FINE EQUIPMENT
FOR HOME ECONOMICS
Color Reigns in Kitchen and Sewing
Room

On entering the Home Economics
kitchen ones fingers fairly itch to
grab an apron and plunge into the
mysteries of cake-baking and pickle
making,-that is, if one is a girl
Such a rOOmful of big, roomy cab
inets and smaller table-topped cab
inets, all finished in green enamel
with contrasting topsl And such at
tractive gas ranges with the very
newest cOnveniences, not to men
tiOn the sinks and stationary tubs
all arranged in convenient order!
The room itself is a large white
walled place, well-lighted by a long
row of windows on one side. Later
on there are to be cream cOlored
curtains hung at these windows and
geraniums in green flower pots set
on the sills.
Through the far end of the room
one enters the sewing room in
which the predominating color is
orchid. On one side are six green
topped sewing tables, while on the
other are the sewing machines with
theirf neat orchid covers, made by
the girls themselves, arranged in a
row near the window in order to
catch the full light. In one corner
of this room stands a full length
triple mirror which will undoubted-
ly be used by others than the dress
making class. In other parts of the
sewing-roOm are large cabinets for
the girls to put. their dresses and
materials in between classes and
ironing boards which fold into the
wall, on which they may press their
sewing. The walls and curtains of
this room match those of the kitchr
en-. When all the finishing touches
have been added to this already at
tractive room it will be an unusual
ly pleasant workshop and labora-
tory.

LIBRARY POPULAR

New Books and New Librarian
The library in the school is being
used as never before. In the first
month 337 books were put into cir
culation among the students, and
it is interesting to note that of that
number one-third were non-fiction.
The credit for such record prob
ably should be divided, part for the
librarian, part for the books them
selves, and part for the equipment.
The library in the new school
contains 1915 volumes of the best
fiction, biography, poetry a n d
dramas. About 100 of the books are
new this year. Among the new ones
are: Tarbells Life of Lincoln"
Alexander Hamilton" "Main Tray
eled Roads," and "The Mob" Be
sides the circulating library we
have a reference library which con-
tains encyclopedias and histories
which may not be taken from the
library.
In addition to the new books we
have new shelves and open stacks,
a magazine rack, a desk for the Ii
brarian, and two modern reference
tables in our library equipment.
Last, but not least, our library is
made ever so much more effective
by having Miss Barker as librarian.
Because of her wide acquaintance
among the boys and girls, and be-
cause of her knowledge of what is
good for us as we'll as what we like
she has already made herself quite
indispensable.

SCHOOL BANKING
Much Interest Shown

Last year the members of the
school banking system expressed
their regret both amongst them
selves and to the entire student
body that Milford was making such
a poor showing on banking days.
Miss Kinder, the teacher in charge,
expressed the opinion that 1929
would probably be the last year of
school banking because of the lack
of interest. This year all seems
changed, for much interest is being
shown. Undoubtedly 1880 will be a
better year than its predecessor.
The week of September so showed
six percent increase over the fig
ures of the previous banking day,
with the eighth grade in Mrs. Mem
ish's room setting the pace with
forty-siX three-sevenths per cent of
the class depositing. The amount de-
posted for the week was S545O

That the young man of today has
in Delaware as many opportunities
for success in business or politics
as in any other state was the opin-
ion expressed by former Governor
and present Senator John G. Town
send, Jr., in an interview at his
home in Selbyville last Friday even
ing.
He stressed particularly the ad-
vantages of agriculture in Delaware.
The first advantage is the fertility
and suitability of the soil for a
number of different crops. The soil
is this state is recognized as mostly
fertile and therefore suitable to a
variety of crops. The second is the
nearness to markets. Mr.. Townsend
pointed out that the Delaware far
mer has a decided advantage over
farmers in other localities in this
respect, because he can ship his
products by truck at the end of the
day and they will be in the Phila-
delphia or New York markets the
next morning. With these advan-
tages there is certainly a wonder
full opportunity for a young farmer
in our state, provided he is willing
and anxious to work, explained Mr..
Townsend.
He also pointed out the wonderful
opportunities for professional men
in our large city, Wilmington, and
the many other progressive towns
of the state. The numerous new
high schools throughout the state
create a demand for competent
teachers and the construction of
public buildings and roads provides
work for engineers and contractors.

Former Governor Townsend
Cites Many Opportunities
For Young Men In DeLauUare
Tells Of Advantages Of Agriculture In DeLa-
ware And Opportunities Afforded Profess
sionaZ Men And Laborers; Offers His
OUn Career AS An Example.

