Millis High School - Mowhawk Yearbook (Millis, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1951 volume:

DEDICATION We, the class of 1951, wish to dedicate this first issue of the school yearbook, Millisonian, to Mr. Clyde F. Brown, our principal. Throughout his twenty-six years of teaching and guiding the students of Millis, he gave willingly every bit of his time and effort to anyone who might need his help... We shall always remember his excellent advice and sym- pathetic understanding, and although, we, the Seniors, are leaving the portals of Millis High School, perhaps forever, he will ever remain in our memories, a true and lasting friend. . February 15, 1951 To the Class of '51, Millis High: Four months from now when you graduate, it appears that the world will still be in a confused state. To weather this condition good character is a must. In your convictions be strong, not weak; with yourselves be honest, not dishonest; for your - state and country perform the duties of citizenship and accept the privilege of its citizenship. Regardless of the path you follow, whether it be the road to higher education, the Service or business, I feel that your character will bring credit to you as individuals, to your school and to your community. In a word, success and happiness to each of you in your endeavors. Sincerely, feng @. Peg Superintendent February 17, 1951 Class of 1951, Greetings and Congratulations! Before leaving us on June 7, 1951, I wish you would look back and see yourselves as we saw you entering high school on September 6, 1947 and consider what changes may have taken place. I remember you as a quiet class, but for the most part alert and ready to do your job. Now, as Seniors soon to graduate from high. school, I believe you have developed in ability, self- reliance, and definiteness of purpose. I consider you a very democratic group, exercising considerable free speech and free enterprise in your daily lives. Some of you will attend college in the fall, some will enter the service of our country, and some have other definite plans. Whatever your future may be in our troubled world, I hope you will maintain high ideals, and carry on with energy and perseverance, exhibiting that independence of thought of which you already have shown evidence. Sincerely yours, Wp (acon Brown, Principal SCHOOL SONG Gray is the peaceful night; Day's closing brings it nigh-- Crimson which streaks the sky In radiant light; Those are our colors dear Though we in numbers few, To them we will be true When far or near. Each year we work and strive To keep our ideals high, High as the distant sky Each one alive; Memories of happy hours, Millis thou school of ours, Hear this our welcome lay, Crimson and Gray.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS Sam Aaron Margolis Richard Kasakaitis One day, Sam and I sat down and began reminiscing over the history of our class from grammar school days until the present. We have even given some thought to the future of our class. The things that we recalled were: the large class we had back in our first years of school, the homework, the stern teachers, the day after our Prom and detention--but most of all we remembered the fun we had. Recollections of our early class history are vague. The most important thing we remember is the big class that we were from the first to the fourth grade. Then we slowly started to decrease in size from the forties to the twenties, the size of our present class. I don't think that any of us will forget the first few days of our Freshman year. In those days, we were always late for our classes, and we all thought that the homework was too much for us; but detention soon cured this. Our Freshman homeroom teacher was Mr. Killilea, coach of boys’ sports. I don't think many of the girls in our class will forget running to the back stairs to welcome him to school each day. Our Freshman Class consisted of twenty-four students--fourteen girls and ten boys. During the course of the year, Frances Fulton, who came from Jeffersonville, Vermont, joined our class, but soon moved to Holliston. We lost two other classmates this year--Billy Just and John Gass. Our class officers were: President------------- John Young Vice President----- Joanne Gannon Secretary---------- Patsy Brodeur Treasurere-----n----- Doris Veiner The day before our Christmas vacation began, the class had a Christmas party. We gave Mr. Killilea a pipe and some tobacco which, after a little pleading, he filled and smoked. Our homeroom was the great attraction this year; everyone sang, even Mr. Killilea, who gave us his rendition of some of his school songs. We started our Sophomore year with twenty-three students--four- teen girls and nine boys. Our homeroom teacher was Miss Fiola under