HARRINGTON

ID. v. uOt NE IAN DEAi -
HARRINGTON
The j. v. hockey team travelled
to Harrington for a scrimmage
, Thursday, September 20. The team
won with a score of 80.
II was a hard fought game for
the team. Very few times did the
ball pass the twenty-five yard line.
This was due to the fine work of
the ibackfield. The forward / n e
fought hard for their three goals.
Two of the goals were scored by
Norma Bennett and the other was
a team score.
The starting lineup was as fol-
lows: Colleen Teare. Gail Corder,
Norma Bennett, Debbie B e tt s..
Nancy Corder, Ellen Kunkle,
Charlotte Wagner, Anne Lankford,
Carol Kline, Jean Acko, and Carol
Isaacs. Due to the fact that the
team hasn't been picked there was
an abundance of substitution.
The j. " plays it's first game
with Dover Air Base at Dover,
October 2.
LETTER FROM EMO
Mr.. James Atkinson, Principal
Of Milford High School, recently
received a letter from last years
foreign exchange student, EMO
Montoneri. EMO is from Sicily.
While he attended Milford High
School, he stayed at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Friedman OF
Milford. Following is his letter:
September u, 1862
Dear Mr.. Atkinson:
I'm at home since the end of
July and after two months it
seems to me as though | had never
been i'm the States. When | left
last year, ! did not think at all of
my return, and now I'm here l
realize how brief my stay in the
United States was.
To be in Europe after a seven
hour flight is very exciting ex-
perience, and so to see those faces
which had faded in my memory.
In the trip through the States |
got a more complete picture of
American people; in Maine the
people are the same as in Milford
and as in California and all over
the country, according to what my
ATS. friends said. We were re-
ceived by great number of people
who opened their homes to us and
we made many new friends.
In Italy now I'm waiting to go
to college and in the meantime my
friends go wild over my American
jackets, my Milford jacket, my
shirts, and my sweaters, but they
hate my American shoes very
much.
When | speak of America and
show them my Yearbook and the
pictures / took there, people al
ways ask me for the same ques-
tion: why do they do this? What
reward does your family get for
it?" 1t is because of their selfish
nature, of their natural diffidence
for other people that they must
explain everything by a material
istic cause and | can notice Scepti-
cism and irony depicted on their
faces when / tell them that it is
because the Americans Il IKE
people: because they get friend
ship for their generosity.
This is why / felt at home since
the beginning in Milford III g h
School. where / knew everybody in
few days.
am sure the new students have
got the same impression as | did
and / hope you like them very
much. I'm thinking of them walk-
ing through the halls, going up
and down the stairs, talking with
the kids in between periods, run
ming downstairs at lunch time, and
rushing to the door at three ten.
| hope they are enjoying M.H.S.
as mpch as | did. I'd like to hear
from them and TO have their ad
dresses.
Thanking all the staff and you,
i now stop with a hopeful SO long,
EMO MONTONERI
