I' si nh S - - - ..: Q In the fall of 1940 a group of fifty-three nstarry-eyedu freshmen--Shyly entered the doors of MTHS to start their four-year journey for a.highem asm better education. At first we were frightened Cas all freshmen arej but finally we became braver and braver. After our initiation we thought eur- selves really able to continue and be recognized by our upperolassmen. .One of our first tasks was to elect officers. After deep consideration to choose someone, we finally decided on the following! President ..... . . Darrell Piersol Vice-President ...... Robert Carter Secretary-Treasurer . . . Ruth Newtson Student Council 0 A 0 0 0 Waneta Callahan . . . . . Eugene Asbury Mr. Bishop and Mr. Tabor were our very capable advisers. When it came time for us to participate in the Junior Frolic, we entered it with a nMock Trial.n we received third for our stunt, but we felt as though we had gained experience and profited greatly by our mistakes, Our boys went out for sports and we were well represented in track, 'bas- ketball, and football. Our freshman year was a lot of fun and at the end of the year all of as were anticipating the next year at NEHS. As sophomores we entered school a little more bravely. Three newgatwe, dents joined us but three students left us so again we had a total of fiftym three. For our officers we chose: President . .... . . Robert Carter Vice-President ..... . Lucille Mohler Secretary-Treasurer . . . Ruth Newtson . Student Council . . . . Waneta Callahan . . . . Darrell Piersol Our advisers were Miss Ward and Mr. Funk. 4, U we entered the Junior Frolic with the stunt entitled, uwelre In lherd ly Now.u we felt as though our stunt were a good one, and it greatly deserved the second place we got. . f 4 be 1 rl q?fG3Tm'. 5 33' Ts r4k .P xx f . :ig nal? X' ?faA? Q' In sports we again furnished a lot of good material. we were very proud of some of our boys who were on the first teams of basketball and football. we had now been in high school two years and all of us hoped our next years would be as much fun as our first two. As we entered school our junior year, all of us felt as though we had a lot to look forward to. First of all we had five new members from'Woodland and two other new students from various schools. Our officers were picked first and they proved to be very efficient in their positions. They were: President . .... . . Robert Carter Vice-President. . . . . . Darrell Piersol Secretary-Treasurer . . . Waneta Callahan Student Council . . . . . Joan Akerly Jim Garner For our advisers we had three very capable teachers, Miss Dittlinger, Miss Riegle, and Miss bndenhall. Our first job was the annual Junior Chili Supper held after the Heme- ooming game. All of the class pitched in and helped and we cleared a nice profit for our Spring Prom and Banquet. The Junior Frolic was next on our list. What with tickets, stunts, cos- tumes, furniture, and our play, The Perfect Gentleman, it was quite a task but it proved to be a huge success. New for the most fun of all and that was the Prom. we chose as our theme WATEN Air Corps.n For many of us it was our first prom to attend and I'm sure everyone that did attend said that it was really a fun-filled evening. I must not forget our athletics for our junior year. In basketball as well as football we were well represented on the first teams. In the class tournaments the Jolly Juniors took first place in both boys' and girls' tournaments. After a very busy year--school was out. hny of us were sorry it was over because we had so unch fun--but then we were looking forward when we ceuld return as Sophisticated Seniors. Now we are seniors. We've had many wonderful times here at MEHS and we will take a lot of pleasant and happy memories with us. y Q 3- For our officers this year we chose: President ....... . Donald Breeding Vice-President ...... Darrell Piersol Secretary-Treasurer . . . Waneta Callahan Reporters ........ Geraldine Henry . . . . . . . Catherine Shoufler Student Council . . . . Robert Carter . .... Mary Anderson Miss Firchau, Miss Butscher, and Miss Schneider were our capable and efficient advisers. We entered the Junior Frolic with a clever stunt entitled Boogie or Bach. This year our efforts were justified and we received first. After the Junior Frolic came our play And Came the Spring. We had a fine cast of characters and a good director so therefore our play was enjoyed by the members of our community. Giving a play is fun, training, and work combined, so we felt as if we had learned and accomplished a great deal. For our motto to guide us we decided upon nHitch Your Wagon to,a Star.u Our flowers are violets and lilies of the valley and our colors are pastel green and white. Our senior year was the most exciting year of all. Almost every day something reminded us of Commencement. we received our pictures, name cards, and we had our Senior Play. After the Junior and Senior Prom oame,tQaxmost important week of all--Graduation Week. New we bid farewell to the juniorsf sophomores, freshmen, the teachers, and to dear old Milford High. :'5'fTlS' CS Z OLDEST Don Breeding Lulubelle Goudy YOUNGEST Marvin Natschke Annabelle Schroeder AVERAGE AGE: 18 years TALLEST Bob Carter Mary Anders on' SHORTEST Don Ervin Vivian Johnston AVERAGE GRADE: 84.9173 MEDIAN.GRADE: 84.9375 HIGHEST GRADE: 94.065 .L 'i LOWEST GRADE: 75.0625 ,a e..1:r MSN.

