Inside Dope On
Seven Senior Girls

From week to week during the
past months we have been introduce
ing the members of our graduating
class to our readers. This week for
various reasons we feel particularly
generous, so we present the follow
ing:
Mary Kielbasa is another of our
Senior Glass. This is the first year
that many of us have been able to
get really acquainted with Mary, be-
cause she is a wonder in French.
She likes to read and she hopes to
go away to business school after
graduating.
Frances Colbourne was the repre-
sentative of Delaware to the Four-H
Club Congress at Chicago. She in
terested the Senior English Glass
very much when she came back by
telling us about huge cake shaped
like a locomotive. Frances intends
to go to Beacon next year.
Mary Catherine Schobelock is an
other of our class who likes to read.
One of her greatest problems is how
to get to Commercial Arithmetic
class on time. Miss Kinder says
that Mary Catherine cannot pass
arithmetic until she teaches the
class how to spell her last name.
After graduating she wants to do
secretarial work.
Marjorie Gray, the small blonde
with the large brown eyes, is one of

TWO GIRLS WIN
HIGHEST HONORS
Dorothy Murphy Is Vale
dictOrian And Mildred
Burlingame, SalutatOr-
ian.

Since the girls in the class of
1881 outnumbered the boys about
two to one, it probably is natural
that they should carry off the high
est honors. At least they did, any
way; and in no slouchy way either.
For when a girl makes an average of
81 for her four years in high school,
you may feel sure that that young
lady has worked. That is the en-
viable record of Dorothy Murphy,
our fifteen-year-old valedictorian.
We all take our hats off to you, Dor
othy, and marvel at one who is so
clever, agreeable, and pretty at the
same time.
Not far behind Dorothy in her
scholastic record was Mildred Bur-
lingame who made an average of
S8.5 during her high-schOol career,
thereby earning the privilege to de-
liver the Salutatory Address for her
class. Studies have not claimed all
of Mildred's time, however, for she
has proved herself an all-rOund girl
by her participation in basket ball,
defamation contests, and the Senior
play.
Worthy Of particular mention for
the fine work they have done while
in high school are two other girls
in the graduating class, namely:
Mary Vinyard and Ruth Kitchens.

OUR ORCHESTRA LEADER


tuition because his father was toe
old to give him very much help. At
ter leaving the conservatory he
! played in the Academy of Music
Theatre for the grand sum of $50 pei
month. Then came the Spanish
American War. Influenced by Prof
Guith, German band leader who
offered to teach him harmony, Mr..
Hudson enlisted as band man, and
played the baritone horn. In this
war he was cured of the tobacco hab-
it by chewing some tobacco which
he was told would cure his tooth
ache. He swallowed the stuff and
was so sick that he has never since
smoked, and never expects to. Then,
too, he and five other men once
played different tunes at the same
time on dress parade because they
did not like the officer in charge.
They almost suffered for that prank
but were spared because their Judge
didn't like the officer either.
When he returned from the war
the Professor got job playing the
baritone with Bauer's Concert Band
This was a travelling band and gave
concerts in all the Luna Parks in the
east. Then he got married and
homesteaded to Saskatchewan,
where he taught music in winter and
farmed all summer. Becoming dis
satisfied there he returned to Scran-
ton and Bauer's Band. Bauer loan
ed him to AleXander's Band of
Wilkes-Barre and with them the pro-
fessOr started the fashion of singing
with band accompaniment. So far as
we know he was the first to do that,
although soon after it became very
popular. At this time he was also
doing work in the churches, singing
for salary While at Woodside
Park, Philadelphia, he once made
trip to Delaware, and liked it so well
that he brought his wife and children
and lived in Millsboro. Governor
Townsend obtained work for him i'll
Selbyville and at a number of public
schools. When the World War began
Mr.. Hudson wanted to enlist, but
Governor Townsend said he had en-
ough to do at home with six chill
dren and he was two or three years
too old anyhow. At the death of his
wife he left Delaware and went to
Bethlehem, Pa, where he studied
again under the Concert Master for
Walter Damrosch He sang in
church and played in the theatre for
his living and from 8 o'clock in the
morning until two in the afternoon
he was brokers' clerk. He must
have led a busy life, and often tells
of his experience as the orchestra
leader for vaudeville shows. He
didn't like to be continually swear
ing at these artists who were so
hard to please, so he paid his pianist
and Irish drummer extra. When the
actor would be raging at the players
the pianist would be calmly but ir-
rattling papers. The eX-
artist would shout down at
him, 81 mean you too, you" In
nocently the other would look up and
ask, well, what the -- is the mat
ter with your" AS for the Irish
Enough said. He almost
choked man to death because when
his act Topped he blamed it on the
orchestra.
Later Mr.. Hudson married again
and brought his second wife to Del
aware, where She chose Milford as
he incest place to live. The profess
;or applied to Dr.. Holloway for a
position, went to summer school at
Milford chronicle., 1931-06-12

