FIFTH
GRADES LEARN
ABOUT STATE
Interesting Project In
State History

Miss Watson's section of the fifth
grade is making quite an interest
ing and enthusiastic study of the
State of Delaware. Beginning with
the study of "Lewes in Colonial
Days." these boys and girls are
finding out how the colonists of
each nation were influenced by the
equable climate, the close setting of
seashore with the fringe of green
woods, and the game easily avail
able there so that seafood was not
the sole item of support.
The continued study is showing
that each nation left its significant
names and customs.
During the art period few of
the boys and girls made, Dutch dolls
in commemoration of the Tercenten-
ary of the landing of the Dutch at
Lewes.
With this as a nucleus, the study
has grown into a real project and is
being developed from two questions
which were brought before the
class: First, Do you know your
States Star; second, Does Della
ware deserve to be called the "Dia-
mond State?"
Through the correlation of geo
graphy and history, the following
topic-problems were listed for the
purpose of answering these ques-
tions in a more satisfactory way:
does the location of the State
help?
2-Is her soil and climate favor
able for agriculture?
3-Has she developed worthwhile
industries?
4-Has she good markets for her
products?
5-Has she transportation facili-
ties?
6-What are her natural resour-
ces? ~.
What place does she hold in
history?
Booklets on Delaware were pro-
cured by the teachers from the State
Board of Agriculture and placed in
the hands of each pupil. These
booklets are being used during both
the geography and history periods.
Other reference material has been
assembled, and indeXed
for this study. Booklets with attrac-
tive covers are being made as art
work by each pupil. These booklets
include information gotten from the
various reference material, and the
maps and drawings given to them
to color add much to the booklet.

The routine work of the School
Nurse consisted of the following
979 pupils were weighed in order
that comparison might be made with
previous weights on record, showing
gain or less; 525 pupils were exam
ined one or more times ON account
of the Clean Teeth Honor Roll COM
petition among the various rooms in
the Elementary School.
One case of Trench Mouth was
| found in the school and one other in
the same family at home. DR.. Clyde
Nelson of The l.. d. Caulk Company
very kindly administered Is treat
ments and as result no other cases
developed.
The School Nurse conducted eight
special classes on the care of the
teeth and proper nutrition.
Twelve home visits were made
and parents interviewed.
Five pupils were taken to their
physicians one or more times. Fif-
teen other children were taken home
because they were too ill to remain
in school. Sixteen children were
taken care of while i'll in the
Nurses room.
Six children were taken to the
Chest Clinic for examination with
parental consent.
During the month two cases of
ChickenpOX and ten cases of WhoOp-
ing Cough were reported.
Seventy-one pupils were treated
for various injuries in the Nurses
room.
AS Outcomes of the work of the
School Nurse and Doctors, one case
of tonsils was operated on; three
pupils were fitted with glasses; and
arrangements were made for one
crippled child to be admitted to the
Delaware Hospital following the Or
thOpedic Clinic reported in Febru-
ary. Consent of the parents has been
obtained, the clerk of the peace has
promised that the Levy Court of
Kent County will pay six weeks of
hospital expense and the hospital
agrees to accept the patient as soon
as there is a vacant bed.
The projected new work of this
department, previously mentioned,
regarding tuberculosis Prevention
was started during this month. One
thousand questiOnnaires were distri
buted to the homes and brought
back by the children through which
information on the history of con-
tagious diseases, including Tubercu-
losis, in various families was OBJ
tanned. Following this, slips will be
sent out in April to secure the con-
sent of parents and guardians for
the children involved to be given
the Manteau tuberculosis Suscepti-
bility Test by Dr. Sargent of the
State Board of Health in May.

CUP WON FIRST
CLASSOF 1909
Contributed Member To
Present Faculty

In the fall of 1908, when the class
of 'O9 first began to exist as the
Senior Glass, Mr.. Carl Allen held the
distinction of being the only mascu-
| line member of the class. Later in
the year he lost this honor and ac-
quiesced to Mr.. Roland Peet's mem
bership, Mr.. Peet having come from
another vicinity.
A goodly percentage of the class
of 1909 were graduating this year
with some objective other than
settling down." Evidently this was
due to the reconstruction work
done by the principal, Mr.. T. A. Hoo
yer, the year preceding this. He for
ced the student body to realize that
they must select some sort of course
and helped students, who cared for
it, see the way to advanced educa-
tion. Geometry, German, and other
academic studies were added to the
school curriculum.
The interclass defamation con-
test was originated in the year 1908.
This class of 1909 held the honor of
being. the first class to win the cup
by its representatives.: Miss Helen
Tatman and Miss Mildred Truitt.
Straw rides every Friday night be-
came a regular thing with the mem
bers of the class of '09, together in
this they enjoyed those fleeting high
school moments, thus becoming
quite intimate.
IN ho nh fhis ho

