, THE FOOTBALL DANCE On November 19, 1938, practically the entire student body and their beau- teous female companions, not to mention the faculty, attended the Annual Football Dance held in the school gymnasium. 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.
