DEDICATION , i We, the Class of 1978, are proud to dedicate our yearbook to our class ad- visors, Mr. Roger Desrosiers and Mr. Frank Morrill. During our senior year they pushed us toward success and consoled us in our failures. These two men inspired us to gain the well de- served honor of being one of the most productive senior classes in the history of Millbury High School. pales Thank you for giving so much. pe YS FS Vee saad Wee AWAY Mr. Frank J. Morrill _ —— a Mr. Roger L. Desrosiers CLASS HISTORY Our class song, “I’ve been searching so long”’ by Chicago, brings back memories of our years at Millbury High. Throughout the four years many changes have taken place, leading us to graduation. Freshman year was probably the most difficult adjustment to make. Not only were we taken from the secuirty of being the oldest class but we were placed on a double session schedule. This meant that those of us who had been going to school for 11:00 had to be in school for 7:00. Once we were used to getting up so eary it was fun to have our afternoons off, we all enjoyed being dismissed at 12:30. With Sophomore year came the return to an 8:00 to 2:00 school day. The new discipline code gave the teachers a new weapon, the citation. Citations could be issued for a number of reasons, such as tardiness, wandering the halls without a pass, or just being disruptive. Some teachers quickly caught ‘citation sickness’. These teachers felt a mad desire to issue citations. Sophomore year coincided with the Bicentennial. Millbury High, along with the entire town, joined in the celebrations. The festivities ended with the biggest parade Millbury had seen in years. The French Club designed and built a float depicting the French involvement in the Revolution. Out of 48 floats entered, the French Float walked off with the highest honor, the Grand Marshall Award. The Foreign Language classes also introduced the first International Foods Day. This was intended to produce a better understanding of the cultures of France and Spain, but the students enjoyed a day off from school at Green Hill Park and the many exotic foods cooked. Junior year our academic activities began to pick up. The thought of graduation began to loom in our minds. Three members of our class qualified for Horace Mann by maintaining an A average for two years. They were Barbara O’Connor, Pamela Stansbury, and Wendy Stansbury. On Academic Awards Night our class was well represented, Deborah Craw received the departmental award for Math, while Barbara O’Connor received the award in Social Studies, and Patricia Gurney received the award in Foreign Language. The class of ’78 also made a good showing in the National Honor Society. By senior year 18 members were from our class. Senior year saw Patricia Gurney and Deborah Craw welcomed to the already existing members in the Horace Mann Society. The members of our class showed an interest in government. Two years in a row the representative for the Regional Advisors’ Council was chosen from our class. Maureen Bernier held this position sophomore year, while Patricia Belsito took over for her junior year. Junior year also saw the start of Student Government Day. Michelle Chevalier was elected as the Student Government Representative in Boston. Student Government Day also allowed various elected students to hold school and town positions for a day. Four Millbury Students were chosen to participate in The Presidential Classroom. Barbara O’Connor, Wendy Stansbury, Patricia Gurney, and Pamela Stansbury were all given the opportunity to learn about government first hand. What better place to study law than in Washington DiGes Many changes have taken place while we have attended High School. We have seen the addition of three advanced placement courses to the curriculum. These courses give the seniors a chance to receive college credit in Math, English, and History, while still attending high school. The Health Services Class was another welcomed addition. This gave students interested in entering a health related field a chance to experience the actual work. These students with the help of teachers, fellow classmates, and the public helped to make a successful blood drive. After a long absence creativity had returned to Millbury. ‘‘The Imaginary Invalid” was the first play in over five years. The musical “Your A Good Man Charlie Brown” was also performed. A Fashion Show was held in which the sewing classes modeled their own handiwork, and Art and I.A. students displayed their work at the Project Fair. These first attempts turned out to be rewarding programs. Two members of the class of ’79 had gained enough credits to graduate with our class. Pamela Weaver and Patrick O’Keefe, both recognized a good thing when they saw it. We are proud to say that 37 students from our class are graduating with honors, 18 of these are members of the National Honor Society. These activities have helped give our life meaning. An education has given us the knowledge and experience to determine the direction which our life will now head in, be it marriage, work, or college. “Life is everything it’s meant to be when my days have come to an end, I will understand what I left behind, part of me.” Many friendships have been formed during the last four years. Through the activities everyone has had the chance to make friends. Freshman year seems lonely at the beginning. The class has not yet found a sense of unification and belo nging. Mrs. Donna Anderson, a past faculty member, aided us over the rough spots as our class advisor. The first officers were Marilyn Courville, President; Wendy Stansbury, Vice-President; Donna Stolberg, Treasurer; and Maureen Bernier, Secretary. Sophomore year Mrs. Mary Ann Anderson took over the post of advisor backed by officers: Michael Frazier, President; Thomas Szkutak, Vice-President; Donna Stolberg, Treasurer; and Maureen Bernier, Secretary. One of the high points of High School is the time when you order your class ring. By this time our class already displayed a strong school spirit. It was voted that all rings be the same color and the color being garnet, for the school’s color. To many members of the class sports means a road to glory. Freshmen, Day Orrell and Amy Lacouture had the honor of playing varsity Field Hockey, while Donna Stolberg added her skill to the Basketball team. For a freshmen to make a varsity team shows exceptional skill. With these athletes we were off to a good start. The end of our sophomore year began the first annual Athletic Awards Banquet. Our Athletic Director, Mr. Richard Garabedian, organized the event. This was the first time the students were honored for their excellence in sports. Junior year brought about a complete new set of class officers. Ann Zawistowski, President; Amy Lacouture, Vice-President; Pamela Belsito, Treasurer; and Mary Beth Lucey, Secretary, who were all aided by the class advisor Miss Julia DeFeudis. The most important committee that year was the Prom Committee. Organized early in the year, this committee put many hours into preparations