ed by the following incident, it in
dulged in bit of wild fun.
At noon one day as a crowd of
boys and girls were fastening to
school, a terrible dOwnpOur of rain
came suddenly upon Them Wright's
corner being convenient, they imme-
diately punched in there to wait for
the rain to clear up. Several of the
boys were missed from the party a
short time. When they appeared
again, they informed the girls that
because of weather conditions they
had learned through some source
that there would be no school that
afternoon. Innocent and unsuspect-
ms lhCy NhC GAl ACLul hCd
home to enjoy the free afternoon.
The next morning by other students
they were informed that the school
had been held that rainy afternoon.
Then they realized that they mad
been made the subjects of a jest ON
the part of the boys.
In this class were Miss Emma
Capehart-Mrs. Jones of Lincoln;
Miss Anna Harrington of Philadel-
phia; Mr.. Roland Peet of Whining

WHO'S WHO OF
SENIOR CLASS
Elizabeth Vreeland, Mr..
BOstOn's Successor

We can just picture Elizabeth
Vreeland sitting on the desk ex-
pounding to a half-interested class
the advantages of a world peace-or
something. Yes, that's what Eliza
beth Vreeland intends to be, his
tory teacher like Mr.. Boston. What
ambition! Only it wouldn't make
much difference to her whether the
poor kids learned anything or not.
She's Indifferent that way.
Lib is seventeen years old, or
rather she was on January 81. She
was born in the same house that
she now lives in, which is just at
the edge of Lovett's Nursery. For
one year she attended the Cedar
Grove School and then she came to
Milford. She was then a plump,
chubby little darling with black hair
great big blue eyes, and very in
dependent manner. She has since
changed quite a little. l remember
her quite well when we were in the
eighth grade. She was Mrs. Water
houses best geography student, and
how she knew that stuff! She very
rarely missed. She was another
Queen Elizabeth in geography class.
In high school Elizabeth has TAX
en- a general course including all of
the academic subjects. She expects
to go to Delaware next year to
major in history. Strangely enough
CD her favorite subject is history.
She has most of her trouble with
mathematics, in fact she is repeat
ing Plane Geometry because her
grade was not high enough for col
lege entrance.
We said that Lib was short and
plump when she was little, but she
isn't that way any more. She is five
feet three and quarter inches tall,
has black hair, and light blue eyes.
Those eyes are one of her best fea-
lures. They are so blue that even
the whites are blush. Another thing
about them, when she laughs very
hard they fill with tears, and the
first thing you know, you can't tell
whether she's laughing or crying,
Her favorite color is blue, of course.
1t matches those eyes. Another col
or she wears well is yellow, even if
it doesn't match them. Her hobbies
are swimming, driving, and reading.
She drives a green Essex and she
always looks as if she were in
hurry to get somewhere. Her hair
blows in her face, and she looks so
determined. A little bird told us she
doesn't like the song, ut Happened
in Monterey" Why, we don't know.
Maybe we shouldn't even have said
that But there is one more thing
we can't resist asking. Did she ever
find those blue buttons that belong
ed on her silk dress? She lost them
two years ago.

Baseball News

In a ball game marked at times
by good, and then by bad playing,
FELTON, defeated Milford, last We'd
nesday.
Milford started the game like a
championship combine, and soon, by
some nice hitting obtained six to
one lead. Nice fielding by the Mil
ford players, and fine pitching by
Frank Hall held FELTON, practically
helpless for the first part of the
game. Then FELTON, started slowly
gaining and in the eighth, tied the
score and then went ahead. Smoot
relieved Hall on the mound in this
inning. Previously, Milford had also
knocked the FELTON, starting pitcher
from the box.
This is the third league game Mil
ford has lost in the late innings by
one run.

High School Group
Plays At Banquet

Last Thursday night, May 10, a
group from the Milford High School
Orchestra played at the Delaware
State Poultry Association Banquet
which was held in the Varney Audi
torium at the Community Building.
The banquet started at z o'clock
with the orchestra playing march.
During dinner the guests sang un-
der the direction of Mr.. Fred A. Sui
ger and his pianist from Philadel-
phia.
Following the banquet, DR.. Fran
els B. Short made a short talk. This
was both interesting and funny. At
ter DR.. Shorts address came the
business meeting. This lasted uEt:l
about quarter after ten.
Then came the big part of the
evening, five acts of vaudeville also
under the direction of Mr.. Fred A.
Sulzer. These were all very good.
Mr.. Sulzer is a Snowman of some
forty years experience and puts on
nothing but high class shows.
The High School group enjoyed
playing very much for this occasion.

