eff you didn't get seasick on
board, what did you do to pass
away the time?" was the interview
er's next question. The answer was,
"Just ate and slept"
Of course, she went on to tell,
there were a great many other
things one might do. Deck sports
were very popular-golf, tennis, and
quoits. Swimming pools, bridge
tournaments, a library and a ball
room also helped. One night was
celebrated as carnival night. At
dinner everyone wore fancy paper
caps and after dinner they danced
at masked ball. Prizes were Of
fered for the best costumes. One
which Miss Edna remembers espe-
cially was a woman in Spanish Co.'S
tune who wore gorgeous shawl.
"It was really dangerous for her
to wear it, for everyone would have
liked to own it," says our librarian.
They had jazz orchestra aboard,
of course, to furnish music for the
dances which were given every
night. Anyone would have enjoyed
that trip and been satisfied to stay
aboard just as Miss Edna did.

S. E. SUSSEX SCHOOL NOTES

Word has been received from the
Bureau of Art of the State Depart
ment of Public instruction that the
local art club of the Stockley school

By State To Transport
Milford Pupils

At four o'clock all the buses are
lined up to carry the children to
their homes from school, One bus,
having a double route, is driven by

goes out to get all the children who
live too long a distance to meet the

it this year, the new colOrs should
be blue and gold, representing the
State colors. Four of the buses are

new COACH HAS
WIDE EXPERIENCE
Holds Commission In u.
S. Army Reserves

Herbert Elliott, our new ccaeh,
who was born in East Port, Md,
cherished all during his high school
days a hope of going to the Annap-
oils Military Academy; but, luckily
for us, in his senior year he was
awarded a scholarship to the Wes-
tern Maryland College in Westmins-
ter, Md. He changed his plans and
graduated from there. His former
plans were in a. measure fulfilled, as
he holds a Second Lieutenant's
Commission in the U. S. Army Re-
serves.
Coach Elliott has taught cne year
in Pennsylvania and four in Virgin
ia and has travelled in thirteen
states along the Atlantic Coast.
Besides teaching" remarked Mr..
Elliott, 81 have done practically ev-
cry kind of work from working on
a farm to being host in a sum-
mer hotel in Vermont"
Although he is interested in all
sports, Coach Elliott is most inter
ested in golf, tennis, and canoeing.
He is expecting football to be diff
cult because last year was our first
year of this sport, but, he thinks
that if a good spirit is developed,
the team will be better than most
people expect.
Our coach is of medium height,
rather stout, has dark wavy hair
and always is smiling. He also
wears dark-rimmed glasses. Already
he is becoming great favofibe'
with all the students. Let us all do
as much as possible to make this
Coach Elliott's most pleasant as
well as his most successful year!

SENIOR IS ONE TO
GIVE FIRST BOOK
REPORT OF YEAR
Mildred KINNEY Sets Ex-
ample For School. Two
Others Follow

The first book report ON outside
reading to be given this fall was
given the first day of school by Mil
dred KINNEY, a senior. Two other
girls followed suit on the same
day. They were Eleanor Bunstein,
and ElVa Davis. Apparently there
is something to that old belief that
the Seniors are the wisest people
in school"
The underclaSSmen are following
suit rapidly, however, and if there
are no broken appointments with
teachers during the term there will
probably be no broken hearts in
June when promotion time comes
around.
Miss Barker, our librarian, reports
that during the first five days of
school, 140 books were borrowed
from the high school library. In
this number were included the few
new books that have been added
since last year.
In spite of many additions both
from school funds and the private
libraries of various teachers, the
high school library is still very in
adequate. Already pupils and tea
chers are missing the help prOvid-
ed by the town library authorities
last year when they so kindly al
lowed Miss Barker to bring books to
us from their shelves.
Ways and means are under con-
sideration now for providing bet
ter library-so don't give up hope.

PROF. HUDSON TO
LEAD ORCHESTRA
AT HIGH SCHOOL
To Continue The Fine.
Work OF Last Year Is
His Aim

Prof. Arthur Hudson, an instru-
mental and vocal teacher in the,
State of Delaware will instruct the
Milford High School Orchestra ev-
cry Wednesday. AS yet the program
has made little progress due to the,
conflicts in the schedules of the stu
dents, but we are sure things will
look better this coming week. Prof.
Hudson expects to see the orches-
ira make great strides. You all can
remember the very creditable work
that was done last year by this or
chestra. This was all made possible.
because our director took such
pains to develop a high school or
chestra that Milford could be proud
of. In the orchestra last year we
had fourteen members and we ex--
pect many more this year.

