Deborah Franco Smith "75" and Winthrop Smith "76" accept challenge and will continue the ALL CLASS REUNION tradition set by Jim Rose "33". Their committee consists of many who have worked on previous reunion events as well as new recruits. Committee membership is open to any MHS graduate who chooses to participate.
Individual class representatives are always welcome and urged to assist in updating class list addresses. At the present time, class representatives are needed for the classes of 1933, 34, 35, 36, 37, 59, 63,72,74,76,78, and 79. Ken Hawkins "57" is current chair of the all-important Database subcommittee; Marty Merk agrees to assist him in this daunting task.
In addition to providing a venue to keep the spirit of Milford High School alive our ALL CLASS REUNION is a fund raising event to support a Memorial Scholarship Fund.
HISTORY OF MHS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
While MHS class of 1933 was planning its 50th reunion, COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, JIM ROSE, learned of the city's plan to close Milford High School due to declining enrollment. At Jim's suggestion, the committee decided to make their celebration a reunion to be enjoyed by all previous MHS graduates. Invitations were sent to over 10,000 people.
When the June 1983 ALL CLASS REUNION proved to be a social and financial success, its committee was faced with the dilemma of an overwhelming amount of net proceeds. After careful consideration, these funds became seed money for establishment of a Milford High School Memorial Scholarship. A TRADITION WAS BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geneva Pike Anderson Cole "30", Paul Austin "53", Angeline Arciulo West "39". Antoinette Arciulo Mattioli "37". Joseph Dudding '57", George Field "34" Miriam Baltim Novenstein "47", Win Smith "54" Judy Baltim Rosa "61", Frank Matthews "61", and Jim Rose "33" served on the original Scholarship Committee.
In 1989 original SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES were amended and a MHS MUSEUM COMMITTEE was created. Members of the Scholarship Committee periodically elect new members to fill vacancies and all current members continue to also serve on the Museum Committee. It purchased and installed trophy cases at the Parsons Complex thereby establishing a fitting home for MHS MEMORABILIA in the hallway at inside gym entrance. MHS "53" donated a plaque to commemorate scholarship recipients. Names of winners are inscribed each year. This plaque is permanently displayed in the MHS Museum.
In 1997 a vote of the sitting committee resulted in changing the name of the fund to THE JIM ROSE MHS SCHOLARSHIP AWARD.
In 2005 a guideline revision was made to wave provision that a scholarship recipient have a relative who graduated from Milford High School. This became necessary as a result of a dwindling number of otherwise eligible students who could not meet such a requirement.
Since the initial ALL CLASS REUNION in 1983, a recreation has been held in 1993 (Chair Jim Rose "33"), 2003 (Chair Bob Gregory "55"), and 2008 (Chair Bob Gregory "55"). These social and financial successes have continued to embellish fund receipts. However, we are faced with the fact that the number of MHS grads are dwindling and we look for ideas to perpetuate the spirit of MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL that will guarantee continuation of the JIM ROSE MHS SCHOLARSHIP AWARD.