for a successful prom. May 20th was a beautiful night as the Juniors assembled outside the Sheraton Yankee Drummer Inn. Dancing to our theme song, ‘If’, played by the band Windfall was a moment not many will forget. Since all the girls looked so nice the band had a tough time choosing the court. Our Queen: Bonnie Hamilton and her court: Deborah Bonzey, Jean Comeau, Paula Moquin, and Donna Beckin were pleased and surprised with the honor bestowed upon them. Junior year we made a good showing in sports. Cross country, led by Peter Fitzpatrick and Thomas Szkutak, captured the S.W.C.L. title, their second in a row. The boys track team also gained a second championship. The golf team with the efforts of James Witkowski, James Schroeder and Thomas Bekier won the league title both junior and senior years. The girls track team, only in their second year, captured the league title, the league meet, and were District III runners-up. Again in their senior year the girls went undefeated in the league and won the league meet. The girls field hockey team also went undefeated winning the championship. The officers were the same for both junior and senior years. Ann, Amy, Pam, and Mary Beth were all happy to be reelected, which goes to show what a good job they were doing. With the election of our officers and our new class advisors, Mr. Roger Desrosiers and Mr. Frank Morrill, we were started on our last year at a hectic pace. Our senior year truly proved to be our busiest year. Our yearbook was in the capable hands of Mr. Paul Clancy, and editors Patricia Gurney and Maureen Bernier. The staff has worked long and hard to create what Mr. Clancy is sure will be the best yearbook in Millbury High history. As was only expected Ann Lund, Chris Matson, Ann Zawistowski and James Schroeder won a senior victory in the ‘‘Almost Anything Goes”’ contest sponsored by the Freshmen class. Another activity eagerly awaited was the Senior Supper. A night of dinner and dancing at the William Paul House was the setting for the distribution of the senior gifts. Much humor was evident in their presentation. The band “‘Flight’”’ put everybody in a lively mood for their final big night together. Our class trip was the first sunny day in a week of rain. The ‘‘Oak ’n Spruce’”’ resort offered many activities, such as swimming, golf, tennis, volleyball, horseback riding, and above all, good food to eat. With all the good times in life there are also the sad times. The death of our classmate reminds us that we are part of the world. John Scannell will be remembered by his classmates as a special person whom we will never forget. What can you do without money? To live up to our standards our class has raised more money than any of the preceding ones. But as our advisor Mr. Morrill said, “‘our class has more money than any other class and our class spends more money than any other class.” It seems we have done well at both. Our fund raising activities have raised money for the yearbook, the class trip, the senior supper, class gifts, the gifts to the school, and the graduation arrangements. We were the first freshmen class to hold a dance. American Standard was the featured band. This helped us earn some of our first money. For two years students went out on the magazine drives which helped to raise quite a lot for the treasury. Though we raised money all four years the last year was our best effort. A new fund raiser was tried for the first time. Twenty-pound bags of oranges and grapefruits were peddled off by ambitious seniors to friends and relatives. Though it seemed a ridiculous ideas it was our biggest fund raiser. On the day our ton of fruit was delivered, close to 80 seniors had the truck unloaded, the fruit bagged, and delivered in a record time of just a few hours. March 25th was a day of washing cars, selling baked goods, and what we are all good at — eating pancakes. Seeing the boys cook the pancakes was sight not to be missed. But what really made it a success was the public participation. The breakfast was brought to a climax by making a giant pancake. In all these events throughout the years we have worked together to make them all a success. We are now able to search for the answer to the question, ‘“‘Who am I?” We are the graduating class of 1978. Through all the good times and the bad we have realized that “‘Good things in life take a long time.” We thank all the class advisors who have helped us come this far, with special thanks to Mr. Frank Morrill and Mr. Roger Desrosiers, and to our yearbook advisor Mr. Paul Clancy. Also, we thank all of the faculty, staff, and coaches for all the advice and help through our four years of hard work at Millbury High School. Pamela Belsito, Kim Gaulin, Sandra Hall, Crystal Rauer CLASS ADVISOR There are individuals who are cooperative and giving but rarely are so many found in one class. The Class of ‘‘78’’ will always be unique because when speaking of your class we are not singling out individuals who represent it, but rather we are referring to virtually all of the individuals of the class. The most striking characterisitc is your involvement. School spirit was personified in your behavior and in your involvement. You are well-rounded ae excelling academically, athletically, and in the various activities offered by the school. Personally, the memories of your four years, especially the last, will be treasured always. You came in like leaders and you left like champions. Never will I forget that not one cap was thrown at graduation. In that one, small, fleeting moment, you left your mark on this school. Your class left with class and dignity and now you've challenged others to follow your example. My sincerest thanks for being a part of the class of ‘‘78”’. Koger we opt Roger L. Desrosiers 4b CLASS ADVISOR When this year began, the Class of ‘‘78” found itself with two class advisers. This fact is a tribute to your class in that many classes have difficulty finding one. Working together has given you a year of great accomplishment with each senior function setting a stan- dard for classes bebind you to strive for and to live up to. Seniors are expected to be leaders in a school and this is a challenge which you as students and most importantly as people, readily accepted. Many time the sacrifices concerned with the common good were frustrating to you but you did what was necessary and I’m proud of you for it. Hopefully, as you eventually enter the ‘‘real world” you will take with you the thoughts you’ve had about the joys and frustrations of the past year and these will help you in making difficult decisions — that you will have to make. On a more personal note, I wold like to thank so many of you, you know who you are, for allowing me to share in your lives. The memories of this past year with you will always be treasured by me. My wish for each of you is that you may fulfill your individual potentials and thus benefit yourselves and the society in which you live. As I look back over this past year I can only say: Thank you for caring. Pronk Jp Wrath Frank J.

