FOURTH OF JULY WILL
BE QUIETLY OBSERVED

The Town Council of Milford has
not made any public announcement of
any program for the observation of
the National Holiday, the Fourth of
July, but it is understood, that the
police will be required to enforce the
laws against setting off of fireworks
in the incorporated limits of Milford.
There has been no organized effort
made to have any form of celebration
not even a parade of the local mill
tary company. The people will prob
ably go elsewhere for amusement. The
bayshOre will get some, while others
will go to horse races and ball games
at various places. The poor afflicted
rum absorber, will get in a state of
Inconsistencies, if sufficient bad al
coholic mixtures can be procured and
he will have lost another day out of
his poor life time. Everybody to their
liking; as the fellow said, when he
kissed a COW. The Fourth is two
weeks from next Tuesday.

MANUAL TRAINING DEPART
MENT HAS FINE DISPLAY

The Manual Training Department
of the Milford High School has had
samples of the work made by the boys
in that department on display at the
store of J. H. Humes this week. The
specimens exhibited are amazing in
their variety as well as workman
ship. They look more like the finished
work from some factory than that of
students work done in the regular
routine class work of the schools. In
the exhibit are displayed articles of
every day use. Among those shown
are library tables, serving tables, hat
racks, piano stands, waste baskets,
cigar stands, book holders and others.
The boys have not only made the ar
ticles, but have finished them COM
plete, including the varnish. This
work is new in the Milford High
School but the results obtained dem
onstrate that it must be very pOpu-
lar branch of school work with the
boys.
In addition to the wood work dis
played at the Humes store there are
drawings made by the boys in the
Mechanic Drawing Glass which dem
onstrate their value. The work shown
is the equal to that demanded in most
Of the colleges in their first year, and
is more advanced than the ordinary
high school work for this subject.
Mr.. Barsby, the present instructor in
Manual Training will continue in that
next year.

doors of the dining room were thrown
open and the members and their
guests proceeded to their places. The
banquet room presented a very pleas
ing appearance being decorated with
the Glass COlors of orange and black
and under the soft glow of shaded
candle light from the small banquet
tables, the effect created was very
striking and attractive.
James K. Pettyjohn, the retiring
president, made an address, welcOm-
ing the graduates and then turned the
gaVel over to his successor, Miss Hell
en- Tatman, newly-elected president.
In very pleasing manner Miss Tat
man accepted the responsibility of the
office and then gave humorous read
ing of an original poem setting forth
the characteristics of this years class.
The gavel was then returned to Mr..
Pettyjohn who acted as postmaster of
the evening and from then until
late hour the fun and feasting con-
tinued.
At the close of the banquet the
scholarship committee announced the
award of the scholarship of $1OO to
Stanley Van Dyke of this years class.
Mr.. Van Dyke will enter the Univer-
sity of Delaware in the fall.
