TEACHER COACH
GRADUATED AT
PENNA. COLLEGE
Boys Admire His Sports
manship; Girls Envy
His Curly Hair

Mr.. Hanna, our new French teach
er, first graduated from the West
Nottingham Academy in Colora,
Maryland. From there he attended
the Lafayette College in Easton,
Pennsylvania, where his major Sub
ject was mathematics. While there
he was a member of the Phi Kappa
Tau Fraternity. He also played
football, which is his favorite sport,
at college.
Now in Milford High School, he is
assistant coach and has one class
in Physical Education. He is very
popular with both the girls and the
boys. Besides his work in the a+h-
letic department he teaches English
and spelling in the Junior High
School and has two classes of
French in Senior High.
He has suggested to a number of
the Seniors that they have a class
annual He said he would like to
help but he is very, very busy and
could only attend to the business
end of it. Perhaps that's pretty
good idea, at least it would be some
thing new.
Mr.. Hanna is little over medium
height, blonde with blue eyes, and
the boys call him a good sport. All
the girls are envying his permanent
wave. Won't you please tell us
where you got it, Mr.. Hanna?

NeIU Secretary Tells
About The Girl Reserves
Girls Of Milford High Called To
Assembly

On Wednesday, September 80, all
the girls in Milford Junior and Sem
ior High School were called to the
auditorium! where a meeting was
held to talk about the Girl Re-
serves Club. Miss Buckwalter, the
new secretary of the club was
there and gave an interesting little
talk about what the Girl Reserves
really are. what they do in the clubs
and what good times they have. Af-
ter that Mill Good, of the Y. w. c..
A, gave talk. Then several of the
girls who have attended the club for
several years told us what they had
been doing the years that they have
belonged. They have done some
very interesting things like going
on hikes and having hot dog roasts
and so forth. Last year Miss Bow
ser, nurse at the Marshall Hospi-
tai, gave them few lessons in
nursing, which they all enjoyed.
Slips of paper were then passed to
the girls who wanted to Join the Girl
Reserves on which to sign their
names and addresses. There were
quite few girls anxious to join.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

Did you ever go to a football
game or basketball game to watch
your team play? Did you ever feel
a lump come into your throat and
want to be out there fighting, too?
Did you ever shout and stamp your
feet and sing until you were ready
to drop? Did you ever walk around
for days afterward with the light of
victory in your eyes and heart?
Were you ever hoarse for about a
week rs a result of yelling? And If
you suffered defeat did you ever
laugh and take it like a good
sport? If you have done all these
things you know what school spirit
is. If you haven't then you've miss
ed big thrill.
The pep meetings that have been
held in our school are for the pur-
pose of rousing more and more
school spirit. The pupils have
practiced songs and yells under the
direction of Miss Fielder and Coach
Elliott. The cheer leader, Town
send Parvis, is postgraduate, and
although better one could not be
found, perhaps it would be well for
him to have helper Cor an under
study. Who will volunteer for
that job? Don't all speak at once,
please.
Last Friday at the Milford-Salis-
bury game played in Milford, some
of the high school girls did get to-
gether to yell and sing. However,
you can imagine their chagrin when
the players said that they never
heard it. Now what we ought to do
is give them some cheering they
CAN hear. When one courageous
group get together the rest of the
student body should join them and
really make the other team sit up
and take notice. So this week when
Milford plays FELTON, here at home
let everyone do his part; for if you
don't think it helps the team just
ask any player on it and see if he
doesn't say-"It's great to play
when you've someone behind you to
root for you"

Booster Meeting
Ends With Music

Both the Junior and Senior High
School students enjoyed an assem-
bly, held on Wednesday, September
80 for the purpose of getting CO.
operation and support from the
school for the football team.
Mr.. Elliott, our new coach, gave a
talk on the value of team work in
any form of athletics and had us
practice a few yells which were led
by our school cheer leader, Town
send Parvis.
After an excellent response to
two yells, he had our music teach
er, Miss Fielder, teach us several
songs to be sung during the football
game. One, sung to the tune of
John Browns Body, is as follows:
1t isn't any trouble just to Smile
1t isn't any trouble just to Smile
And if we lose we do not choose
To pout or cry or get the blues
Just hear us sing and watch us
While we Smile.
Clinton Hall, the captain of the
football team, also gave few re-
marks on football and was follow
ed by Mr.. Shilling and Mr.. Hanna
who spoke few words on different
subjects.

