Q l ower is needed in a mill to keep the machinery running consistently and to help create a perfect product. This power comes from the turning of the wheel os it is pushed by the water. It is transferred to the cogs and put to use in grinding out a finished product. As the wheel is to the mill, so are the seniors to the high school, They provide the vigor to move the school along. Transferring their enthusiasm to the teams, studies, committees, publications, productions, and service organizations, they provide experienced help and service, just as the wheel initiates the momentum in the mill. Hand in hand with the underclassmen, in the some way the wheel grips the cogs, the seniors strive to uphold Milford's ideals through their work and example, and provide an ut- mosphere for the development of the well-rounded Milford individual.

3 A Si -5 Senior Class officers Wendy Sykes, president, Pat Kane, vice president, Lois Chilcoat, secretary and Jon Ball, treasurer discuss plans for gradua- tion with Mr. Vice and Mr. Butcher, class sponsors. Proms, Shows Fill Years at MMHS 1956-'57 Seismographs all over the world recorded a terrific tremor as the class of 1960 entered Milford Mill. Where do I go now? became our byword as we wandered dumbfoundedly down the halls. We soon became acclimated to the 3:30 P.M. rush and settled down to senior high life. Following our officers, Janette Baker, president, Claire Funlenwider, vice- president, Marie Collins, secretary, and Ed Gluck, treasurer, we took an Old Fashioned Walk in February. 1957-'58 In October our extroverted classmates went ringing door- bells and sold more magazines than any other class in the school. Parlez-vous francais? No, hablo espanoll We began to acquire continental manners as we started taking our foreign language courses and put them to use when we spent an Avril A Paris on April 18. Our.sponsors were Mrs. Gayle fGramlingJ Hassid and Mrs. Sophia lGiedrocJ Mehta. Our officers were Billy Riddle, president, Lois Chilcoat, vice president, Marie Collins, secretary, and Bo Hewing, treasurer. 1958'-59 We were Juniors then and we went to work full force. Our busy program began in October with the Junior Class dance, The Harvest Moon. We saw our officers, Billy Riddle, presi- dent, Pat Kane, vice-president, Marie Collins, secretary, and Gordon Miller, treasurer, dancing to the music of Rivers Chambers at the Junior-Senior Prom, The Song of lndia, in November. Wendy Sykes and Gordon Miller reigned as king and queen at the Junior Prom, Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, in May. Later that month we received the true mark of a senior- our class rings. Our Senior Class officers, Wendy Sykes, presi- dent, Pat Kane, vice-president, Lois Chilcoat, secretary, and Jon Ball, treasurer, represented our class in the ceremony. Anchors Aweigh was our parting song to the seniors as we bid them good-by in the traditional Farewell Assem- bly. We were seniors at last! 1 959'-60 This was our final year and we were determined to make it our best. ln September we presented the first square dance to be given at Milford, The Dogpatch Jamboree, and in January we were the guests of the iuniors at the annual Junior-Senior Dance, Mardi Gras. The Nineteen-Twenties were hilariously lampooned in our Senior Follies, '60 Roars In The Twenties. With the guid- ance of our sponsors, Mr. Thurman Butcher and Mr. Kenneth Vice, we presented our follies on two successive nights for the first time in the history of our school. June came and brought with it the hectic commencement rehearsals and last minute plans for graduation. Baccalaureate exercises, conducted by a rabbi, a priest, and minister were held at Sudbrook Junior High School on June 5. On June 6 we laughed to hide our embarrassment as we saw ourselves being represented on stage in the Farewell Assembly. This was a busy day for us, for it was followed by the Senior Day picnic, spaghetti dinner, and record hop. The next night was our Senior Prom. We danced to the next day and, even when it was over, we hated to go home. Drooping with fatigue, we spent the morning at many private breakfasts. We sat together for the last time on commencement day, June 9. The Human Sculptor was the theme, and speeches based around this topic were given by the valedictorian and salutatorian. As we sang the Alma Mater for the last time, we thought of all the water that had gone over the mill, we thought of all the dances, the classes, and fun we had had as the class of 1960. ' l l 1
