ike S NSD A ] THE SENIOR CLASS OF MILLIS HIGH SCHOOL Millis, Massachusetts PRESENTS THE Editor Dorothy Sokol Assistant Editor Arthur DuHamel Photography Editor Carol Meleski Business Manager Molly Lydon Assistant Business Manager Frank Newell FOREWORD The Class of 1958 will have special reasons to treasure this album of memories. For in it we will be able to see our classmates as children on the baby page, as teenagers on the snapshot page, and as tomorrow’s adults on the senior pages. Our en- thusiastic teachers, those gala so- cial events, and teams which demonstrated the finest qualities of sportsmanship will live anew in our thoughts. Millis High School is a part of us, and with the aid of this book it will remain so in the years to come. CONTENTS Faculty Seniors Activities Senior Features Clyde F. Brown His constant readiness to be of assistance and his never-tiring faith in us will be an inspi- ration always. It is with deepest appreciation that the Class of 1958 dedicates this year- book to our beloved principal, Mr. Clyde F. Brown. Administration Clyde F. Brown, Prin. Dr. George C. Roy, Supt. Henry M.

The class officers worked hard to make it a tremendous success. This and our candy-selling activities at the Senior play were, however, but a prelude to the work and fun of the Junior Prom. Our theme was ‘“Mu- sic in the Air” and the music of Eddie Wini- ker’s orchestra, the gym transformed into a fairy land of spring blossoms, shimmering silhouettes, and gay couples—the whole gala evening is still in our thoughts.

Although, at first, there seemed as many different choices as there were class members, a ring designed by In- ternational Metal was our final choice. Proud- ly wearing our bright new emblems of progress, we await with anticipation our junior year.

In fact, the pre-Christ- mas edition finally came out in February. Under the direction of Editor Newell, the staff had worked their brains, fingers, and typewriters into a state of exhaustion. Mrs. Barrett and Mrs. Kenny had insomnia. Our patience was rewarded, however, with an informative and lively “Live Wire”.

MILEIS SENTORS @Ak Early Monday morning, April 21, twenty-two anx- ious seniors could be seen boarding a plane at Logan Airport to take the long-awaited Washing- ton Trip. Little did we know that this would begin the most wonderful week of our lives. Patiently waiting On our way The Jefferson Memorial “Are you tired?” A brilliant idea A It seems like a travelogue as we think back—fab- ulous plane rides — Washington at dusk — New York at night—and then homeward. It was with tired feet, heavy suit cases, but happy hearts, that we arrived in Millis with memories of an un- forgettable trip.

MILLIS 7°58 “The voyage will be twelve years long,” we were told. “The water is apt to be rough, and the captains get pretty cranky with their crew at times.” With these inspired words, phrased a little bit differently by each of our parents, the Class of 1958 set out on its maiden voyage through the first six grades. How hectic those days were! Little girls’ pigtails were used as ropes by little boys, and scraped knees were the main care of the ship’s doctor. Parents tortured their children with leggings, and captains used the corners behind the open doors as the brig. The sixth grade, however, finds us quite matured. There are several engagements of sixth-grade boys to sixth-grade girls and there is even the loss of a diamond ring. The seventh grade meant. junior high, and the class as midshipmen anxiously await- ed assignments from our captains. The wind was taken right out of our sails, however, when Miss Nolan tried to teach us how to conjugate an irregular verb, and Mrs. Ken- ney battled the tricks of case three in per cent with us. The first successful mixed party was held in the eighth grade. At this time several of us found out that a spinning bottle doesn’t always mean sour milk! The ship is a little more steady now; the course is very clear. Freshmen we are, and no one seemed particularly enthused that we great, big people were entering the high- er school. In fact, the Seniors had a habit of stepping on us in the hall which annoyed most of us greatly. Lockers were scarce, and most of us stowed our gear with a fellow shipmate. This often resulted in “mutiny on the bounty” when a Junior Business Training book turn- ed up in Algebra I. We were duly welcomed a little later in the year with plenty of whip- ped cream and water at a special ship’s par- ty called Freshman Initiation. In 1955, as Sophomores, we were found carrying on the newly organized tradition of Freshmen welcoming. My, how the gyroscope turned! Convinced that nothing was too good for our class, we delved deeply into selecting class rings. More than one battle was encoun- tered by fellow shipmates. Once friends, our