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

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.

C. 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.
