In nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, we made our first voyage toward an island of higher learning. Our good aircraft carrier was captained by Paul Schaumburg with Marian Holmes and Harriet Meyer serving as first and second mates, respectively.' Our admirals of the council were Mary Frame and Arthur Kellerhals. To serve as pilots, we had Mr. Werner and Mr. Bishop. we were well represented in the Junior Frolic as well as on the athletic field. Yes, we had our heroes, leur triumphant moments and yet rarer, tastes of defeat. This was a new adventure for us and we wished to know more about it, Unscathed, and ripened by wisdom and knowledge, we returned to begin our second voyage. A few grappled in vain to keep from falling overboard in their fight for knowledge and then sank into the seag yet, it seemed new midship en were always in evidence. Again our ship was captained by Paul Schaumburg. Our ship's mates were James Pruitt and Bill Wilson. Those ever present ad- mirals of the council were Mary Frame and Earl O'Neal. Mr. Brown and Miss Brainard piloted our good ship through the narrow channels. Wo again, among other events, supported the Junior Frolic whole-hcartodly. Interest in extra- curricular activities increased and many of our crow were found present in these worthwhile organizations. Was it the new title Junior that spurred the crew of our third voyage to revived efforts or was it because we had work to do? Our third trip captain again was Paul Schau burg who Was assisted by Merle Le Sage and Bill Wilson as those over present first and second mates. The industrious admirals were Mary Frame and Arthur Kcllcrhals. Our pilots were Miss Rieglc, Miss Jacobs, and Miss Dittlingor. 'With those pilots who knew where the correct course lay, we staged tho Junior Frolic and produced the accompanying Junior play. Good as this event was, it was only a proludo to the social climax of the year, namely the nJunior-Senior Shuffle.n This was a gala cvont for all Juniors and Seniors and their guests. We worked hard to finance as well as plan this event. The patriotic motif was strikingly in evidence, and a new height of enjoyment was reached in this new historic evening. The advent of the fourth trip of our crew in the fall of u42u focused the thoughts of forty-two Seniors on the nearness of their goal--eventual gradu- ation. A special recognition was given Paul Schaumburg. He had served our ship as captain for three years and now returned for the fourth momentous year. Edwin Janssen and Arthur Kcllerhals were chosen mates. In mentioning admirals, diligent Mary Frame receives credit for serving tho crow for four consecutive years. Arthur Kellorhals was the other admiral. Ho, too, de- serves credit for his service to tho crow.

To us it represents that bold race which was unafraid to lay the foundation for a mighty nation. This hatchet has become to Milford Township High School a symbol of suc- cess. It serves as a color bearer for each senior class. As the Stars and Stripes'are symbolic of the traditions of the United States, so this hatchet is symbolic of all that the student body of our school hold sacred. We, the Senior Class of '43, having reached our goal, have added our colors and we have pledged to hold sacred the traditions of this symbol. As a representative of the Class of '43, I entrust to the Class cf '44 this Hatchet. May you prove loyal to it so our traditions will be preserved and cherished by the future generations. VA LEDIC TOKY Parents, Teachers, and Friends, we are taking the last few steps on the stairs of secondary education. The stairway has been short, for it seems only yesterday that we mounted the first step as wide-eyed, wondering Freshmen. As we are reaching the top, the thought comes to us--have we climbed carefully, absorbing all the good,ca:ti1g off the bad? No, perhaps not all of us, but we all have worked diligently to prepare ourselves as citizens of tomorrow. For we realize that we are tho ohosen.whc will rule our nation when this struggle is over. we will not all be President, or Vice-President, or Congressmen or women, but instead, the strong useful citizens who strive to make their country ever greater and better. Who are these citizens? By what standard must one live to be a strong and useful citizen, one who is worthy of thc nemo--American? There is a code, the good American's code, consisting of ten laws. These are the.laws of right living. The first is the law of self control. we who best control ourselves can best serve our country. As Americans, we must control our tongues, thinking S ' -' . --4 a- ' . x is fs C A 4' faire l ' Q .fJ',...g...1g!' KJ 'Rishi before speaking, and making sure what we say is the truth. Even in indigna- tion against wrong, we must control