Dear Mr. President: The Class of '44 recently held its first reunion: remember that was the year you were in doubt of being reelected. I know you like to meet people of intelligence, and we are the class that has just thai. Take 'Darrell Piersol for instance, he is president of nGet You a Date Club.n Perhaps this doesn't sound important, but you don't know hOW'g19Qt a problem this is since World War II. His most freqae L client is Janfnnc Sivill. If you could see her, you would realize the great job confronting him, as she didn't have trouble before the war, Then there was a girl that came from Stockland. Her name is Wouneta Oak. She is an instructor at the University of Illinois, teaching the boys to walk like men when they grow'up--interesting work, don't you imagine? No doubt you have hoard of Jim Garner beforeg he is the one that invented invisible school books. Hildegard Benner had the life-long ambition to be a nurse. Ambition usually brings success as she is the head nurse at the Iroquois Hospital. She almost failed the course, however, when Professor Wbsle holder asked the question what was the greatest operation in the United States. She couldn't answer--the answer was Lansing, Michigan. Bob Carter, the glamour boy of the class, has a bus route between Nhlford and Hoopeston. Two of his steady customers are Boland Henke and brris Adams. I don't know the attraction, but it seems very magnetic. As usual, some people always get married. Arvella Windhorn married some Wolf, that is the last name of course. Catherine Shoufler had her future planned before graduation, but we rust have farmers and her husband, Henry Hartman is a very good one. I can't quite figure this out, but Don Ervin is a minister and his friend Don Evans is his assistant, but time brings changes. . , mmf' 'Il fm Gene fsbury has e swing band in New York. Perhaps you have heard him for he is very well known end can he swing itl His singer is the one and only Mary Jayne Collins. hckets were just discovered, I think, when we were Seniors, but Don Carlson has made a large fortune in raising them--a priceless insect, so they E611 IRC! we have a girl that is as good a manager as nElennorn was in her early years. Joan Akerly is the name and is in charge of en old meid's home. She seems ves5riessy'ras she has no man to tell her what to do. The Strong Company that is so large and well known is under the manage- ment of Harry Wcekloy. Kathleen Gooding is his secretary. Gerry Eenry is a florist at Marshall Fields in Chicago. Her old friend Dale Plummer naszzlerge account with her, for his hobby is to send flowers to the bealftifnl women, however, he makes plenty money in raising Air Dales. Writing always appealed to lulubellelgpudy and she has just completed her second novel titled, SOME GIRKS ARE JUST NATURALLY CATTY. Don Breeding has a farm in back of his home here in the village of Milford and' recently won grand champion on his prize cet. Another home town success is Ruth Newtsgn. She is commercial teacher at MTHS and has students that are typing faster than when she was in high school. Her best student is Lucille lMohlerj Stidham's daughter. Inheritance, evi- dentlyo There were several students who came from Woodland, a suburb of Milford, to enter our class when we were Juniors. Theresa Martin, Buethene Nhller, and Joanne ,Johnson have taken onthe difficult t7fs'k B'f EK':!1l!TJ.-Q 'E5 m'Z'E5 Weodlfnd as lively as Nilford. Frankly, I don't see how there could be unch differencaf Lorraine, Arleen, and Roma Hartman have formed a trio and travel all over the world singing. The biggest hit of the year is nThe Threq Little Bears. The pianist is Mary Andersen.- Eenneth Weber, the first to leave our class to enter the armed services, is now Afrflral in the Navy. He entered as Ensign because he just couldn't see the use of being an Apprentice. There is only one of the girls in the beauty operating business. She is Annabelle Schroeder and has a shop in Williamsville, Indians: it seems the name W:LlTiYixTE 5.Tways did appeal to her. Ns , I. Vivian Johnston, the shorty of the class, married the tallest man in the world: 55, too, has splendid personality. arvin Natschke lives at Crowville, rather corny business but he enjoys his wbff in assistng the office girls. Evelyn Kennedy is one of the steno- graphers. ' Rss America, the well known Helen - nch, also came from the Class of '44 She looks stunning in the new plastic Ba ing suits Imogene Judd was quietly married last fall to Ralph Green who has been in the o country on foreign duties. Rev. Eldon Anderson officiated and Betty Books was maid of honor. As for me, I am Joe's daughter, still backing the Democratic Party.