AS to the opportunities of a politi-
cal life, Mr.. Townsend offered his
own career as an example. He stat
ed that he has never had a high
school education, and yet he has
been hOnOred by election to the Of
fees of Governor of this state and
United States Senator! In the Office
of Governor he brought a bout
great many needed improvements,
among which are the Highway Com
mission, the reorganization of the
public school system, and the estab-
lishment of a much needed summer
school for state teachers. In the
office of United States Senator he is
now doing all that he can for Della
ware.
AS to the opportunities of a bus
mess life, Mr.. Townsend again Of
fered his career as an example. He
started out at the bottom and grad
ually worked up to his present po-
sitiOn. He leaned back in his chair
and smiled as he recalled his first
year in Delaware i'll 1898, after he
had left his native state, Maryland.
1t was a struggle to earn enough
money to support his wife and three
children, but by hard work and saw
ing he made a success of his work.
Since then his business has grown
until now he owns probably the
largest strawberry packing industry
in the world and the second largest
apple orchards in the world. Mr..
Townsend's success did not just
happen" 1t was the result of hard
work and certainly shows that op-
had in Delaware if the young man
will only take advantage of them.

MILFORD BEATS REHOBOTH
IN SECOND GAME OF SEASON
Lone Touchdown and Extra Point
Give Milford Victory

The Milford High School football
team won a victory over the Reho-
both eleven on Tuesday, September
30, by seven to nothing score. The
boys went out with the determina-
tion to win and pushed over their
counter in the first quarter. That
was their first score of the season,
since the game with FELTON,, on Sep
tember 26, ended in a scoreless tie.
After the Rehoboth game several
members of the squad were suffer-
ing from slight bruises and scratch
es as the result of hard falls. Josh
ua Bennett, playing fullback, had
the wind knocked out of him in a
nasty fall; Emory POstles, our right
half-back, was kicked in the head
while tackling a man, but was saved
by his helmet; and Hull, who played
left half-back, was dazed when he
hit a man and made several fumbles
before his head cleared.
Several nice runs were made by
both teams. Theodore Govotas, our
snappy quarterback, saved a sure
touchdown for RehOboth when he
nailed the fullback who had gotten
loose from secondary and was
speeding for the Milford goal.
This is Milford's first year of
football since 1924, but the school
as a whole is expecting the team
to have a victorious season. The
team has been disappointed because
more people have not come out to
see the games, but we are expect
ing to see a large crowd in the
stands when we play ON the ball
diamond at home, for plenty of
noise and enthusiasm in the grand
stand is essential to a good football
game.

Popular New Coach West Chester
Graduate

Mr.. Andrew BOwdle, our new
coach and gym teacher, halls from
the great city of Philadelphia. He
has studied in many places to ac-
quire the ability needed for the po-
sitjon of athletic teacher here in
Milford High. His school days were
spent in Philadelphia, the North
East High, the Huntington Valley,
and the Jenkinstown High. His col
lege days were spent at the Pennsly-
vania State Teachers College at
West Chester, Pennsylvania. While
Mr.. Bowdle was attending Jenkins
town High School he was a men,
Der of their championship football
team At West Chester he was the
president of his class. He was there
the captain of the exhibition gym
team and also of the soccer team,
as we'll as being member of the
track and football teams.
Mr.. Bowdle taught two years in
the West Chester public schools. In
1929 he was supervisor of athletics
in the schools of Clayton COmmun-
ity Center in the City of Whining
ton Our school, Coach BOwdle
thinks, has the makings of a cham
pion football team for next year. It
is also his belief that the girls bas-
getball team will this year become
State champions. AS soon as the
gymnasium apparatus is placed in
the gym and the outdoor program
is completed the gym teams will be-
gin practice under Coach Bowdle,
for the indoor exhibition which he
plans for the future.
So much for the little that Coach
Bowdle has to say for himself. What
we noticed in our interview was
that he is not at all vain of his
many accomplishments but seems
to consider them lightly. This
bronzed young athlete has an agree
able manner and at all times seems
ready to please. Judging from the
large number out for football thiS
year, we think that it is very ap-
parent that the boys are attracted
by his good sportsmanship. The
girls never think about cutting ply
sical education class. Is this be-
cause of his attractiveness. or his
commanding air?