our tempers, our actions, and our thoughts. A foolish wish easily spoils a wise purpose. The second is the law of kindness. Here in America we who are different must live as neighbors. Our nationalities, many of our customs, ard cur modes of living are varied. But does that mean that each must despise the ether? Yindnsss mike: her entrance here, and along with kindness--tolerance. for we cirnot live fir ourselves alone, abhbrring all who are not like us. hc, kind- ness is the virtae which must not ever be forsaken by Americans, Third is the law of sportsmanship. Clean play increases our strength, trains our courage. Sportsmanship is the dominating factor in making Peeri- cafs ladies and gentlemen. It includes fairness, honesty, courtesy, and most of all generosity. For are not these the merits which allow another the rivile e of voieinc his oninion? In rou fames we must not ala- for eur- Q J. - E 1 - selves, but always for the school, the team, or for the fun of the game. -5 is not for ersonal rlorv that our mer endure the terrible hardshios of war, D 4 . but for the glory of their nation-sour natisn. Next is the law of self reliance. Egctism and conceit are ridiculous, but self reliance is a part of every good American. we should grasp tba knowledge that passes our wey, ever seeking opportunities to learn from the experience of others. Independence, to a certain degree, and window must be developed, giving us the assurance that we can think, choose, and act dec rding to what seems right and fair to us. The fear of being laughed at for doing what is right should be cast aside with cowardice and conceit. 'Wren in danger, trouble, or pain, bravery is the Amcrican's motto. ' Fifth is the law of duty. Shirkers, idlers, opportunists--those live from the toil of others. It is they who form the fifth colu n, grasping what they desire regardless-of others. The absentee from the war plant, the drafts dodger, the profitecr, seem never to have heard of this law of duty. We as true Americans must strive to find our duty, then whether it be painful, dif- ficult, unploasant, or easy, put our whole selves to the task of performing it in a manner of which we can be proud. ' What willbc our guide? Who will lend us aid when wc fall behind or are led astray from this code? Without a moment's hesitation the answer is found in those whom we regard as the finest of Americans--our parents, our teachers, and our friends. It is they who will inspire us to carry on so that we might attain the honor of being strong and useful citizens. So with deepest appre- ciation and grateful thanks in our hearts, we offer to theme-to youw-a sincere welcome. --Marian Holmes ffxLf,oe4o'fe:1ef Parents, Teachers, and Friends! Today, more than ever, it is imrortant for us, as Americans, to become better citizens, stronger, more useful and more worthy of our glorious nationk We, as Americans, have a creed whereby we attain these attributes. This creed helps us 'to find our way to new glory and grace in the midst of worldwide change. America is placing all its faith in her youth, therefore we must, one and all, fight for the anew birth of freedem.U We, the class of '45, are very proud to.say that one of our classmates is already in the service of our coun- try, and many will perhaps soon follow him. These Anwlican boys are glad to have the opportunity to fight for our rich and nighty United States, which has grown from a prayerful little band of colonists who also camo to seek freed m from oppressive rule. New again, a war has sprung up on every side. we saw our treasured way of life threatened, and entered the war with other democra- cies. we know we will win, but in order to shorten the great struggle, we must work and work hard. We must all obey the code of the good American. THE GOOD AMERICAN IS RELIABLE: He must be honest in word and act, and must protect the property of others. When he has promised to do a task, he must immediately fulfill it, so that people find it easier to trust him. THE GOOD AMERICAN IS TRUE: The greatest cause ef non-unity in a nation is believing suspicions, making hasty opinions without facts, and spreading of poisonous rumors. He must stand by the truth regardless of his likes and dism likes and scorn all temptation to falsehood. Above all, he must not be prejun diced, but he must search for evidence and learn to reason that he may disn cover new truths. THE GOOD AMERICAN TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN THE RIGHT WAY: A demos cracy depends upon education, therefore to preserve our democratic form of government, he must obtain the best possible education. Knowledge is price- less and' cannot be purchased in dollars and cents. The good American must never be lax and merely passable at his work, but must take