o r - y -a s r r l o o k s f r o m h e r e Vol. 67, No. 24 Co^d^ June 23.1955 Congratulations to 1955 One hundred and sixty-six Millburn High School sen­ iors will graduate at commencement exercises tonight bring­ ing to an end twelve years of successful education. Many of them will continue their formal education in colleges and universities scattered throughout the country, while others MILL B will enter the business world or the army immediately. The continuance of formal education in a number of and nstances is made possible by various scholarships and finan­ cial aid from the Millburn Scholastic Boosters and the Stu­ dent Loan Funds as well as from private sources. It is gratifying to know that the students themselves appreciate ITEM this assistahce and recognize the need for higher education. We join in congratulating all the graduates and wish them every success in their college or eventual business en­ deavors. We know that in years to come they will never fprget their years at MHS.
