W l Q .1 ...X .ff will .x 'Q 'i ,Q ,a ' . . 2 ,. uv 1 A f,.r ' A Wil 'A 2 HMILFORD MEMORIESH September 28th. was the day! That date marked the opening of the 1948-1949 school year at Milford Prep. New students arrived and registered along with the old boys. Acquaintances from the previous year, and from summer school were renewed, and fresh ones were made . . . The next day program schedules were given out, and classes began. Athletics, too, were soon started and in a short time the football and soccer teams were out on the field practicing for the big games yet to come. The football teams did well for themselves, and Milford completed a good season, starting with a scrimmage against the Arnold College J. V., and ending with a victory over our traditional rivals of the Eeastern Military Academy. The soccer team did not meet the expectations that 'had been held for them, but this was more than compassed by the spirit that the team displayed, the like of which had not been seen for quite some time. The first of many issues of the Mi1fordian was published early in November, and this year's school paper was by far one of the best ever seen. Speaking of publications, the Spanish Circle outdid itself by putting out several excellent issues of El Panam- ericano , which were enjoyed by all their readers. Mr. Ross, who told us about the purpose of the Forum, was the first speaker of the year, and was followed by a host of fine lecturers, covering such topics as Atomic Energy , Hollywood , Logic , Czechoslovakia , Government , etc. The soccer team managed to close its season in a blaze of glory, and a few days later the fall athletic season was brought to an end. The winter athletic program was introduced by our Annual Football Banquet, which was the official changing point of the sports program. A swell dinner was served, followed by speeches from several men prominent in local sports and the award- ing of the Milford to those students who had earned it. The evening closed with the showing of several motion pictures of pro and college foot- ball games.

On November l9, there was a surprise at our forum. Radio station WELI in New Haven held its weekly Student Forum of the Air at our school, and representatives from Laurelton Hall, Milford High, and West Haven High joined us in a debate on Should the United States Adopt a Program of Socialized Medicine? The Spanish Circle took the first of its several trips Cas did the French Circleh to New York City, and many members of that group had an opportunity to see different hit shows, and spend the day in the city. ,Motion Pictures, something new in school life made their debut this year, and met with the great approval of all the students. Educational films were shown regularly on Tuesday mornings, and feature presentations direct from Hollywood were shown on W'ednesday evenings. After the long awaited Christmas vacation, the books piled high as the dreaded mid-year exams approached. To hear everyone talk, one would think that they had all fiunked miserably, but fortunately such was not the case. The completion of the English exams marked the beginning of the much needed rest before the new term. 'Our Mid-Year grads had left Milford when we returned . . . we were all going to miss them . . . but their empty rooms were quickly filled by newly en- rolled students. june graduates soon completed filling out their college applications, and for a time the office staff was literally snowed under the pile of forms from colleges all over the country . . . It seemed but a few days later when the boys in Andrew Hall began to move into other dorms, as it was time for the Mid-Year Prom. What a gala event that was! The girls arrived on Friday afternoon, and moved into the empty Andrew Hall. That evening a marvelous dinner was served in the dining-room and soon afterwards the couples arrived at the New Haven Lawn Club, where one of the most successful proms known to Milford was held. The girls stayed for a basketball game on Saturday afternoon, and then sadly parted company with their escorts. By Monday, normality has re- turned to the school, and except for the faint aroma of perfume in Andrew, and many happy memories, the dance was but another event in the history of the class of '49 lt was now time to resume work, as the April College Board Examinations were looming in the distance. School went on as usual until the middle of March, when it was time for the long awaited spring vacation. After a happy two weeks at home, the boys resumed work, as the Boards were but a few days away. Our basketball season came to a happy end with a series of well played games, and recognition was given to those well deserving members at the annual basketball dinner. Seminar papers were due soon . . . College Boards were over, and everyone anxiously awaited the returns from the various exams. Spring sports were being organized, and members of the newly formed track, baseball, and tennis squads could be seen working out for the different games that were soon to be played. Notices of acceptance to different colleges were being received and every now and then some happy senior would be seen running about the dorm, madly waving a letter from some university. Our teams were doing well in their respective sports, and the games were always well played with the best ex- amples of spirit and sportsmanship being displayed. Soon came the grand event that every senior had been eagerly anticipating-the june Prom. The boys invited their girls, and preparations were under- way for the event of the year. The dance turned out to be one of the finest ever held by the school, and for days afterwards the fellows went about in a fog, still dreaming about that happy evening. Things cleared up quickly however, for it was Commence- ment Week, and time for the climax of four years of hard work. Graduation was here, and everyone was both happy and sad. Happy with the knowledge that we had completed our secondary schooling, sad, for we were leaving Milford and parting from friends with whom we worked, played, and lived for so long. Wfe have had a full and happy year, and we sin- cerely wish that those who come after us will have as successful a time as we have had. From the Class of 1949 - - good-luck Milford, and goodbye. ffxia-rsmsmwimt' V - Q, fff1-wrsagat,.a:f:w,rviiiag1s rs:sawsfxaf1:i:xs.i2w1af:11,ft -. .