whose supervision we elected the following class officers: President------------ Lenny DiCenzo Vice President---------- John Young Secretary------------- Danny Gordon Treasurer- -=-------- Patsy Brodeur 16 Lorraine Cribby was elected the cheerleader from our room this year. During the year, Billy Carlso n left us to enter the Norfolk Agri- cultural School and Tommy Lovelace sought employment at Herman's Academy. Laura Mae Bennett also left us at the end of our Sophomore year for the Herman Shoe Academy. The big event this year was the ordering of our class rings which we received the first of our Junior year. We ushered in our Junior year with Miss Sellers, a new member of the M.H.S. faculty. We numbered twenty strong at the beginning of this year--thirteen girls and seven boys. The results of our class elections were as follows: President------------ Lenny DiCenzo Vice President---------- John Young Secretary--------------- Helen Ward Treasureress---ee-e--= Betty Thorne Lorraine Cribby and Evelyn Cassidy were cheerleaders from the Junior room. As the date for the Junior Prom drew near, we held a penny sale to help finance the cost of our Prom. After the penny sale (held on March 22) the class went over to Walter's Dairy to celebrate its success. On May 11, we held our Prom. The music was furnished by Ken Reeves and his orchestra. The auditorium was decorated with angels, which seemed very appropriate for our class. Our class president, Lenny DiCenzo, and the Senior Class secretary, Marilyn Gordon, led the Grand March which was directed by Mrs. Thorne. The class later went out to celebrate a successful prom; part of the class went to the Meadows while the others went to the Latin Quarter. At the 1950 Graduation Exercises, two members of our class re- ceived awards. The first, The Harvard Book Award, was given to - Sam Aaron Margolis; the second, The Washington Franklin History Award, to Richard Kasakaitis. About this time the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary decided on the two boys and the one girl who would represent the town of Millis at Boys' State and Girls! State. The Juniors who were chosen to attend this convention as soon as gate closed were Richard Kasakaitis, John Young, and Anne Louise ongdon. Finally our big year rolled around; we all made the grade as SOPHISTICATED SENIORS. We totaled twenty--thirteen girls and seven boys. Mr. Robbins was our homeroom teacher. The results of this year's elections were: President Ss etetateteteete tte Richard Kasakaitis Vice President-----------... Danny Gordon Secretary-------------...--- Janet Simbol Treasurer---------- -.- - Margaret Kubacki Lorraine Cribby, Evelyn Cassidy, Joanne Gannon, and Pats Brodeur were cheerleaders from our class. Lorraine Cribby tas elected President of the Athletic Association and also Captain of the Cheerleaders. We had a little difficulty in getting the school newspaper, THE LIVE WIRE, started. Some of us went to the trouble of circulating a petition which we found was not needed. As Seniors we started to raise money for our Washington Trip. First we sold Christmas cards, which proved to be quite successful. Then we presented our Senior Play, CRACKED NUTTS. It was directed by Miss Sellers to whom we later presented a necklace and pin, and a bouquet of red roses, our class flower, for all the help she had given us in making this a huge success. On Friday night, December 29, our class held a party at Betty Thorne's home. Only a few attended because of the bad weather, but those who were there certainly enjoyed themselves. This is the history of our class to the present time. Some of our future events are: a penny sale, January 10; a food sale, February 8; an Easter Monday Dance; and our Washington Trip on which we shall leave Friday, the thirteenth of April. The last important event of our Senior Year will be graduation, the most solemn event of our entire twelve grades of school. The day will be June 7, 1951. At this time each will receive his di- ploma. Some of us will go into the service, others will go on to college, and the rest will seek employment in the many business establishments. 