shipmates now made good target sites. Final- ly, orders were placed with Josten, and to our surprise, most everyone became agreeable again. As Juniors we came nearer our goal of leaving the ship with an oversized passport 36 to the future. The Harvest Ball took much hard work, and we realized the task remain- ing before us would be greater. The Junior Prom was to be held aboard ship, May 9, with an Oriental theme. How lucky we were that our shipmates, after much persuasion, decid- ed against a medieval theme. The old ship would probably have sunk itself if they had not. The Prom was a success and the money was stored in the treasure chest for its use m ane dreamiest of all ports, Washington, Brave and bold, with colors true, we re- ported to Mrs. Gavin, the captain of last- year students. All efforts were turned to- wards the production of Best Foot Forward. The dramatic ability was limited, but some- how with Mrs. Ann Kenny at the helm, we managed to laugh at the audience. The audi- ence in turn co-operated and laughed at us. The play was a success. As last year students we elected: Beverly Main as First-mate Arthur DuHamel as Second-mate Carol Meleski as Keeper of the Re- cords Carole Tate as Keeper of the Treas- ure Chest. These officers worked diligently for all ship- mates and their work was appreciated. Christmas cards were slow in selling and we were slower in delivering. Sad to say, we still had some cards left in the hold before our flight steamed off to Washington, April 2Ale We sailors will never forget the four days spent on leave at Washington, D. C., and the day spent in New York. Captain and Mrs. Rivers, who accompanied us, had their difficulties with our crew, but we didn’t mind receiving our orders from them. The last days of the voyage came closer. The twelfth year men who claimed that they had been squelched on deck for the past four years let out their vociferating cries. Under the direction of Bob Fisher, they made a final plea to us WAVES for wisteria-colored caps and gowns at graduation. Although their vote carried, no P. X. seemed to stock wis- teria gowns. Thus, here we are in our maroon and white gowns, today’s student sailors, tomor- row’s officer alumni. The ship will continue without us, but the knowledge it has given us can never be taken away So reads the log of the o, S.S. Millis 1958. Dorothy Sokol ee CLASS We, the Class of 1958, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment. To Mr. Brown we leave our heartfelt thanks for the help and guidance he has given us for the last four years. To Mrs. Gavin we leave next year’s Sen- iors. To Mr. and Mrs. Rivers we leave our deepest appreciation for being chaperones on our class trip. To Mrs. Zalvan we leave our gratitude for her success in collecting the money for our trip. To our parents we leave the memories of the four years their sons and daughters spent here. They were happy years and we are grateful for them. To Mr. Doyle we leave a Paper Mate pen on a gold chain inscribed, “Neither a borrow- er nor a lender be.” To Mrs. Kenny we leave two tickets for that wonderful hit show, Best Foot Forward. Don’t worry, Mrs. Kenny, it’s playing in Eu- rope, too. To Mr. Tim we leave a bundle of unused post cards from Washington, D. C. You can find them in rooms 510-515 of the Carlyle Hotel. To Miss Treadway we leave a piano tuner. To Mr. Palumbo the physics class leaves the memory of their puzzled faces. We know that someday a class will understand. To Mrs. Emerson we leave a better shorthand class. To Miss Neilan we leave twenty exotic recipes to be tried first on the high school students. To Miss Hanoian we leave Arthur Du- Hamel. He has decided to spend another year in her class. To Miss Nolan we leave one jet-propell- ed broomstick for her friend Minerva’s es- capades on Halloween night. To Miss Gabriel we leave the detention hall with best wishes for a busy year. To Mrs. O’Neil we leave nine slightly used gym suits. To Mrs. Barrett we leave a room for her classes other than the type room. To Mrs. Eleanor Kenney we leave five dead animals all ready for dissection. We know the girls will really appreciate this. To Coach Nolan we leave a suit of wa- ter-proof clothing to be used when taking showers during the football season. To Mr. Kinsman we leave high school students who return books on time. Beverly Main leaves to Robert Healy fifty well used notes to enable him to get dis- missed from school. Carcle Tate leaves us for foreign shores, preferably Arabia. David Voye leaves a half-used Toni to David George with a note that reads—‘‘You, too, can attract girls! Have curly hair the easy way.” Carol Meleski leaves her “Zorro” button bey eels Kopeski to be used in Washington only. _ Molly Lydon leaves a recording of her voice in the soprano part of “Salutation” to 37 WILL be used