COMP PANION OF
BYRD TELLS OF
HISEXPERENCES
High School Students
Hear Story Of city OF
.New York And Little
America.

On Friday, November 81, at the
new High School a very much trav-
eled person, Lieut.. Thomas B. Null
roy, spoke to the employees of The
L. D. Caulk Company and the stu
dents of the Milford Junior and Sen
ior High School. Lieut.. Mulroy told
all about the year he spent in the
Antarctic. He had a small movie
machine with which he showed
many interesting pictures.
Between the time when the pupils
from the elementary school were
getting settled he was interviewed
and told many more facts about the
North and South Poles.
The story of the Byrd Expedition
as told by Lieutenant MalrOy with
the aid of his camera was as fol-
lows:
On the afternoon of August 25, a
quaint old square-rigger sailed out
Of the New York harbor, bound for
adventure 10000 miles away. 1t was
the auxiliary bark "City of New
York." mother ship of the Byrd Ant
arctic Expedition. On her rails, with
wide grins of satisfaction, after two
years of preparation were COmman-
der Byrd and thirty-one of his CO.
adVenturers.
There may have been smiles of
cOndescensiOn from the modern
greyhOunds that lined her path, but
the little square-rigger ignored them
dlsdainfully - for Old-fashioned
though she was, had she not been
chosen from all the ships of the
world TO transport the most modern
and scientific exploring expedition
that man ever planned.
There are scores of yarns in the
three months journey of Captain
Melville's sturdy bark TO Dundin,
New Zealand. There were three
stOwaways found.
In three months the "City of New
York" reached Dundin and six days
later left for the $500 mile trip to
the Ross Sea. On Christmas Day,
the party was listening to q radio
program from home, 10000 miles
away, when suddenly the great ice
barrier was discovered and feverish
activities for disembarkment began.
The landing was made at "Discov-
cry Inlet, Bay of Whales" so called
on account of the great number of
mOnstrous BLUE Whales" that are
about 100 feet long and weigh about
100 tons.
They tied the boat up along the
Ice Barrier and started unloading
supplies and food. These ware car
ried by dog teams for seven miles
to the main camp called Little Am
erica. At the end of December the
dog teams had moved $50 tons of
equipment.
In mid-January an aeroplane was
assembled and Byrd made his first
flight exploring 1900 square miles.
In this territory a range cf noun
tains were discovered and named
Rockefeller Mountains.
On January 81 the Ice Barrier
caved in and almost buried the Ele-
amor Boiling. Byrd seeing a man
overheard jumped over and saved

NEW STAFF TAKES CHARGE
Second Group Of Editors
viii Try To Guido First
Staff.

With this issue of school news we
introduce a new staff of editors and
reporters whose aim is to improve
upon the standard of attainmen al
ready set by their predecessors
That statement is in no way intend
ed to belittle the work done by the
retiring board, however, for in most
cases they have done excellent
work.
Commenting on the group as a
whole, we should say that they have
been ever ready for suggestions,
good sports even under severe crit
icism, conscious of their RESPONSE
bility, and genuinely earnest and
enthusiastic. The worst fault we
have to find is that long-standing
habit of procrastinating has some
times meant that copy was late in
coming to our desk and so went
stale before getting into print.
In, some cases, particularly that
of Alice Breme, outsiders have TAX
en- sufficient interess to express
their approval of her work, but we
l0el sure IudI SOillS VI OuA. ACauSA0 .
have been equally appreciatiVe of
the side-lights on the personalities
of our faculty members as sketched
by Miss James, the stories of our
various industries related by Will
liams, the interviews recorded by
Sipple, the grammar school news
collected by Miss Kitchens, and the
short articles contributed by the
rest of the staff. And when it comes
to class editors we take off our hat
to Howard Derrickson; that noy
certainly has a nose for news!

Students Find Tastes Change
FGds. In Foods - Years
Ago Varieties Of Foods
We're Not Thought Of.

AS years roll ON we find that not
only the styles in clothes change,
but also the styles in foods. Years
ago the idea of having a variety of
food on ones table was not thought
of; yet today the dinner is almost
incomplete if there isn't at least
four or even five different kinds of
vegetables on the table. Such a
thing as diet was hardly heard of
few years back, but today almost
everyone has become accustomed to
some sort of q diet. The style in
which the food is prepared has
greatly changed.
What is the cause of these
changes? One cause is that people
through their intelligence have
grown to know more of the food
they should eat. Our school educa=
ton has helped greatly in this, for
many years ago when school was,
not compulsory and not developed
as it is today people did not come
in contact with instruction as to the
necessities of good health as they
have in later years. 1t was not un-
til during the World War that peo-
pie accustomed themselves to such
food as spinach, egg plant, etc., for
they were called upon by our gov
ernment to eat more of these foods
and to save some of the commoner
known ones to send to our soldiers.
Before the World War people made
only a small wage and most of this
was put to use to provide the food
for large families who often had
only one vegetable on the table, but
after the war of 1918 business be-
gan to boost, wages rose, education
became more popular and people as
q. whole grew to know a high stand-
ard of living more readily and then
we find them supplying their tables
with a healthful variety of vege-
tables and meats.
Along about 1926 or 1927 the
fashionable idea of the diet came
into the limelight. Women and men
decided that they could enjoy better
health by avoiding certain foods or
they could better their appearance
by not eating certain meats and veg
etables, which of course is true in
most cases. The popular eighteen
day-diet is known to most all of us
and some people have ready for
their immediate use when ordering
foods a little card suggesting what
foods they should eat.
Some years back the people cook
ed their one or two only known veg
etables and meats by frying; today |
we consider frying a food not al
ways healthful. We have our foods |
in many different ways,
such as boiling, broiling, stewing,
roasting, etc. Today on many ta-
bles you will see number of delic-
acies like our little French dishes
that were not known to us before.
No doubt our ancestors before us
though that the ways in which their
ancestors prepared foods were crude
for the fads in foods change with
each generation.

