I School News • By EARLEEN FISHER

MILFORD SCHOOL NEWS This week we all had a chance to get better acquainted with the new Lakeland Corporation report cards. They still contain the same information as the old ones, except that grades are recorded on a much more elegant looking card. Perhaps this is supposed to accustom us to the shock of seeing our grades. This past week I made a survey of the likes and dislikes of students in our school. I picked several topics, ranging from communism to food, mimeographed about three hundred copies and passed out my survey sheets. There are 285 students from the 7th grade through 12th. Two hundred sixty answered my survey. Students were not asked to give their names only their grade. For-ty-five of the 48 7th graders answered the survey; 61 of the 63 Bth graders; 51 of the 54 freshmen; 41 of the 51 sophomores; 33 of the 40 juniors; and all 29 seniors. To start with here are the results of the “Attitude Toward School" survey: The choices I gave are (1) enjoy the intellectual challenge, (2) indifferent, (3) something to do, (4) feel like burning the building down, and (5) accept it as a necessary evil. Then there was the bright senior who wrote, “I don’t mind school—just the principal of the thii. ” A certain junior wrote “I ha.e it!” in big black letters. Ten seniors, 16 juniors, 11 sophomores, 21 freshmen, 19 Bth graders, and 9 7th graders enjoy the intellectual challenge. Feeling indifferent are six seniors, seven juniors, 22 sophomores, eight freshmen, nine Bth graders, and two 7th graders. School is “something to do” for five seniors, four juniors, four sophmores, nine freshmen, ten Bth graders, and 12 7th graders. Four seniors, two juniors, no sophomores, six freshmen, 13 7th graders confessed a desire to burn the building down. Accepting school as a necessary evil were two seniors, three juniors, three sophomores, seven freshmen, eight Bth graders, and five 7th graders. I would like to thank all the kids who cooperated so wonderfully by filling out my surveys, and I wish to thank the teachers who collected them for me. I think that these surveys will be an interesting addition to the school news column. I believe that parents and adults in general will

be surprised at the opinions of high school kids concerning such fields as politics and religion, as well as some less serious matters. SENIOR OF THE WEEK SHERRY ANN BLEILE Sherry is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bleile. She has light brown hair and blue eyes. June 8, 1945, is her birthdate. GAA and Rekamemoh are among Sherry’s extracurricular activities. She advises underclassmen to go to Goshen summer school, study, and have a riot. After graduation she plans to attend Vogue beauty college in South Bend. Sherry’s pet peeve is someone who thinks he or she is better than anyone else. Her secret ambition is to travel. Her ambition in life is to be successful as a beautician. A change Sherry would like made in Milford high school is that the senior trips would continue. Sherry’s favorites are as follows: sport, swimming; color, blue; song, “Patches”; movie, “A Summer Place”; actor, Jerry Lewis; actress, Sandra Dee; singer, Rick Nelson; pastime, listening to WLS; subjects, shorthand and bookkeeping; food, my mom’s bar-b-q’d chicken. JUNIOR NEWS By Anni Lange In history class we’ve been reading about the birth of the Constitution and the men responsible for writing it. One day in Spanish class we all used earphones to listen to tape recordings. In this way part of the class could study while the other half listened to the tape. Earphones may be used if someone wants to practice saying or learning certain dialogues at noon. The junior ' class had a class meeting last week to discuss the candy sales and to elect the Trojanette editor for next year. Earleen Fisher was chosen. SOPHOMORE NEWS By Rebecca Hoerr Guess whath The sophomore class is planning a party! We’re to have a swimming party next week, and we hope it will be loads of fun. This party will also celebrate our first vacation of the year. After stalling as long as possible and changing the subject many times, we have finally finished the novel "Wuthering Heighths.” I have the feeling that our class is very talented at putting off the inevitable. Just ask I Mrs. Tompkins! It took us almost four weeks to finish what was as- | signed for two. Health class has also been very I lively lately.
