Show CLASS HISTORY By LARAE HANNEY It begins in the year 1932. Never was there a time in the history of the world when genuine talent and brilliance were more needed. The world awaited people who could and would lead out in great endeavor, so, in the year 1932, 37 beautiful and intelligent babies came into this waiting-world, waiting-world, into the loving arms of parents who never faltered. For six brief years these potential leaders (and have you guessed it? this Class of 1950) did little more than eat and sleep and weep and wail. Then came that day in x early September when 37 strong, we trudged into the first grade room at the elementary school. Miss Jolly marveled at our studious studi-ous attitude. Within a week we were bored with the continuing influence of the school room, but we were able to eat apples or candy in classes without being caught, and we snapped our gum better than any of the sixth graders grad-ers an art we haven't lost with the years. Six years passed in rapid succession; suc-cession; our little characters were molded not only by our interested and somewhat surprised parents, but also by conscientious and loving lov-ing teachers. We will always hold the deepest affection in our hearts for Miss Jolly, Mrs. Bond, Mrs. Hollis, Miss Erickson, Mrs. Peak, Miss Noble, and finally Mr. Wendell Wen-dell who without exception, patted us on the head and advanced us to the Milford High School. Looks of admiration greeted us as we marched single file into the great auditorium that spring, and we waited impatiently to enroll the following September. During these years we had lost three of our classmates to other schools Marleen Mills, Ronald Watts and Leland Weeks but we gained Raymond Feller, Paul Crum, Patsy Evans, Colleen Hansen, Patsy Fowles and Eunice Robinson. During the first month of our stay at the high school, we learned to drop books and paper in the halls, sharpen pencils whenever we didn't know the answer to a question directed our way in any class, and to be a minute or two late to all classes. Thanks to Mr. Farrer, we found our voices could be used for something besides shouting and we formed a delightful delight-ful chorus. In the two short years of junior high school we became ambitious. Using all of the delightful delight-ful and worthwhile training of the six previous years, we developed a desire, a true desire, for higher learning. During our freshman year we lost Granetta Whitbeck to Granite High school; then we were further .saddened when the sophomores failed to initiate us in the tradi- tional manner. To prove our worth, we presented a talented freshman assembly that won us acclaim from the mighty upper-classmen. upper-classmen. We as freshmen "made a name for ourselves with a very successful Freshman Frolic.

The first thing we did was to revive the traditional Freshman Initiation; so thorough tho-rough were we in our effort that even the Freshmen felt duly initiated. Our ego rose to a new level when our Sophomore Sopho-more Skid was declared a success. suc-cess. But then to relieve the jubilation over that, one of our classmates, Farrell Fothering-ham, Fothering-ham, deserted us to go to California; Cali-fornia; Beverly Brimberry was struck by Cupid's arrow; a similar sim-ilar shaft got Donna Muir. Then Patsy Evans and Colleen Hansen Han-sen moved into other schools. Pat Rollins and Ferris Thurston left our ranks. Time rolled on and we were clever Juniors, with Gerald Stoker as president. Neil Garfield Gar-field directed the most beautiful beauti-ful and successful Prom in the history of Milford High (unquote). (un-quote). Blue Skies will ever be remembered as the theme.