GRADUATION “Begin: to have commenced is half the deed. Half yet remains: begin again on this and thou wilt finish all.’’ -Ausonius To end a perfect senior year, the class of 1978 held its graduation on June 11 at 2:00 on the athletic field. Our class president, Ann Zawistowski, welcomed the large crowd of family and friends who had come to share in our happiness. Jane Morin was our guest soloist and she entertained us with the following selections: ‘“‘The Star-Spangled Banner,” “You Light Up My Life,” ‘How Great Thou Art,’”’ and ‘‘God Bless America.”’ Tom “Satch” Sanders, the coach of the Boston Celtics, was our guest speaker. In his address he urged the graduates to go out into the world and to strive for the best. Our valedictorian, Pamela Stansbury, gave an emotional speech and Deborah Craw was the honors speaker. Mr. Drake and Mr. Roach awarded the graduates their diplomas. To show our appreciation to the class advisors, the senior class presented Mr. Frank Morrill with a camera outfit and Mr. Roger Desrosiers with a cross pen and pencil set before the ceremony.

Behind coach John Graham and assistants Bob Hayes and Jeff Stockwell, our Woolies displayed fine talent and teamwork in their play, evident in their final 5-5 record. Our team was led by the strong leadership of captains Jim Schroeder, Jim Witkowski, and Chris Matson. Chris was presented with the prestigious award of being elected to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette All-Star football team, and Jim Witkowski gained a spot on the team’s list of honorable mentions. For the first year, Millbury played most of its home games under the lights at Windle Field, These games proved to be very successful and encouraged a lot of school spirit. After losing their first three games to three tough teams, Millbury bounced back to beat Uxbridge, only to be faced by the mighty Grafton Indians the next week. The game against Grafton climaxed the season as the Woolies put on a very strong performance. Our “‘Mean Machine,’ as they were know around town, went on to win their next four games. The season came to a dramatic end at the traditional Thanksgiving Day game. Even though the Rams were favored to win, our ‘‘Mean Machine” went into the game believing in the word win, and win they almost did. With four seconds left and the score 14- 8 in Millbury’s favor, Northbridge scored and successfully kicked for the extra point. Our Woolies played like Super Bowl champs even though they ended up on the raat side of a 15-14 score. Althou their record and third place cen in the S.W.C.L. isn’t indicative of a super season, our Woolies dis- played determination, desire, and talent which has made this football season one of the most memorable and exciting in many years. — : a re © “ me sable ant po L-R Row 1 — T.

Coach An Harrington and Assistant Coach Peg Bradford brought their undefeated team into the District III Tournament, where they were seeded number one out of sixteen teams. Unfortunately, the Woolies were outclassed by the powerful Wachusett team and lost in the first round, 1-0. The team started out strong by winning its first six games. They tied the next game 0-0 in a tight defensive match with Grafton, the league rival. They bounced back the next game, beating Northbridge 3-0 and then tied Leicester 0-0. The girls went back to their winning ways though, with help of tri-captains Day Orrell, Ann Zawistowski, and Amy Lacouture. The fancy stickwork of the left inner Orrell, the hard-hitting of the center halfback Zawistowski, and the pretty saves of goalie Lacouture proved to be main con- tributions to the championship team. They won the last 7 games of the season, finishing with an impressive 14-0-2 record. Highlighting the season was the Woolies’ victory over Grafton which captured the league title for us. The balanced attack of our club enabled them to score 33 goals while limiting our opponents to one. Our Woolies proved to be just too powerful for their league opponents. on ti = Coach An Harrington oe ae ne Rada theta Ts Tri-capt. Day Orrell ; Tri-capt.

They started the season strong by winning their first three races. The tough league opponent Northbridge broke their streak by defeating them 42-20. They then had another three win spurt, but Nipmuc and Leicester proves to be stronger as they anded the Woolies two more defeats. Again they began to out- run their opponents until they tangled with Northbridge again. The Woolie runners finished their season with two more wins and a final defeat by Leicester. They compiled an 11-5 record and a 9-4 league mark. Only Northbridge and Leicester proved to be stronger teams: At the Southern Worcester County League meet in Uxbridge, our Woolies came in second Ss place and showed some great Co-captains — Tom Szkutak, Peter Fitzpatrick individual running. Tom Szkutak came in first, while Pete Fitzpatrick and John Hachey came in 5th and 10th, respectively. 4M | Coach Gordon Battye L-R Row 1 — R. Brunelle, T. Lowe, T. Szkutak.

Coached by Ron Dunham and led by tri-captains Jim Witkowski, Jerry Shepard, and Dave Hanson, the Woolies displayed a great deal of determinat ion and talent which wasn’t indicated by their record. Their biggest wins were against West Boylston and David Prouty and they had double victories over Auburn and David Prouty. The highlight of the season was the team’s invitation to the Clark Tournament. In the tourne opener our team defeated Naahobe 59-53, and then went on to defeat a tough Tahanto team 56-43 in the semifinals. The Clark University Activity Center was packed with Millbury fans, who watched ueouaain, pull away and prove to be too strong for our determined Woolies in the finals. Millbury reflected its talent when it brought home the second place trophy. Dave Hanson earned a position on the Blackstone Valley Tribune All-Star team and gained an honor- able mention from the Worcester Telegram Gazette with teammate Doug Stairs.

Senior co-captains Barbara O’Connor and Donna Stolberg helped spark the Woolies to a second place finish in the Southern Worcester County League and a berth in the District II] Tournament. The Woolies were seeded fourth in division 3 and they showed they could compete with the best. In their first game the girls easily romped past Monty Tech 69-26, and then defeated league foe, Uxbridge 66-42. This victory brought Millbury to the semifinals where they faced a tough Quaboag team. Kinonay our girls played well, it wasn’t enough to overcome the strong Quaboag team and they lost, 59-52. One of the highlights of the girls’ season was their winning the sportsmanship award of the southern area of Central Massachusetts.

Seniors John Brady, Kevin Hartigan, Chris Matson, Tom McKenney and Jerry Shepard, outstanding in their positions, pushed the team to a 2nd place finish in the SWCL. During the “78” season Millbury blasted 12 homeruns, and defeated Grafton, the league champs, three times. Because of their great defense, powerful hitting, and fine pitching they qualified for the District III playoffs. Their first obstacle was to defeat league foe David Prouty, at Fitton Field. This turned out to be no problem, the score being 8-1 in the Woolies’ favor. It was during this game that Kevin ae Hartigan smashed the ball out of the Coach Ray Greenwood park onto I-290. With the help of Todd . Mogren’s super relief pitching at Foley Stadium, they knocked out Grafton ina close 6-5 contest. This win put the Woolies into the semifinals. The high spirited fans filled the bleachers at Fitton Field again to cheer their team on. This was the furthest Millbury had gone in years. The game against Blackstone-Millville was exciting and although they lost, Millbury was very proud of their team. Coach Ray Greenwood’s devotion, discipline, and strong influence helped Millbury become one of the greatest baseball teams to represent Millbury High School. :- . a Se LLBURY, me Re | ‘ Mu x LLB T L-R Row 1 — Mgr.

