We sincerely hope that this will show, in some small way, the great love and respect we have for her, for, she has taught us more than music, through playing our solos, we learned self-confidence, from reporting our practice hours, we learned the value of honesty, and through her policy of student government, we learned self-discipline. As a tribute to her, we dedicate not only this book, but our future efforts as useful citizens of our community. PAGE FIVE

This is your yearbook, a book of memories of your lite at Milton Union High School from September, 1952, to June, 1953. ln this annual, you will find things to think about and talk about, and remember. For those of you who are underclassmen, there will be more memories to gather, and more events to come. But, you who are Seniors will prize your 1953 BLACKHAWK most, for in it are memories of your last year at Milton Union.

BOARD OF EDUCATION For the first time, the board of education was in- creased from three to five members last year at the an- nual school meeting. The past year the board has been busy completing plans for the new gymnasium. After many public discussions, sponsored by the board and the P. T, A., led by A. P. Loomer, president, the pro- iect was officially approved at the school meeting in July, l952. A bond issue of 52l0,000 was authorized. Supt. Charles H. Dorr The contract for the remodelling of the old main room into a study hall, band room, and two classrooms was completed after school started in the fall. A new science room was furnished with modern equipment. Adequate lockers were installed in new areas. An in- tercommunication system was installed. The remain- ing interior changes will be done when the facilities in the new gym are finished. lt was hoped that we might have a new manual arts room also, but the additional cost prohibited it for the present. The board hopes in the near future to pro- vide kitchen facilities, for public use as well as for a hot lunch program. There is need for the appropria- tion of more funds to take care of seating, lockers, and equipment in the new gym. When comparing with oth- er communities of our size, we expect our gym to be as fine as any in the surrounding territory, and one of which our student body and taxpayers will be iustly proud. We wish to pay our respects to the late William Trescher, who, as a member of the board, saw the need for additional facilities and worked hard for their realization. PAGE SIX
