This was the thought of everyone as we entered our homeroom on September 12, 1951. During our Freshman year our class increased from twenty-eight to the grand total of thirty-four. Since we were just getting accustomed to the high school activities, not many entered into them; however, our boys formed a basketball team that won the intramural championship all the way through school. Lina Clifton made the basketball team and Jim Gregory played first string football, as well as baseball. 1952- 1953 Our activities during the second year in high school were more numerous and varied. Mrs. Chambers became our homeroom teacher and class advisor. Under her direction we held a Sophomore Hop on November 14, and in May we terminated our year’s activities with a hay- ride, beach party at Prime Hook. During the course of the year, everyone belonged to at least one organization in the school, and by the end of the year, we were already looking forward to the prom which we would give the seniors the coming year. 1953- 1954 Prom time was the main topic of discussion in homeroom period during our Junior year. Our first problem was to make more money so that we could present an outstanding prom. This was accomplished by having a bake, a movie, and a play. The movie “Easy to Love,” was held at the Milton Theater through the courtesy of Mr. E. M. Scott. Our Junior play, “Boys About Bobbette,” was the first Junior play to be presented in Milton High School. Finally, after many weeks of preparation. May twenty-eighth came. The auditorium doors were unlocked for the school and the public to see “Davy Jones Locker,’ which was the theme of our prom. The class of this year brought new and numerous problems to prepare ourselves to face our final and most important year of high school. 1954- 1955 Senior year in high school is very exciting as we were soon to find out. Just after school started we began practicing for our play “Papa was a Preacher.’ At the same time we de- cided to have a year book and commenced to work on it. We presented a movie “Her Twelve Men” on November 14 and 15. When we went back to school after the Christmas vacation, we were looking forward to our Senior trip, which would take place sometime in April. As the end of our high school days grew closer, we faced our biggest problem of all. What should we do when we get out of school?

During the first semester the class sponsored several activities, such as bake sales and football dances. The main event of the class thus far has been the semi-formal Christmas dance, featuring a dance band and the crowning of a king and queen of the Christ- mas season. As the second semester drifted by, the class awaited the Junior Play, ROOM FOR ONE MORE, given on March 25, and the Junior-Senior Prom, on May 20. Several members of the class have been active this year in activities such as bas- ketball, baseball, chorus, and band. The eleventh grade is also represented in THE CLIPPER, Red Cross, and Student Council.

The Milton Warriors held their first practice September 8, with a squad of 24 boys reporting to coaches Guest and Chambers. Working from a single wing formation, the Warriors opened against Bridgeville on October 9. Due to lack of weight and experienced personnel, Milton lost a hard fought game 19-0. The injury of halfback Howell in that contest was the first of a series that plagued the team throughout the season. The following week they traveled to J. M. Clayton, where they bowed to the opponent 14-0. When fullback Wilkinson suffered a broken ankle in the opening minutes of the game, they were handicapped tremendously. The injury riddled Warriors droppedgames of 38-26 and 34-12 for the next two successive weeks to hard driving and seasoned teams from Delmar and Lewes. After the Lewes game, it was deemed advisable to discontinue the schedule. Since the squad was so depleted from injuries, it would have been necessary to use boys with- out sufficient experience and weight to engage in varsity competition. Although the season was a disaster from a won-lost standpoint, Milton fielded several players of all-star calibre. The drive of Wilkinson and the defensive play of Gregory and Fisher would have won them a berth on any team in the area. An outstanding job was done by Reed and Davidson in opening holes in the opponents’ line. The ability of Figgs and Mitchell to work in any backfield position kept them going during their darkest moments. Underclassmen, who showed exceptional ability, were Siebert at end and Reynolds at center. Others doing a fine job were Smith, Donovan R Millman, Warrington, Ward and Banning. One of the high lights of the season was the uncovering of Gene Millman, a Fresh- man, who shows great promise as an outstanding passer. COACH: Edgar P. Guest CAPTAIN: Russell Gregory. The Milton Warriors, under the tutelage of Coach Edgar P. Guest, have had a reasonably successful basketball season even though it was not a winning one. The Maroon and Gold have compiled a record of five wins and ten losses with two games yet to be played. WARRIORS FIRST ROW: Robert Chandler, William Wagamon, Jack Jeffer- son, Richard Howell, Ronald Mitchell, Clayton Moore. SECOND ROW: Manager, Kenneth Meredith; Joseph Walls, Richard Mill- man, Gerald Reynolds, George Davidson, Fred Reed. Glancing over the victories and defeats by Milton this year, we saw the Warriors inaugurating the 1955 season against Felton High School at Felton. Although the Milton five were behind, 21-15 at the half, they rallied the second half and came out on top, 48-42. Reed was the big gun for Milton dropping in 24 points. Fine board work by Gregory helped in stopping Felton. The next contest was against one of the strongest teams in the state, Rehoboth. The Warriors were subdued, however, by a score of 25-50. Milon fought all the way and should be congratulated even though they lost. With one win and one defeat the Milton quintet journeyed to Ocean View and topped Lord Baltimore in a thrilling game, 40-37. Reynolds led the scoring with 11 points. Milton, determined to stay in the win column, traveled to Harrington and defeated them, 66-61. Reynolds and Jefferson led Milton’s attack with 27 and 13 points, respectively. Two defeats at the hands of Greenwood, 60-31, and Georgetown, 57-45, halted Milton's winning streak. Milton’s fourth win was at the expense of J. M. Clayton in a close game. Gregory and Reynolds combined their talents and compiled 24 points in this battle. The fourth, fifth, and sixth losses were to J. M. C., 41-32, Millsboro, 60-47, and Felton 49-43. Playing on its own court the Warriors defeated Harrington 35-32. Reynolds and Gregory again supplied the scoring punch needed to win. After this victory Milton suffered four straight defeats at the hands of Selbyville, Millsboro, Bridgeville, and Greenwood. The Greenwood game played at Milton was a thriller although Milton dropped this one 34-32 in the last 10 seconds of the game. Next year’s squad will lose the services of Gregory, Reed, Walls and Davidson. Walls and Davidson did a good job defensively and will be missed. To date Reynolds has amassed a record of 183 points. Gregory is second with 114 while in third place is Reed with 106 points to his credit. In fourth and fifth places are Jefferson with 75 and Walls with 64 points. Coach Guest has labored many hours in order to mold a smooth and accurate team, and he predicts that next year’steam will do as well, if not better, than his present squad.

