Last Fall Concert At Milford School Set For October 25

By Debbie Arthur

The annual fall concert at Milford high school will begin at 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Oct. 25. This caicert will ba unique for several reasons. The first is that it wifi be the last fall concert to ever be presented by the Milford band and chorus. The sacond being the very large number of specials featured. The boys’ quartet consisting of Dave Beer. Ted Speicher, Fred Hoerr and Craig Ruch will sing a novelty number. 'The Sophomorie Philosophy” presents a very splendid answer to all study problems. The Milford high school chorus will be in their robes for three sacred numbers. “The Lord is My Strength" originally taken from the eighth Psalm, will feature Joan Feikner as a soloist with choral background. Cheryl Vanlaningham will s ; ng a solo part in “How Excellent I- Thy Name". A Kingston Trio number. “Good News”, w ill be sung by the entire choir with lots of MHS style. Kristin Phend will be soloist for “The Impossible Dream" which will have choral accompaniment Band Program ; "i The band presenting “Still Wie Die Nacht” written by Bohms might make you drowsy but it’s guaranteed that the “Gold and Silver March" will wake you up. “Flamingo Trumpets", a comet trio, will be played by Dann Gansert. Nell Biller and Steve Replogle. I Steve will also b> featured in Al Hirt’s "Honey In the Hom". Want to be a fish? That'S all the I giris’ quartet can sing about. These fish singinc girls are Kristi Phend, Cheryl Vanlaningham. Becky Brown and Debbie Wolferman. This is only to give you a slight inclination of what is to come in this fall concert. There is a lot of hard w;ork. effort and experience being put into this concert for the reason that : there will never be another chance to improve' a MHS fall concert, this one will be th? best. Deb's Doodles By Debbie Arthur As everyone .knows by now (I hope they kn< w the MHS fall concert is Wednesday, Oct. 25. It will start at 7 45 p.m. Besides concert practice every • night, play practice for “Twelve Angry Men" lias started. I agree that practice makes perfect, but it also makes you wonder if study halls are sleeping times. Finally, this is it! The last of the fn-t grading period is coming soon. | When you think about it. it doesn't really seem possible that time flies! so fast. Besides paying for all of the! things (dues. annuals, fees, etc J, I Mr. Dorsey would like the juniors to I pay for tlieir Reader’s Digests. The Warsaw speech contest is this « •_rustration starting at approximately 7:30 in the morning. Seems like Mr. Dorsey has really been recruiting people to go. Friday, the 13th. wasn’t too bad for MHS. Mrs. Robinson thought it was really a very good day. She celebrated her 'couldn't tell you how many years' birthday very joyously. ' Our sex enth period study hall teacher formed a bookkeeping choir to sing to her. Some Monday morning classes were especially loppy when a certain ! teacher happened to leave both sets of keys to his files (which contained Monday morning’s tests s at home. | LUNCH til/ t MENUS t V YVYWVU VYYWb MILFORD MENUS Mon. - Sloppy Joes, green beans. 5 creamed rice, fruit cup, milk.

Vo-Ag--Methods Or Madness By Ed Washier Milford Vo. Ag. Instructor The soil of our country has long been hailed as one of our greatest natural resources. And to say the least, we would be in bad shape without it. For from it comes the most abundant food supply in the worid; from it stems the foundation of the largest industry this country has. the food industry. For these reasons, among others, the Milford vocational agriculture students were all required to take part in the county soil judging contest this year. The Milford boys did not fare too ; well ui the county contest, but plac|ed second to the Pierceton vo. Eg. ' students. Last Saturday, the Mil- ' ford students and Pierceton stui dents attended the district contest. Milford placed 17th exit of 17 and Pierceton students placed sixth ; with Rochester winning first and second. The question may be, was it worth taking class time to prepare for such a contest? The answer is, the question was not whether or not the contest was won or lost, but whether or not the student learned about an important resource. The students did not win a contest, but through the contest they learned, that is important. Vocational agriculture scores again; the method may appear to be madness, but it works. Trend Toward Fewer High Schools Continues LAFAYETTE — The trend to fewer — and better — high schools for Hoosier teen-agers is certain to continue, says J. B. Kohlmeyer, Purdu? university agricultural economist and former executive director of the Indiana state school reorganization commission. When the school doors opened this September. 32 high schools in operation during the 1966-67 academic year had been discontinued. These were situated in 16 scattered counties throughout Indiana. However, 25 of these schools moved into 10 new buildings, resulting in a net reductico of 22 schools. In 1950. Kohlmeyer recalls, Indiana had 842 public high schools in operation. By 1965 the total had fallen to 508. When the 1966-67 school year began, there were 27 fewer high schools than in the previous September. Highest attrition rate, Kohlmeyer explains, occurred among high schools with fewer than 100 students. In 1962 the state department of public instruction reported 114 high schools with enrollments of fewer than 100. This fall, that number had dropped to 23. By the autumn of 1968 this will be down to 15, Kohlmeyer predicts. Students from these discontinued schools are now enrolled in high schools that offer at least 50 per cent more subjects, he adds. This is particularly true in the areas of English, mathematics, foreign language. science, soc : al' studies and business. Rising costs of education are reflected in higher tax rates, Kohlmeyer points out. But, he adds, teachers are better trained than previously and they command higher salaries. Too, building costs, equipment and maintenance have been hit by inflation. Michael Ostrander Enrolled At Grace College WINONA LAKE, Ind, - Michael E. Ostrander, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Ostrambr of Rudyard. Mich., is among the 179 students enrolled in Grace Theological seminary for the | fall semester, according to Dr. Ho-; mer A. Kent Sr., registrar. Mr. Ostrander, a 1962 graduate of t Rudyard high school, also holds the B. S. degree from Western Michigan | university. A member erf the New • Salem Church of the Brethren, he is I married to the former Judy Funderburg. Founded in 1937, Grace Theological ' Seminary is a conservative graduate school of theology. Graduate degree programs include the bachelor of divinity and the master of religious education, and in the postgraduate division programs are offered leading to the master of theology and the doctor of theology degrees. Grace college, a four-year coeducational liberal arts college, shares the campus with Grace Seminary. Both schools are affiliated with the National Fellowship of Brethren churches. Mr. Ostrander is a middler (second year' student in the seminary.
