Closes Unhappy
Football Season

by Joe COOK
On Thanksgiving Day the Mil
ford "Bucs" closed out a dismal
football season by bowling to the
Dover Senators" COLA.
Throughout the entire year the
"Bucs" have had their share of
bad luck. The team was never at
full strength throughout the year,
since they were plagued with in
juries all season. Dave Burton,
towering end, was out for most
of the season and Roy Tawes had
a bad leg which prevented him
from playing very much. These
and many other injuries handicap
ped the "Bucs" and they were un-
able to produce any wins for Coach
Briggs. They did, however, man
age to tie RehObOth and Caesar
Rodney by scores of 1913 and II
respectively.
They put up a strong fight
against a powerful Seaford eleven
before falling 32-19, and made a
good showing against the Brown
Vocational gridders of Wilmington
Lewes High School pounded out a
1855 victory over Milford, but the
"Bucs" achieved the feat of being
the first team to score on them.
Laurel, Wicomico, and Georgetown
also whipped the "Bucs" by
scores of Abb, $50, and 1876 re-
spectively.
Fleming Leads Scorers
Terry Fleming, "Bucs" fullback,
Tailed more points than anyone
else on the team. Fleming crossed
the goal line four times and scored
one extra point for a total of 25
points. Three boys on the team
scored two T. DIS each. They were
Bud Kimmel, Bud Pase and John
Abbott.

0t u.s. ~ Jus
Mr.. Haisht Speaks

This article is reprinted from
the November 1851 edition of "Gui-
dance Newsletter" published by
Science Research Associates, for
the benefit of those students who
will soon be affected by this pro-
gram:
What chances and opportunities
does a recent high school graduate
have in the armed services? Here
is brief resume of his choices:
a. At II with his parents con-
sent he can enlist for three years
and thus have the best chance to
pick his military job. He'll need
a score of IS on the Army General
Classification Test, one good eye,
one good ear. "a punctured ear
drum, missing fingers or toes don't
disQualify him.
80. At age 1872 he can enlist
in the Army as an officer candi-
date for a twO-year hitch. (The
Navy and Air Force have plenty of
college men to choose for officer
materially
"3. He may try for one of the
700 West Point or 900 Annapolis
appointments to be offered next
year.
a. If he must stay home and
work, the Army, Navy, or Air
Force reserves or the guard pro-
grams may suit him. But the Nav
al Reserve wants him only if he's
a veteran or has some college train
ing. The Air National Guard and
the Air Reserve are short on va
cancieS. If he enlists in the Ma
tiOnal Guard before he is 1872, he
will be promised deferment and
have a better chance to get a COM
mission.
"5. The college-bOund fellow
will have a hard time avoiding the
ROTC's. The Army is planning
114,OOO ROTC enrollments in 271
colleges. The Air Force will have
$4,000 enrOllees in 1877 colleges.
The Navy ROTC-the most select
- is still limited to $4,000 in So
colleges. The Navy also offers its
ROC, a college plan for reserve
officer candidates. All are members
of its enlisted reserve. OF $4,000
applicants, only 800 were selected
last year."

Meet The Girls

Can you guess who has short
brown hair, dark brown eyes, and
is the only four-letter girl in
school? OF course, it is Elizabeth
Snowberger, better known to ev-
eryOne as "Bettymae."
A great lover of sports she is a
fast center halfback on the hockey
squad, guard on the basketball
team and a dead-eye catcher on
the sOftball diamond.
Bettymae likes all of her sub
jects. though Solid Geometry is
her favorite.
AS do all girls this vivacious SEN
Tor likes clothes! She also enjoys
lively parties, good music and
dancing.
Come on you all, really yell this
time!" sounds like Bettymae at q
football game, doesn't it? AS cap
tain of the cheerleaders she has a
great responsibility finding new
cheers and putting them into mo-
ton. Plenty of school spirit is one
of the essentials in a school to
Bettymae's way Of thinking.
Bettymae confesses that she has
no real dislikes except people who
hold a grudge.
An Academic student she plans
to go to college and major in either
physical education or mathematics.
Her main hobbies are reading and
cooking, and her pet peeve is Civ
ing an open house during football
season.

preserves, jellies, or condiments
have special appeal. There's still
time to make orange marmalade
and the citrus fruit peels for
Christmas giving.
In giving perishable foods be
sure to time their delivery in ac-
cordance with their need. Always
take a second thought to see if
canned or packaged food would be
preferred. Name a woman who
takes a second look at her food
budget who wouldn't be delighted
to find a canned ham inside the
Christmas paper.
There are cook books that are
treasures. Be sure to pick a good
one, an adaptable one and one that
can be stimulant to it's new own
er. A subscription to a good foods
magazine can be a year long in
spiration. It's been said over and
over but it still holds, to give the
gift you'd like to get"
Next week this column will con-
tinue with some gift suggestions
in the equipment field.

Chicken Chatter"

Who has PettyjOhn in a tOpsy-
turvy world? Who has him going
in circles? Could it be JOan??
Terry seems to like the name of
Virginia now. What's cooking, you
twO??
Have you noticed the sign, I'm

terrible if that happened to the
High School "chatterbOxes"??
Some worthy advice to Mrs. Will
liams, adviser of the year book, and
to Mr. Wolfe, director of the Jun
iOr play: Bayer Aspirins do the
trick.
Let Me Call You Sweetheart"
seems to be the theme song of
Norma and Dave again. What's up?
Betty Lou seems to visit the can
