CERTAINLY, no gath
ering of people, on
any account. could
be more satisfying
- than the Milford
High school Alumni Banquet
on Friday evening. Around
three hundred old and new
graduates were present for the
very nice dinner and the ex-
cellent program which follow
ed. The revival of these meet
ings, two years ago, has been
much appreciated by the MEM
bers and it is hoped they will
be carried on and on. Those
nearby have to make little eff
fort to attend but those who
come from a distance have
more to consider and their at
tendance adds much to the en-
joysnent of the affair, for they
are the ones seldom seen. The
Glass of '27 had a reunion af-
ter the banquet at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Kitchens,
near town. Mr.. Kitchens was
the president, and has been in
terested each year to have those
of 81 return. The guest of the
class was Miss Ida ROOsa, who
went with this group on the
senior trip to Washington. Mrs.
Eleanor Rosa, also present at
the reunion, was the class ad-
visor. There were eighteen in
the class. Those coming from
Out-of-tOwn were Anton Adam,
= Mrs. Resale Truitt Blugerman,
Mrs. Helen Swain Fox, Milton
ManlOve and Colonel Harry
Shew, who was the speaker of
the evening at the banquet.
These reunions are encouraged
for they bring together former
pupils who have not been back
to the old home town, and have
not seen their schOOlmates in
some time.