a hearty interest in it. A good example of this carelessness is absenteeism in war factories. How many more ships, planes, and guns could be produced if countless Americans would form habits of good work and keep alert. THE GOOD ALERICAN WORKS IN ERIENULY COOPERATION WITH FELLOW WORKERS: One man could not build a city or a bridge, but many laborers must work together for days to construct a large building. Cheerfulness and orderliness is a great aid in working with others. Without these characteristics, labor is a very tedious task. . ' , n -2 f -f --5 r Im U Xx I rl Xp I -L.: .il M-v J X..,4'ffa.g THE GOOD AMERICAN IS LOYAL: If our America is to become ever greater, her citizens must be loyal to every relation of life. Loyalty to family is of utmost importance, for the home is the foundation of the nation. If he has been instructed to be loyal to his family, he is automatically loyal to his state and country, and he will thereby help the friendly relations of our country with every other country. Greater than these is loyalty to church-- a loyalty which is so sincere as to became faith. Without faith we are indeed dead. We, the Class of '43, have been loyal to our Alma Mater, and now that our boys are leaving for the battlefronts, we know they will continue their steadfast loyalty. Let us bear this in mind! He who obeys the law of loyalty obeys all the other nine laws of the good American. --Harriet Meyers WITS WAQS Jim Pruitt camo into the school room one morning plainly ex- cited. nYes, Jim, what is it?n exclaimed the teacher.

Our first obstacle was electing our crew officers. we elected Darrell Piersol.as pilot, Robert Carter as co-pilot, and Ruth Newtson as radio technician. Our steward and stewardess of the council were Gene Asbury and Waneta Callahan. Mr. Tabor and Mr. Bishop were our commanding officers. Before very long, we had to brave NFreshman Initiation.n After this event was over, we felt as if we really nbelongedu with the other crews at MTHS. Among the events in which we as a crew participated was the Junior Frolic. We presented the stunt HA Day in the Milford Court,u but being new on the field, we didn't have much success in trying our wings. By this time, members of our crew were becoming active in extra-curricular activities, and we were proud of them. we flew through with a very profitable year. The beginning of the next year, we began our flight to the Sophomore Plantation. we again elected our crew officers. This time, Robert Carter was elected as pilot and Lucille Mohler as co-pilot. Ruth Newtson retained her position as technician. The steward and stewardess were Darrell Piersol and Waneta Callahan. We were also ably assisted by Miss Ward and Mr. Fu k as flight commanders. 0ur brakes locked. We were awarded only a second place in the Junior Frolic with the stunt uArmy Life.n But then, accidents do happen! The pro- peller died down and vacation soon breezed through the corridors. In the fall of d42,u we began the flight through our Junior year. we had many new crew members from Woodland this year. We also had new commanders. They were the Misses Riegle, Dittlinger, and Mendenhall. These new additions to the crew brought many new ideas with them, and we feel that they have greatly helped us on our nnon-stop flight to perfection.n We again elected Robert Carter as our head pilot. Darrell Piersol was elected as co-pilot, and Waneta Callahan took the post of radio technician. James Garner and Joan Akerly were elected as steward and stewardess of the council. Our biggest problem was securing enough money for the uJunior-Senior Hop.n To finance that coming event, we gave the play nThe Perfect Gentlemen.u Our play and the other class stunts were uite good, and the receipts of this event, UThe Junior Frolic,N were high. A2 present, we are hard at work on the plans for that nhoph in the spring. We as a class would like it remembered that we are striving to reach per- fection at the end of our flights. Then, we too, will test our wings against the winds. FLIGEHT OFFICEICS IQEQCJKD We are the Sophomores, the Class of '45L In the fall of '41, fifty-four Freshmen signed up for the four-year training course. Being new recruits, we had to brave initiation. we managed, hcweyer, to come out u scathed. ' Perhaps our first big assignment was electing our officers. Alfred Brooks was our pilotg Elwyn Crist, our co-pilot, and Donna Gooding,our chief navigator. Juanita Mohler and Robert Laird were our bombardiers. Our flight instructors were Mr. Tabor and Mr. Bishop. F -Our float, Going to the Game, wasgiven honorable mention in the Home- coming Parade. Of course, we participated in the Junior Frolic, but with little success. Our first year soon came to a close: we were proud of our icrew. Eagerly, we awaited the