Class History In the fall of 1948 there were eight little Freshmen coming to Milford High School They were Kieth Trotter, Ken Trotter, Rayford Blevins, Floyd Nelson, Bonnie Head, Bonnie Schweitzer, Pat Head, and Elsie Stevens. We had a lot of new experiences that year, Our Freshman initiation was pretty bad but we all lived through it. The year passed by quickly for our class. Then in fall of 1949 we came back to Milford and there were seven Sophornores. We lost Kenneth Trotter who went to join the Navy. We also lost Rayford Blevins in March of 1950 who moved with his folks to a different farm. The rest of the Sopho- mores finished their Sophomore year, F We came back to Milford High School in September 1950 with only three Juniors. Pat Head, Elsie Stevens, and Floyd Nels on. Bonnie Head had quit school. Bonnie Jean went to Chapman High School and Kieth Trotter left to join. the Navy. However in our Junior year Bob Johnston from Scandia came to Milford to go to school. We finished our Junior year with these four. Our last and final year in 1951 and 1952 there were again only three of us: Floyd, Bob, and Elsie. Pat Head did not finish school. The following were: Bob Johnston was president, Floyd Nelson, vice-president, and Elsie Stevens, secretary-treasurer. We completed our year with the same three.

Class Poem l The time to graduate is near We never thought we'd make it here. From M. H. s. our Alma Motor, ' To venture where there are many other. Ours is the smallest class of all, Gnly three answer the roll call. We're always there when it comes to work, Not a one did ever shirk. Bob, Johnston is a swell guy, He never bothers anyone. Always with a friendly grin, Which he refuses none. Bob Johnston is a swell guy, Who talks but very little. But there is something special, In all he has to say. Elsie Stevens is quite a girl, She sure is cute, but not much of a talker. She's lots of fun, or so I havelheard, If she makes a promise, she keeps her word Elsie is Sam's girl, Once in awhile they go for a whirl, In Sam's 1951 Ford, Made of bolts, tin, and board. Floyd is a happy go lucky lad, Whenever he's around you're glad. Some new trick he's always trying, I know someday he will catch you spying. floyd is o jolly good fellow, There's mischief in his eyes. He gets the girls without a sigh, Of course, he never ever tells them goodbye
