Big Holiday Game
Regulars VS.. Alumni

Two days after Christmas the Mil
ford High Alumni play the. Milford
High regulars. The receipts of the
game will go to help the unemploy-
ed of Milford, and surrounding dis
tricts. 1t has all the promises of
being snappy game, although the
high school team will undoubtedly
feel the absence of some of the for
mer players on the team who will
not participate in this game because
of the coming basket ball season.
The game will be held at the ball
park, and the public is earnestly
urged to come out and help their
unfortunate friends who are but a
small portion of the great army of
unemployed. An admission charge
will be made but all one wants to
give above this charge will be CRATE
fully received. It is a good cause
and should be given hearty support.

OperettG Date Z
Postponed A Week

We find it necessary to announce
that the operetta has been postpon-
ed a week making the date for the
performances the 18th and 18th be-
cause of a basket ball game sched-
uled for the 18th and on account of
other unforeseen delays.
For the last two weeks the Glee
Club has been working hard on their
new operetta. They have started
the stage rehearsing. The leading
voice parts and the choruses have
been working with the school or
chestra with Mr.. Hudson at its
head. The cast is learning their
parts and planning to put them over
big. Mr.. Bowdle is working with
the choruses. There have been .
few changes made in the cast. Two
of the students have found it impos-
sible to take part in the operetta,
Hilda Calhoun and Justus Hudson.
They have substituted Robert Yerk-
es in Justus Hudson's place and
there is not as yet any substitution
for Miss Calhoun.
Mr.. Hudson has been working
hard with the school orchestra.
Last Wednesday the members of the
orchestra devoted a great deal of
time laboring on the operetta mu-
sic.

Fourth Graders GGUe
Thanksgiving Party

l.I
The pupils of Miss Hudson's sec
tiOn of the fourth grade entertain
ed Miss Carter's section Wednes-
day, November 26, at Thanksgiv-
ing party.
Favors, in keeping with the occa-
sion were little boats, with sails
made of paper, to represent the
Mayfower. These were filled with
candies.
The program was as follows:
Song, Father, We Thank Thee"

November Records
In Fourth Grade

Those in Miss Hudson's section of
the fourth grade who had perfect at
tendance for November were:
George Beebe, Joseph Emory,
Walter Favinger, Oscar French,
Raymond Hamilton, Russell Holleg-
er, William Johnson, Susan Jones,
Virdia Lynch, Irene Lynch, Eliza
beth Kenton, Helen Kaiser, June
Hunt, Norma Hollis, Grace Hitch
ems, Mary Catherine Hammond,
Charlotte Grove, Irene French, An
ma Mae Dowdy, Louise Donovan,
Isabella Donovan, Mary Burlingame,

Perfect spelling records for the
month were made by:
Priscilla Deakyne. Louise Dono-
van, Anna Mae Dowdy, Alice Clea-
yer, Irene French, Mary Catherine
Hammond, Helen Kaiser, Susan
Jones, Oscar French, William John
son.
Milford chronicle., 1930-12-12

Although, or perhaps because,
there were only fourteen school
days in the month of November, we
seem to have found more time than
usual for outside reading. Miss
Barker reports that 431 books were
put into circulation from her desk
during November as against 4S3
books issued in the much longer
school month of October Of these
books 243 were the property of the
school library. and 1888 came
through the Free Public Library.
Although as usual fiction leads in
popularity, 159 of the books bor-
rowed last month we're non-fiction.
The new magazines available on
the racks seem to be in constant
demand, particularly Popular Sci
ence and Popular Mechanics. The
picture-loving boys and girls seem
to monopolize the National Geo
graphic during study hours, while
the more serious-minded students in
Mr.. Boston's classes peruse the Ma
tional Republic eagerly.

ShrMbbery Set Out
Around NelU School

Under the supervision of Elton
Lynch, of the Del-Mar-Va Nurseries,
the high school grounds are going to
undergo a beautiful change, and
shrubbery of all descriptions will be
set out. This will add greatly to the
beauty of our fine building. It
seems, that our school board has
the desire that we, the pupils of
Milford High, be able to boast that
not only have we one of the best
equipped schools in the State but
one with beautiful grounds to sur
round it. Milford will be one of the
few schools in the State to have its
grounds beautifed by shrubs. A
portion of the work has been COM
pleted and even this slight change
has produced beautiful effect. Mil
ford has again taken the lead, there
fore, when the work has been COM
pleted let us help to keep our
school at the front, by taking care
of the school grounds as we would
take care of our own.