ABSENT: Janet Hastings. — COACH: Wilma Chambers The Milton Warriorettes held their first practice early in December, with twenty- one girls reporting to Coach Wilma Chambers. A lot of early season practice sessions were devoted to fundamental drills, necessary in filling vacancies created by heavy graduation losses last year. Although the girls record to date is six wins to ten defeats, they have shown much improvement throughout the season. Against their more recent opponents, they were in serious contention each time. This year’s offensive attack was led by Captain Lina Clifton. She amassed 406 points in fourteen games for an average of 29 points per game. Lina, a good all-around player, is leaving Milton High with a record that will be hard to break. Good ball handling developed, after Sopho- more forwards Moore, Peterson, and D. Clifton gained experience. Guards Betts, Millman War- rington, and Harris played excellent ball. They were sometimes handicapped by their lack of height. Marianne Warrington is the only graduating guard and Lina Clifton the only senior forward.

It seems but a few days since we entered Milton High School; and now it is almost time for us to go out into the big unknown world. Before we leave let us pause to review some of our student activities of the past year. Our first activity was the Halloween party for the seventh and eighth grades. The boys and girls came dressed in their fantastic dress. George Davidson, our president, had the young peoples parade around the school auditorium so the judges could see each costume plainly. Prizes were given for the prettiest, the funniest, and the most original costumes. Then games planned by George David- son, James Gregory, Jack Jefferson, and Gerald Reynolds were played. Some of the games were rather strenuous, but a fine time was had by the participants. Last but not least, refreshments were served by the homeroom mothers in the cafeteria. Two nights later another party was held for the senior high school students. The first part of the evening was spent playing games. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria after which a treasure hunt was held. The weather was so cold and the night so dark that it was almost impossible to find all the treasures. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing. To bring the Christmas cheer into our school Theodore Jones, James Gre- gory, and Truitt Jefferson brought in a big Christmas tree for all of us to decorate. Some of the students brought lights, others brought balls, tinsel, and snow. Our lighted tree was very beautiful and was admired by all. On the afternoon of December twenty-third, all the boys and girls of Milton High gathered around the tree singing the famous old carols and wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Heim Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was formed in 1930 and chartered in 1931 with 16 members. From that time to the present it has been an active and productive organization of boys interested in agriculture. The chapter was named in honor of R. W. Heim, who at that time was State Super- visor of Vocational Agriculture and who is at present State Supervisor of all Vocational Education in the State of Delaware. The moving force in organizing was T. Ralph Snow- berger, the Vocational Agriculture Teacher. The boys were the builders of one of the finest Vocational agriculture buildings in the State of Delaware. This was started in March of 1954 and completed June of 1954 under the direction of John M. Curtis, Agriculture teacher and H. O. Brittingham, In- dustrial Arts teacher. The new building stands at the north end of the High School and is open for inspection at any time. Some of the activities planned for this year are trips to Harrisburg Farm Show and to places of agricultural interest nearby; membership in a 6 team F. F. A. basketball league, banquet, participation in state judging contests and the Kent-Sussex Fair. F.H.A.

The Milton Chapter of Future Homemakers of America was started in December of 1949 with twenty-one members. The work of organization was finally completed and our charter was received from the national organization in April of 1950. Since that time, we have taken part in many activities for the state and local chapters. Some of these have been for the purpose of raising money. Some have been just for fun, but all have been for a bigger and better F.H.A. They included bakes, suppers, dances, hot-dog roasts, and basketball games with other F.H.A. groups. By the middle of the school term last year, we had finally saved enough money to take our first trip. Twenty-seven of us spent two wonderful days at Hershey Amusement Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania. We were accompanied by Mr. Blevins, Mrs. Reed, and Mrs. Charles Stuchlik. During the summer, two of our members, Lina Clifton and Gladys Jefferson had the good fortune of attending the North Atlantic Regional Conference in Durham, New Hampshire. This year’s initiation was held at the school November eighth and increased our member- ship to forty-nine.

The Milton Chapter of the American Junior Red Cross got off to a good start with six of its former members attending the training camp. Mary Wyatt, Lorraine Murphy, Joyce Foskey, William Porter, Joseph Jefferson, and Ralph Hefferson, accompanied by their sponsor Mrs. Layton Reed went to Camp Tochwogh, Still Pond, Maryland on October second and third. The purpose of the camp was to make plans for the year, train workers, and make new friends. November first through fifteenth was set aside for the annual roll-call. This resulted in collections from Milton Consolidated School. Plans for the year include making tray favors for Christmas and Easter, to be used in Hospitals or other institutions served by the Red Cross; and filling Christmas gift boxes to be sent to boys and girls of other lands. We are also planning to make a “Friendship Album” to be sent to some foreign country. We hope the boys and girls who .receive it will send us one in return.