They came back from the 5-10 record of 1977 and replaced it with a winning 8-6 1978 mark. The girls finished third in the league with a record of 8-6. The success of the season was mainly due to the fine coaching of An Harrington and leadership of co-captains Donna Stolberg and Day Orrell. The talented and aggressive team only lost to three opponents in the league and two of the losses were one-runners, 6-7 and 8-9, to league rival Grafton. The only team that proved to be stronger was the league champ, Leicester, who defeated our Woolies 17-6 and 8-5.

Sophomore Lynn Ethier copped 6th place in the 880 yard run; and Freshman Ginny Vigliatura also had a strong performance as she came in 5th in the long jump. The 4x110 relay team captured 5th place and the mile relay team captured 4th, which also showed the team’s strength in Class A competition. Some of these girls also earned themselves the chance to compete in the State All Class Meet. Tri-captains — Debbie Ethier, Ann Zawistowski, Chris Dufault ee et eae L-R Row 1 — L. Gauthier, K.

Eight of the team’s victories were shutouts which reflected the strength and depth the team possessed. Richard McGrail coached his team to an impressive 9-1 league record losing only one match to league opponent Leicester. Their overall record was 14-1 which gave them a berth in the Districts. There they finished with an excellent fourth place mark. Both Witkowski and Bekier went on to compete in the States and Tom placed very successfully in the 14th spot. r1 Coach Richard McGrail L-R Row 1 — Tri-capt. T. Bekier, B. Lucey, B. Bekier, D.

The girls were coached by Mrs. Boud- reau and Miss Nicoli. Their efforts combined with the leadership of cap- tain Mary Beth Lucey created a cheer- ing squad with extra spirit which filled the gym with an air of excitement. The cheerleaders had a mascot this year. Ten year old Sharon Craw did a super job following the varsity mem- bers moves to the best of her ability. With their new uniforms the team beamed on the floor and cheered our boys on to victory. = _ - Fa L-R — M. Chevalier, G. Luce, L. Gagliardi, K. Dempsey, M. Lucey, C. Gonyea, J. Chausse, S.

On the other hand, the making of the book in front of you was a delightful and rewarding experience for all those involved. There were tears; and there were smiles. There were arguments; and there were compromises. In the end it seemed that Mr. Clancy had been right all along. The combined efforts of the Editors and their Advisor produced an interesting and memory-filled yearbook. Editors — L-R Row 1 — Barbara O’Connor, Debbie Craw, Carol Belinskas, Maureen Bernier.

The N.H.S. sponsored many fund-raising activities throughout the school year. These included candy sales; St. Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day carnations; and the Coney Island Basketball game (the students were victorious over the rather inept faculty mem- NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY bers). All these activities were very successful and allowed the N.H.S. to raise quite a bit of money. The N.H.S. attends yearly conferen- ces, gives scholarships to the graduating seniors and takes an annual trip to the beach with the available funds. This year, they also donated a half-page ad to the yearbook and brought carnations to a local nursing home. All in all, the Millbury Chapter of the National Honor Society had another super year.

A student must earn a minimum of one varsity letter before he or she is admitted to the club. The Lettermen’s Club took on the project of painting our ‘“Mill- bury Woolies’”’ sign in the gym, along with selling tickets at athletic events and selling ‘“‘Woolie’ mugs. Anyone that talks to Mr. Garabedian will probably receive a pitch to buy one of these mugs that can still be found cluttering his otherwise neat and tidy office. The club also occupied them- selves with volleyball games, cross- country skiing, viewing athletic film and the planning and preparation of the Athletic Awards Banquet. Shown at right are Mr. Richard Garabedian, Advisor and Donna Stolberg, the club’s president. L-R Row 1 (seated) — Kim O’Loughlin, Pam Cardin, Janet Kenary, Mary Beth Lucey, Jill Bousquet, Barbara O’Connor, Donna Stolberg, Pat Howard, Debbie Eckland, Amy Lacouture, Jodi LeClaire, Darlene Ledoux, Marilyn Courville.

They participated in many fund-raising efforts; among these a magazine drive, a ‘‘Guess the Number of Jelly- beans” contest, and a memo board sale. With the money that they raised, they were able to partake in many activities. They, of course, presented ‘The Imaginary Officers: Pat Gurney, President; Ray Bricault, Vice-President; Cathi Modig, Secretary; Invalid,” directed by their faith- and Debbie Bonzey, Treasurer. ful advisor Mr. Roger Desrosiers; they attended a dinner concert at Mechanics Hall featuring Jacques Brel; and they took a five-day trip to Canada during the April vacation, where they toured Montreal and Quebec City.

This year the club sponsored a Rock-a-thon, which is similar to a Walk-a-thon with one exception: instead of walking a certain distance the students rock in rocking chairs for a specific number of hours. Good luck to the club and its advisor, Mrs. Kerins, in the future. L-R Row 1 — Mrs. Kerins, Pam Belsito, Pat Belsito, Laurie Cashman, Bob Paluses, Mike Roberts.

Ten people served on this year’s staff, under the leadership of Editor Wendy Stansbury and faculty advisor Mr. Fred Wadsworth. 1978 marked the first year that the Reflector was typed and published on school premises. This was accomp- lished by the efforts of Mr. Gerald Boudreau, Millbury High’s invaluable graphic arts teacher. The paper was released, on the average, five times a year. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Reflector staff, Millbury’s student body has received well-written and informative news. L-R Row 1 — Lori Swett, Penny McNeil, Maureen Morgan. Row 2 — Cheryl Warren, Karen Lund, Bob Picard, Wendy Stansbury, Bob Paluses, Joyce Ostrowski, Dennis Megarry. CHESS CLUB ..,. Anyone walking through the new Cafeteria during activity period will see the chess club and their dedicated advisor, Mr. Arthur Bomen- gen, hard at work attempting to solve the intricacies of chess. While the students struggle to grasp the con- cept of chess, Mr. Bomengen offers occasional advice from behind his copy of the Worcester Telegram. Due largely to the devotion of their advisor, the chess club continues to prosper and to be one of the more popular clubs at school.