Through their help, we have come to our first big turning point in life. It has been through the guidance and assistance of our teachers that we have reached this, our last objective of our twelve year's training. Without ur capable teachers, we could not have attained the high standard of this graduating class. It is with deep appreciation and kind words that our thoughts will turn back to those teachers in years to come. All of this, we must remember, was made possible by our cooperative schoolboard. They have furnished this beautiful buildingg they have given us all the latest equipment with which to workg they have provided us excellent textbooksg and they have placed at our disposal an adequate library. Loyalty was shown us by our classmates who have striven to help one an- other in every way possible to enjoy our twelve short years of schooling to- gether. we wish also to give our thanks to our underclassmen for the loyalty which they have shown us in giving us their aid in our many activities. It has been through their support that we have been able to accomplish the many duties which we have been called upon to perform. last,, but not least, we wish to thank you, the public, for the loyalty you have shown our class and, of which, I assure you, we are very grateful. Through the loyalty of our parents, faculty, friends, board of education, and the Public. W0 hUV9 made UU? first successful stride in life. Now, it is for us to show our loyalty to our country and to the boys serving our nation to keep it what it has been and will always be--a land in which we have freedom of the people, by the people, and for the people. This year of all years every citizen must show loyalty to his country. To do this, we will respect all laws of our town, state, and country. we rust seek truth and wisdom. we nust work and achieve some good for civilization. He who obeys the law of loyalty obeys all other laws of a good American. Now, it is for the Class of 1944 to show their loyalty as is being shown by some of our classmates who are already in the service. Our thoughts are with them tonight, and we know they are thinking of us. Loyalty nust be shown to everyone as we climb the ladder of success. We, the Class of 1944, hope to prove worthy of the trust, faith, and loyalty that have been so unselfishly shown us by our parents, teachers, and friends.

I say regret--because upon becoming an adult wo are leaving a period of life to which in years to come we will often wish we could return. we cannot realize it now, but perhaps in future years, after we have experienced the life of an adult, only then shall we be able to comprehend what a privileged and favored group we are. Then, will we know that we didn't through our own initiative alone, but have our parents thank for their patient guidance and wise advice, achieve this terminus and our teachers to In fact, we owe a debt struggled to make this standing of this group of gratitude to all those great men and women who have moment possible for us.

The chosen leader of the constellation was the nNorth Star,n better known as sLloyd Carter. His assistant in guiding our class was Wsirusn or Don Fleming. As financier we chose nCanopusn-James Austin. Our two dippers were Donna Clayton and Elmer Allen, who served as Student Council members. Our astronomers were Mr. Carter and Mrs Rich. The Junior Frolic resulted proving our group of stars to be second brightestu On the morning of our initiation each star shone dimly, but by evening they twinkled brightly. As the astronomers gazed through their magic telescope they found many talented stars. This fact was well proved at the 'Gay Ninetiesn and the uPln American Revue.' As we reached our second year of star gazing we found that a few of our stars had fallen to earth. ,Again six leading stars were chosen. 'North Stern --Lloyd Carterg n8irus,n his assistant--Don Fleming: financier, 'Canopus'-- Paula Jean Lairdg the dippers, Elmer Allen and Phyllis Salmon. Miss Pearman and Mr. Legg became astronomers, Q Our constellation again shone next to the brightest in the Junior Fnoiic, we plan to go through the next two yggrs more swiftly, and we hope we will be considered an important constellation. ., 5 1' . saw.: iso:-' A f' G- We, the Freshmen of 1943, began our year forming o big dipper land a little dipper of forty-one stars. After three weeks of roaming in the skies we selected WDubben-ewhyne Stimpson, to form the bowl of the dipper, nMerekN--Tom Garner, his assistant, and the financier nMizar'--Helen Johnson, forming the handle. nPolestarn-- John Burt and 'Drocon--Barbara Crawford became the little dippar or Student Council members. nvenusn and nJupitor'--Mr. McCormick and M . Sherrmann as sponsors. This year a new type of initiation was tried. we prepared u program for the other stars which was sponsored by our three new planets, Miss Pearmsn, Mr. McCormick and Mr. Sherrmann. The program was very successful with all of the m mbers of the dippera taking part. Our first ride on the Milky Why took us in a woods for a wiener roast. Games were played and everyone had a swell time. n November 9, 1943 we took our second ride on the Elky Why and this time'we went to the Junior Frolie. The stars presented a stunt called MSuper Cown which won third place. L A- Riding the Milky Why is fun and we hope to be riding it for three more successful years. if di ix c 1 mi G .lf rd dx: +ws .