when the Glee Club gets discouraged. Alicia Kinnear leaves her sunglasses to Lois Nirenberg to be worn at all times—A.M. and P.M. Robert Fisher leaves us—still election- eering wisteria caps and gowns. Lois Brodeur leaves her naturally curly hair to Kathy Brodeur. Just think, Kathy, no more nightly pin-up! Donalee Anderson leaves to Pat Godfrey her great admiration for Mrs. Barrett. Robert Barrett leaves his “boots.” Barbara Powell and Frank Newell leave their corner in the hall to Bernie Thatcher and Jean Watson for faithful use. Jackie Gately leaves to Jimmy White his Co nfederate hat inscribed, “Save your Confederate money, the South will rise again!” John Kubacki leaves to John Willinski his ability to disappear during school hours. Barbara Keough leaves her unforget- table laugh. The school wouldn’t be the sama without it! Cindy Zalvan leaves a flashlight to the Juniors visiting the Capitol at night. You see, the lights go out at eleven o’clock there. Lewis Gilpatrick leaves us, still attemp- ting to discover who put the creases in his pants during the Senior Play. Dottie Turner leaves to Allen Horsley a book of train tickets to Connecticut. It’s not really too far away, All en. Nicky Currier and Lee Mandell leave a year’s subscription for ‘“Custom Cars’ to Mike Costello. Dottie Sokol leaves a bottle of nerve pills to the editor of next year’s yearbook. Ellen Fleming leaves Baby Snooks for the Freshmen to enoy. Leo Braun leaves advice to the under- classmen—a prom attended is better than a prom skipped. Jeanette Geyer leaves to Dottie Pettis tips on how to obtain a certain friend’s car. Sandra Carter leaves to Mary Judge a bottle of shrinking pills obtained from Alice in Wonderland. They’re guaranteed to work. Joan Revell leaves her job in Medfield to Lorna Tedesco so that she can be nearer that certain party. Ruth Lydon leaves to Paula Bison one pair of slightly used track shoes to be worn in next year’s field day. Lawrence Novick leaves us to accept the principalship of Dean Academy. He was of- fered this position because of his convincing performance in the Senior Play. Diane Wilson leaves her basketball abili- ty to Leonora Kinnear in the hope that she helps to keep our winning record high. Arthur DuHamel leaves his dancing abi- lity to Carl Olson. Keep swinging, Carl.

Let’s find out how a first-hand authority on world affairs feels about these developments. “Carole Hersey, what is your opinion ?”’ “These uprisings make me very nerv- ous.” “For what reason ?”’ “My husband, Admiral Hersey, is over in Arabia in the middle of the disturbance.” “That is a very good reason for being nervous. Thank you, Mrs. Hersey, and I hope your husband gets home safely.” From all I hear, this year the great em- phasis is on farming in this fair. And I have besides me the two foremost farmers in the country—Bob Barrett and Leo Braun. “Mr. Barrett, what is your chief pro- duct ?” “T raise vegetables to sell in my chain of roadside stands.” “How did you get into this business ?”’ “T began with a small stand, and I decid- ed that it could be very profitable so I start- ed a chain of stands.” “Thank you, Bob. Now, Mr. Braun, what is your particular interest in farming?” “T raise chickens.” “And tell me, have you found the busi- ness profitable?” “Yes, the demand for poultry has in- creased greatly.” “Do you have anything to say about the business ?” “Just one thing, and this I firmly be- lieve, ‘Chickens are the root of world econo- “Thank you, Mr. Chicken — I mean Braun.” 38 SENIOR” CLASS” PROPHEG The town has grown considerably in the last twenty years, and we have with us today aman who has contributed a great deal to its growth—Mr. Lee Mandell. Mr. Mandell is now building a great new skyscraper down- town on the site of what we all remember as the old fire station. “Mr. Mandell, do you feel that this building will create new jobs and opportuni- ties ?” SOYA a2 “Do you think it will attract more busi- ness ?” SVaayo 12? “Do you think the town has reached its capacity of population ?” “Nope!” “Thank you, Mr. Mandell, for your in- teresting contributions.” Now I am going to investigate this large wild crowd on my right. I’m slowly making my way to the front of the crowd. Well, there’s Doctor Barbara Keough treating the poor unfortunates who have been caught in this melee. “Doctor Keough, do you have anything to say ?” (No answer.) This is a milestone in history—never before has Doctor Keough been at a loss for words. I am almost at the front of the crowd now! I can see Chief of Police Lois Brodeur and Sergeant Ruth Lydon trying to hold us back. Now I can see the cause of the commo- tion. Rocking Rocky Dupuis is giving an ex- hibition of rock-’n’-roll. It looks like another triumph for Rocky. This is certainly a beautiful day for a fair. The sun is shining brightly