POTPOURRI NATIONAL MERIT FINALIST For the first time, Millbury High finally had a finalist in the prestigious National Merit Scholarship Competition. John Greene achieved this honor by his high scores on the PSAT NMSOQT given in October of the junior year. Although he did not receive a scholarship, he did receive a Certificate of Merit for this high academic honor on Academic Awards Night from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Only one-half of one percent of the students taking the PSAT achieve the Finalist ranking. ZOO CREW A new group appeared on the scene at basketball games this past season. Calling themselves the “Zoo Crew”, they rocked the gym with deafening yells and off-color cheers throughout the season. Although some people thought them overly rowdy, the Crew really did help to boost school spirit and the morale of the basketball team. Zoo Crew members could be identified by their bright red shirts, which had nicknames such as “Poo Bear,” “Toodie,” and “Father B” on the back. HORACE MANN SOCIETY The Class of 1979 clearly demonstrated its academic superiority by having eight of its members selected for the Horace Mann Society. This is Millbury High’s highest academic honor, and is only given to those students who have maintained an average of 90 or above for two years. The seniors in Horace Mann are Raymond Bricault, Judy Dudley, John Greene, Robert Hebert, Thomas Lowe, Patricia Markey, Paul Pelletier, and Linda Sauer. Juniors who have gained membership are Lynn Ethier, Martha Norton, and Joyce Ostrowski. 37

POTPOURRI STATE STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY REPRESENTATIVE Todd Mogren was elected as our Representative to the State House for Student Government Day during the junior year. Todd traveled to several workshops on government before the day. On April 7, 1978, he represented Millbury in the State Senate, taking the place of Senator Foley for the day. He participated in a mock Senate meeting and took part in debating several bills. Todd enjoyed his day of power, and he has stated that it has increased his desire to run for President (or maybe for God) someday in the future. MEDIEVAL BANQUET On Friday, December 22, Mrs. Dias’ and Mr. Wadsworth’s senior English classes prepared and ate a medieval meal. The menu consisted of cream of cucumber soup, roast beef in sauce Robert, and fried herb puffs. Also, venison and pheasant stew were supplied by Brian Wilczynski. To go along with medieval ways (which were being studied in class), all food was served and eaten with the fingers. All the foods were served by some of Mr. Wadsworth’s juniors (also known as slaves). PRESIDENTIAL CLASSROOM Every year for the past four years, Millbury High has sent four seniors to study for a week in Washington, D.C. in the Presidential Classroom Program. The students take tours of the historic sites of our nation’s capital and participate in seminars dealing with various aspects of American Government. Some of the speakers this year included Senator Muskie of Maine, Chris Wallace of NBC News, and General Bernard Rogers, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army. In addition, the students also gain the unique experience of mingling with people from all over the United States and from all cultural backgrounds. The seniors privileged to go this year were Karen Bernier, John Greene, Bob Hebert, and Linda Sauer.