head of a barracuda which he
caught. Today he carries the scars
that fellow gave him, and seeing
the teeth in that ugly mouth one al
most wonders why those scars
aren't larger. The barracuda was
five feet long, and weighed forty
pounds, and you can't say that is a
fish story" because the head
proves that it isn't. Over the man
tie, across from the door is a pic
ture of his boat. Around it are lit
tie bronze figures and three Indian
stone hatchets of which he is very
proud, and you can't blame him.
They are perfect in contour, with
out a chip broken off, an example of
the implements used by our Am
erican Inoians.
In his bedroom, Mr.. Mulholland
has number of pictures. Some of
them he has painted himself. Others
are of the squad of Mounted Police
to which he belonged when he was
eighteen. At one window is work
bench where he makes his own fish
ing rods, and experiments with any
thing else he wants. He had on it a
little wooden knife and work sent
to him from Japan. These were very
interesting to him because his COM
pany manufactures wooden spoons,
and they were interesting to us be-
cause of their daintiness.
After seeing the house we do not
wonder why Mr.. MulhOlland's heart
is wrapped up in it. He has in it
every convenience one can think of
hot water, bathroom, and cleo
trio lights. In fact the whole place
spells comfort to the nth degree.
But that house isn't all. We have
yet to see Sunset Lodge. The porch
around the Lodge is surrounded by
rustic rails. 1t faces west, and
looks out over the water. Under il
there are showers and bath houses
ready for use at any time. Inside
there are two rooms. The living
room contains a piano. a table, a
phonograph, bookcase, boxing
gloves, and more pictures. One of
them is of Calvin Coolidge, and be-
meath it is written '"To John H.
Mulholland with Regards, Calvin
Coolidge" The sleeping room is
like a dOrmitory in camp. A num-
Der of beds are lined in a row down
the whole length of the room. Six
teen people can be accommodated in
it and have a jolly time, for Sunset
Lodge is the place to have really
good time.
The whole place was modelled at
ter a camp which Mr.. Mulholland
saw in New Hampshire. Pen can
hardly do it justice, for even the
location seems made to order. We
can only hope that this satisfactor-
lily explains things, after the host
was so kind as to bive the material.
Only one thing spoiled the inter
view - Mr.. Mulholland didn't know
anything about the School News!
What a come-down for us! Yet he
said he only gave the interview be-
cause we came from the school,
otherwise we would have been tur-
ned away empty-handed. Well, any
how that is a little comfort for we
might have missed seeing that love-
ly place-the Brentwood Club.

Class Rings Being
ShOIUn Junior Committee

Sometime in September Mr.. Shil-
ling sent word to the various COM
panies who usually display rings to
the Juniors that they might come to
see the pupils any time after nine
o'clock on October 1, for the pur-
pose of showing samples. At exact
ly nine the ring committee, Ellen
Sipple, Henry Bunstein and Ethel
Collins, were sent word that man
with rings was waiting in the office
for them. OF course everyone was
excited and the three hurried to the
office Mr.. Stokes, representing the
Elliott Company of Philadelphia,
was there Among the other sam
pies he displayed was copy for a
ring designed especially for the
class of '33, ring typical of Della
ware.
Also on the same day came Mil
lard F. Davis from Wilmington and
Siedle G Humphreys from Philadel-
phia. Later on in the week Jenkins
& Sons, Inc, sent a representative
from Baltimore. From each display
we selected several rings. Three or
four are to be chosen from this
group and on Thursday or Friday
the class will be allowed to vote on
the ring they wish to have as their
class ring. We hope that every
thing will soon be settled and the
order sent in so that the company
chosen may begin to work on our
rings.

DENTAL WORK IN
GRAMMAR SCHOOL
The Riddles Are In For
A Treat

When Miss Madelyn Smith, the
county dental worker, came to Mil
ford to see what kind of a place
she was going to work in she imme-
diately declared that she liked it
better than any other town in
which she'd been. Miss Mary E..
Wagner, the State Dental Director,
brought her and her friend, Miss
Mary Geraghty and they were en-
tertained by Miss Cubbage, our
nurse, at the grammar school. The
two girls, both of whom graduated
from Temple last year, are at pres
ent working in Georgetown where
they expect to be finished in about
two weeks. From there their paths
separate; Miss Smith comes to Mil
ford and Miss Geraghty goes some
where else. AS they have to go
through all the schools in Sussex
County during this term, they can
afford to lose no time. Their work
is to examine the teeth of all the
children in the first three grades
and clean them-the teeth that is;
then they give health talks to the
first six grades. This of course is
done in both the colored and the
white schools, so the girl will be
kept busy for at least a month.
In the State of Delaware there
are six of these girls-three from
Temple and three from Penn. Miss
Smith with whom we are especially
concerned is not originally from our
little State, but from Chambers
burg, Pennsylvania. She is about
five fC@@ one or so with crooked
little smile that makes one like her
Immediately. She is cute-looking
and very much interested in his
tory. She says she will be very
glad to get in Milford because she
thinks it's an interesting place, and
the people have all been so nice to
her. She said she would like to
give a demonstration of how she did
her work to both of our schools.
Miss Wagner was sure it could be
arranged.
Both of them and Miss Cubbage
called attention to the fact that
free dental clinics are to be held in
Dover, and the local dentists are
giving their service free. Now why
should Dover get ahead of us?
Surely our dentists would be will
ing to give some of their time to the
school children. 1t would not by
any means be wasted Perhaps Miss
Smith with her friendly little smile
will be able to convince the town
that we too need a dental clinic.
Well, go to it, Miss Smith, we're all
for you, so see what you can do?