Here we displayed our talents before the judges, and for our efforts were awarded second place honors in number of points. Entries were made in all classes--Girl's and Boy's Glee Clubs, Mixed Chorus, and Girl's Sextet, ' The Soloists placed as follows: Darrell Piersol Middle Voice First Elwyn Crist High Voice First Other entries in the solo contest were Donna Clayton, Barbara Crawford, and Paula Jean Laird. On January 15, a combined concert, consisting of Milford and Roseville Bands, was given in Rossville for the opening of the Fourth War Loan Bord Drive. Each band played its own selections and then combined as a mass grovp to play the final numbers. The same concert was given at Milford on Januaxy 31. The annual Iroquois County Nhsic Festival was held in Wilford on April 17 under the direction of Mr. Monson of Chebanse. The program vis divided into selected vocal and instrumental groups in which Milford was well represented. The Band State District Contests were held in April, Two evolutionary changes have come to our attention this year in the form of uThe Swin sters,n an orchestra com osed of Senior bofs, and a Freshmen 5 P 5 Auxiliary Chorus. The Swingsters, new ,having progressed to the place where they really ngive out,u have supplied m sic for numerous dances given for the young people of the com unity, and have also acquired recognition in neighboring towns. The purpose of the Auxiliary Chorus is to prepare singers for the Nhxed Chorus, as well as to act as a reserve for last minute absences. Freshmen enrolled in this type of chorus work are: Emeline Allen Genieco Mann Lloyd Allen Betty Morgan Sydney Anderson Adeline Neilson Shirley Cook Fern Shoufler Alice Limauge Mildred Stebbins Vivian McKay Beverly Wilkin Rosalie McKinley Oloda Williams Although confronted with transportation difficulties, which might have curtailed our activities, the gods being with us, in the form of kind parents and friends, assured us of a most successful year.

With Louis Sherrmann and Lewis Legg as their guiding lights, the boys worked hard and long in the early weeks of practice and conditioning. Working out a new fornmtion and filling their pockets with trick plays, the Bearcats were 'ready to initiate their '43 season. The Bearcats tested their brilliance with Paxton in thai: first encounter and foznd it a little lacking. Having learned their lessor well, the boys came back to win over Rantoul, Gilman, and Mbmcnce. Once again the Milford eleven was nosed outg this time by the powerful Gibson City squad. Resontment in their hearts, the Cats romped Catlin and tied Ridgefarm in preparing for the final battle. This final battle was the annual Armistice Day game with Watseka. With the Hampton Trophy at stake and with a brisk, cold wind to their backs, the fighting Cats took to the field. Early in the second quarter the home team scored and continued to hold that margin throughout the game until Watseka was able to tie the score and end a thrilling game. And so ended a successful season of football at MTH with the Hampton Trophy remaining at Milford while Whtseka took all League honors. The '45 football squad of MTHS has a service flag. Denny Allen, now in the service of his country, was a fine athlete at MTHS and probably could have changed the following scores if he could have fought with his fellow class- mates on the gridiron instead of on the battlefield.