coming of the fall so we might begin the second year of our training course. f ' , When again we entered MTHS, we found six of our crew were listed as casu- alties. The forty-eight returning recruits were strong from the needed vaca- tion period. Wayne Rosenberger became our pilot with Marjorie Zimmerman serving as co-pilot. Again the chief navigator was Donna Gooding. The bom- bardiers were Juanita Mohler and Elwyn Crist. This year our flight instruc- tors were Mrs. Barneck and Mr. Legg. Our crew members participated in all activities of our training school. Some of our members were active in presenting the Gay Ninetics Revue. This year, as in our first year, we provided a stunt for the Junior Frolic but were still the losers. we plan to go through the next two years with due amount of success, for we know that by working hard, we will, in time,become first class men of the airways. It's funny that when you're a Freshman, You're afraid of teachers, books, and such: But when you get into your second year, These things don't matter half so much. You forget about being scared to deaths You're out to have some fun: And when folks look your way, That's what you're doing--By Gum! --Gertie CAE1E'F'5 It E-COR D We, the Freshman class of MTHS, built an airship--a huge affair that is to make round-theeworld flights in the course of three short years. First of all, came the framework. That we built with sturdy material re- cruited from the Milford Grade School and the schools from our immediate rural areas. Then, of course, we elected our crew officers. To design our good ship, we selected Lloyd Carter with Don Fleming as co-designer. we ohose James Austin to chart our course. Of course, our ship had a steward and stewe ardess. They were Elmer Allen and Donna Clayton, respectively. The men in charge of airway traffic control were Mr. Rich and Mr. Carter. Among ow? crew, we found many talented people. Now, we have shipls musicians and enters tainers to delight the heart of any traveler. We took our.test flight QFreshman Initiationl a few weeks after our Ship was completed. Since then, we have made a successful flight to the heme of Ju ior Frolic. We even made a pleasure trip to the plantation of the uduy Nineties.n As yet, we haven't made many important flights. We made mostly short. jaunts, but after all, we are new on the field.

D Q FilGH'I ls NG . To start the winter offensive, Milford had a practice flight with some veterans of past years and cane out on the short end by 27-25, although they had a little more speed than the alumni. This was followed with a real fight which they won by using a lot of dive-bomber accuracy on shots. Milford came up on the short end of the next three encounters because of their lack of height and speed but got above Gilman and knocked them out by using P-40 swiftness and accuracy. Against a few odds they came out of the attack against Westville on the small end of 54-28. h , Milford again got an ideal be bing night and knocked Sheldon arou d to a score of 29-21. Milford ran into some faster crews and came out of the next four battles on the losing side. Milford won a close one with Paxton and then wiped Stockland out, but Gilman hit the propeller dead center and shattered our team for a loss of 38-25. ' f When it seemed as if Milford was on the losing side, we pulled out of-the dive and knocked Martinton out of the skies and came within 2 of beating Buckley. We then settled down, got some cooperation, and won the next five contests. Then on our last encounter of the winter offensive we lost to East Lyn-T11 Q The enemy took Milford by surprise and the first four encounters were lost due to heavy odds, but Milford came out with a win on the next encount- er as Muelder made a charge and downed sixteen for high score man. Due to poor lubrication, the score of the next fight was a little in favor of Westville, but Milford poured on a dive bomber attack and wiped out Sheldon. Caught by surprise again, but against very heavy odds, Milford lost the next four encounters. Milford took Paxton by force but it came near costing us another fight as the score was 52-31 in favor of Milford. Milford's closely coordinated cooperating and increasing deadliness picked off Stockland and completely wiped out Martinton, but one of those things occurred and Buckley beat us to the finish with a score of 30-28. Milford completely wiped out the enemy in the next five combats but on the final showdown lost to East Lynn by 9 points. ooo me:-1'fsNc.?23 SCHEDULE Milford 25 Alumni 27 Milford 52 Milford 34 Rantoul 29 Milford 45 Milford 51 Cissna Park 52 Milford 25 Milford 24 Watseka 50 Milford 59 Milford 26 Gibson City 55 Milford 28 Milford Q3 Gilman 22 Milford 32 Milford 28 Westville 34 Milford 59 Milford 29 Sheldon 21.