17 18 CLASS WILL We, the members of the graduating class of 1951, believing that we are possessed of a reasonable amount of intelligence and a number of unusual talents and abilities, willingly wish to dis- tribute the remains of our traits among the underclassmen. To Jimmy Murphy, Lenny DiCenzo leaves his football prowess and hopes that it will benefit Millis a little more next year. To some deserving underclassman, Betty Thorne leaves her care- fully done World History papers. We're sure that if they follow her pattern, they will do well. To her two sisters, Rosaline Winiker hands down her worthy name and we hope they do as much for it as she has done. To Becky Washer, Marilyn Pollard leaves her weak little voice and occasional blushes with hopes that it won't annoy her teachers as much as it did Marilyn's. To Pat Kubacki, Lorraine Cribby leaves her old car that travels to Norfolk now, because of force of habit. Won't that be nice Pat? Janet Simbol leaves a book on How to Hold a Good Argument™ to anyone who is having a little trouble with their easy to get along with teacher! Janet loves a red hot argument and we're sure that her book is of great value. Margaret Kubacki leaves tips to the Junior Glass on how to get along with Mr. Robbins in P. D. next year. We hope that they will make out as well as she did! Phillip White leaves an extra key and the directions to the Framingham Union Hospital Nurse's Home to any one who is having a little trouble. Good luck! To Richard LaCroix, Sam Aaron Margolis leaves his slowness, so that he won't race down the corridors so much. To Donald Sharpe, George Lipsett, and Donald Frink, Danny Gordon leaves better luck than he had in hanging on to his license, To Jackie Murtagh, Evel Cassidy leaves her ability to charm a certain football p ayer. a wos To Joan Thatcher, Joanne Gannon leaves her red hair with hopes that it will help her to find someone as nice as Charlie. To Albert Gurner, John Young leaves his position at Herman's Academy--gladly! To Gerry Christian, Doris Veiner leaves her good luck in re- ceiving letters from a certain someone and strength to answer so many. Gerry will be in the same position as Doris when the spring rolls around. We, Patsy and Doris, have decided to leave Richard Kasakaitis's wonderful leadership to every president of the future senior classes. We certainly have appreciated all he has done for us. To David Clark, Joshua Mael leaves his school-girl figure. He certainly can use it. To the highest bidder, Helen Ward leaves her adorable face. How much is offered girls? To Barbara Olson and Barbara Burdows, Alice Simarrian leaves her good attendance record--at home! To Carol Greene and Cynthia Simpson, Anne Louise Congdon leaves her newly published book, How to Get Your Man at a DeMolay Minstrel Show. I'm sure you girls know what we mean! To Mr. Brown, we leave our sincere thanks for all the help, advice, and understanding he has given us during our twelve years in Millis High School. To Miss Fiola, we leave a bigger French room, not one that is two by four and has only one table!!! To Mrs. Magraw, we wish that we could leave Anne Louise, Evelyn, and Lorraine; but as we can't, we leave her her choice of three Junior girls to act as her secretaries. To Mrs. Gavin, we leave a large solid geometry class for next year, or did you enjoy the smaller one, Mrs. Gavin? To Mr. Doliner, we leave a record that says, Keep quiet Senior girls, for use in his third period study. To Miss LaLiberte, we hope that her future gym classes will be more willing than we were to put on our gym suits. To Miss Sellers, we leave a bottle of grey hair remover in case next year's Senior play is as cracked as ours was! 19 20 To Mr. Young, we leave the good fortune of finding a few Junior girls who are as much enthused about manual training as a few of our Senior girls are. We wonder why? To Mr. Wilmarth, we leave a perfect Senior class for next year with hopes that they will stay awake. To Mr. Robbing we leave a brand-new Cadillac with the hopes that he won't have as much trouble getting to Millis on cold days next year as he did this year. To the Freshman, we leave the privilege of enjoying three more years of fun and learning. To the Sophomores, we leave our congratulations for having so many of their boys represent our football team. You've done a swell job boys, and girls--you should be proud of them. To the Juniors, we leave Mr. Robbins and the Senior home room and hope that they have as much fun as we did. In witness whereof, we make and proclaim this, our last will and testament. Signed: Patsy Brodeur Doris Veiner Witnessed by: Dean Martin Jerry Lewis CLASS PROPHECY Anne Louise Congdon Rosaline Winiker It is the year 1964 and the first in a decade that I, Rosaline Winiker, have returned to my home town. I am now a reporter for the NEW YORK TIMES; and my boss, Evelyn, the editor of my paper, having a most understanding heart, decided to give Doris and me a joint va- cation. Doris is another small town gal who made good in the big city, for she is none other than the columnist of How to Make Friends and Influence People fame. What a reunion we had with both our families! It was wonderful to see the folks and the old homesteads once again--grand to see the town itself and marvel at its growth in our absence. One of the very first stons of my tour of the town was the school. No longer is it consolidated