Sherrmann shaped up a system of three stirs of last year's team and a couple of ensuing comets who showed promis oi sLLll9ml basket-ballogy. Averaging a little over five and one half feet, Coach Sherwmann was depeniing cn the swiftness and ac- curacy of his boys to make up for the dwindling height. The Bearcats proved their coaeh's ingenuity in their first game with a victory at the Jost of Rantoul. Then coming home for their only horw game in Dectmber, they dropped befcre the Cissna five. With lady luck on the wycrg side, they dropped two more- to Watseka and Gibson City--before defeating Gil- mfn ly a large seorc. At a teuzninnnt held at Wellington with Milford. StOFklQhl, and Dissna Far? wc guests, the Miliord squad was again beaten out by the strong Cissna Jivoe Tien invading the Sheldon domain, they were again earned biek with a uerrvn defeat. Wndaunted by their defects,the Milford boys handed Fasten: another crushw ing oe?eat but were severed again by the Watseka team. By now the Bearcats had learned their lesson well and with half a sea- son-s experience behind them, they started a winning streak with victories over Paxton, Stockland, and Buckley, only to be broken by Gilman on an off 0 Entering the 19th Annual County Tournament with over confidence, the Bearcats were eliminated by the scrappy Wellington five. Journeying to Danville, the Bearcats gave the city folks a big scare. Fighting all the way, the Cats led the city sliokers the third quarter when superior height got the better of them and Danville won by a small lead. With revenge in their hearts, the Milford boys went to Cissna where they started their winning streak that was to and the season. They were victorious over Cissna, Paxton, Wellington, Sheldon, and Gibson City. The Milford Bearcats were hosts to the 1944 Regional Tournament play with eight of the best teams participating. The pairings brought Whtseka against Hoopeston, Cissna Park against Bismark, Rankin against Armstrong, and Milford against the District winner, Pct mao. With Watseka and Cissna winning the first night and Milford and Rankin the second night, brought the tournament into the semi-finals. Here Watseka was upset by Cissna and Milford nosed out Rankin.

Through the early weeks of training and conditioning, they gathered brilliance with speed and distance. So it was that they outshone 'latseka in their first meet. Finishing first in eight events, and with many seconds and thirds, out-pointed the Wntseka squad thirty-six to twenty-six. Gaining momentum and brilliance, -the Bearcats shot over to Onarga to compete with Gilman and Onarga. Here they gathered forty- seven points, with four firsts and five seconds, placing second in the final tally. . Retarded but a little in their previous loss, the Bearcats shot into the Whusdca League Meet at Rantoul on the night of April 28. With keen eompet!tion,the Milford squad was able to gather seventeen points, taking fourth in the final count. They ade a desperate stand with four seconds and three thirds, but were unable te claim any first medals. Glowing brightly with experience from their previous meets, Milford was a victorious host tc a tri-school meet including Cissna Park and Stockland. Taking eight blue ribbons and many seconds and thirds, the Milford squad stood far ahead of either competitor. Enlightened with victory, the Bearcats shot into the r last nest of the season. This year the Thirty-Ninth Annual Cla ' Track Meet was held at Onarga, Nay 22, with most schools participating. Milford placed in D11 but three events with a total of twenty-three points and a fourth place, being edged out of third by a small mar- gin. Paul Schaumburg set a new record for the 440-yard dash with,a 55.3 seconds, winning the M lford only first medal. The track season ended with a banquet for the lettermen who were Denny Allen, Paul Schaumburg, Norbert Wolf, and Wes lhelder. Norbert Wolf was elected captain and most valuable player. 1 6 f'TlVlTl.,. Ni-J '-sm - 34, 7- 4 n ,, I i . af 'W .. , '5 4 I ' f ..-.:. . . - It .ff '- .QE-79 f'1..-:j . ' . ' 1 .