The Fresh en had previously bowed to.the mighty Junior team, while the Seniors won a hard-fought game from the Sophomores. The preliminaries had set the stage for the terrific battle which was to en- sue. The Seniors, undaunted by their opponent's power, sont Paul Schaumburg, Earl O'Neal, Bill Adsit, Jim Pruitt, and Harold Metz, all basket makers of reputed fame to grapple with the favored Junior team. Bob Carter, Kenneth Weber, Bob Hassclbring, Denny Allen, and Wes Mueldcr, were the starting five for the Juniors. The rivalry was intense so 'thc turbulent crowd enjoyed the closely fought game. The two teams played remarkably well with the score being close until the fourth quarter when shooting and floor play became more erratic. The Juniors surged ahead to a 46 to 53 victory. There were several boys who played as substitutes. They performed excellently and did much to determine the final margin of victory. For the Seniors, Merle LoSago and Lawrence Sullivan played commendably. Harry Weakley, Eldon Anderson, Jia Garner, and Marvin Natschke alternated with the Juniorfs starting five.

Jlf'v,t sfroumn cmv The Milford Township High School Future Farmers of America is a unit of the state and national organizations of F F A. Its members consist of high school boys enrolled, cr who have been enrolled in va course in Vocational Agriculture. ,The aims of the organization are set up in objectives implemented by a definite program of work planned by the executive commitee wqgn- sisting of Edwin Janssen, presidentg Norbert Wolf, vice-presidentg Merle Lelage, secretaryg Arthur Kellerhals, treasurerg and Wayne Rosen- berger, reporter. The selection of objectives was governed by the desire to improve school spirit, cooperation between members, other students, and fae- ulty, develop leadership, im rove scholarship, initiate activities to aid in the war effort, and to be of service in community activities. In spite of handicaps imposed by gas rationing restricting meet- ings, the program was carried through lOO per cent. The officers learned their parts in the .opening and closing ceremonies.. 'Roberts' rules of order were carefully applied in the conduct of meetings, and committees, both standing and temporary, were appointed and instructed as to duties. A scholarship chart was prepared and grades of members collected each two weeks. A two-day scrap drive terminated with approximately 15 tons of iron delivered. A turkey, goose, and duck drawing at Thanksgiving netted sufficient funds to buy two Q25 war bonds and as was donated to the local Red Cross. The MTHS Future Farmers have tried hard to be loyal and patri- otic to their school, their country, and to themselves and are proud of their record and accomplishments in 1942-43. . Our motto, the same that is used throughout the Unitgd Skaggs and its possessions by all recognized FFA chapters well reflects our spirit--- LEARNING TO DO DOING TO LEARN EARNING TO LIVE LIVING TO SJRVE o -ff: Fw- we fffdl' NW fvlxih ' N 4 .1 SJ, ' s.,J -fi Our Science Club is new three yewrs ali and ou: present cf.icers are Paul Schaumburg, president, Arthur Kellerhals, seerecaryg Jim rriitt, Vice- President. The aim of our club has been to develop an understanding and an appre- ciation of science. At our meetings we have enjoyed speeches and movies on current scientific topics. Science is today playing an important part in winning the war, and we feel that it will also be a deciding factor in pre- serving the peace. Science will be the new field of adventure and progress. It will keep on building new frontiers in industry, art, and education. Our school science club gives us a small glimpse of some of the scientific mar- vels to come. Our only trouble is that we do not have enough time to devote to our meetings. 