Senior Personality
LITA BRAY

This week we're going to tell
you about the southern belle of
the senior class. Her name is Lita
Bray and she is a green-eyed
blonde. Lita has been active as a
majOrette in band for five years
and this year she is the head ma
jOrette. Her other activities are
Girls Chorus, two years; A Capel-
la Chorus, one year; and she was
a member of the Kent County
Chorus last year.
Although Lita is very active in
school affairs, she always has time
to laugh with her friends, of which
she has a great many. Her pet
peeve is flirtatiOus girls. She likes
many things, but among her favO-
rite likes are baton twirling, fry
ing chicken for her boyfriend, and
hillbilly music.
Lita hopes to further her educa-
ton after graduation by attending
a business school. She also intends
to keep up her baton twirling. We
wish Miss Lita Bray the best of
luck because she really deserves
all the happiness she's bound to
find in life.

Milford BIusfs Dover
4Q-6 In Final Game

On Thanksgiving Day, the Mil
ford "Bucs" met the Dover "Sena-
tors" and wound up their 1858
season with MilfOrd's largest scOr-
ing spree of the season, 1876. In all,
Milford scored eight tbs in the
game. The line threw back con-
tinUally the Dover thrUsts. The
Senator" fumbles and one impOr-
tant interceptiOn by Milford, along
with a bad pass from center on a
punt, helped Dover contribute to
it's own defeat.
Wilson Jones scored three touch
downs to spark MilfOrd's scoring
on runs of "a and 8 yards, then
caught a pass from Jester for his
fincal score. Tawes went over
from the two after Williams inter
cepted a Dover pass on the Dover
80 and almost got away. Ken Dra-
per broke through for Is yards.
Jester, Bennett, and Williams
scored MilfOrd's other tOuchdowns
on short rushes inside the ten.
Lindale kicked only one extra
point for Milford in s tries. Dover
scored in the third quarter on a l.
yard plunge by Hutchins.
MilfOrd's record for the. season
stands at wins and 8 losses. the
best in years at Milford. RehObOth.
WicOmicO, Lewes, Caesar Rodney.
Brown Vocational and Dover were
defeated at the hands of Milford,
and SeafOrd, Conrad, and George
town triumphed over the "Bucs".
This year Milford lU.ys eight
seniors. They are: Williams. Tawes,

"BUcs" OVerpowered
BY Georgetown, 26-l2

Mari western
Or November Goth, the Milford
"Bucs" played Georgetown on a
fOg-enshrOuded field at George
town. Milford suffered sorely from
the loss of ineligible players and
was forced to throw 81. "" play
ers into the breech. Despite only
one day to throw themselves into
a working unit, the team did re-
markably we'll. The situation fore
ed many changes. Herm Jester
played line backer, as we'll as his
usual role of offensive quarterback
Bradley played both Offense and
defense at end, Beetchen was at
center, Pearson at halfback, Green
lee at tackle, and there were many
other changes in the lineup and
positions.
Early in the first quarter George
town marched to MilfOrd's 15-yard
line, and from there it was an easy
matter for Pittard to score. Milford
then retaliated by scoring on a rs
yard pass play from Jester to
Tawes. Georgetown scored in the
second, third and fourth quarters,
once in each, 4O-yard run by
COar, 47-yard run by Abbott and
10-yard tally by Abbott again.
Milford scored in the third-frame
on a 35-yard aerial from Jester
to Art Bradley. Abbott made two
conversions in four tries for
Georgetown and Jester failed twice
as the Georgetown line rushed in
on him.
The next game will be against
Dover at the Milford Ball Park on
Thanksgiving Day at 11:O0 a. IN.
The game will be MilfOrd's last
of the SaeSOn.