The bands marched in both the Little League and Memorial Day parades; they provided cheering music at pep rallies and football games; they presented two concerts; and they played at our graduation ceremonies. Some of our very talented band mem- bers participate in other bands as well. Cathi Modig and Ken Pousland are members of the Central District Band, as well as joining Crystal Rauer as members of the Blackstone Valley Regional Music Association. The Chorus, like the band, is gifted with a large amount of tal- ent. They collaborated with the band in presenting Christmas and Spring concerts. Led by Mrs. Ann Silvernail, the chorus also has students who are members of other choruses. Soprano’s Pam Cardin, Robin Ingalls, and Ellen Wilson; Tenor Mark Chabot; and Bass’ James Giro and Ken Schonborg are all mem- bers of the Blackstone Vallen Senior High Chorus. Ellen Wilson is also a member of the Central District MME chorus. The chorus undertook a diffi- cult task this year when they presen- ted “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Row 1 — Mrs. Ann Silvernail; Row 2 (L-R) — Robin Ingalls, Debbie Megarry, Pat Petrie; Row 3 — Ellen Wilsoon, Pam Cardin, Sharon Chasse, James Giro; Row 4 — Mark Chabot, Mike Mandella, Ken Schonborg.

STUDENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE The members of the Student Advisory Committee were elected in September to represent the student body of M.H.S. at School Committee meetings. Students bring any problems or ideas that they may have to the members of the committee, who then present these ideas to the School Committee. The members of this Advisory Committee, who have served our school well in the past year, are: (L-R) Mary Beth Lucey, Mr. Roach, Diane Malky, Mr. Drake, Debbie Eckland, and Chairman Todd Mogren. Maureen Stacy was absent at the time of the picture. The Student Council’s advisor is none other than Mrs. Frances Dupont. It would be very difficult for a teacher to become any more involved with the students and the school. She takes an interest in the students outside of school as well as during class. The Student Council started a Student Store that sells T-shirts, pens, hats, rulers, pennants, pencils, and combs. Candy, Rock Novelty T- shirts, and belt buckles were sold not only by the members but also by Mrs. Dupont. Whenever anyone asks if anything is being sold they are invariably told to head to Room 25. 109 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics club was formed this year at the request of a group of students. The members plan, supply the ingredients for, and prepare various foods. They hold their meetings during activity periods, and even though they are limited by time, they have cooked and baked many different and interesting dishes this year. L-R Row 1 — Diane Haddad, Michelle Sauriol, Kathy Fox, Cathy Green, Mrs. Har- rington, Advisor.

If you look closely, you will see that it’s a member of our photography club. These students snap, develop, and enlarge their own photographs. The results are nearly as good as those of a professional photographer. A lot of credit should be given to these talented students and their advisor, Mr. Gordon Battye.