'With this handicap we have tried to keep up interest in our meetings. However, the members are attentive and try to do all they can in the short time allowed them. Keeping this spirit in mind, we have had a very successful year as a Science Club. Next year, however, we want even a better one. is H sf XDFf'X INHVXIION 'N-Of' ...a J f e Y, The annual initiation was held at MTHS October 23, l943. As is the usual custom, the morning was marked with the arrival of students in various types of garments. Long and loud were the peals of laughter which greeted the arrival of new students and teachers of the school. A generous lunch for the upporclassmen had been provided. Soon after the lunch had been partakcn of, and the dishes disposed of,'dancing was enjoyed by the student body. At a specified time, those to be initiated were brought into the gym. They were seated on the floor. After the Student Council took charge, :tho members of the student body and the new teachers were duly initiated. ' The school song was sung and soon after outstanding members were given awards as a gift for their efforts. This group consisted of Ruth Breeding, Jim Reeves, and Wes Muolder. They received nBeareatu emblems of the school. e ness saftef,AN'rs,e The plane took off this year with'46 members aboard. The Commanding Of- ficer was Miss Mendenhall, while the pilot was Naomi Nielsen, co-pilot, Vivian Salmong radio operator, Mary Anderson. The broadcasting was officiated by Wilma Martin. On the way to our destination, four members parachuted away from the ship. One of the earliest airports we landed at was the initiation ceremony which gave us new members. After a delightful but wet evening, we took off again to run into some witches and goblins flying about. These caused another landing, the Hallcwe'en Party. During the homecoming the club prepared a nscrap floatn to show how to conduct a scrap drive. Early in the flight it was decided to have no meetings in the evenings to save gas and tires. Despite the difficulties we had to face, the Christmas party, uThe Port of Happy Children,H was one of the most pleasant days we had Our own Christmas gift exchange party was a gay but short affair as it took place in the plane, the Home Ec room. A group of more ambitious girls did some Christmas caroling while we waited for the weather to clear to take off again. After our short but delightful vacation, our trip was resumed. In Janu- ary we had several ports of interest that held our attention, but plans for a slumber party stole the beam. During the first week in February this occasion took place. For fun had by all, especially the ghosts that haunted the girls, this was our most pleasant junction. Plans were made for a weinic roast, but due to the war, these were thrown overboard as excess baggage. The Kothcr-Daughter Banquet was a splendid af- fair with ngcsturcs.H The happy landing to our year's journey was when we had our election of officers for the coming year at the last port. During November the club sold candy and had concessions. This netted us some very handy money. Some of the things our flight accomplished were the rcdecoration of the girls' lounge, dyeing and renodeling old clothes, sending gift paper to the boys at camp, and some ROd Cross sewing. , Through the skill and pre-flight training, we made a successful and happy trek under the guiding eye of our Commanding Officer, Miss Mendenhall. rnfrrfl N E.

