It ’s Sweeney, not Sweetie! Assistance In Many Forms « Mrs. Wheeler, our secretary and bookkeeper, can always find, time to answer a question. The office assistants, Jeanne Casteen, Kathie Stallings, Pam Layton, Carol Cavey, Karen Mischke, Sharon Long, Ann Bradsher, Bill Cross, Aaron Fussell, and Peggy White, make good use of their study halls as they relive Mrs. Wheeler of much addi- tional work.

Principal’s Message To you, all the students of our new Millbrook High School, I offer my congratulations for an exceedingly pleasant and effective first year. Together, we have faced many problems-- an unfinished build- ing, no assembly area, too little furniture, workmen by the dozen busily occupied with their noisy chisels, saws, and hammers, classroom trailers we thought we had left behind us— yet, in spite of these many obstacles you have triumphed, and have completed a high quality school year. As Henry Ford once said: “Coming together is a beginning; Keeping together is progress; Working together is success.’’ Our coming together in this building was just the beginning of all the good that will come out of our new high school. Progress and final success will be reaped only if we keep together and work together. As H. G. Wells has put it, Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.’’ Knowledge is power, and we may well say that Millbrook High is the power house from which you draw strength for success in life- -success which will outlast the brick and metal of its construction. To the Seniors of 1968, of whom we are so very proud, I offer special congratulations! As the first and the best, you have set very high standards for those who will follow you. You have served a worthy apprenticeship; we will watch you with affection as you enter your professional role. Now your life’s play is underway- -what role will be yours? In this “drama of life’’ you are given the power to select your own part. Your teachers have tried to give you the proper preparation, but they cannot play your role for you. Only you can place yourself into your proper role—that of a job, technical school, college, marriage, or service of your country. To succeed fully in this role you must aspire, perspire, persist and resist! You must show sincerity, humility, and un- selfishness — and success will surely be yours. Find your role and fill it well, so that Millbrook may continue to look on your accomplish- ments with deserved pride. As Longfellow wrote, “Not Enjoyment and not sorrow Is our destined end or way. But to act, that each tomorrow Finds us farther than today.’’ To the Seniors, I bid a sad and fond farewell. In leaving, you create a void that cannot be filled. To the underclassmen, I issue a challenge to live up to the great image created by the class of 1968. ,1

The guidance assistants, Carolyn Jessee, Judy Helms, Margaret Beckon, Barbara Ihler, Brenda Lassiter, Glenda Boyd, Janet Fishbein, and Claire Stroud, save Mrs. Johnston many steps through the day.