Yearbook Yups

One of the busiest groups to be
found in Milford High School
these days is the yearbook staff.
All of the committees are making
great progress.
The ad-sOliciting group is still
working on sales and the 1rgani-
zatiOn of the ads. Many OF the
business firms in Milford and the
surrounding area have shown a
great interest in cooperating with
the senior class by buying adver-
tising space in the yearbook.
Dot Webb and Dolores Slacum,
the editor and assistant editor, de-
vote all of their spare time TO
working on the MiifOrdiaa. The
typist, Dawn Clcayer, and the wri-
ters, Barbara Walls and Reta Glen
daniel, are also always on the job.
Dot, Dolores, and a group of
helpers, have chosen the cover for
the yearbook. This years cover
will be done in blue and gold let
tering, with a simple but impress
sive design.
Let's all get on the job and give
these Industrious seniors some
support by buying yearbooks.

Administrative Voice

Most educators will agree that
our educational practices are about
one generation behind our educa-
tional knowledge of method. Twen-
ty-fve years ago we recognized
that all boys and girls of school
age should have the opportunity
to become acquainted with vOca-
tiOnal subjects as well as academic
subjects. To date that idea has not
materialized in this area.
At this time there is a growing
concern among parents 4 that the
schools are neglecting to provide
the educational opportunities that
they believe their children should
have. This is healthy sign since
educational practices directly fol-
low the will of the majority of
the people.
There is considerable talk at
this time about the construction
of a comprehensive high school
for white students to serve Milford
and the surrounding area. This
school would not only provide an
educational opportunity in aca-
demic and commercial subjects but
in trades and industries as we'll.
1t is not the idea that specialized
education in any one of the trades
would be the basis of the program,
but a graduate of this cOmprehen-
sive school would have a broad
general knowledge of all trades in
order that he would be better fit
ted to enter an apprenticeship in
a specialized field.
Parents are cordially invited to
submit their suggestions and Opin-
ions about such "a school program
to be provided in the near future.

present who outranked him.
OF course, Bob puts con-
siderable emphasis on form.
He likes to tell the story of
the time when he was in his
late teens and living with his
family in the Guggenheim
mansion in New York. It was
the custom to dress for dinner
every night and one night
Bob came down in dinner
jacket and black tie formerly
called by the now un-chic
term, a tuxedo. His father
fixed him with a stern eye and
said, You are supposed to
dress for dinner" Whereupon
his wayward son went back
upstairs and donned the Gus
tomary white tie and tails.
Official rules for seating
have ruined more than one
party in the Capital. For in
stance a hostess may want to
pep up a dinner with some big
wigs but if they rank her
honor guest whom she would
like to seat on her right, she
doesn't dare invite them!
Apparently a lot of WASH
ington hoSteSseS don't know
it but there are two ways of
getting around the problem
and still be scrupulously cor
rect, according to Chief of
Protocol Jack Simmons and
the Norwegian Embassy's Elo-
viouS Mangor who is the proto-
col expert for the dean of the
diplomatic corps. If you're a
single woman you can have the
top-ranking man act as your
host or if you have two or
three ambassadors and two or
three tables you can put one
at the head of each, which is
exactly how it was arranged
at Rahel's party for the Gug-
genheims. Or you can ask
those Of higher rank if they
mind stepping down one place
so that your guest of honor
can sit on your right. If they
do mind, Of course, you don't
have to ask them again. but
surely no person of any big
ness would refuse such a
simple request.

The Marx brothers made the
biggest mistake Of their joint
career when they retired from
the screen without doing a
comic opera take-off on
Washington protocol.
In the heat of the summer
you would think nobody would
care a fig whether he sat at
the head of a table or the foot
just as long as he could feel
the faint STRINGS Of a breeze
occasionally caress his beaded
brow.
But alack and alas, if you
think you can forget protocol
at a single party in this town
in or out of season if there's
a single official present you
are mistaken. You can be a
private citizen not trying to
impress anybody. but if you
give any kind of a seated
luncheon or dinner from q
picnic in the woods to a state
banquet. be prepared to place
your guests according to the
approved table of precedence
or you may be embarrassed.
Most surprising thing to the
people IN the rest of the coun-
try is what happens to an
honor guest at a Washington
party. The chances are you'll
find him sitting closer to the
celery or the salt than the
centerpiece. That's because in
this oficial-bound metropo-
lis it's the ranking guest, not
the guest of honor, who sits
on the hostess right. Sounds
cockeyed, doesn't it?