SENIORS APPOINT
PLAY COMMITTEE
Three To Choose Comedy
To Be Given In November

Already, the president of the Sen
ior class, Robert Reed, has appoint
ed Kathlyn Sapp as chairman of a
committee OF three to find a good
comedy to be given in November for
the benefit of the class. The other
members are William DOering and
ElVa Davis.
AS you know, the Seniors have
been giving plays for years-some-
times home talent, sometimes Chau-
tauqua-to help pay their expenses
on a trip to the national capital,
Washington. 1t is the hope of ev-
cry Senior class to be able to go,
but without your cooperation the
hope would never be realized. This
class is no exception.
Remember your interest in the
play will help them and you.

Library At High School Is Growing
Gradually

Milford High School has quite a
large library kept by the librarian,
Miss Barker. The library is open
only from nine o'clock in the morn
ing until four in the afternoon, for
the school students.
At the beginning of last year ev-
eryone was delighted to find IN the
new high school a library and a
librarian. The books from the old
school were taken to the new one,
where they found new places on
new shelves.
A few new books were added to
the library last year. During Sep

Built At Rear OF
The Building

Last Tuesday school started and
The doors were opened at five min
utes to nine. The pupils were as
signed to different rooms where the
task of deciding which subjects to
take was completed.
There have been a few changes
made since last year, Two rooms
are being constructed between the
Cafeteria and Mrs. Rosa's room. One
room is to be fifty feet long and an
other thirty-four feet long. The
room fifty feet long will contain
chairs for the people eating at the
school. The thirty-four foot room
will be a classroom with movable
desks in it.
A new wing, three stories high, is
also being built at the rear Of the
building. One of these rooms Will
be a nurses room.
Two tennis courts have been built
since last year. Pupils play on
them every day at noon and after
school.
Several new teachers have re-
Gently come to this school to teach.
The school now has a new sthletic
teacher, a music teacher. French
and English teachers, Home Eco
Monies and a nurse. The teachers
who previously taught these sub
jects have gone to other places to
teach.
Several new pupils have come to
the new school this year, and few
of the students who graduated last
year have come back taking a Post
graduate course. Except for Robert
Stidham of Ohio, most of these post
graduate students graduated from
the Milford High School.

feeling rather proud of new Frig-
idaire which has been installed in
our Home Economics room.
1t has lots of room inside and nice

plan to enable them to get acquaint-
ed with the other pupils. He wants
a committee selected from each

activities. Then he wants the COM
mittees from the High School to
meet with that from the Junior
High in order that the pupils from
the Senior High may also get ac-
quainted with those from the Jun

CIRCUS IN MILFORD ON
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

The Hunt Circus, which for the
past thirty-six years has been a
tented organization in the amuse-
ment world, with Charles T. Hunt,
its veteran manager, is scheduled to
visit Milford on Saturday, Septem-
ber 10, for two complete perform
ances.
Mr.. Hunt has owned and operated
his own show from the days that all
vehicles were horse-drawn, until
now; he has graduated with the
times and has completely moderniz-
ed his show until it is the last word
in motorized circuses.
"The Masterpiece of all Motorized
Shows" is the synonym under which
the Hunt shows now travel. Every
thing is transported upon a feet of
fast moving motor trucks and the
show moves with speed and econ
omy never before attained in the
history of show business.
Each horse, each animal, every
piece of paraphernalia is loaded in
their own particular car, and travel
over the broad highways from town
to town. This economy enables the,
Hunt Circus to visit towns and play
towns that have been unable to see,
these large circuses transported up
on the railroad, due to inadequates
unloading and trackage facilities.
We stop and wonder that if in
the future, sometime, an advance
agent won't stop in our community
and say that he wants to make ar
rangements for the accommodation
of a circus transported by aeros
planes, so fast do the various,
changes of things take place in
modern times.

Extreme Heat Leads To Early Dis
miSSal On Friday

Day by day in every way it got
hotter and hotter at the grammar
school last week particularly in the
portable building which houses the
sixth grades.
The climax was finally reached on
Friday when the thermometer in at
least one room climbed to 101 de-

About that time a member of the
school board arrived on the scene
and, seeing the plight of pupils and
teachers, had classes dismissed.
Children who lived in town were
sent directly to their homes. Other
children we kept outside in what
ever shade could be found until the
buses arrived.