Although the audience loved it and it received rave reviews from all those involved, attendance was poor. The students of these clubs and their advisor, Mr. Roger Desrosiers, worked extremely hard. Maybe next year townspeople and students alike will be ready to come to enjoy a play at Millbury High School. SENIORS SPEAK OUT To “Nic” and “Chip:” Thanks for another super year. — Girl’s Track Champs Forever. To all my friends, all future band members, and all my teachers: happiness and good luck to all of you. — Crystal Rauer. 4 WEIL? Do YOUR BONES FEEL ANY STRONGER: This year, it was decided that if Seniors wanted to add anything special to the yearbook, they could by filling out a “Viewpoints” form. Though responses were not overwhelming, we did receive a few very special “thank you’s” and memories. To the future Girl’s Cross Country Teams: The best of luck; work hard and win. — ’77 Captains Chris Dufault and Jodi LeClaire. To Mr. O’Leary: A world of thanks for being the greatest campaign manager a NHS candidate could wish for. — Carol. To Coach John Graham: Best wishes and a world of thanks for the guidance and leadership that you gave us during our football years at Millbury High. — The Football Team of ’77-’78. To Mr. Garabedian: Many thanks for being a super A.D., and for all the things you have done for us. — The Class of ’78. To the Senior Class: Thanks for all the good times and special memories. Good luck to everyone in all that you strive to achieve. — Debbie Craw To the Class of ’78: James Ramsey Ullman once said: “Challenge is the core and mainspring of all human activity. If there’s an ocean, we cross it, if there’s a disease, we cure it; if there’s a wrong, we right it; if there’s a record, we break it; and finally, if there’s a mountain, we climb it.””. . . Climb and enjoy the ‘‘mountain” of life — Succeed. — a classmate. To all my friends and classmates (especially Deb, Zowie, Debbie and Freddie): I will always treasure your friendships, and I will always think of everyone who has touched my life in some way. Best of luck to everyone. — Carol. To the incoming Freshmen class: How to succeed in high school is defined as INVOLVEMENT. Take an active part in school activities . . . be concerned about what happens. . .care. . .joinaclubor two. . . run for a spot on the student council . . . take part in fund raising. Have a terrific time. These are the best four years of your life. — The Class of ’78. To Everyone: Three Cheers for our teams that went to the districts: Baseball, Girl’s Basketball, Field Hockey, Golf, Boys and Girls Track. — All Millbury Fans. SMILEY It makes everything better, 113 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Amy Lacouture, Vice-President; Ann Zawistowski, Presi- dent; MaryBeth Lucey, Secretary; Pam Belsito, Treasurer. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Diana Boire, Laurie Bratiotis, Karen Belliveau. Absent: Debby Malesky. 114 JUNIORS Just as the arrival of the rings is the most talked-about and argued-over event of sophomore year, the Junior Prom occupies most of the time and energy of every junior class. The Class of ’79 held their prom at the ITAM Club in Worcester and featured the band Flight. Although the prom required a large amount of planning and time, the junior class and their advisors, Mr. Dave Wilbur and Miss Donna Barton, were still able to sponsor a car wash and pancake breakfast, sell jewelry, stage a flea market and sell some rather questionable “‘M M’s” that melted in your hand and rotted in your mouth!? They also started work for their yearbook and have picked a photographer. We, the Yearbook Staff, are grateful to the junior class for contributing a full-page ad to our yearbook. The Class of ’78 would like to wish them the best of luck as the upcoming seniors. We hope you have as great of a senior year as we did! FRESHMEN For the most part, freshmen classes do very little in the way of money-raising activities. There are various reasons for this; one is that Freshmen are last to choose from available fund-raisers. Also, they are unaccustomed to the school and to the idea of needing money for their class. However, this year’s Class of ’81, under the leadership of advisor Gary Robinson, were able to stage an unusual and extremely successful fund-raiser called “‘Almost Anything Goes.” It was patterned after the television show and pitted the four classes against each other. A tremendous crowd was on hand to witness a rather easy and not unexpected victory by the seniors. In addition to this, the freshmen sponsored a car wash bake sale. After one year at Millbury, this class has learned, as has every Freshmen class, that raising money is the main objective for a class that hopes to have an expense-free senior year. If this is any indication, then this FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS: Lorraine Gauthier, Miriam Nash, Gregg Woodward, year’s Freshmen should have little Ken Anderson. trouble. Congratulations to Mr. Robinson and his officers for such an imaginative and lucrative idea as the ‘“‘Almost Anything Goes.”’ SOPHOMORES Ce tis sa ats. gig i 4 — SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Debbie Cashman, Cindy Eckland, Doreen Webb. Absent: Brenda Belsito. The one major event of Sophomore year is the purchasing of class rings. The sophomores eagerly await the arrival of their rings and can be seen shining, polishing, and admiring them for weeks. This year the Class of 1980 decided to allow individual stone colors instead of having a class color. Sophomores are the students who open doors in such a way that their rings are in clear view, who tap their ring band on the desk to let everyone know that they have a class ring on, and who try to read the clock through its reflection on their stone. Once they finished gazing at their rings, the sophomores were ready to start some fund-raising activities. Their advisor, Mr. Dennis Leonard, allowed them to sponsor a dance featuring Albatross, put on two car wash bake sales, sell candy during the month of December and contribute a half-page ad to the ’78 Yearbook, for which the staff is very grateful. Good luck to next year’s upperclassmen. 