Senior Class Song
|.
It was with Miss Ross we started
In the dear old Grammar School
And was then that we were given
The just laws and perfect rule;
1t was with sad hearts we parted
With a friend and we did sigh,
But 'tis this we all must do if we
Would enter Milford High.
CHORUS
Milford High, now to you goodbye!
From work and play we must turn
away
To meet the stress of life.
Oh, Milford High, as the years pass,
we will try
TO ne'er forget the creed you set,
Nor falter in the strife.
II.
AS Freshman class we labored,
Followed rules as they were met,
And as Sophomores too we strUg-
gled
And such marks as we did getl
Then Junior days so happy
When we played the long hours
through.
AS Seniors, wise and dignified,
We bid farewell to you.

Student, Athlete, And
Executive Roles Played
By Ruth Kitchens

Ruth Kitchens has been the one
who has been detailed to give our
readers glimpses into the private
affairs of our Senior girls. And right
well has she done it, too. But we
couldn't trust her to tell about her.
self. For in spite of the fact that
she smiles on everyone, we do be-
lieve that Ruth is a wee bit bash
full.
Besides being very good student
Ruth has found time to so out for
basket ball every year in the winter
and track in the spring. During her
last year she has been very cap
able treasurer for her class and has
been the custodian for more than n
thousand dollars. Outside of school
she has been interested in various
thingsg among them the Girl Re-
serves of which she was president.

Examination Exemptions

This last half of the school year
a new plan was adopted, For some
time there have been no exemptions
from exams no matter what the
averages were. But Mr.. Boston says
that the school gets a generous
streak about once every three years
and this year everybody whose aver
age was above rs per cent was ex-
empt.
On the bulletin board in the study
hall is list of those pupils who
had to take the examinations. If
their marks were better during the
last week of school and were high
enough to raise their average to
passing their names were markd off
the list with red pencil.
A very unusual thing happened
this year. Every one in both Chem
istry and Trigonometry was exempt.
Congratulations Glass. .,

GYM
CLASSES TAKE
UP SWIMMING
Mr.. BOwdIe Will Not Be
A Member Of Faculty
Next School Term.

In the course of the last week,
great enthusiasm has been shown by
the gym classes. Swimming has
been introduced into the classes and
now they are all full.
The swimming activities have
been taking place at Haven Lake un-
der the able supervision of Coach
Bowdle, who is a qualified Red Cross
Life Saver. He teaches those who
don't know how to swim the more
useful strokes and criticizes and in
structs the better swimmers that
they may have more efficient meth
cd. Besides the swimming, Mr.. Bow
die has the boys to take other eX-
ercise, such as running, when tired
of the water. In this way the pupils
get more exercise than they did be-
fore. All the pupils, of course, wear
their own suits, and the school fur
nishes towels to each pupil to pre-
vent cold. Parents need not be
afraid to let their children bring
their suits and participate i'll these
activities, as they may be assured
that their children have a we'll
trained supervisor.
On Wednesday of last week
swimming mass was held at the lake
at four o'clock, under Mr.. Bowdle,
to which all the High School was in
vited. There will be an absent one
next year in our faculty. One who
has done much for the athletic part
of our school and is liked by all. Mr..
BOwdle has announced that, at the
termination of this school term, he
will leave for parts unknown"

Over Two Thousand
Books Borrowed From
'''''' The School Library
Seventeen Lost During Year

Seventeen Lost During Year
At the beginning of the year we
had on our shelves in the school
library 1891 books. During the year
there have been 80 books added,
making a total of 1868. OF course
there is always a lot of wear and
tear on books and there have been
10 books discarded. Seventeen have
been lost. From this library, there
have been 2146 books borrowed of
which 9O4 were nOn-fiction. From
the Free Public Library there have
been borrowed 1911 by the students
of the school of which 1924 were
non-fiction. The fines have been col
lected for the books overdue which
amounted to seventeen dollars and
fifty cents ($17.50).
The magazines which we have and
which have been very popular are:
Geographic, Popular Science, Popu-
lar Mechanics, Nature Magazine. We
ought to be very proud of our Ii
brary, and also, we owe lot to Miss
Barker who is always on the job
to find what we want.

"THE TOWERS"
Once IIarbOred A Confederate Mes
Senger

The last drop in this years his,
tory articles is tumbling out of the
bucket. Splash! 1t landed. See il
is forming a red and green house
with a red tower. Yes, it is "Tht
Towers" ON the corner of North
Front and North streets.
The house was originally built in
1898 by Mr.. John Wallace. Then il
was a dwelling and storehOuse COM
bined. Most of the boys and girls OF
town went there to hear Miss Wal
lace play on her piano, which was
one of the first in town. Just before
leaving they had to have something
to eat. The colored cook always had
cake and cider for them ON the side
board
Their friend, John Lofland, "The
Milford Bard" lived in the third
story. There he wrote some of his
best poems. Mr.. John Wallace left
the house to his son, Thomas Wal
lace, who sold it to Mr.. Henry Hill.
At Mr.. HilPs death the house was
left to Mrs. Ann Hill Burton.
The Burtons, of course, were the
next to live in the house. At the
time of the Civil War Governor Bur-
ton was Provost-Marshall as well as
governor. 1t was during this time
cousin from the south came to
spend an evening with him. He, the
cousin, first stopped at the house of
Governor Burton's brother-in-law,
Mr.. VIM. Hill, who lived next door.
Mrs. Hill invited him to stay all
night with them. He refused. The
next morning he went back to Mrs.
Hills. 1t was then that he told her
that he was carrying important pa
pers from the south to Baltimore,
because of which he had felt he
would only be safe in Governor Bur-
toms home, since it would not have
been searched, and he made her
promise not to tell Governor Burton
till he had been gone twenty-fouE
hours.
After the twenty-four hours had
passed, she went over to Governor
Burton's and told him whom she
had been entertaining. Although he
was angry, he could do nothing.
The store part of the house was
rented to several different people,
among whom were Smith and Wicks,
and Peter Lofland. One of the men
who kept store there (neither of
hose named) was very stingy ESQ it
IS todd, so stingy and lazy that
when he killed fly and it fell into
he mOlasses, he would eat the mo-
asses and all.
The daughter of Governor Burton,
who lived in the "Silver Hill" house
while he was a doctor, married Mr..
Nootten. They lived in "The Tow
eTs" for short time. When Mrs.
WOOtten married again she chose
Mr.. r. b. Roudabush. Soon after her
second marriage she had the house
