Statistically, the small town is declining and may not survive in a future America. You are indeed for- tunate, therefore, to be part cf a small Community.

It reflects the attitudes and ideas of the students and provides an opportunity for self- expression by these students. It also shows teamwork and co-operation between the stu- dents and the faculty. This year Santa delivered the first issue, and the Easter Bunny brought the second. Both were packed full of interesting reading which ran the gamut from wisdom to wit.

THE MOHAWKS This year Millis started off a rebuilding program with three wins, four losses, and one tie. The high spot of the season was a spirited showing against a heavily favored Medway team, tying them 16 to 16. Con- sidering the fact that the team was hit with many injuries during the year, this was a very respectable record for Coach Fusco’s Mohawks.

With the loss of several key players, how- ever, Our squad was too small to compete with stronger teams. The boys gained valuable experi- ence in the game of big ball, but man power makes the difference between a good team and a poor team.

After years of building, Millis should have a champion- ship team soon. Coach Cicoria and Captain Costello. SOFTBALL With the appearance of the first warm days the girls’ softball team started spring training under the manage- ment of our new coach, Miss Mary Sylvia.