115 POTPOURRI FASHION SHOW Members of the Intermediate and Advanced Clothing classes put their classroom creations on public display when they modeled their own designed fashions on Wednesday evening, May 3rd, 1978. The fashion show, entitled “Rainbow of Spring Fashions ’78,”’ included presentations of spring sportswear, the layered look, spring dresses, evening wear, the satins, and formal wear. Accessories for the show were provided by Up Front of Millbury, and cosmetics by I Natural Cosmetics of Worcester Center. The show was a big success, due to the hard work of these clothing students and their teachers, Mrs. Barbara Harrington and Mrs. Sylvia Stepien. REGIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE The Student Advisory Committee at Millbury High School is responsible for improving communication among administration, faculty, and student body. The Regional Advisory Committee is very similar to this, but exists on a larger scale. Twice a month an elected student travels to different schools and discusses school-related problems and possible solutions with other students and principals. Pat Belsito was elected as the Regional Representative from Millbury and was able to participate in many workshops. These workshops helped to create better understanding of the operations of area schools. STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY REPRESENTATIVE Each year a junior is elected, by his or her classmates, to be a student government day representative. This means that the elected student travels to Boston approximately every three weeks for workshops. On April 7th, the same date as Student Government Day in Millbury, he or she represents the area in the Boston Legislature. The students are able to pass bills and they also hold mock Senate and House meetings. 116 Michelle Chevalier was voted as our student representative in our junior year. She learned about the functions of the legislature and, specifically, about the Division of Youth Services from its director, John Calhoun. Michelle found this to be a very interesting and worthwhile experience. Maybe some day we will see her running for the office of Director of Youth Services and defeating Mr. Calhoun. POTPOURRI HORACE MANN STUDENTS Any student who maintains an average of 90 or. better for two years becomes eligible for membership into the Horace Mann Society. In our junior year three of our classmates became members. They were Pamela Stansbury, Barbara O’Connor, and Wendy Stansbury. Two more students from our class entered the society in our senior year. They were. Debbie Craw and Pat Gurney. Members of the Junior Class who earned membership into the Horace Mann Society were Tom Lowe, Bob Hebert, Patricia Markey, Paul Pelletir, John Greene, Ray Bricault, and Linda Sauer. The rather small number of students who became members indicates that this is a somewhat difficult task for a student to achieve. BLOOD DRIVE Under the direction of Mrs. Joan Julian, R.N., the Health Occupations classes co-operated with the Red Cross on May 3rd, 1978, to stage a blood drive in the gymnasium. Though this was not a major event at school, it certainly was of utmost importance. Students over the age of seventeen were able to donate a pint of their blood to perhaps save someone else’s life. Many students and townspeople willingly went to the donor center to give a pint of blood. The Health Occupation classes are to be commended for undertaking such a worthwhile project. A-V STAFF Our very delicate audio-visual equipment was well-maintained this year by Mr. Battye and his two valuable student aides, Frank Irr and Ken Hall. As well as maintaining the equipment, the boys also distributed the machines to teachers. 7 118 SPECIAL EVENTS 1974, Za ‘“‘As we are now living in an eternity, the time to be happy is today.” Grenville Kleiser Our Junior Prom was held on May 20th, 1977, at the Auburn Sheraton Yankee Drummer Inn and featured the band, Windfall. The band was able to perform our theme song, “If,” to per- fection along with many of the then current hits. The dance floor was always crowded and toward the end of the evening, the entire group left the floor, held hands, and twisted their way among the tables, making a complete circuit about the room. Dinner was eaten, the Prom Queen and her Court were chosen, and the final rendition of ‘If’ was played, bringing this memorable night to a close. The traditional highlight of any junior year is the Prom, and ours was no exception, but there was one unus- ual occurrence: it seems that no one remembered to buy flowers for our Junior class advisor, Miss Julia DeFeudis. After the error was discovered, our Vice President, Amy Lacouture, had to parade through the Auburn Mall in her Prom gown, looking for a store that sold flowers. Thanks to Amy’s dedication and per- severance in the face of such adversity, Miss DeFeudis received her flowers on time, intact, and probably never fresher. a4 ae i Chaperones Miss Barton and friend; Mr. Mrs. Dupont; Mr. Mrs. Anderson Queen and Her Court: Debbie Bonzey; Jean Comeau; Bonnie Hamilton; Donna Beckim; Paula Moquin. 120 i whentrlg love for life is running cee aga bore yourself for me. — slowly down to die, the end with you, +. en the world was throngh; yne by one, ‘ ars would all go out, ou and I would simply fly aw o— r 121 PEP RALLIES | Beak “WOOLI = ES” 122 M.H.S. opened the football sea- son with a rompin’, stompin’, rowdy Pep Rally; it rained and we lost. . . BUsleane After a successful football sea- son, the week of the traditional Thanksgiving Day game against North- bridge was finally here. It was a week filled with tension, excitement, and tons of school spirit and pride. ‘Beat the Rams” signs filled the gym and the sounds of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” echoed throughout the school as Coach John Graham introduced his WOOLIE MEAN MACHINE to the student body. The gym roared with cheers. Then came Thanksgiving Day . . . a game that you had to see to believe. . . but you know all that. . . The Rams from Northbridge ended our Woolies’ ‘Impossible Dream”’ in the last four seconds of a game that ended in tears and mass hysteria. We will always remember the ’78 Thanks- giving Day game as “the game that was four seconds too long.” 123 CLUBS JOIN TO PRESENT. . . Rela ee Ec me mn iil cr a es SoA sc , Ri) ; NY oN ‘ “THE IMAGINARY INVALID”’ “The Imaginary Invalid,” a three-act play by the French play- write Moliere, was presented by the French and Drama clubs in February. The play was directed by Mr. Roger Desrosiers. This comedy, set in the 17th century, involved a family’s attempts to cure their father of his hypochondriacal tendencies. The play’s cast and director, as well as the fifty students who worked on staging, programs, publi- city, costumes, make-up, and tickets, are to be commended for ‘a job well done.” On ee ee nes Sa ere ne - 2 Bob Wilbur — Bonnefoi Sharon Chasse — Beline Doreen Webb — Purjon (Debbie Boulay, who starred as Louise; and Todd Mogren, who starred as Fleurante, were absent when cast pictures were ta- ken.) 125 STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY ee eee eee “4 “ ’ 126 Friday, April 7th, was Student Government Day in Millbury. M.H.S. students, acting as town and school officials, held meetings and shad- owed their real-life counterparts from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M. and were then treated to a luncheon at Pleasant Valley C ountry Club. These students were presented with certificates of recognition for their contribution to the success of Student Govern- ment Day. Students acting as Selectmen were Pam Belsito, Debbie Craw, Cindy Dawson, Barbara O’Connor and Brett Swenson. Tom Lowe acted as Admini- strative Assistant to the Selectmen. Student School Committee mem- bers were Pat Belsito, Karen Bernier, Marcia Gilbert, Pat Gurney and Kim O’Loughlin.

