Show SENIORS PLAN FOR SCENIC TRIP Departing from the usual custom of investing class funds in pins and other items of no educational value, the' 1934 Senior class of the Milford high school, with J. M. Hughes, class advisor, as originator of the happy idea, will utilize present class funds and some they expect to raise in defraying de-fraying the expenses of a three-day trip to Boulder dam and the southern Utah parks. The idea is a most commendable com-mendable one and everywhere the matter has been broached it has met with instant and enthusastic support on -the part of the community. The proposed trip will offer to many of the boys and girls their first view of these great scenic points and, supervised properly, as it will be under Mr. Hughes' direction, the students making the trip will find it one of real and lasting value, besides be-sides offering plenty of opportunity for fun as a finale to their local school activities. The trip is estimated to cost about $115, of which the class now has in its treasury the sum of $57. To raise the balance necessary the Seniors have underway -the annual Senior j hop, to be given Friday night, April 6, and the Senior play, to be given soon thereafter. Both of these events should prove to be big drawing cards on their merits, but, with the additional ad-ditional objective of raising funds so entirely worthwhile, and with the class evincing a commendable spirit of community cooperation, both dance and play will undoubtedly be given generous support by the townspeople,; the Lions cub already having pledged its support of the dance at the rate of $1.00 per, twice the cost of admission admis-sion asked of the general public. In this connection it is remarkable, what may be accomplished in the wayj of cooperation between school and community when a little sensible direction di-rection is given students. Last year but under a different class advisor this same group of students made almost al-most as sorry a mess of some of their activities, insofar as cooperation was concerned, as was the case this year! with the Junior prom, constructive j ideas for which, urged by two or I three forward-looking members of the class, were apparently overruled ! by class advisor and other students, serving to widen the steadiy-growingj breach between school and town.j This was exemplified by the notic-j ably small attendance of local bu.si- ness men at the prom. An event heretofore here-tofore supported generousy by the adults of the town. Incidentally, The News will watch with interest the ca-1 reers of those two or three 1935 classmen who have thus evinced a degree of community interest, keen foresight and good judgment strange-1 ly lacking in fellow members of the; class and in faculty members whose business it should have been to ad-1 vi.-e them conctructively. n i |
