In order for a boy to become a member of this organization, it was necessary for him to be a leader of one of the School's extra-curricular activities. The editors of the school publications, the captains of the various athletic teams, the managers of these teams, and the president of the graduation class were members. The group met with the Headmaster at different times during the school year to talk over and offer solutions to some of the problems that arose during the school year.

We wish to thunk Mr. Charles F. Gill, our faculty advisor, for his valuable suggestions, numerous guna-ndments, and time, which he has unstintingly given us.

News of world events and news of the School, to say nothing of numerous essays, articles, and short stories by various literary-minded students on subjects of their own choosing, have contributed to an entertaining paper which the whole student body enjoyed. THE DRAMATIC CLUB Very few of us have forgotten the two memorable eve- nings of entertainment made possible by the Dramatic Club under the able direction of Messrs. Connett and S. E. Rosen- baum. The evening of the Football Dance, the Dramatic Club brought to the eyes of many its first work of the year by present- ing 'glf Men Played Cards As Women Do, and a short skit written by one of the students. To a packed house at The Plymouth Playhouse on April 21, the Club presented its annual entertainment for the people of Milford by presenting Sham, Ile and again, by popular request, If Men Played Cards As Women Do. Earl McMurray served as club president and Bob Campbell as vice-president, while the leading performers were: Kelly Dant, Frank Cuneo, John Kelly, james MacCammond, Wil- liam Bromberg, and Robert Wacht. l , 1 'f!,.-.? 'f'-va THE GLEE CLUB At the first meeting of the Glee Club this year, Robert Campbell was elected, for the second year, President of a very fine and well trained organiza- tion. Throughout the year meetings were held weekly for the boys of the school who were interested in singing. B111 Connett was the director, and we should be very proud of his fine work, making it possible for the Glee Club to appear at the Plymouth Playhouse in an entertainment given by the students each year for the parents and friends of the school. Each member not only should be proud of the work he accomplished but also should look back with great satisfaction to the very enjoyable times had at these weekly meetings. 1 P s ' I I X -I 1, ,M t, 1' X- . 7 K I 1 4 l fyfi .N- ,Q 4 Fit +7 my Q X GLsa.CLu,b r-9 DEBATING CLUB Every Monday the Debating Club of Milford met in order that members of the club might be ready to present logically and entertainingly their views on various interesting topics. They held four major debates in the Forum in the course of the year. Mr. Sidney Rosenbaum was the Debating team's instructor, and he deserves the praise of the entire school for the line work produced throughout the year. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Mr. Theodore R. Connett met with a group of boys every Tuesday throughout the entire year, in ...pw .wa-4 T H order to train them to think ,and speak on their feet with poise and self-assurance. In order to do this, modern speaking material was given to the boys and from this they prepared a speech each week. The Club's work was climaxed by a splendid performance of public speaking and reading of poetry on Lincolnls birthday. GRENFELL COMMITTEE The Grenfell Committee was an active agent in the school life this year. This group took charge of collecting contributions for welfare work. The fall term saw the members contribute to the Red Cross, while during the winter they conducted a very suc- cessful Christmas party. . on 4 4' J 'f,1'ig 3 - Td.n:E,,Qii4+ ff V. rE4::,j,, - M, , - Wia- 7,- 1 '72 .