The purpose of the Club is to make the girls into good cooks and housewives. The members of the Home Ee Club gain their experience by cooking banquet dinners for other organizations and by preparing meals for the Club parties. During the first of the year, all new members were initiated at the An- nual Slumber Party. As the month of October approached, the Home Ee Club and ,FEA met and decided to have their Hal1owe'en Party together. Everyone were costumes in keeping with the theme and it was very successful. I The next important event was in December. This was Farm and Home Night-- a pie supper sponsored by the FRA and Home Ee Club. The Home Ee girls went oaroling on Christmas Eve. They sang songs of cheer to the people and they were welcomed everywhere. ' Toward the last of the year each Home Ee Club member invited her Mother to the Mother and Daughter Banquet which wus prepared by the girls themselves. In November Miss Mendenhall decided to leave--for homemaking duties. Then Miss Rainey, who is from Marion, Illinois, consented to become our in- structor for the rest of the school term. The officers of the Home Ee Club are Mary Anderson, Presidentg Joanne Johnson, Vice-President: Marjorie Zimmerman, Secretary-Trensurerg and Roma Hartman, Reporter. 4,54 5TUoElN'f Cautious. i. ' . .- ,- In order that the student body of MTBE night have a voice in the activi- ties of the school, the Student Council was organized. membership in this organization is secured through elections held within the. four classes. The president of each class is automatically o member of the Council and from the remaining group one boy and one girl member is elected by each elass. In this manner, we have twelve members. Unless one is willing to work and to serve, ofttimes without praise or recognition, membership on the Council il boredom, bht fer those of us who are willing to serve, it has become a source of plea- sure. As in previous years, we sponsored the Assembly Movie Programs--one full- length movie each month. we chose the second Thursday of each month for the nshow date.n This year our picture selections were made, not only for enter- tainment purposes, but also for the educational value which we might derive. nwells Fargo,W nUnion Pacific,n and nThe Light That Failedn were unusually fine films and the Council was highly complimented for having those films cn the list to be shown. Besides the movies, we helped to defray the costs of other assembly programs, such as Otto Schacht, the teacher, singer, and lec- turer. we served in our usual capacityg namely, as ushers, ticket takers, pop corn sellers, and coke venders at the basketball games. we are looking forward with a great deal of enthusiasm to our annual Council Party to be held during the middle of April. This is our reward for the year's service. Those who will receive pins on Visitation Night for the work done on the Student Council this year are: Robert Carter, President Mary Anderson, Secretary Wayne Rosenberger Juanita Mohler Elwyn Crist Lloyd Carter, Vice-President Phyllis Salmon Elmer Allen - Dale Keen Barbara Crawford Wayne Stimpson Miss Firchau, Sponsor NA'TfL HONQIQ SOCLCT Y ST UUE N T COUNCJ L ANNUAL STA FF NLZWS ST A FF 'of' Hao 0 i .Wa .WL 6 1 ,F k V. .fnl-L+' iq' '- .ras I .

' ' 4 1 There are those among our group who have made outstanding records of achievements and it is to these people that the Faculty and the Student Coun- cil pay honor when membership to the Milford Chapter of the National Honor Society is elected. Membership is limited to fifteen per cent of the class, but one must be in the upper third of the class to be eligible. Each year the membership is increased by selecting from among the second-semester Juniors and the Seniors the people who have been outstanding in the four phases of high school life: scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Member- ship in this most worthwhile organization is one of the highest honors which can be received by any high school student. The one great activity of the school year besides, of course, the impres- sive induction services on School Visitation, was the dedication of the MTHS Honor Roll Board. The National Honor Society sponsored the event and with the assistance of the Junior and Senior classes was able to successfully present to the school the beautiful walnut honor board. we are justly proud of the project and we hope that it will lead-others in the way to membership into.the M lford Chapter in future years.