WHO'S WHO
Our Jolly Librarian
MISS EDNA BARKER

Who is more busy than our jolly
librarian, Miss Edna Barker? She
picks out books suitable for all the
boys and girls of the High School to
report on. She is very capable of
doing this and knows just what
book each person wants. She works
from 9 A. M. until P. M. at the
school. She is also the town librar-
ian. This library is open three
nights a week and one afternoon.
Altogether her time is very fully oc-
cupied. She has been the town Ii
brarian for three years. Miss Bar
ker was born about three miles out
of Milford in Kent County. When
she was fifteen, she moved in town
where she still resides on the cor
ner of Walnut and Barker streets.
She was educated at the Milford
Classical Academy where the New
Century Club is now. Several years
ago she was the librarian of the
Small Subscription Library, located
in a room over Stills Restaurant.
She enjoys her work at the school
more because some of our books
came from that Subscription Lii
brary.
Miss Barker was Secretary of the
State Sunday School Association for
seven years. During her life she
has travelled many places and hopes
to travel much more in the future.
Here's hoping she may. She has
been to Europe; and last summer
she went to California. She consid-
ers travelling one of the greatest
privileges of her life. Miss Barker
is a person of medium build with
brown hair. She wears glasses, and
always has a smile for everybody.

Thrift Success
In Grade Flu e

Banking participation in Miss
Watson's section of the fifth grade
has been 1000 for seven consecutive
weeks. Their school banking is built
upon the policy that if school bank
ing is worth having, it is worth
while for every pupil to make de-
posit on every Bank Day, and for
that reason the grade is justly
proud of it's record.
Interest has been so keen in the
grade that a School Bank has been
constructed under the direction of
the teacher and has been used for
the past two Bank Days. The build
ers of the bank are Howard Wiki
ins, Billy McLoughrey and Wilmer
Lankford. Harvey Willis, Willard
Stayton and Leon Ladd did a fine
piece of work in painting it. Flor
ence Tease and Barbara Marshall
were elected the Tellers. Marjorie
Mulholland and Dorothy Pierce the
Secretaries.
All banking activities are now
handled by the pupils; the teacher
taking an inactive part.

Roth" an aeroplane mechanic.
The Bay of Whales would soon be
frozen and even the City Of New
York would be crushed so the boats
left behind AZ men.
Larry Gould, Bernt Balchen and
Harold June few to Rockefeller
Mountains for geological study.
While there a gale came up and
carried the plane one and One-quar-
ter miles. The steel propeller was
curled up like paper. Byrd took a
plane and went to their rescue.
They all arrived back in camp safe
ly on March %, 1929.
The thrilling rescue of the geo.
logical party ended the flying ac-
tivities for the season, and the next
six months were spent in making
preparations for the fight to the
pole. Byrd's plan was to lay bases
about a hundred miles between Lit
tie America and a point about half
way to the pole, so in case of a mis-
hap, the party would have supplies.
Most of these bases were laid by
sledging parties, but the furtherest
was laid by plane.
On this flight, which took place
November 18, the party, consisting
of Byrd, Smith, June and Mckinley,
ran out of gasoline and had to make
a forced landing in very danger
GUS field of ice, 95 miles from the
base. They radiOed Immediately for
an additional supply and Bernt Bal
chen came to the rescue. A hasty
examination showed that leak was
responsible for the mishap, since the
plane had an ample supply for the
trip.
On the 29th of November, Bill"
Haines, the weather man, gave the
word and the final dash for the pole
began. Commander Byrd turned the
controls over to Chief Pilot Bernt
Balchen, Harold June was selected
as co-pilot and radio operator, and
Capt. Mckinley as aerial surveyor.
Everything went smoothly until they
reached the high mountain peaks
beyond the Axel Heiberg Glacier,
when the heavily laden plane had
some difficulty attaining the neces-
sary altitude in the rarefled atmos-
phere. In order to clear the peaks
they had to dump a 25O-pound bag
Of food. Finally they reached the
hump at an elevation of 1880 feet.
Before them loomed the still high
er peaks of the Queen Maude Range,
so they had to dump another $50
pound bag of food. Then few more
hours of comparatively easy flying
and Byrd's calculations told him he
had reached the South Pole.
Instantly they flashed the good
news to Little America" and the
waiting world and within a few
hours all the principal newspapers
of America were carrying headlines
announcing this.
The daring air men made a six
mile circuit of the pole and then
headed for home. A landing was
made at the base of Axel Heidberg
Glacier to take on more gasoline
and then they were off once 1nore
for Little America" and the big
gest welcome any group OF men eV-
er received.
On February Z, 1890, the City of
New York arrived once more in the
Bay of Whales and the men were
taken aboard and off they sailed.

96 Per Cent Banking

Mrs. Nemish's room had $3.50 in
banking last week. We thought that
we had the highest per cent of any
of the high grades, but later found
out that the Seniors had come out
ahead of us.
We are now aiming to come ahead
of the Seniors, although we have
made a higher per cent than some
of the high school grades.

FENCE AROUND GRAMMAR
SCHOOL

There is a new step being taken
to insure the safety of the children
of the Milford Elementary School.
A strong, metal-wire fence is being
erected around the Gchool grounds.
The fence has steel posts which are
firmly settled in cement about eight
feet apart. There are three gates,
one on each side of the school and
a large double gate at the main en-
trance.
The children will now be kept out
of the street and will not be in the
way of passing vehicles. Not only
will the fence make it safe for the
children but it will add much to the
looks of the school itself.