Under Mr. Bruno’s direction, the Concert Band and Stage Band performed contemporary as well as traditional tunes in a superb fashion. Music such as Chattaway’s ‘‘Prelude and Celebration;” Williams’ “Star Wars” medley; Handel’s “Firework Music;’’ Alpert’s ‘‘Tijuana Tribute;” and Higgins’ “‘Broadway Spectacular” arrangement were executed by the Concert Band. The Stage Band performed many contemporary tunes, such as ‘‘Feelings,” by Morris Albert; and “Proud Mary,” by J.C. Fogerty. The chorus, under the expert direction of Mrs. Silvernail, sang their hearts out with such melodies as Canon’s ‘‘Music Alone Shall Live;” the Irish Folk song ‘“‘Gypsy Rover;” and Hassler and Bach’s “Because All Men Are Brothers.’’ After many chorus members performed solos, they all gathered to sing their very special rendition of “It’s My Desire,”’ by Pullen and Boyer. A lot of hard work and dedication by the music department was quite evident in this beautiful Spring concert performance. ue aoe to ee eee YP maka gab tines, 2 ede: We tpl AN hy Mast ae eee hte 129 NATIONAL HONOR NATIONAL SOCIETY v 130 SOCIETY INDUCTION Bue ——— Each year the National Honor Society holds a beautiful, formal induction ceremony for students who have been selected by the faculty as being outstanding in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership and character. In our sophomore year ten eager members of our class were inducted into the Society, six in our junior year, and two in our senior year. For the 1977-1978 school year, Debbie Craw was elected President, Debbie Ethier, Vice President, Karen Bernier, Secretary, and Alan Marquis, Treasurer. Members of the N.H.S. owe many thanks to their invaluable advisor, Mrs. Frances Dupont. She is the person who transformed an apathetic N.H.S. of ten years ago into the most active club in the school today. Thank you Mrs. Dupont for being such a super friend and advisor. 131 “YOU’RE A GOOD MAN, 132 | CHARLIE BROWN” On April 29th and 30th, the music department presented ‘“‘You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown,” a two act musical based on the comic strip, ‘“‘Peanuts,”’ by Charles M. Shultz. Under the direction of Mrs. Ann Silvernail, and assisted by Roger Desrosiers and Linda Oroszko, the cast members included Mark Chabot as good ’ol Charlie Brown; Robin Ingalls as “crabby” Lucy Van Pelt; Ellen Wilson as the World War I flying ace, Snoopy; Michael Geer as the thumb-sucking, blanket-clutching Linus; Ken Schonborg as the tempermental pianist Schroeder; and Sharon Chasse as the very mixedup girl, Peppermint Patty. The cast was backed up by a chorus and stage crew composed of Wendy Boyda, Carol Valois, Cindy Pluciennik, Jane Jagielski, Pamela Cardin, Debbie Megarry, Jim Giro, Janet Sherman, Pat Petrie and Percussionist Mike Mandella. The Yearbook Staff would like to thank Carol Valois, who graciously supplied us with these photos. PANCAKE BREAKFAST A traditional fund-raiser of the senior class is the Pancake Breakfast. The seniors mix, cook, and serve pancakes to a number of hesitant customers, who, after paying one price, are allowed to eat all they possibly can. There were a variety of ways to approach this all-you-can-eat policy. The polite and dignified technique was employed by our beloved faculty member and coach, Mr. Robert Nicoletti. He ate a single pancake; it was a mere foot and a half in diameter. The more practical and efficient style was exemplified by many members of our senior class. They chose the ‘“‘eat and run” approach: eat your pancakes, run to the kitchen, get a refill, run back to your seat, eat your pancakes . Whether you are cooking or eating, the Pancake Breakfast is one of the more fun-filled senior activities. al a 2 a Re ee Pit ey beth 136 TTL EE a ; pl a ee med Erte Since our class had heard so much about the Oak ’n Spruce resort in the Berkshire’s from last year’s seniors, it was decided that we would go there on our class trip. Thanks to the order Mr. Morrill put in for a good day; Friday, May 19th, dawned clear and sunny; and remained beautiful throughout the day. Our class put the resort’s facilities to good use. It was rare to see the volleyball court, swimming pools, golf course or lounge without a large number of students in, on, or milling about them. Students could also be seen showing their talents at softball, frisbee, golf, ping pong, and pinball; while others enjoyed the “take-it-easy,” relaxing atmosphere of the whirlpcol bath and saunas. As expected, lunch and dinner were eagerly awaited. Lunch passed uneventfully, but dinner saw the start of ice cube and whip cream wars between the teachers and students. Teacher’s attacked included Mr. Dave Wilbur, Mr. Charles Capparelli, and Mr. Roger Desrosiers. The students reported no casualties. Everyone seemed to have a great time on the class trip. We hope that next year’s seniors are lucky enough to have a repeat performance. 137 ATHLETIC AWARDS BANQUET ESS OLE = : gid INN UAT MILLBURY MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL JVOLETOL z) z W MAY 25, 1978 -6:00 P.M- 138 On the evening of May 25th, 1978, all Millbury High School athletes were honored at the 3rd annual Athletic Awards Banquet in the gymnasium. Mr. Garabedian presided over the affair as certificates, letters, jackets, tee-shirts, plaques and trophies were presented to the deserving athletes. Ms. Margaret Naylor of the Central Mass. Women’s Board of Basketball Officials presented a good sportsmanship award to Coach Margaret Bradford and the girls’ basketball team for excelling in sportsmanship during the past season. This award was a true honor for one of our teams to receive. Highlighting the evening was the presentation of Most Valuable Player Trophies to outstanding athletes in the various sports. The following students, all seniors, received MVP trophies: Football, Chris Matson; Cross Country, Tom Szkutak; Field Hockey, Day Orrell; Soccer, Brett Swenson; Girl’s Basketball, Barbara O’Connor; Boy’s Basketball, David Hanson; Ice Hockey, Paul Antaya; Softball, Donna Stolberg; Baseball, Kevin Hartigan; Boy’s Track, Stephen Taylor; Girl’s Track, Chris Dufault; Golf, Jim Witkowski. The senior class presented a padded swivel chair on rollers to Mr. Garabedian so he can wheel from one side of his office to the other without leaving his seat. We are truly grateful for everything Mr. Garabedian has done for our athletic department, the Awards Night itself being a prime example. His dedication, and that of the coaches, is evident in the increased number of SWCL championships and other awards that Millbury has gained in recent years. Congratulations go to all athletes and coaches who received awards on this evening. 139 SENIOR SUPPER 140 MAY 11, 1978 Our Senior Supper was held at the William Paul House in Holden, Mass. The Senior Supper is similar to a prom, but there are a few important differences: no date is needed for the Senior Supper; and only members of the Senior class may attend. The Senior Supper was one of our more formal Senior events, but there was a relaxed and carefree atmosphere in the air. This was probably due to the presenting of the class gifts, which caused knowing looks, bursts of laughter, and gasps of surprise and shock. ™ The featured band, Flight, played most of the current hits, such as ‘‘Hot Legs,” “Main Street,” ‘““School’s Out For The Summer,” “Cocaine,” ‘Running On Empty,” ‘Rock and Roll,” and ‘Slow Ride.”’ Despite the small size of the dance floor, it was always overflowing with people. Many of the chaperones also danced, but one big disappointment was Roger Desrosiers’ failure to show us the Latin Hustle. Other than that, the Senior Supper showed everyone a really good time, although the night went by much too quickly. 141 ACADEMIC AWARDS NIGHT On June 7th, Academic Awards Night, Mr. Martin Roach addressed the Senior Millbury High School students were Class as guest speaker on this evening. honored for their academic achievement. A total of 49 awards amounting to Academic achievement awards, Horace $9,250 in scholarships were presented to Mann awards, and local scholarships a large variety of seniors. were presented on this night. 142 CLASS DAY Class Day activities involved the reading of the Class Prophecy, Class History, Last Will and Testament, the dedication of the Yearbook, and the singing of the Class Song. Amy Lacouture served as emcee for this event. The Class Prophecy was read by Chyrel Allard, Donna Beckim, and Chris Matson; the Class History was read by Pam Belsito, Sandy Hall, and Crystal Ann Rauer; and the Last Will and Testament was read by Peter Fitzpatrick and Mary Beth Lucey. Maureen Bernier read the Yearbook dedication; and Ellen Wilson led our class in the singing of our class song, “I’ve Been Searchin’ So Long.” A few special presentations were also made on Class Day ’78. The class presented an inscribed clock to Mrs. Dupont for all she did for our class and for the school in general. We also presented Mr. (Chubbs) Morrill and Mr. Desrosiers with tee-shirts that have ‘‘Seniors Do It Better” and ‘“‘Class of ’78 is Great’’ emblazoned across the front. These were just modest reminders, to our two class advisors, of what an unbelievably fantastic class we were, are, and forever shall be. 143 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT To the next Freshman Class: a book entitled ‘‘How to Survive High School.” To the next Sophomore Class: 3,640 long periods full of hard labor, term papers, essays, homework and aggravation.
