Kneeling: Donald Cox, Donald Ackroyd, Richard Bayramshian, Paul Dymtryck, Howard Ingraham, Louis Moore, Michael Mushnick, Charles Harris. Standing: Edward Roak, (Co-captain), Edward Duhamel, William Tate, Edward Alger, (Co-captain). The Millis Football Squad, co-captained by Eddie Alger and Eddie Roak, had a very successful 1951 season with five wins, one loss, and one tie. The most satisfying game proved to be with Medway when we broke a 23-year old losing streak. It was the first time that we beat Medway since 1928 and we won 33-0. All the football fans who were present at this outstanding game will long remember it. Many reporters say that this team was the greatest in the school's history. Both Eddie Alger and Billy Tate set records for the school. Eddie was an outstanding passer and Billy was top scorer in Class D and the fifth leading scorer in the state. Co-captain Roak was presented an autographed football by his team- mates at a banquet given by the townspeople.

Class Wil We the members of the Senior Class of 1952 having successfully completed four years of formal education in Millis High School, do hereby bequeath some of our more outstanding traits and treasures to those we leave behind. Being of sound mind and body we, therefore, request that the following be carried out. To Mrs. Barrett we leave a clock that will always be three minutes slow so that the future seniors can be late and get away with it. To Mr. Doyle we leave a new set of P. D. books because the class of 1952 wore the pages thin as a result of extensive study. To Mr. Brown we leave many thanks for everything that he has done for us. We also leave him permission to get a new car. We'd like to leave him money for it but that’s carrying things too far. Last, but not least, we leave—that’s what really matters to him. To Mr. Sweeney, Joan Thatcher leaves her red haired temper. He never seems to be able to get angry. To Mr. Doliner we leave Jon Margolis who is expected to step into Eddie Roak’s position on the football field. To Miss McKinstry we leave our very best wishes for success in the coming basket- ball seasons. To Miss Sellers we leave a new set of nerves for the coming Senior Play. To Mrs. Magraw we leave a television set. We hear that’s the newest machine for Office Practice. To Miss Nolan we leave her exclusive English class—but then again perhaps she would rather leave them to us. To Mrs. Kenney we bequeath a com- pletely equipped biology lab for disecting frogs and snakes. To Mrs. Gavin we leave 438 test tubes and a host of other fragile glass equipment. They were only accidents—really. To Mr. Mendoza and Miss Currivan we leave the memories of the Washinaton trip and give our thanks to two wonderful chaperones. Donald Sharpe leaves his ability to miss Diesel Locomotives to Muriel Winiker with the hope that she has better luck with it than he did. Albert Gurner leaves his famous date book to George Smith with one word of warning—if her father answers, hang up. Hazel Lipsett leaves the way she entered —without a word. Richard LaCroix leaves his neatly bound four-year set of English note books to remain twenty-two as a model for all aspiring English students. Barbara B. and Joan T. leave their ability to get along with each other to Mary and Eddie. Donnie Frink leaves twenty pounds to Dicky B. He’s undernourished, you know. Mary Maranjian leaves her never failing ability to be early to Howie I. Roderick Washer leaves his tenor voice to Michael Mushnick. He tries so hard to sing. Nancy Brodeur leaves Billy in charge of Eddie Alger with the hope that he can catch any stray passes thrown to Billy by any girl. David Clark leaves his way with the girls to Phil Gilpatrick. Judy Barrier leaves her ability to talk a lot to bashful Janet Brodeur. Jimmie Power leaves a book to the Hotel Detective in Washington entitled, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” Pat Kubacki leaves permanent talking permission in second period study hall to the juniors who make the grade. Eddie Roak leaves his height to Alan Newell to be used in the coming football season. Jackie M. and Betty S., or should I say Durante and Jackson leave their musical ability to Carole G. and Cynthia S. Billy Clark leaves his hip boots to the class of 1955 to be used as a necessary pre- caution when listening to George Harris’ stories. Gerry Christian leaves her umbrella to be used for singing in the rain at 3:30 a.m. Jimmie M. leaves his Crosley to Eddie D.; he heard he was looking for a new hot rod. Becky Washer leaves her stenographic ability to the highest bidder. George Lipsett leaves to Charlie Harris his love for early awakenings and his shot gun. We wish them luck on their pursuit of the deer. Pat Murphy leaves her diary entitled, “Hotel Hamilton, Room 917, with orders not to be opened until she can get out of town. Last, but not least, we leave behind pleasant memories of every kind. Thanks to those who have helped us prepare for our future. Their assistance and guidance will never be forgotten. Here rendered this eleventh day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two. May those mentioned herein forever hold their peace. : —James Power Witnessed by: Dr. Joseph Johnson Professor Arthur Watson