as in my youthful days, but Millis now boasts of an ultra-modern building that accommodates some six hundred students. This is our new Junior-Senior High School, while the building I at- tended from kindergarten through high school is now for grammar grades only. Hesitantly, I entered the newer building and soon found my way to the office marked, Superintendent. A young man of medium height answered my knock; and for a moment I thought I was mistaken, for there stood Sam Aaron, saying, Ah, yes, what can I do for you? Sam Aaron, I all but shouted, and then only did he remove his glasses and say, Upon my word, 'tis Rosaline. He invited me into his office and there we enjoyed a lengthy chat--reminiscing a bit, then informing each other of the progress we had made and that of some of our classmates. Margaret, he informed me, had recently captured the honor of having sold more life insurance than anyone in the New England area. I wasn't surprised for wasn't Margaret always a super saleswoman. Her generous nature did much to help her attain her goal. Imagine my surprise when I heard Janet was a member of the school committee and was giving her every effort to the advancement of education with especial emphasis on history and problems of de- mocracy. Could this woman be the same Janet of old that I recalled. The years must have mellowed her former thoughts. Never has Millis had such an enthusiast on its educational board. Finally, I was escorted to the gymnasium where, lo and behold, there was Lorraine running and whistling and yelling all at once, 21 22 Personal foul on 12. Yes, Lorraine had carved herself a wonderful career; she had been the athletic type ever since I could remember. At noon the four of us lunched together and after a social half hour I bid them farewell, hoping our paths would cross more fre- quently As I had promised to join the folks and drive to Boston with them, I returned home to find mother completing a sale with her Fuller Brush representative. A quick look, then a long second one, and smiles and handshakes were exchanged, for there stood none other than Lenny. His shy innocence plus his confidence in himself and his product had been the chief factors in his success as top salesman. The years had been kind to him and though he canvassed this area, his home was in Boston. Joanne, he informed me, had suddenly become fond of animals and was now a breeder and trainer of canines. She boasts of having the largest kennels in the state and thoroughbreds, no less. Why, her den, Lenny went on to relate, is a trophy room. Her dogs may have the ribbons, but she sure has the chips. It was wonderful talking to Lenny, but that trip to Boston was waiting. Though he said, Good day, he did promise.to drop in and visit me the week-end before I left for New York. While riding into town, the folks and I discussed the recent elections and their outcomes. Suddenly Dad said, By the way, did you know that the Phil White just appointed to the cabinet is none other than your former classmate? I don't envy him trying to find a way out of the red for the United States. I was flabbergasted. All I could think of saying at the moment was, Imagine that--our little Phil, practically the President of the United States. Whoever would have thought that. Come to think of it, Dad, did you realize that Marilyn, who struggled and fought with every ounce of her strength, in last vear's ten-h our filibuster, was also my classmate? You don't say was the only remark I heard. I still think Marilyn had a point. Once in town, we separated, and I chose to wander about--just taking in the sights, and noticed the changes in the past decade. Be- fore I knew where my feet were taking me, I found myself on West St. and there from the second floor of a newly erected building was a sign reading, Kasakaitis Garment Mfg. Co. Guaranteed Form-Fitting. We don't slip or slide--We just hold your hide. Immediately I knew that was Dick, but I just couldn't reason how or why he ventured into that field. I was about to investigate when someone turned me about and exclaimed, Why hello, Rae, and who but Alice was standing there gayly smiling up at me. Of all the angels in heaven, TI replied. How are you and what and where have you been doing and keeping your- self? Oh dear, she laughed, you remember me--I'm still a star gazer--still eyeing and studying those heavenly bodies. Those same heavenly bodies? JI asked. No, not the same, but heaverly bodies all the same, she laughingly replied. Arm in arm we strolled to Schrafft's and over a cup of coffee and dessert, we relived the past ten to twelve years. How wonder- ful it was reminiscing once again--the third time in just a few short hours! Suddenly Alice said, Rae, you must come with me. Whatever are you talking