WHO'S WHO OF
SENIOR CLASS
Introducing Alice Breme,
Former Editor, Actress
And Playwright

Alice Breme who is petite, dark
hair and sixteen Joined our class in
the sixth grade, coming from
MoorestOwn, New Jersey. She has
made rapid strides on the road to
success. While in grammar school
she held her ONn in spelling. She
participated in county and state
matches. So much for Alice's gram
mar school. Entering high school
she has been very active. She soon
became a member of the glee club
and took part in the operetta,
Miniature Lady," her freshman
year. Not content with this she has
been in two other plays, Betty
Lou" and High Fliers." Alice par
ticularly liked Betty Lou" She
will not tell us why, but some of us
have all idea. Having played the role
of actress, she decided to try writing
a play. The result was. the senior
play, "Farnhurst Jewels" which ev-
erybOdy recalls. Alice has been con-
tent to watch her classmates win the
games, although she has not been
much interested in athletics. In mu-
sic Alice has always been interest
ed. She plays the violin very cred
itably. For the last three years she
has been an active member of the
high school orchestra. During her
freshman and sophomore years she
represented our class in the high
school oratorical contest. Her efforts
were rewarded, because we won the
cup our freshman year. We mustn't
forget that Alice has been editor of
the School News of this paper twice
and is as at the present time an ac-
tive and interesting writer. She also
rather likes the idea of giving inter
views. She has been very busy this
year. Besides, getting "A's" she
wrote the Senior play. This is the
first time a class in this school has
been able to write their own play
and then present it to the public for
their approval.
At the present time she is taking
six subjects Alice likes English and
history the best of her subjects and
intends to become a journalist. She
wants to continue her work at Del
aware College. Although Alice is
busy with her school work she al
ways has time to help promote the
interests of the class. She is very
popular with her school chums and
has many friends. Our Senior class
is interested in her success and
wishes to take this time to extend
our good wishes for bright future.
Editors NOte-As the reader may
have suspected, the above was writ
ten by a person who obviously does
not intend to tell all he knows. He
might at least have paid tribute to
your big eyes and soft voice, Alice,
for after all you have been a living
proof to us of the fact that "beauti-
full" and dumb" are not always |
synonyms.

Nurses Report For April

During the month of April, the
health work in the Milford Schools
consisted of the following:
DR.. Smith, the County Physician
for the State Board of Health,
worked in our District, and made
one thousand examinations for de-
fective teeth and tOnsils. Notices of
such defects are being sent to the
parents of the pupils involved. In
addition to this, the School Nurse
made 935 routine examinations CT
teeth in order to assist the teachers
in preparing their weekly Honor
Rolls for Clean Teeth in the various
rooms of the Elementary School.
One child who is a graduate of the
Colored School was taken by the
Nurse to the Delaware Hospital in
Wilmington to undergo an opera
tiOn.
The Nurse made weight records OF
165 children at the ColOred School.
The Nurse made 20 home visits to
interview parents and ten visits to
interview physicians with reference
to various pupils in the schools.
Eight pupils were taken by the
Nurse to physicians offices for
treatments.
During the month there were re-
ported seven cases of Mumps; one
case of Scarlet Fever, which is since
recovered and back in school; and
two cases of Whooping Cough. Dur
ing April, one first grade room was
closed for four days at the period
when it was suspected that Mumps
might develop since a case had been
found in the room nearly three
weeks before. Fortunately there
was no spreading of the disease and
only a few scattering cases are eX-
pected to develop during the le-
mainder of the school year.
Fifteen pupils who were not ill
enough to be sent home were taken
care of in the Nurses room until
dismissal time. Sixty-two others
were treated for minor injuries.

More Than Twenty Teams
Playing Scheduled Games

This season the Milford Schools
are able to boast of twenty-five ac-
tive baseball teams playing we'll or
ganized schedules.
The elementary school consists of
seven baseball teams; four in the
fourth grade, and three in the fifth.
There seven teams are organized in
to a league.
In Junior High School in the sixth
grade there are five teams which
make up a league by themselves.
The seventh and eighth grades make
up a league consisting of six teams,
three from each grade. A picked
team from these two grades recently
played Houston Grammar School,
losing three games and winning one
The ninth, tenth, eleventh and
twelfth grades also have formed a
league. The junior varsity, ninth
and tenth grades. played two games
with Lincoln Grammar School, win
ming them both to the tune of II to
TO and to 5.
The coach of the baseball teams
recently said that if these leagues
had been organized few years ago
the teams would be much better
equipped this year.

SENIORS WIN
OVER JUNIORS
First Inter-Class Game

Last Thursday afternoon at 2:SO
the Seniors played the Juniors in
the first interclass high school base
ball game of the season and what a
game it was. 1t looked as if the
Juniors would run away with the
Seniors for a while, but things soon
changed, and at the end of seven
innings the score was a tie to 5.
The tie was played off and the Sen
iors were victorious by one run.
1t certainly looked good to see
Gerald Wilson and Ralph Reed back
at the old game. Reed is remember
ed as the first baseman ON the
Grammar School team back in 1929.
Wilson is remembered as the cat
cher on the famous M. P. Sunday
School Baseball Team at the same
time. Wilson hasn't caught behind
the bat since he has been in high
school, and Reed hasn't played since
his freshman year. They both play
ed a fine game. We hope it didn't
make them sore.
The lineup for the game was as
follows:
Seniors-G. Wilson, c; l. Clendan-
