orchestra to have, just how to use our Class Colors, blue and white, to best advantage for decorating, and last but not least, what to wear. It was a gala affair, and the high spot of Junior year. Another school custom is for each class to put on an assembly program each year planned and performed by the talented members. Our contribution in our Junior year was an amateur show which provoked many laughs, and was fun to do. Our Senior assembly program was at Christmas time, a broadcast from Santa Claus’s Studio. I played Mrs. Santa Claus and it was my duty to sit at a table and at intervols stand and ring the bell. At the end of the program when I sat down the chair broke and so did the laughter in the audience. We do not like to boast but we feel that we have always been well represented in dramatics. Both as Juniors and Seniors we took part in the annual Dramatic Club plays. We look back with pride on Nick Addis playing the part of Don Cutter, a dashing young playwright, and Eddi Orzech as Danny Stiletto “wanted for murder,” in “One Mad Night.” Claude Decker as the captain with dignity, gold braid, and an accent; Jean Bostwick as “sweet little Buttercup;” Dorothy Bray as the “winsome daughter” of the captain; all did exceptionally well in the operetta “Pinafore.” Another school custom, in which it was our honor to take part, was the inaugurating of the school social. They are held once a month and are sponsored by the classes in rotation. A program including movies, relay races, games, dancing and refreshments is offered for the nominal entrance fee of ten cents. During this year we have been attempting to raise our bank balance to allow for a class trip after graduation. In October we sold Christmas cards and paper. In November we gave a food sale. Our prom came in February. The next big event was to be the Senior play, “The Irresistible Marmaduke” to be given in March. Unfortunately most of the class were far from irresistible with mumps during March, so the play was postponed until April. In sports all through the four years we have made a good showing. Emblems are awarded each year to the best all-around students in each class. Our emblem students have been Dorothy Bray, Joseph Yarachowicz, Cecelia Zaloski, Helen Michalek, John Wilson, Jerry Griffin, Angeline Pruchnik, and Priscilla Northrop. We are sorry to say that we have lost some members of our class. Some are attending private schools, and others have moved away. But we have had the pleasure of welcoming new members as: Ruth Parcells, in our Sophomore year; Louis Nemec and Ailyn Perkins in our Junior year; and Virginia Morin and Helen Schooner in our Senior year. We were deeply moved by the death of a classmate, Nancy Washkevis, on May 20, 1935. Thus, as we come to the end of our high school career, we look back upon four years of success in scholarship and in athletics, and of comradeship and fun in our social life. We wish to thank the townspeople, teachers, and fellow students who have made this possible. With sorrow we leave New Milford High, but we feel that we have well prepared for the next stage of our journv through life.

CLASS HISTORY By Bernice N. Hatch In the Fall of 1983 we met as a class. Looking back I see one hundred and three childish and bewildered Freshmen. We filled to overflowing our two home rooms, and were constantly confused about whether we belonged in Miss Myer's or Mr. Knox’s room. But after making all the errors which Freshmen usually make, we finally be ,an to get acquainted with our classmates and teachers and the building, all of which were strange to many of us. We learned very quickly that candy was sold on the first floor of recess by students for the benefit of the athletic association, and that our taste for ice cream or heartier food could be satisfied in the cafeteria downstairs. We began to like high school very much. Our first class meeting was delayed so that we might get acquainted before we chose our class officers and advisor. Our choice was: President, Joseph Yar-achowicz; Vice-President, Nick Addis; Secretary, Ethel Prince; Treasurer, Martina Hoag; and Adviser, Miss Campbell. Our selection for class officers for the other three years has been—Presidents: Joseph Yarochowicz, Nick Addis; Vice-Presidents: Ned Maxwell, Mary Wodjenski, Jerry Griffin; Secretaries, Jerry Griffin, Michael Pruchnik, and Mary Wodjenski; Treasurers: Martina Hoag and Claude Decker. During our Freshman year we had no large social event of our own. We learned that Freshmen are seen but not heard, theoretically. So we contented ourselves with attending games and cheering our elders, and looking with envy upon the poised upper classmen who appeared in assembly programs, and plays, and gaily enjoyed the dancing which followed the school events which were held in the evening. It is a school custom for Sophomores to celebrate what is known as Bow Day. Therefore we blossomed forth as Sophomores with enormous bows. Here both girls and boys vie with each other in color and size of bows and some of our smaller classmates adorned with wide hair ribbons or boy ties looked like Main Street School children visiting high school for the day. It was our uncertain honor, however, to be the first class to break the time-honored custom of the Sophomore-Senior Feed. This was a picnic held in May. All the food was supplied and the work done by the Sophomores. Often, we were told, that the Sophomores had politely to serve the Seniors until all the food was gone and it turned out to be anything but a Sophomore Feed. After counting the Seniors and counting ourselves, and then judging the Senior appetites by our own, we found that we were afraid to attack such a giant project. So much to the disappointment of the Seniors we had no feed. This year, however, we are sorry that we established that precedent. Our one great social event during the Junior year was on May 22nd, the Prom, another time-honored custom. We spent much time and thought on what
