MILFORD School News 1 ► By 1 EARLEEN FISHER < It would be most convenient if news would pop up whenever one wanted it. Unfortunately, fate doesn’t always oblige; in fact, in my case, it seems like fate is conspiring against me. Without further ado, I present the senior of the week, John Henry Gerber. SENIOR OF THE WEEK t JOHN HENRY GERBER . John is the son of Mrs. Valentine Gerber. He has brown hair and brown eyes. His birthdate is November 11, 1944. John’s extracurricular activities include: basketball, track, and cross-country. His advice to underclassmen is “Don’t be like me. After graduation he plans to work for a firm that builds concrete silos. His pet peeve is girls who think that they are God’s gift to men. John’s secret ambition is to go to the world Olympics. His ambition in life is to become a millionaire. A change John would like made in Milford high school is the building of a new gym. John’s favorites are as follows: sport, track; color, black; book, “Call of the Wild”; music, Mozart; movie, “The Magnificent Seven”; actor, Burt Lancaster; actress, Kim Novackf ' singer Elvis Presley; pastime, day dreaming; subject, speech; food, anything good. JUNIOR NEWS By Anni Lange Last week was a busy one for the juniors. In English, oral reports were given on state capitals, outside reading books, and great composers. " k In history class we are learning how the Industrial Revolution came to the United States and what changes took place after 1817 in farming, transportation and communication. SOPHOMORE NEWS By Becky Hoerr Well, as usual, nothing exciting has been happening. Os course, Thanksgiving vacation was a welcome sight, as you can probably guess. I’ve heard that the home economics girls made a turkey dinner not so long ago. Sounds good, or are you still eating leftovers ? A new grading period is just starting, and I’ve* been hearing things like - ‘.‘l’ll just have to quit talking so much!” “If I could only

learn to concentrate!” “W ill teachers ever stop piling on work?” Well, as the old saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” In English we are making notebooks which are composed of all the rules of punctuation We are using examples which we have found in magazines and newspapers. I’ll bet a lot of parents will start reading an interesting article when they see that a vital sentence is missing. If it gets too aggravating, parents, just remember, it’s all for the good of education! See the sophomore news the next time you need some plain, soothing, non-exciting information. We have no earth shaking problems, to be sure! EIGHTH GRADE NEWS By Cindy Beer In English we are learning about the important diacritical marks and prefixes and sufixes. Some are difficult to learn and others are quite simple. Geography is quite interesting at the moment. We are studying more important facts about the continent of Africa. Quite a few of the boys and girls in our class will be singing for the Christmas program Dec. 12. We hope everyone who comes will enjoy it. SEVENTH GRADE NEWS By Paula Burgett Thirty-two 7th graders were present at the first semester class party on Friday, Nov. 23. Jerry Bushong drove us to the Syracuse skating rink where we skated for two hours. We all had a lot of fun. Well, it's that time again! All last week we took tests and yesterday the report cards were passed out for the second time in this school year. It seems hard to believe that we’ve been going to school for three months. December is here already! We have been studying very hard. In arithmetic we are finishing up fractions. In home economics the girls are ending their discussions on milk, while the boys are finishing porch boxes, mail boxes, and shoe shine kits in shop. In history we are reading about how our government was first started. In English We are getting ready to study grammar. The 7th graders who are in junior high choir are learning many new songs for the Christmas program.
