Nkw Milford High School 26 Lawler, Katharine Castle, Betty Peck, Marguerite Peterson received emblems for two years. Irving Sussman, Barbara Stevens, Robert Peck, Genevieve Halpine, Alice Johnson and Louise Camp have the honor of receiving emblems for one year. And now, the school days that once seemed so long, have come to a close and as we realize how much our four years in the New Milford High School has done for us we are grateful to Mr. Pettibone and the faculty. Under their guidance we have learned to plan and carry out important undertakings, we know how to cooperate, and we are prepared to face the future with confidence of success.

Class of 1934 25 ever, after it was over we knew our time had been wisely spent, for the Prom was big success. Our Junior year came to a close much too quickly and awaited our Senior year when we would graduate. As Seniors we watched the poor little timid Freshmen entering the building and our thoughts quickly went back four years to the days when we were starting our high school life. We knew how they felt and how nervous they were, but did not act accordingly. This year has been full of important events and it has gone all too quickly. As money was needed for our trip at the end of the year, we held a Senior dance and several food and rummage ales which helped us out financially. We made plans for the year book, for which we all had our pictures taken, and had to work hard to get advertisements to pay for it. Next came the big event, the Senior Play. Many of you that were there know how well it came out and how successful we were. Then plans for graduation and class night had to be made. In due time, the Sophomores were preparing for our Senior Feed. 1 don’t think the Sophomores had too much left after we were through, for we acted the way the Scniois did at ours. I have mentioned our class elections before. Rollin Marsh, Granville Burton and Robert Peck have been our presidents. The heavy burden of Senior affairs has fallen on Robert Peck and everyone knows how well he has led us, and how successful he has been. He worked on our money-making campaigns which will go a long way toward paying for our Senior trip. Irving Sussman and Doris Sanford have been our vice-presidents, while 1 homas l.eahey, Betty Peck, Katharine Castle and Irving Sussman have been our secretaries. Our treasurers were Alvin Brown, Alice Johnson and Barbara Stevens. Barbara has had the hardest job collecting dues. I am sure all of our classmates will remember how she kept after us until the last cent was in. Our class has always been prominent in athletics. Harriett Straub, Barbara Stevens, Genevieve Halpine and myself have kept our girls’ basketball team among the winners. Katharine Castle and myself have helped the girls’ tennis team to be victorious. Our boys’ basketball team would have been lost without Thomas Leahey, Harold Straub and Elliott Kuhne on the team. In baseball these three boys with Arvid Alfredson, and Alvin Brown have kept our team near the top. Edwin Pomeroy and Raymond Brown have been our leading tennis players. Just as the school gives letters for baseball and basketball it also awards emblems for leadership in school affairs and especially in scholarship. Doris Sanford is the only one who received an emblem every year. Rollin Marsh, Dorothy Russell and myself have received them for three years, while Raymond Brown, Harriet