N T COUNCIL A N NUM, STA FF v an --'C' WMV., 1 IS N EW E Ci One of the highest honors which can be won by any student is membership into the National Honor Society. So it is that we, as students of HTHS. look with pride upon that coveted honor. To be eligible for membership into tale most worthwhile organization, a student must rank in the upper one third of his class and have been outstanding in scholarship, leadership, character, ani service 0 The Milford Chapter, Number 2135, National Honor Society was organized in 1938 and its membership has steadily grown until we now have 59 members. The faculty and the Student-Council vote determines the membership of the society. Those who were elected into membership this year are: Class of l945f Edwin Janssen, Arthur Kellerhals, Marian Long, Isabel Molloy, and Gertrude Slater. Marian Holmes, Harriet Meyer, and Paul Schaumburg were elected into membership last yewr. Class of 1944: Joan Akerly, Waneta Callahan, Kathleen Gooding, Ruth Nowtson, and Darrell Piersol. The induction services were again held on Visitation Night. we hope next year to be able to expand the activities of the National Honor Society. FLIGHT ENGINEEIAS Lest freedom perish, the students of MTHS have selected a group of 12 members to serve the school as a Student Council. Each of the four classes elected one boy and one girl to serve on the council, while the president of each class automatically receives membership into the organization. Each year certain problems peculiar to our school are taken into con- sideration by our Student Council. We did all tho usual things, such as held student initiation, sponsored the Homecoming Parade and Dance, served as ushers at various school activities, sold popcorn, candy, and operated the coke machine . As in many other instances, the war effort hampered much of our activity. It has been impossible for us to secure the movies which we had hoped to show, simply because so many civic organizations have boon interested in having cor- tain activities for the armed forces. Wo have, however, been going along with the pictures which are available to us. In our group we have the following members: Paul Schaumburg C4 yoarsl, Prosidentg Mary Frame C4 yearslg Arthur Kollerhals C5 yoarslg Joan Akorly, Socretaryg Robert Carter, James Garner, Wayne Roscnbcrger, Juanita Mohler Q2 yoarslg Elwyn Crist, Lloyd Carter, Donna Clayton, and Elmer Allen. This group is to bo congratulated on its accomplishments this year and it is their hope that the work for next year may be planned before the completion of thin years term of school.

C Every well organized institution wishes to keep its product in the eyes of the public. Each organization develops advertising schemes and conducts publicity campaigns by radio and by press. Our school is a well organized institution, having as its chief product the educated youth of the Milford community. Their work is so efficiently done that our school need not advertise, neither does it need sponsored radio programs to prove its worth. Since democracy is based upon a well-informed public, the students of MTBE publish the Reveille News. This is made possible through the courtesy of the Milford Herald News. A full page of notes and news, collected by the staff members and approved by the sponsor, is printed each week.

The morning was marked by the: arrivil of students with brightly wrapped Christmas packages. Directly afterl lu gh individual class parties were held by the different classes for a period of forty-five minutes. After this, an all-school assembly was held in the gymv nasium. Christmas carols were sung and then tho gifts were distributed. The Student Council served refresh ents and then a Christmas dance was held to usher in the Christmas season. ENIOK PLAY SCENEKY JUNIOR PLAY CAST SENIOR PLAY CAST e 95 H OM .EC DM I N G Friday, October 2, marked one of the many interesting activities sponr sored by MTHS. The night before the big game, students and alumni rallied at the high school for an Hall out' pep session, spurring the boys to inevitable victoqm Next afternoon's festivities began with the annual parade, consisting of many colorful floats. Each class and organization entered into the competi- tion. The outcome was announced at the dance that night. The next event was the football game, sending Gilman home defeated 26 to 6. After the game many of the spectators attended the chili supper sponsored by the Junior Class. At the dance that evening, there was evidence of the World War II. Many of the alumni who always added to our dances were absent: some in the armed forces and some in war work. Although there wasnft such a large attendance, the merriment continued with the glee of all the students. The high light