FOOTBALL l , if ' ,, ' On the first day of practice 26 men reported to try for a place on the Maroon and White team for 1938. Of this number only Captain Boyle, Bob Campbell, Steve O'Hedy, and Walter Sheahan saw varsity service in 1937. The team .X ln' X M was terrifically handicapped by lack of substitutes and but a l Football short time in which to practice. CHOATE Only two weeks after thc start of practice the team went to Wallingford to play its traditional rival, Choate. Milford showed a strong defense until late in the second period when the Blue and Gold drew first blood with two touchdowns in rapid succession. At the opening of the second half O,Hedy returned the kick-off to Choate's 28 yard line where two passes enabled him to score gloriously. For the remainder of the game Milford was on its defensive. Captain Boyle and Steve O'Hedy played very good ball for Milford as did Hood for Choate. Final score: Milford 6-WChoate 18. PEEKSKILL MILITARY A fast, shifty Peekskill M. A. team came down to Milford and handed us our second defeat of the season by a score of 27-12. Though completely outplayed in the first half Milford was able to hold Peekskill scoreless in the second while scoring two touchdowns in her own behalf. Curren and Shendell went over on passes from O'Hedy to score twice in the last half and thus deny the visitors a shutout. Again Captain Boyle deserves a great deal of praise for his fine perform- ance. Dolan of Peekskill was the star of the game, scoring two touchdowns and aiding in the other two. Final score: Milford 12-Peekskill 27. YALE FROSH After battling four wet and muddy quarters on her own field, the Yale Fresh- men walked off with a 25-7 victory over the Milford eleven. Facing a far heavier team under conditions favorable to plays calling for power rather than her own open fast strategem, Milford was able to cross Yale's goal line only once. From the opening kick-off the Maroon and White was on the defensive and it wasn't until the fourth period that Milford scored its touchdown via a pass from O'Hedy to Curren. Wilson's kicking prevented Yale from making any points in the last half although they drove deep into Milford territory several times. Curren and O'Hedy provided thrills in the backfield while Boyle, Yocher, and Shendell did fine work on the line. Final score: Milford 7-Yale Frosh 27. PAWLING Next Milford traveled to Pawling where they fought to a 0-0 deadlock with the New Yorkers. It was a nip-and-tuck game throughout, full of thrills. Both teams threatened several times but neither had the deciding punch to make its efforts count. Jimmy Curren deserved great praise for his work in this game, his passing and running being the spark of the Milford offense. The Milford line was also slated for congratulations on their dogged holding when four times they were fighting from back of their own 15 yard line. Final score: Pawling 0- Milford U. CHESHIRE For their next game the team traveled to Cheshire to play another traditional rival. Even though this squad is reputed to be one of the best f'prep school teams V :Sir i V in the state, the Maroon and White held them scoreless for three periods taking all that Cheshire could give until superior man power brought a collapse. Milford was seriously handicapped in this game due to the injuries of Haggerty and Sheahan, tackles. Late in the third period, Captain Boyle had to be relieved because of injury, thus denying Milford of its best line bulwark. Then in spite of our best efforts, the Cheshire squad put over four touchdowns and three conversions. Final score: Milford 0-Cheshire 27. WILBRAHAM Playing Wilbraham Academy of Wilbraham, Mass., in the final game of an unsuccessful season, Milford came through with amazing power and speed to defeat her strongly favored rival 7-O. Milford lost no time in scoring. On the fifth play of the game, Al Roller stood on the midfield stripe ,and passed to jimmy Curren who bolted across the goal line. Yocher's try for the extra point was blocked but Harry Shendell, scooped up the ball and crossed the line. Milford threatened several times but was unable to score again. The whole team played very well throughout the game, repulsing Wilbraham time after time as the visitors were on the verge of scoring. But in spite of Wilbraham's efforts the Maroon and White came out on top. Final score: Milford 7-Wilbraham 0.

Captain Allan Hirshberg, the only returning letterman of the 1938 season, led his team of Bob Yocher, Bill Thomson, Harry Shendell, and Al Roller through an exceptionally hard and diflicult schedule. And although only four victories were registered as against ten defeats, we had a really fine team, marked by fine spirit and fight, and beaten only because of lack of experienced substitutes. On January 10, after only two days of real practice, the Maroon and White opened its season with an overwhelming victory over the Junior College of Connecticut. Harry Shendell and Bill Thomson both turned in 14 points as Milford won, 51-39. Our second game, played on January 21 against the Yale Freshmen at the Payne Whitney Gymnasium in New Haven, was probably the most thrilling game of the season. After Milford had held doggedly to a slight advantage during nearly the entire game, the Freshmen