"We have there- fore enjoyed some very successful years from 1914 up to the present year." J Saturday night the Preferred Tiger was chosen at Milford High School. I did some research with the help of our Milford alumni and came up with this list, also we found out when they first started choosing the Preferred Tiger and Homecoming Queen. Homecoming started In 1956 and the first Home-cor- n Ing Queen was picked and also first Preferred Tiger. At that time the Preferred Tiger could be a Sophomore, Junior or Senior. It changed in the sixties to be just a senior. Here Is the list of past Preferred Tigers and Homecoming Queens for each year beginning with 1956 to 1986, this makes it a 30 Walker-Wa- de year tradition. 1956-kar1 957 -- Ethel Cook -Meadows, Gayle Anderson, 1958 Colleen le Hutchings-Way- ne Hardy, Ferguson Wayne Hardy, 1960- -Judy Horton -- Donald Munk, 1961- - Laurel Young-MitcBaxter, 1962 Connie Marshall-Ga- ry 1963- - Karen Marshall, Bedingfield-J- oe Puffer, Thompson Doug Fowles, Middle-Weig- "After Milford was settled in the early seventies, some of the Indians moved in close to town. The site of the cemetery was one of their locations, and another was just west of the present high school. Graves have been dug up in the area Just about one block and a half west from the present gymnasium. The Indians felt like the white men owed them a living, because they had taken their land and resources. They thought little of killing the white men's cattle for food, since the white men thought nothing of killing their cattle (deer). It was very common for the Indians to go around the community and beg for food and clothing, and most of the whites made it a practice of cooking a few more biscuits or preparing more food than they really needed for a meal in anticipation of giving some to them. "They were worse than gypsies as beggars, and they became terrible thelves." But In spite of this there was great caution exercised in order to avoid any trouble with the Indians. ' On one occasion when some of the "bucks" were in town doing some gambling and a little drinking, they began arguing and had a disagreement with Ed Denny. Ed got his 22 Rifle and chased them out of town, taking pot shots at them as they ran The Inthrough the sagebrush. dians went to Tadpole (site used for occasional Powwows and dances about two or three miles southwest of town) after their guns, and started back. Denny ran to store (located on the corner of the present Lumber Company block), where he worked, and grabbed a Rifle. He stood 0 brand new In the door waiting for the Indians to come down the street, but fortunately some other men intercepted them and persuaded them to return without any violence. As years passed, the number of Indians decreased. Some went to stay with the Pahvants at Corn Creek. Others went over around Cedar City, but the majority seem to have gone west to the Indian Peak Palute Reservation where some of their descendants remained until Package ht W5 387-26- 03 Precision Germcn Engbeering Since 1927 j hell -- 1964-Kar- AN EARLY HISTORY OF MILFORD BY GEORGE A.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: In my Ancestry and Descendants Book of John Walker I will quote from the life History of Solomon Walker who spent the most productive years of his life in Mlnersvllle. "While Brother Walker was Bisthe Indians friendly , but hop destitute, often came for help! They would say, "White Bishop heap good injun Bishop." His young wife and small children alone often tried to satisfy and entertain a house full of i Indians in his absence. The Indians would bring pine -- nuts and buckskins to barter for flour, potatoes and bacon. An old buck Indian called Beaver Adds who was nearly blind, had his corner in the Walker kitchen where he ate his meals everyday. He said, "White man food heap good." 1965-Cher- Wunderlich-Jo- yl Roberts, Gillins, en rt Stewart, Boyd Applegate, 1970 -- Lee David Jones, 1971 -- Jackie Price Gary Smith, Price Travis Beniah, 1973 -- Janet ie Thompson Tom Mayer, Mayer Richard Smith, 1975- - Cherie Hiatt Jimmy Raines, 1976- -Julie Carter Russell Smith, 1977 - Karen Whittake- r- Mitchell Sullivan-Ga- ry Bealer, 1978-LinAlbrecht Ken Mayer, 1979-CarDalton Arlan Jones, 1980-GiBarnes-Tr- oy Mayer, -- Nanette Dalton 1982 Laney Hardy, la Prodzlnskl Johnson, Nelson Gray, 1984 -- Jill Daly-Cr- aig Morris Patterson, 1986 Stephanie Plete Florence, Small-Sc- ott Sullivan.

We are now able to repair and even replace certain parts of the eye by using sophisticated surgical tools, like the laser, microsurgery and important new drug Dr. Alldredge contherapies," tinued. It is estimated that half of ait blindness is preventable if eye diseases are detected and treated 386-24- The elderly are particularly vulnerable to eye disease. People over 65 constitute approximately 11 per cent of the U.S. population, but more than 50 per cent of blindness occurs in this group. "Regular medical eye exams by ophthalmologists are the key to Dr. Alldredge early detection," said. "Treatment has a much better chance of success if it is started early, before the dUease progresses. Some blinding eye diseases, like glaucoma, dont present obvious symptoms and can be diagnosed early only through a medical eye exam. The Utah Ophthalmology Society Is a group of 75 eye physicians and surgeons. Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat eye disease medically and surgically, provide eye examinations and prescribe corrective lenses. Failinf eyesight U not an Inevitable result of growing older.

Wright says her study will exahow a family's background influences a preschooler's acquisition of reading skills.