Reading Was
Popular In
November

Within the past week the Junior
High shelf has been increased by
two books which ought to be popu-
lar with every one from freshman
on up. "Tales From The Crescent
Moon is primarily a girls book, but
looks as though it might contain a
few surprises. The other new book
Omnibus of Adventure" is col
lection of some forty or more short
stories from the pens of master ro-
mancers, each of which has been
tested by time and is guaranteed to
give a thrill or leave an impression
that will last for many days after
the book has been returned to the
library shelves. If you don't be-
lieve it read the story of "The Man
With The Cream Tarts." Incidently
the book ought to be fun to report
on, for some of those yarns are
guaranteed to scare Miss Hill or
Miss Tatman pink Speaking of
book reports-did you know that
Eleanor Bunstein has completed
her book reports for the year?

TOWH'S Correspondence
Keeps Seventeen Busy.

Have you ever stopped to think
what becomes of your letters or par
GELS after you have dropped them in
the mail box and of the great work
ing unit of our Postal System?
In an interesting interview with
Mr.. Joseph, who has been employed
for thirty years in the Postal Sys-
tenn, 1 was told of the care and
prOmptness with which our mail is
handled. The mail is collected from
all the boxes at appointed hours and
taken to the post Office on South
Walnut street where it is run
through a machine which cancels
the stamps. All parcels too large
for the machine are hand-canceled.
After the mail is cancelled it is sep
arated into various piles which are
wrapped separately and marked
with the name of the city or town
of their destination. These pack
ages are put into bags and tied, ex-
cept registered or otherwise special
mail which S thoroughly locked,
and placed on the train where it is
again sorted, and placed in its pro-
per mail sack. The same process is
used at all box collections. The mail
that comes into our town is care
fully sorted and placed into private
boxes or boxes from which they are
taken by the carriers to our door.
There are working for the U. S.
Government in our own community
seventeen men-each of them has al
special assigned duty. One post

Nichols Appointed TO An
RGpOLiS.

Wilson Nichols, Senior, is prob
ably the proudest boy in the high
school and he has a good reason for
being proud. Nichols has been ap-
pointed by Senator Townsend to fill
a vacancy at the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis
for the egular four-year
course. Nichols applied for the sp-
pointment about a year ago, and on
Saturday came the glad news. We
hope that Nichols can pass the en-
trance examinations, and bring hon
or on dear old Milford High.
Nichols in speaking of his ap-
pointment, hopes that he will be
permitted to train in the aviation
department and realize his lifelong
ambition of being an aviator. Nick.
as he is called by all the gang, is
one of the most popular boys in the
school, is active in athletics and is
the possessor of one of those sunny
dispositions that radiates good
sportsmanship. Below is copy Of

Girl Reserves Want
Recruits To Ranks

What has happened to all the
Freshmen who said they were going
to join the Girl Reserves this year
Last Thursday night a meeting was
held at Kathryn Morrison's, and
Wilma Wilkins was the only new
girl there.
The meeting was called to order
by our president, Ruth Kitchens,
and the minutes of the last meeting
read. The old business discussed
was about the course in First Aid
Miss Bowser has said she would
give us if a sufficient number of
girls wanted it, So far there are
about eighteen. If it is convenient
for her we do not want to start un-
til after the holidays are over.
This year for Christmas, instead
of taking around baskets as we did
last year, it was decided we find one
family and show them a good time.
We also want to sing carols Christ
mas Eve if enough people are will
ing to work with us.
After the business part of the
meeting was over, games were play
ed and refreshments served. The
next meeting is to be in the form of
a Christmas party for which Miss
Alden is to be the hostess on Thurs
day evening, December II.

taken in. Money orders come under
a different head for the post Office
gets commission on all money
taken in through this source.
Our post Office was built May l,
1910, and is a fine structure. 1t has
recently been painted and given a
general remodeling. A new marble
plate was placed in front of the
General Delivery and Stamp win
dows to replace the old one which
had been worn through by so much
walking on. This shows how busy,
and needful the post Office is. There
are now about 500 private boxes.
The people should be proud of such
