In school he is a representative

being captain of the 1851 football

MRS. LILLER VISITS
ABROAD

One of our luckiest and most at
tractive faculty members had the
pleasure of visiting France, her ma
tive land, this summer
Mrs. Denise Liller and her son,
Bernard, left June 7th, on the
Queen Elizabeth for France to visit
her family She described the visit
as wonderful. Mrs. Liller favOrite
pastime, while there, was swim
ming. She toured the mountains
and had an enjoyable time climb
ing them again. She also visited
Paris where she got many up-tO-
date fashions Lucky Mrs. Liller
also got a very beautiful Swiss
watch in Marseille.
She went to her former college
and gave lectures on how the home
economics program was given to
the American students. During her
visit to the college she learned
many new tricks in dress-making.
She spent several days visiting
a Scout Camp.
A bad habit of Mrs. Liller's was
that she was always in the French
pastry shops. She said she gained
five pounds but lost it again when
she returned to the United States.
Mrs. Liller returned on the
Queen Mary, September 5th, with
a beautiful suntan and was just in
time to start her home economics
program at Milford High School

Mr.. Wilbur 7. Hoieht

Is there anyone who needs adj
vice? If there is, the science de-
partment of Milford High School
has a capable adviser available in
the person of MIR. Wilbur Haight,
who doubles as general science
and guidance counselor.
His nickname is "Bill". Bill was
in the Army as a Battalion Intelli-
gence Officer with a tank destroyer
command.
Mr.. Haight is unmarried. He now
classes his hometown as Milford,
although he was born in Johns
town, Pa.
AS a student he attended Cali
fOrnia State Teachers College and,
for advanced study, Pennsylvania
State College and the University
of Delaware. During these years of
study he became a member of three
honorary professional fraternities.
AS an instructor he has taught
at Culver Military Academy, Gull
YER, Indiana; Mount Lebanon,
Pittsburgh, Pa; Allison Park.
Pittsburgh, Pa, and the PsycholO-
gical Education Clinic of Pennsyl-
vania State College.
Some other things of interest
about Mr.. Haight are that he likes
cycling and restoring antique fur
niture. In addition, he chose teach
ing as a career because it seems
to be a family tradition to have at
least one teacher in each genera
ton.

DELAWARE DAY

Delaware Day will be observed
on December Z. 1851 This marks
the 164th anniversary of the rati-
ficatiOn of the Constitution of the
United States by the deputies of
the people of the State of Delaware.
Delaware became the FIRST state to
ratify the Constitution.
We all are familiar with the flag
of Delaware which was adopted
July "a, 1913. The date at the
bottom of the flag indicates the
ratification of the Constitution.
The evergreen holly was ap-
proved by the governor on May l,
1889 as the official state tree of
Delaware.
The Blue Hen, although long
recognized, was not approved as
the state bird until April IA, 1899.
Now we come to one of the old
est of state emblems-the peach
blossom. 1t was adopted as the
official floral emblem on May 8,
1895. Undoubtedly Delaware has
the right to be proud of its hertz
age.
In our school the third period
United States history class will
have charge of an assembly, with
Dolores Lapetina as chairman, in
order to celebrate this day.