! Delaware University, and now he
teaches school at ROxana, Millsboro,
Caesar Rodney, Selbyville, Lord Bal
timore and Milford. OF all these
places he gets the best instrumental
results from the Milford school and
we are very proud of that fact.
Mr.. HudsOn's great hobby is
chicken farming. He says it is
probably because his mothers peo-
pie were farmers back in the old
country.
One can hardly risk asking this
man what he thinks of life when he
has seen so much of it, 81 am a
self-made man." he says, ''if l now
had all the money l have made and
lost at music l should be a wealthy
man. But | would rather be poor.
and happily at work than rich and
ignorant"
He chose music as his life work
because he loved it. 1t has meant
everything to him, food, clothing,
shelter, friends, and mental comfort
at times when without it he might
have died, as his doctors once pre-
dicted. Money is not everything,
music is twice as important, some
thing he cannot live without. 1t has
taught him to live and let live, to
give the world his best, expect moth
ing in return, and yet be happy be-
yond expression, because with music
he can play away all gloom and
grief. He may well say with Addi-
SOn--
Music can noble hints impart
Engender fury, kindle love;
With unsuspected elOquence can
move,
And manage all the man with secret
art.

Baccalaureate Sermon
Held At M. E. Church
Rev. HersOn Gives SagaciOuS
Advice

Last Sunday evening Rev. Frank
Herson preached the Baccalaureate
Sermon to the graduates. His text
was "In All the Ways Acknowledge
Him And He Shall Direct Thy Path. y
According to the usual custom he
preached directly to the graduates
who, with the school board and the
faculty, were seated in the front
seats.
He congratulated the class on
their fine work in high school. Their
school days had been short, and sue
cess was at the end of their way. He
emphasized their going into a trou-
blesome world, one that was far
from being such an even-tempered
world as they had had in their
school years. In his sermon he used
the well-known verse:
We're so tall rs 4 reach the pole,
Or measure ocean with span,
I'd still be measured by my soul;
The minds the standard Of the man.
Manhood and womanhood are the
greatest things on earth. He COM
pared men and women with a four
year-old boy with his pockets full
OF marbles, string, and other odds
and ends. Men and women are like
the boy in that they are always
wishing for money, fur coats, jew
els, and other riches. Far better than
these luxuries is the luxury, know
ledge. The world owes you nothing.
You have to have efficient tools to
work with in order to wiring from
the world a good living. Then Rev.
Herson quoted from Kingsley
"Have tools ready and God will find
work" The world is a battlefield,
more so now than when l was a
graduate. The world has been made
smaller through the agency of mod
ern inventions, such as the tele-
graph, telephone, and above all the
aeroplane. 1t may not be in my life

.ENTERTA[NS The
SENIORS IN STUDIO
Mr.. TrOpea Shows Glass
Art OF Photography.

Monday morning of last week at
nine o'clock the Senior Glass of the
Milford High School spent an inter
esting as well as a profitable hour
visiting Mr.. TrOpea at the Caulk
| Laboratory. First of all he showed
us through his studio where he takes
pictures. He showed us the way he
takes pictures of theE bacteria, by
means of a specially made, imported
camera which fits down over the
opening in the top of the microscope.
This eliminates the delays and fail
ures of so many plates by the old
method. He told us about how to
adjust the bellows of the big Gamer
as he has there, explaining that it
took more time to take Il picture
with the bellows pulled out The
way he takes picture of a tooth is
very interesting. He first takes q
picture of the white background
without any daylight. Then ne places
the tooth on the background and
takes a daylight exposure of it. In
this room he keeps his mercury va
pOr lamp. This is comprised of four
cylinders filled with mercury vapor
which produce a violet light. This
light is one of the coldest known. He
also had another lamp which pro-
duced a light similar to daylight.
We then proceeded to the dark
room where prints and films are de-
veloped, washed, dried, and printed.
Mr.. Tropea told us of the difficulties
in the way of the photographer 25
years ago; how they had to prepare
their own chemicals and paper, and
how they used to have to wash the
prints in water up to the shoulders.
The result in many cases was rheu-
matism in the arm used in the wa
ter.
One Of the most interesting things
he showed us was a plate taken in
color. The plate used for the expos
ure was very sensitive to color, and
after being sprayed with several diff
ferent kinds of chemicals, produced
a very beautiful colored plate. Mr..
TrOpea also showed us how to bind
plates and gave us many helpful
hints about photography. He told us
that working in a red light makes
one irritable.