rallied at the last moment to even the game up at 34-all, and then scored in a Sudden Death overtime period to win, 36-34. The same story repeated itself when the Bridgeport Trade School came from behind in the closing moments of the game to win, 40-37. Playing our first home game, we were nosed out by Cheshire Academy, 36-31. Foul shots played an important part of this game, inasmuch as ten of the visitors' points were scored on free throws. Collegiate Prep was Milford's second victim in five starts, as Hirshberg and Roller starred to give Milford the edge, 35-34. The game against junior College of Commerce, on February 4, was probably the greatest disappointment of the season, since we were finally nosed out, 35-34. However, it was in this game that Bill Thomson turned in the highest score for one game, tallying.19 points. In our next game, played against Choate on February 8, Milford was very much in the game until the last quarter, when the Wallingfordians pulled away to win a well-deserved victory, 35-31. Collegiate Prep, avenging its former defeat at our hands, eked out a slim margin of victory, 39-37. February 14 found the Junior College of Commerce gaining a slight edge to defeat the Milford team, 43-37, in spite of Harry Shendell's sterling play and 13 points. February 28 was a red-letter day in the season, as Milford took an easy 35-26 victory over the formidable Trinity Parish aggregation. Once again Thomson played an outstanding game, with 13 points credited to him. St. Thomas, of Hartford, a considerably bigger and more experienced team, handed us a one-sided defeat, 41 -27, The next game, against Bridgeport Trade on February 21, was a considerable disappointment, since we received a stinging defeat, 49-34. Our last game away, played on February 24 against Trinity Parish, was a' nip-and-tuck affair right up till the final whistle, with Trinity avenging its former defeat, and subduing the Maroon and White, 29-25. Winding up its season at home against the Junior College of Connecticut, the Milford team had little difhculty in coming out on top, 32-24. In short, although the figures do not seem to point to a successful season, Coach Pepper and his men deserve a great deal of praise for turning out a team with the admirable qualities of fight and spirit and sportsmanship so highly developed. And so, hats off to Coach Pepper and the Varsity squad of Captain Allan Hirshberg, Bob Yocher, Bill Thomson, Harry Shendell, and Al Roller. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL just before the close of the Winter term, the intramural basketball tourna- ment was played off. Each of the five teams, composed of members of the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and League teams,.was named for some large university and was captained by one of the five Varsity men. Shendell was captain of Columbia, Hirshberg of Dartmouth, Roller of Fordham, Yocher of Harvard, and Thomson of Yale. From the start it was clean that Columbia and Dartmouth would be the chief contenders for first place. Each had played and won three games, but in the play- off Columbia managed to squeeze out a 14-12 victory, thus clinching first place. Bill Thomson was high scorer for the tournament, with 56 points to his credit, next came Sayre, with 505 Pearson, with 48, Hirshberg, with 345 and Coppola, with 32. W, WILSON-GOULD LEAGUE BASKETBALL This year was the seeond in which Milford was represented by a fighting, hard-playing Wilson-Gould League team. They managed to win two games while losing four against their skilled opponents, even without the service of Dick Pearson, who moved up to the jayvees, and Bodie Tornrners, who was unable to play because of illness. As the team finally lined up, it was Jack Platt and Sherman Kouns at forward, Herbert Bailey at Center, and Al Strauss and Dick Fegreus at guard, with Porteous, Morris, Poriss, Maealuso, and Doolittle as substitutes.

The outlook this year was far less hopeful than at the same time last year, when a powerful aggregation of Pepper, Zanolli, Kupec, and Newell gave sure promise of the successful season to come. This year, however, there was a great scarcity of competent and seasoned material. joe Boyle, in the outfield, was the only 1938 letterman to return, and every other position had to be taken by relatively inexperienced men. Bob Yocher, hailing from Hillhouse High, Al Roller, Bill Wilson, and Dick Fegreus composed the hurling staff. Harry Shendell, behind the plate, proved to be an excellent batter ,as well as a fine catcher, and was elected captain. Jim Curren at first, Tom Conine and Frank Coppola sharing duty at second, Kelly Dant at short, and Bill Thomson holding down the hot corner completed the mfield. Haggerty, Boyle, and Frechette made up the outfield. The Milford squad traveled to Wallingford on April 15 to meet Choate in its first scheduled game of 'the season, and came out on the underside of a very lopsided score, 10-1. It was clearly Choate all the way through, in spite of the splendid hurling on the part of Bob Yocher and the work at the plate by Curren, Yocher, and Shendell. I 1 Again, on April 22, Milford tasted bitter defeat, this time at the hands of a first-class Yale Junior Varsity. The Elis garnered 9 runs, while all