of the evening came in the latter part of the dance, when Ethel Schroeder was crowned Queen of Homecoming. Also, prizes for the floats were given, and it was a tie between the Junior fSlap a Japl, and the Senior fFighting on Both Frontal floats. Identical prizes were awarded to these classes. STH GRA DE VIS3TEi:. E .CMN On March 17, 54 students from neighboring schools and the Milford Grade School were guests of the MTHS Fres man Class members. The purpose of the day was to acquaint the visitors with our program of study and teacherp. The day started by having a freshman meeting in the gym with cup guests. Each member was assigned to an eighth grade student, who was asked to wear a card indicating his name and home school. During the day they were allowed to visit any classes they cared to. At noon the Hbme Ec Department, in charge of Miss Mendenhall, assisted by the Freshman Class, served a fine luncheon consisting of meat loaf, scalloped potatoes, perfection salad, het rolls, apple pudding, and cocoa. The afternoon was spent in games,' movies, class tournament games, closing with a dance. The high school uSwingstersn furnished the music for the dance. At four o'clock the busses provided transportation home for the visiting students. A very pleasant and profit- able day was spent by everyone. All agreed that this was one of the most successful visitation days we have had. we are looking forward to having this fine group of young people with us when school opens next fall. A P 'if' XX '2 r W - -r JI JL IELJ lllffxcrve Secret service agents seemed to be at work in full force in the Milford Community around the latter part of October. Vast maneuvers had been planned and on the evening of October 23, a long-awaited attack was delivered by tho home forces. At the zero hour, the Freshmen P-46's took charge and delivered a smash- ing blew with the title of nPush Button Program.u 'uFast and furiousv seemed to be their motto. No sooner had the audience begun to recover, than another squad in the form of Sophomore P-45's were over the territory. Nwhile Harlem had a Black- out, Mo had a Blonde Outn was a mild success but did not quite subdue the enem . - Next came the heavy bombers in the form of Senior P-43's and it was soon evident that this force was striking the final blow. The attack went eff as planned and nThe Spirit of '43n was soon being cheered by neutral citizens, namely, the audience. Victory had been achieved by the P-45's, but a nmoping upu force soon camo into action. The Junior Air Force received words of gratitude for the fine delivery of uTho Perfect Gontleman.n The crew of this magnificent squad consisted'of: Robert Ames . . . . Darrell Piersol Alicia Ames . . . . . Joan Akerly Margaret Ames . . . . . .Imogene Judd Mrs. Ames . . . . . Waneta Callahan Mr. Crawford. . . . . . . Wes Muelder Margaret Ames, in high school, has a crush on her chemistry teacher, Mr. Crawford, and invites him to dinner. She insisted on lowered shades and lighted candles--and tries to instruct her young brothcr,' Bob, in how to be a gentleman. Her sister, Alicia, comes home from college for the week-end and at once Alicia and Mr. Crawford are interested in each other. Margaret's fancy quickly changes from chemistry to English and then to Art. Bob tries to be on good behavior, but after upsetting olives all over the floor and ons tertaining Mr. Crawford with A1icia's baby book, he finds his efforts aren't appreciated. Mother can't get anyone to dinner after she has it ready, but Bob rounds them up in his own individual way and announces, nSeup's 0n.n ' f P--43 P+flA?NELifv'EK The characters in this delightful comedy are the same who figured in nGrowing Painsu which was so successful last year. In fact, the play is a sequel to this earlier play, continuing with the experiences of the Mclntyres, presenting the two youngsters, Terry and George, in their nlater adolescence.u The young daughter has her beaux in rapid succession, almost marrying the nwrong one,n until the kindly intervention of Mother and Dad,' together with the girl's own growing understanding, steers her over to the wright one.n The older brother, who is in love with an ideal conception of nthe sweet- est girl in the wcrld,n discovers that she is only hu an after all. For a time, he is completely disillusioned. Finally he realizes that he loves her anyhow, just as she is. And we see George growing up at last, and adjusting himself to some of the realities of life. Throughout the play Mother and Dad, now casually, now in great'concern, discuss their youngsters' problems. The play, enlivened by frequent bits of humor, is a genuine study of the Winter-reactionsn of parent and youngster during the tender, romantic, impulsive UYoung Apriln age.
