Our high school classes showed
the absence of many boys Monday
when the Milford Boys Band left at
ten o'clock for Longwood as guests
of the Milford Rotary Club and Car
isle Fire Company. There they
heard the Marine Band. After a very
enjoyable experience they made
trip to Millsboro for the purpose of
taking part in a parade They were
too late for the parade, but they re-
ceived ten dollars for their appear
lnce.
For the information of those who !
are not in touch with the high /
school we are able to report that be-
ginning on Monday of this week the |
boys of grade seven are to receive |
each week throughout the year for |
TWO periods of one hour each, in
struction in Manual Training with |
Mr.. Magee, and the boys of the !
eighth grade are to receive similar
Instruction for three periods each /
week. At the same time that the boys
Ire receiving this instruction an
equal number of seventh and eighth
grade girls will receive instruction

This is in line with the plans for the
establishment of a Junior High /
School in Milford and means that

,ilities for the teacher of music, Miss