and it is nice and warm. Wait a minute, who is this? “Aren’t you Frank Newell, the famous New York Yankee first baseman ?” “Yes, I am, but please don’t let it get out that I’m here. My wife, Barbara, and I are trying to have a quiet vacation.” “T can’t remember exactly when you were ever quiet in Millis, Frank. What brings you back to your home town?” “IT came to arrange a nationwide tour with Lewis Gilpatrick for Sports Illustrated Magazine.” : “T think I see Lewis and his racing car around the corner, shall we try to see him?” Wait a minute, folks, I think we are g0- ing to have trouble getting through to Lewis —there is quite a commotion here. “Madam, I am NBC’s Roving Reporter. Can you tell me what your name is, and what exactly is happening here ?”’ i “T am Cynthia Zalvan, Principal of Mil- lis High School, and I am trying to get my pupils away from that infernal racing car so they can see the exhibit on Plague Control for Undeveloped Areas!” “Thank you. I wish you luck.” “Well, here we are, although we had a little trouble getting to you, Mr. Gilpatrick. I understand that you and Frank are going on a tour as the top sportsmen of our coun- thy “Yes, we are, but we aren’t the only sportsmen here today. The winning horse in the Kentucky Derby last week was ridden by Millis’ pint-sized terror, Jack Gately.” “T certainly wish I could find him in this crowd to congratulate him. I thank both you and Frank and hope you have success and luck on your tour.” Ah—this looks more in my line. The three famous women physicists, Bev Main, Dorothy Turner, and Dorothy Sokol (Doc- tors Main, Turner, and Sokol, that is), are lecturing on The Uniformity of Matter in Outer Space. Nicholas Currier, the famed rocket scientist, and his chief pilot, Law- rence Novick, who is to take the ship to Mars next week, are listening very intently to the lecture. Joan Revell, Mr. Currier’s private secretary, is busily taking notes. Oh no! There are my rival reporters, Donalee Anderson and Alicia Kinnear. What could society and fashion reporters be doing here? They seem to be heading for the am- phitheater. I don’t know what could be there but I think I’ll follow them. Aha! There’s a poster that might give a clue. It says that Molly Lydon is going to sing several arias from La Boheme and La Traviata. Molly’s voice hasn’t improved much, but her career has taken on new life since her marriage to the manager of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany. By the way, is anybody hungry? If you are, I know just the place to go. It’s a little restaurant on Main Street called “Jeanette and Joe’s Cafe,” run by Jeanette Geyer ASE) Lewis and her husband Joe. The food is (as we used to say in 1958) “out of this world” and the prices are low. Are my eyes deceiving me? Is that a, pink elephant going by? Perhaps I shouldn’t have had that last one but—WOW—what do you know—it IS a pink elephant. And only Fabulous Fisher could be riding him he’s al- ways doing something extraordinary. Right behind the elephant is a character with a drawn sword, a black hat, and a mask. Of course, it’s Carol Meleski, the star of Zor- ro. I had heard that she was somewhat car- ried away with her role, although I didn’t realize it was that serious. Oh—my new suit! Pardon me, ladies and gentlemen, someone just threw a choco- late frappe at me! What a mess! Here comes some help. WELL—of all the nerve—these “wo ladies, Sandra Carter and Ellen Fleming, aave just shown me the sign they are carry- ing. It says, “We clean spots on the spot— DuHamel’s Quick Cleansers!” I knew Arthur was a shrewd business man, but I didn’t think he would go this far. I guess it’s time to go; but before I sign off the air, I want to take you to Wil- son’s Super Service Station where every car is treated like a king’s coach. Let’s ask that sailor walking down the street where the station is. Well, what do you know? It’s Com- modore John Kubacki home on leave. Oh, it’s two blocks down. O.K. I’m sure we can find it.” Well, good night, folks. I’m afraid my time has run out. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the fair. Please join me next week when I will be covering the launching of the first rocket ship to Mars. After this, who knows, I may be on it. DAVID VOYE The Class of 1958 dine lone —avweaired The most exciting days of our lives came to a close as the Class of 1958 marched to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Gradua- tion week began so perfectly with a Bacca- laureate address by the Rev. Dexter B. Rice. Monday brought a day of intense rehears- ing; angelic music was our wish. Tuesday afternoon floral decorations were our main concern; the class wished for celestial blooms. The final hour came. Thirty-one Sen- iors who had enoyed their four years at Mil- lis High School were about to leave.