the efforts of Coach Pepper's men were unable to score. Poor fielding Q11 errors in allj was a deciding factor in Milford's 9-0 defeat. But things took on a somewhat different shape as, on April 27, a powerful Yale Freshman team scarcely eked out a meager 6-5 victory over a fighting, hard- playing Milford squad. Fine pitching on the part of Bill Wilson, and superb support both at bat and in the field by Shendell, Curren, Thomson, and Boyle accounted for our fine showing. On May 1, Milford came out on top of a slugging, high-scoring free-for-all against Bridgeport Trade School, 12-11. By the seventh inning a succession of hits by Joe Boyle, Harry Shendell, Jim Curren, and nearly every other man on the team had combined to give Milford a nice lead, 9-1. But within the next two innings things changed considerably, and in the ninth, with the score 11-11, Bob Yocher was called in to pitch Milford out of a hole. He did it very well, and in the tenth inning the winning run was pushed across. X BADMINTON The season of Milford's Badminton team lasted from direct- ly after the Thanksgiving vacation to the end of the winter term, when it was climaxed by a tournament. It was comprised of sixteen members, four being from last year's squad and twelve neophytes. Under the able direction of Mr. Frank Doherty, the team's collective ability was raised from the novice class so that the final tournament was very well played. Fred Smoot won, and was awarded the silver cupg John McLaughlin was runner-up in the competition. TENNIS The Milford tennis squad promises at this writing to be one of the best to represent Milford in recent years. Coached by Mr. Frank Doherty, it is a six-man team comprised of James Levy, No. 1 man, and Hirshberg, McMurray, Ordway, Smoot, and Strauss in that order, with Mansbach the strongest candi- date for substitution. jim Levy has been chosen captaing Joe Wulfeck is in the manageral position. One match has been played and that one was with West Haven High School with whom the Milfordians split 2-2 in points. Milford won the No. 1 and 2 singles matches and then the West Haveners took two doubles games to tie the score. A return match with West Haven is scheduled for May 5.

The dance was a huge success and was considered by many of the faculty and older students as one of the best school dances in recent years. Dinner was served at seven-thirty, before the dance, and at eight-thirty the members of the dramatic club presented a humorous satire by George S. Kauf- man entitled If Men Played Cards As Women Do. The budding young actors, Frank Cuneo, John Kelly, Robert Campbell, and Walter Hyman, played the parts of four men at a bridge party, acting and speaking in the manner of the female sex at its favorite sport. Dancing started at the close of the entertainment to the sweet strains of an excellent eight-piece orchestra led by a gentleman known as Herm Keller. The social committee under the able direction of Chairman Earl McMurray did a very fine job at decorating the gym and it was quite in keeping with the football spirit. Shortly after one o'clock the dancing was over and the perspiring youths and their partners, to say nothing of the tired faculty, reluctantly filed out of the gym, the former wishing that the evening were just beginning and the latter wishing that they were home in bed at that hour. OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY On Saturday night, December tenth, 1938, a Christmas party was given for all the members of the school. The faculty also were invited to receive their little gifts from Santa Claus. The library was chosen as the appropriate place in which to hold the function. Naturally the room was decorated in accord with the good old Christmas spiritf' which has always reigned here at Milford. The decorations were all in good taste. A Christmas tree beautifully decorated, holly wreaths, mistletoe, and all the fixins were abundant. The festivities were started by the presenting of gifts to both the faculty and students alike. These gifts were suited to the individual's personality, and as they were opened at the time of receiving, had a humorous effect. Following this, delicious refreshments were served. The students and the faculty conversed about various subjects, covering a vast number of topics, from what one was going to do over the vacation, to who would win the '39 World Series. The party was reluctantly disbanded about ten-thirty, after the season's greetings of good cheer were exchanged by all. We are all grateful particularly to the Social Committee, including Walter Sheahan, who represented old Santa Claus, and the other boys, Frank Cuneo, James Levy, Robert Campbell and Allan Hirshberg, for their work in making possible the good time which everyone had. THE INFORMAL DANCE To the sweet and hot rhythms of the finest orchestras in the land, many of the Milford men and their young ladies danced away the evening of March 11. The music was supplied by Frank Cuneofs combination victrola and radio set on which the student's favorite records, from Dick Fegreus' and F rank's collections, were played. At about eight-thirty in the evening the boys went out to call for their girls. Many steps were directed toward Weylister, for the boys know and like