were Lila Burris with re-
bounds, Danga Vilesis with re-
bounds. and Sue Kirby with 4 re-
bounds.
The team is under the very cap
able coaching of Mrs. George
Manlove, who is doing a remark
able job this season with the girls
Her efforts have been most effec-
tive and the team has lost only
one game thus far.
The Junior Varsity met over
whelming opposition from her op-
ponents which forced her to sue
cumb to Seaford 24-S. The girls
anxiety about playing an unde-
| feated team was quite evident in
their nervous uncertain behavior
on the court. Even though they
lost the game. they gained the in
valuable experience of playing un-
der intense pressure, which will
serve them well in ensuing games.
The high scorers were Eileen
Short with a four points, Jacky
Dill with three points. and Rose
Lufsey with one point. The out
standing guards were Team Cap
tain Judy Jaquette with seven re-
bounds, Fran Dickerson with three
points. and Florence Scott with
two points. and Rachel Grier with
one point.
The team is coached by Miss
Cornelia Shaw. a newcomer to
Milford. She is most conscienti-
Gus and tireless in her efforts with
the team and is enjoying a very
successful season with them.
Both teams deserve a lot of
credit for their games. for they
were playing the hardest game
they will play all season. Con-
gratulations to the Varsity and
best wishes to the j. v. as they
begin anew the role of continu-
l'ous victories.
Seniors See "A Midsummer
Nights Dream"
On Wednesday afternoon, the
eighth of February. the English
classes of Mrs. Joan Riggin and
Mr.. Raymond Palmer travelled to
Wilmington to see the American
Shakespeare Festival Theatre
Company's production of "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" This ex-
house was marked by three firsts:
twas the first trip to a Shakes
pearean play ever sponsored by
Milford High School. it was the
first national tour of the American
Shakespeare Festival Company,
and it was the first Shakespearent
role guest star, Bert Lahr, ever
played. The combintion of these
three elements gave the presenta-
tion the refreshing vitality of no
vel experience.
Lahr's hilarious portrayal of
Bottom, the weaver, was a mix
ture of the traditional Shakespear-
can character with the humorous
"Lahrisms" that have made Bert
a longstanding clown of stage and
screen.
Very briefly the plot concerned
three pairs of lovers. two of which
got lost in a forest enchanted by
fairies. The fairies caused a re-
versal of romantic fortunes, but
finally the confusion was cleared
up and the lovers proceeded back
to Athens, where they were we'd
At their wedding reception a local
craft guild of which Bottom was
a member ridiculously performed
"Phyramus and Thisbe," which
drew the play to a happy concIu-
sion.
Because of the inclement wea-
ther the audience was rather
small. but nevertheless highly re-
sponsive to the rollicking comedy.
This performance delightfully."-
proved that Shakespeare can be
fun for everyone, but especially
for forty Seniors from Milford
High School.