14S COME TO NEW
SCHOOL ON BUS

In the fall of 1868, when General
Burnside had penetrated so far
within the enemy's lines in Tennes-
see that his situation was regarded
as critical, a telegram reached
headquarters stating that firing
was heard toward Knoxville"
Il am glad of i'll" exclaimed Pres
ident Lincoln. Asked the cause of
his gladness, re returned: Because
l am reminded of Mrs. Sallie Ward,
a neighbor of mine, who had large
family. Occasionally one of the nu-
merous children would be heard
crying from some out-of-the-way
place, upon which Mrs. Ward would
exclaim: Thank the Lord, there's
one of my children who isn't dead
yet"
The new school, our Alma Mater,
can be compared to Mrs. Ward, and
we, the pupils, to her children. We
want to let you know that there
are 421 of us in the new school who
aren't dead yet, although we've just
started to cry out tthe fact OF
course you don't see us as often as
when we were at the old school,
for it's too far to walk just to see
us, though it might be worth while
to come to see our new school, of
which we are very proud. We come
from a radius of miles.
1t might be interesting to you to
know that 43 pupils come to school
on bicycles. There are 1874 pupils
who come on buses, ten in the
Shawnee bus driven by Mr.. Preston
Kenton. "a in the Thompsonville
bus driven by Mr.. e. G. Morgan, 40
in the Houston bus driven by Mr..
J. Dawson, 20 in the Lincoln and
Ellendale bus driven by Mrs. Car
penter, 4 in the Benefits Gate bus
driven by Mrs. C.. Jester, 81 in the
Houston bus driven by Mrs. A. Daw-
son, 16 in the Staytonville bus driv-
ell by Mr.. w. StaytOn, 10 in the Mil
wood bus driven by Mr.. J. Annett,
and 20 in the Slaughter Beach bus
driven by Mr.. J, Smith. The greatest
distance that any of the pupils has
to walk to meet a bus is two and
a half miles. Thirty-six pupils come
in private cars. The rest, 1853, walk.

SENIOR FINANCIAL REPORT

The treasurer of the Senior class,
Ruth Kitchens, has reported a bal
ance of $5054 no won hand in the
Senior treasury. Her report includ-
ed all receipts and disbursements
from the beginning of the Junior
year, when there was a balance of
$11.66. Since then the Seniors have
added $50 from prizes for floats in
the parades held each year during
the Firemen's Carnival, and $14.38
from class dues and money left Ov-
er from various parties. Last Christ
mas $3.50 was taken out for pres
ents. This makes the present total
$5054. For this year, since they are
not allowed to sell candy, the Sen
iors plan to add to this sum by Civ
ing a series of short plays, in order
to have enough money for their
Washington trip in June.

MILFORD DEFEATED
BRIDGEVILLE SCORES 10

Although the Milford High School
eleven put up gallant battle they
were defeated by Bridgeville to the
tune of 1870, last Friday. In the first
quarter Bridgeville received the
kickoff and carried it to Milford's
rs yard line where she lost it on
downs. Milford made several stabs
at Bridgeville's line and lost the
ball on downs. After several end
runs Bridgeville scored her first
touchdown.
In the second quarter Milford
tightened up and succeeded in hold
ing Bridgeville. Once Milford's goal
line was threatened but although
three heart-breaking attempts to
score were made the Milford line
held like a stone wall. Joshua Ben
nett, Milford fullback, kicked in the
second team. Rosa Milford End
string fullback, received the kick
off and carried it to the 40 yard
line. While Rosa was going around
the Bridgeville line on a long end
run the game ended. Ralph Reed, a
Milford end was slightly injured in
his shoulder, but soon recovered.

ELECTION OF SENIOR OFFICERS

Z On Wednesday, September II, the
Senior class elected their officers.
The president of last year, Robert
Yerkes, had charge of the meeting.
The suggestion was made that they
re-elect their former officers, as be-
ing Seniors, they needed expert
enced ones. This suggestion was ac-
cepted. Because the treasurer will
have so much extra work this year,
the class also elected an assistant
treasurer. The officers now are:
President, Robert Yerkes; vice
president, Elizabeth James; secre-
tary, Henry Sipple; treasurer, Ruth
Kitchens; assistant treasurer, Jen-
ME Lee Wooten.

from 10 to IL Friday morning. The
topic was one nearest the hearts of
the boys and girls-Historic Della
ware Mr.. Sanderson was sent as a
representative from the Sons of the
Revolution to tell especially about
the Battle of the Brandywine and
Cooch's Bridge. In the course of the
talk he brought a number of laughs

joyed not only by the student body
and faculty, but also by Mr.. Sander

ORGANIZED EXER.
CISE FOR GIRLS
Classes Twice Weekly

A new idea has been introduced
to the Milford High School this year
by the athletic instructor, Mr..
Bowdle-that of having gymnasium
classes. This work is compulsory
except in the case of students hav-
ing only one study period during
the day, in which case it is optional.
The classes meet twice a week
During the warm weather the girls
are outdoors playing volley ball and
Stag ball. When the weather is not
pleasant, the girls stay indoors
learning to tap dance. Later in the
year when the gymnasium equip
ment arrives there will be appara-
tus work in the gymnasium. For
gym costumes, the girls have Sc
lected white duck trunks with shirts.
Everything points to the success of
these classes.

play football under the direction of

For the past week Bob Yerkes has
been worrying his teachers almost
to death by spending all of his spare
moments in asking for sympathy
and praise because of his heavy
schedule.