a great many of the girls over there. Some of the other boys brought various town girls whom they have met this year. At nine-thirty the party was in full swing with everyone dancing and talking and having a very excellent time. John Ordway was the fellow responsible for changing the records and we all should be very grateful for the excellent way in which he faithfully carried out his duties. Refreshments were served during the evening. These consisted of a delicious punch, and dainty cakes which were made by the wives of the faculty. All of the students appreciated this and the many other favors which the wives of our faculty have done for the boys and the school throughout the entire year. The dancing and the merriment was continuous until twelve o'clock, when Mr. Pearson was forced to end the fun, that the boys might be able to bring the girls home and return to the dorms at the especially appointed hour of one o'clock. The students were grateful to the Social Committee, headed by Earl McMur- ray and aided by Frank Cuneo, John Ordway, John Hoffstot, and James Kenney. This informal dance was more or less of an experiment with the fellows here at Milford this year, and if we are not mistaken, we believe it an experiment which all the students of years to come would like to have repeated more often. SATURDAY NIGHT PARTIES Every Saturday night throughout the school year, except those nights when a special function was taking place, a party was held for the faculty and students in the school library. These parties have many purposes, the most important of which is to create a better social feeling between the students and faculty and a better social under- standing among the students themselves. Observation of the earlier parties, and the more recent ones, clearly shows that these functions have attained their purpose. J A typical Saturday night affair occurred on the evening of October 8, when a group gathered in a questionnaire game, the questions being supplied by Mr. S. B. Rosenbaum. The two teams were under the captainship of John Ordway and John Porteus. Mr. Rosenbaum fired questions at both masters and boys. John Ordway's team succeeded in winning with the efforts of Dr. Waugh, who seemed to know all the answers. This was the first Saturday night party of the year, very successful, and enjoyed by all. On other occasions, different types of games, contests, and other forms of amusement were substituted. Occasionally entertainers were brought in to amuse the boys. FORUMS The bi-weekly Forum meeting of the entire school was an event which played a great part in making our life here at Milford the pleasurable one it is. Early in the year the Forum officers, Joseph Boyle CChairmanj , and Allan Hirshberg CSecretaryQ, were elected. The duties of these boys were chiefly for the chairman to preside on days when there was no outside speaker, and for the secretary the comparatively easy job of keeping the record of the individual gatherings of the Forum. We owe a great share of gratification to these Milford men for the spendid way in which they have performed their duties. The first Forum was opened by Reverend Dr. Roy M. Houghton, Chaplain of the school, on September 30, 1938. The men of Milford were given an inspiring talk upon the influence of God upon their daily lives. Among other guest speakers that appeared at our Forums were the Reverend Bass, Mr. McGee, Professor of English at Yale University, Mr. Henry Istus and his seeing-eye dog, Mr. John Smith with slides and description of the Hawaiian Islands, Mr. Goldsmith, editor of the Milford News, and various other interesting and instructive men. On the Forum days when no outside speaker was with us, the Forums were usually conducted by Joseph Boyle, who gave various speakers among the boys the right to take the floor and present their views on certain questions previously posted on the bulletin board. In concluding, we all thank our guests, teachers, and students who have aided in making these interesting Forums possible. THE SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Social Committee under the able guidance of Dr. Waugh and Earl McMurray, planned the social events of the school year. This group planned the Saturday night entertainments, the football dance, the informal dances, and the various card parties of the year. This committee made the school year more entertaining and enjoyable for the student body and faculty. THE PROM COMMITTEE The Social Committee gave the Best Football Dance ever given at Milford and the same can be said for the Prom Committee, which arranged a very fine graduation dance for the school. This committee was headed by a very able chairman, Walter Sheahan, aided by a very competent committee: Harvey Cohen, John Haggerty, Robert Yocher, Robert Campbell, Earl McMurray, Allan Hirshberg, Fred Smoot. esususnen me ,lax gl: sllp fg, . l 'N , 523535555 S 5 ' , 'fe ?f'3 V e - V2 I by Meena, gen,-s mrshungzngais afghnes Munson AVENUE con. eonrv-eounu sneer : gf 'Q ff NEW Yom: E' lilly' ' fi' ne l OUR NEW DEPARTINIENT FOR I ' A u YOUNG MEN ' I Specializes in Clothes A 62-3 and Furnishings for e mu' 1'-X fx:- Undergraduates at School and College at reasonable prices BRANCHE5 NEW YORK: one wnu. svnes BOSTON: Nzwnunv n.