about, I asked. Alice would give me no satisfaction and just pulled me along with her. Before I realized where she was taking me, I found myself seated in a large auditorium, crowded with excited and impatient men and women. Who, what, where, I began, but suddenly a sh-sh-sh was heard and there on the plate form was a young man giving forth of himself and his wisdom a la Billy Graham of 1950. Recognize him? whispered Alice. Uh-uh, I replied. None other than our own quiet John Young. I gasped Not Johnny. Yet my eyes did not deceive me; for sure as there'll be the sun in the morning, there stood Johnny, voice pleading and beckoning, his very soul giving of what he knew was and is in store for mankind. After the lecture, Alice and I exchanged farewells and I hur- ried on to meet the folks. We returned home, dined and adjourned to the living room to relax and watch TV for a while. After John Cameron Swayze had completed his national news, he jolted me out of my seat with his next item. A young lady, unknown to the sports world, had disguised herself and succeeded in winning the $150,000 Irish Sweepstakes. 'Tis said, Swayze continued to comment, Pat Brodeur, the victorious jockey, riding Lucky Bob, had gained her experience in her senior play. The rest of the evening was very quiet and restful with only one pleasant interruption. I received a telegram from my boss, Evelyn. She had signed Betty to a contract writing the news of the day from one of the most glamorous cities in the States, Hollywood. Betty had always desired to become a jurnalist, and I was happy for her, Great day in the morning, I said, one might say that the New York Times is run by Millis folks and women folks at that. The following morning I drove down to the post office to pur- chase a book of stamps. At the entrance, was a baby carriage with one of the lovliest infants I have ever seen. I stopped to admire it and was surprised to compare the resemblance of the child to my former classmate Helen Ward. No sooner had that thought crossed my mind when out walked Helen. Once again I enjoyed the warm hand- clasp of friendship and soon found myself accepting her invitation to visit her the following evening. I'll have a surprise for you when you come over, was her parting remark. Surprise should not have been the word, for when I did arrive at Helen's, who, but Joshua and Danny, were there. After our initial greetings, we settled down to discuss our happy hours during high school days, Finally, I asked Joshua what his interests were. Are they still cattle and women? I asked and shyly he replied, Well, partially. After a bit more coaxing, he told us he was experimen- ting in the breeding of cattle. It's back breaking milking those cows, so I'm cross breeding a Holstein with a camel, and pray for a 23 24 long-legged cow. I'll let you know if I succeed, he smiled. tAnd you, Danny, I said. Have you found the work you most enjoy? ‘Ah shore did and what fun I'm having, he laughed. Josh and Helen joined him; but I was still bewildered until he said, Well, I'm chief of sanitation at Pembroke and don't you laff-- it's a responsible job with pullenty of laffs. Leastwise, ah enjoy it and they enjoy me.” And so the evening was spent, with a bit more of small talk, scrumptuous food, and fond farewells. The next few days I spent at family reunions and no less than three reunions with some of the aforementioned classmates. I so dreaded the hour of parting with this new-found world of mine; but such is the life of a career woman, so mid tears and vows, I boarded my plane and soon was in New York. Feeling completely exhausted after a week's vacation at home, I decided to treat myself to my very first trip to a beauty salon for a reconditioning program. There I was led into a private room and bath, and instructed to soak in a special hot solution for fifteen minutes. Once relaxed on a special prop, I rang and in walked a familiar person--land sakes alive, it was Anne Louise ready to massage and help revive me. Friend in need is a friend indeed I greeted, and not before that did Anne Louise realize who I was. I dare say never were the hands of a masseuse so firm yet so gentle and never was a girl more grateful. After Anne Louise had given me another hold on life, we had lunch sent up to us. Over steaming coffee, I related the glori- ous week I had just spent at home; and with each tale, she would suddenly rock forward, slap her thigh and say, I just knew that Phil would amount to something, or Imagine, Helen with a lovely family, or Josh, Danny, and Len, the three musketeers. We both agreed that though we did not have the largest class ever to be graduated from Millis High School, we most certainly can claim having had the one most likely to succeed, as time alone has proven.
