The eighth grade represented by
Henry Bunstein, received this week
a long letter from an eighth grade
in a public school of Amarillo, Tex
as, together with the signature of
the pupils and a box containing
samples of the agriculture products
of the Panhandle Plains region of
Texas. Some time the eighth grade
will respond in like manner from
Milford as a representative town of
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula.

Look in the news columns for the
prize received by Curtis Williams
for an essay on "The Relation That
Chemistry Has to Agriculture"
awarded by the American Shemical
Association.
Last week our school received
through DR.. H. V. Holloway copy
of "The Pet Book" by Anna Bots
ford Comstock, a gift to the school
from the Delaware Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
This gift was made as a part of
their observance of humane week.
The book is now in Grade 1 and will
work its way upward, giving every
child a chance to learn how to be a
good master to a pet.
The bank deposits for the Milford |
school for Tuesday, April 80, amoun-
ted to $34.62. The deposit for the
whole month of April was $198.98.
Twenty girls of the upper high |
school classes will represent Mil
ford High School Monday afternoon |

Getting Ready For Field Day
The Milford public school boys |
and girls have made public annOun- |
cement that spring is here as far as |
they are concerned; for to the man |
with the practiced eye the daily |
dashes, dodge ball games, volley ball |
games, all mean but one thing, May |
10, the day of the annual track and
field meet is rapidly approaching.

The games will be held at Har-
rington again this year because of

During the past week the Athletic
Council of the public school has !
been putting the youths through |
their PAGES in order to ascertain
who is the pick of the school for the |
various events. Including the badge
tests more than 300 boys and girls |
have been given preliminary try
outs.
The volley ball teams and dodge !
ball teams seem to be the most ad-
vanced in their training and barring |
an unusual upset may be expected |
to again win all four of these .
events. The captains of the teams !
are as follows: Volley ball, Thomas
Derrickson and Mildred Griffith;
dodge ball, Randall Christensen and
Ruth Anne Holzmueller.
Ralph Sharp, who broke the State
record in the broad jump at the last
meet, is working easily but at rate
that is calculated to bring him into i
top form on the day of the games.
The girls relay in the 115 pound !
class, consisting of Jennie Wootten,
Mary Vinyard, Lucetta Milman and
Mary Reedy, have made the best
time of the preliminary practice and
are in fine shape to give good ac-
count of themselves at Harrington.