An all-State Chorus will soon be

Feidler. An Operetta will also be
given by them very shortly. At
Christmas time thay will give a

Mr.. and Mrs. Gildcrsleeve of Do
yer were at our school last Wednes-

of songs. Mrs. Giidersleeve will
start a Woman's Music Club in Mil
ford. She is the President of the
Federated Music Club of Delaware.
All the music teachers of Della
ware met in Dover last week and
had singing and other stage per-
formances. Our music teacher is
trying to get up one Of the best
Glee Clubs in the State. She says
that all of the members of the Glee
Club have good voices and that all
of them are capable of being in the
music club.

IN Blue ROMPERS
New Gym Costumes Col
OrfuI And Practical

Gym costumes for the girls arriv-
ed last week They are one piece
rompers made of blue Indianhead.
They button on the left shoulder
and have a placket on the left side.
There is a narrow belt to complete
the costume.
When Mr.. Elliott first saw the two
sample suits, he took them to three
teachers in the school, to see which
one was the best. All three teach
ers decided that the $.9S one was
just as good as the one which cost
SIPS. Immediately an order was
sent for sixty-eight suits. I'm sure
that our gym classes will look we'll

Last Friday Salisbury was de-
feated by Milford High School foot
bail team at the High School field
here. The game started about hall
past three o'clock. The whole stu
dent body had been dismissed to see
the game. There was plenty of good
cheering from this section. Local
people also contributed their share
which helped our team on to vic
tory. Both teams played a good,
hard, clean game. The final score
was Salisbury 7, Milford 21. Theo-

THE BENTWOOD CLUB
AND THE MAN WHO BUITIT

''I never speak for publication!
When the reporter had tried so
hard to get up with Mr.. John H.
Mulholland this outlook was mot
very cheerful. First he had fired a
number of questions over the phone
such as-Who are you? What do
you want? etc., until the reporters
head whirled, Finally he ended by
asking, "Do you still want to see
me?"
yves, sir" was the quavering
reply.
"Well, come on outcome on
out!"
So, with fearful heart, the inter
viewer braved the "lion in his den"
as it were, only to find that lions
were very nice when you knew
them. And anyhow his beautiful
Brentwood Club was enough to make
one forget everything else.
OF course, everyone in Milford
knows of this lovely place situated
on a convenient peninsula on Haven
Lake. The grounds around the
place are clean and neat. Every
here and there are rustic boxes fill
ed with blooming flowers, and some
of these boxes even are nailed
against the trees, high off the
ground, so that their scarlet heads
nod a welcome to you as you enter.
The asphalt roads which lead to the
house were built last year by Gov
ernor Townsend's son, Jack. Then,
too, in the grove beside the house is
a wooden platform, which is sur
rounded by rail, and which the
men use for boxing, while the wo-
men call it a dance floor.
Besides this Mr.. MulhOlland has
three canoes and an outboard mo-
tor to use when his guests want to
fish or row. Indeed they could new
er be dull while visiting the Bent
wood Club.
Inside, one finds that the house is
even more fascinating than the
grounds. AS soon as you enter the
hall you would know that the ow-
ner's great hobby was collecting.
This reception room is filled to ov-
eTuOWluS WIFI uSulll5 boShASS ASSASS
rods and a number of other inter-
esting things. Among them is a
German helmet used during the
Great War, a horse-hair bride, wo-
ven by an Indian prisoner in the
west. The prisoner was up for muir
der, and during his stay in Jail ask
ed for horse-hair with which to
make a bride. 1t, of course, is
hand woven, and today hangs in Mr..
Mulholland's reception hall. Then,
he has a piece of the bark of palm
tree, cut by the Hawaiians, with
beautiful odd designs burnt on it. |
This is probably one of the most
curious pieces of work to be found
in Delaware. On his desk is a fish
ing reel just like the one Zane Grey
uses, and it is no mean affair.
In the living room of the house, a
warm, comfortable room, which ov-
erlooks the lake, there hangs large
plaque. This more than anything
else attracts ones attention. 1t is
life-size dolphin, the largest caught
in Florida since 1928. You may |
have three guesses as to who caught |
it, Right! Our host himself. In
this room he also has mounted the