Through speech contests, high school students develop commendable abilities. Speech students develop an initi- ative and a resourcefulness that enables them to organize their thinking. They gain new ideas, new inspirations, and a better appreciation of poetry and prose of high literary quality. By seeing and hearing others perform, and by listening to a critique following the performance, students acquire a sound basis for intelligent self-criticism. Speech contests develop qualities of leadership, as well as to definitely provide a means of increasing the stu- dent's speaking ability. At the time of our Local Speech Contest, February 28, we had twenty entries, as follows: Verse--Joan Akorly, Paula Jean Laird, Oratorical Oration --Dolores Cook, Darrell Piersol, Dale Plummerg Original Oration--Gerry Henry, Serious Reading--Donna Wray Breeding, Waneta Callahan, Donna Gooding, Paula Jean Laird, Thelma Lucht, Martha Schroeder, Norma Shouflerg Comedy Reading-- Joan Akerly, Gerry Bailey, Betty Morgan, Juanita Nielsen, Loisjean Sarjent, Mhrtha Schroederg Extempore--Darrell Piersol. As a result of this Local Contest, Joan Akerly won in Verse Speaking, Darrell Piersol in Oratorioal Oration, Gerry Henry in Original Oration, Waneta Callahan in Serious Reading, Joan Akerly in Comedy Reading, and Darrell Piorsol in Extempore. The second contest was the Iroquois County Contest held at Gilman, March 6.' Milford Speech students carried away the large Iroquois County Speech Ban- ner. The first place winners were as follows: Joan Akerly, Verse Speaking, Waneta Callahan, Serious Readingg Joan Akorly, Comedy Reading: Gerry Henry, Original Orationg Darrell Piersol, Oratorical Declamation. Darrell placed third in Extempore. The third contest was the Sectional Speech Contest at Gilman, March 25, Our Speech students again went through this contest with nflying colorseu WB won another large speech banner. This contest really meant a great deal more to the Speech Team because we were striving to win Class A awards, as well as to win the honor of going on to the State Final Speech Tournament held at the University of Illinois, April 14-15. As a result of our hard work and of our determination, we had more success in the Sectional Meet than in the County Speech Contest. The first place winners in the Sectional were as follows: Waneta Callahan, Serious Readingg Joan Akerly, Comedy Reading: Gerry Henry, Original Orationg Darrell Piersol, Oratorical Declamationg and Darrell PiersdL Extempore. Joan Akerly placed second in Verse Speaking. At the present time, the NEHS Speech Team for the State Finals is working very diligently. The four from MTHS winning the honor of representing the Sectional are as follows: Serious Reading, Waneta Callahang Comedy Reading, JOSH Akeflyi Original Ovation, Gerry Henry: Extemporo, Darrell Piersol. 5 l 5 0 ' .,, sq 557, v, 'g la it ' .

All of the star men who had cone tributed in any way toward the factory were guests of honor. A very enjoyable meal was served to them by the Home Economics Department. After the banquet, a program was presented consisting of talks given by several men. At the con- clusion, all went home well pleased by the events of the evening. After nuch deliberation on the part of the Stars, Milford was chosen as the site of their annual MTHS reunion on October 15. The stage was set for an eclipse. As the Gibson Sons glared, they encountered difficulty and Milford was forced to set. After weathering the heat of the day, the Stars needed something to rally them so the Juniors of MTHS gave them nourishment in the form of chili. The earth wanted to reflect the glory of the Stars so the Stars and Qtar- ettos sponsored a dance that night. During the festivities, Nhrjorie Zimmer- man-was crowned Star of the Ball. She was made more radiont through the ef- forts of Ruth-Newtson, Hildegard Benner, Donna Gooding, Martha Schroeder Phyllis Salmon, Joan Smith, and Helen Johnson. .

It was composed of an act of the four Star classes, Fresnmen, Sophomore, JdHi0P. and SGHi0r. Rhch time was spent on organizing tkeiz ents and after their revue to the public, the Seniors were chosen the brightest star of ell. A great rejoicing went on among the stars of the Senior Class when the award was given to them.

On December 13 a Farm and Home Night was held here at old MTHS. Pies were auctioned off to the highest bidder. The men who get the pies then got to eat them with the goddesses who baked them. A turkey, duck, and goosevnre given away also. Names were drawn to determine who would get them. A fine time was had by all who attended the event. . On December 20 the stars of the MTHS band presented a Christmas Band Revue for the universe to witness. It was an exceptionally good prevue with Christmas as its theme, end was thoroughly enjoyed and very well attended. In April 17 the annual Music Festival was held. Apollo was the leader of the groups. As he raised his baton to give them their signal to start, eyes came alert and they prepared to burst forth in song. Each of the stars that sang, little or big, had a fine voice for singing and harmonized very well together. Perhaps the bigdest event of the year came when tho Junior and Senior Prom was held on April 28, 1944. The stars and their staretto guests, or vice versa, looked very nice in their formal clothes. The 'theme of the prom was nDown South American Whyn and the gymnasium was decorated in keeping with the theme and was very lovely. A short program was given at the beginning of the evening, and then everyone enjoyed the dance music furnished by Mr. Falotti and his orchestra from Coal City. The evening drew to a close with the grand march in uhich everyone participated, the starettes and stars and their guests as well as the school faculty and their guests.