Rotary Club Entertains
Our Graduating Glass
DIR. Short Advises Seniors TO Have
Patience, Courage And FOrtitude.

Monday evening, June 8, the Ro-
tary Club of Milford entertained the
graduating class of Milford High at
a banquet held in the Windsor Ho-
tel. The evening was opened by
singing a stanza of "My Country 'Tis
of Thee" DR.. Oliver James then
made the invocation, after which
the dinner was served. Between the
courses familiar songs were sung
and each member of the class was
introduced by the class president,
Robert Yerkes.
After the dinner the speaker of
the evening, DR.. Francis B. Short,
was introduced by DR.. James, the
POSTMASTER DR.. Short gave very
inspiring talk in which he stressed
the fact that we did not have to go
away from home to make good, and
that our own little town should be
our pride and joy.
DR.. James next spoke and thank
ed DR.. Short for the talk. He also
stressed the point never to be
ashamed of your parents, never to
be ashamed of your town, never to
be ashamed of your State, for you
owe all that you are or ever expect
to be to them.
The president of the Rotary Club
then announced that he was glad to
tell at this time the name of the
winner of the Rotary prize which is
given to the teacher who performs
the most outstanding work along
some line in connection with school
work. Miss Elizabeth Alden of the
high school faculty received the
prize for the untiring effort she put
forth to make our school page in
the Chronicle a success. DR.. Short
also praised the sheet very highly.
The banquet was then closed and all
departed happy for their homes.

Costume Numbers And Toy Band
Last Thursday afternoon the
grammar school children, from the
first grade on, gave a program in the
high school gymnasium. Miss Cath
cart the music teacher, and all the
other patient grammar school tea
chers deserve a great deal of credit
for the way they trained those
youngsters. The first grade was as
well-behaved as the eighth. They,
the beginners, sang March March,
The Birds Valentine, Sleep Baby
Sleep, John Brown Had A Little In
dian, and Tick Took. The second
graders sang The Wind, Autumn
Leaves, and Rainfall. This grade al
so had toy orchestra or a rhythm
band which deserves special men,
tion. In it were drums, bells, tri-
angles, combs, castinets, etc. They
played Amarallis, Ace of Diamonds,
and with Castinets. The band was
directed by Charles Hammond and
Myron Warren. The third grade girls
sang The Pilgrim Maiden, in cos
tune. The boys, all dressed in Ov-
eralls, old hats and carrying fishing
poles sang Vacation Days. There
were also a number of solos given
by the High School students. Then
came the greatest achievement of
all, the Junior Chorus. They sang
Stars of the Summer Night, Handel's
Largo, Bells of st. Mary's, o! No,
John, Russian Vesper Hymn, Massas
In De Cold Cold Ground, and Old
Black Joe. This chorus was so large
that there was no room for the di-
rector on the stage. The sight of so
many children singing with all their
hearts was very impressive and Mil
ford High School has never before
had such an entertainment.

Seniors Make
WHOOPEE
On Class Night
Teachers Receive Usual knocks

Glass night is one of the most i'm
pOrtant part of the annual gradua-
tion. Then the seniors have the op-
portunity to repay everyone they
owe a kindness or a grudge. The
class, as united body is presented
to the public for the first time and
good impression must be made.
This year the Glass of 81 had for
it's motto "Vive Labeur," which
translated means Long Live Labor"
for it's colors, black and gold, and
for it's flower, the black-eyed susan.
The president of the class, Robert
Yerkes, made an address and intro
duced each member of the class with
a line of poetry. The committee
who gave the class history was COM
posed of Ruth Kitchens, Frances
Coulbourne, Mary Vinyard, and Jen-
ME Lee WoOtten. Ruth Kitchens al
so bestowed the flag for 1881, while
Gerald Wilson accepted it for 1882.
The prophecy, which is usually one
of the funniest parts of the program,
was given by Elizabeth James, JOS
hua Bennett, and Mildred Burlin-
game. The Senior Mantle was be-
slowed by Henry Sipple and Eva
Nailor accepted it for the Juniors.
The last and greatest part of the
program, except for the Glass Song
which was composed by Maxine
Grove, was the Last Will and Testa-
ment which was given by Kathryn
Morrison, Tom Williams and Town
send Parvis. This as usual afford
ed much merriment and was thor
oughly enjoyed by everyone. Some
of the prophecies were as follows:
A chair will be placed between the
door at Miss Kinder's end of the
hall so she may sit down between
classes, instead of standing as she
has done in the past. Ralph Reed
was left baton so he may lead the
orchestra next year with the help
