We set our goals, and we can proudly state that we have achieved them, not by our efforts alone, but with the help and encouragement of our parents and faculty. Our final year : has been filled with triumphs and tragedies. In this, our greatest literary venture, we report the events which predominate among our high school memories. Now, we must look toward the wider horizons of the future, and we know each dawn will bring greater challenges and more glorious sunsets. mH 2 4 ) 10: A Microcosm Reflecting UNDERCLASSES SPORTS ACTIVITIES ADS L The Events of State and Nation s, L.

The Class of 1965 Unanimously DEDICATION By a unanimous decision, we, the Class of 1965, humbly and gratefully dedicate our yearbook to Mrs. Mary A. Welch in appreciation for her thoughtfulness, her friendship, and her personal concern for each of us. During the years that we have known her, even during her recent personal tragedy and its subsequent burdens, she has always demonstrated a remarkable degree of fortitude, of dedication, and of loyalty to her students. We extend to her our most profound grati- tude for the educational, social, and spiritual guidance that she has found time to give us. We sincerely hope that the future will shine brightly for her, and that she can look forward to many more happy years as an honored and re- spected teacher and back upon many cherished memories of M. H. S. Mrs. Mary A. Welch Her pride and joy Determines Yearbook Dedication “Welcome! And what’s your name?” June, 1965 To The Class of 1965: Americans have always been a people in motion. From the time of the first landing on this continent to our present Space Age, this country has been known for its role in exciting feats and adventures. Such ventures in science, for example, have pro- vided for improved seaways, highways, and air- ways, and soon even the moon will be within reach. In your own world of adventure, you also will remain restless until you attain your desired physi- cal and social environment. Wherever that may be in this “Great Society”, let your foundation at Millis High School establish the fundamental principles of your stature and security. Sincerely yours, Cithie @ Yallente: WILLIAM A. VELLANTE Principal PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Mr. William A. Vellante Mrs. Jane Rogers and Mrs. Ethel Cartier, Principal’s Office Efficient a ADMINISTRATION Administrators Key to Efficient School System An efficient school system is dependent upon well-trained administrators. We are extremely fortunate in having capable and conscientious ad- ministrators here at Millis. Although engaged in numerous activities, Dr. Roy, Mr. Vellante, Mr. Doyle, and Mrs. Barrett have, nevertheless, re- i mained in close contact with the students, and have worked diligently to see that each one has been provided with an effective and well-rounded education. The members of the Class of 1965 gratefully express sincere appreciation for the untiring efiorts of these administrators towards this goal. Dr. George C. Roy, Superintendent Mr. Henry M.

Dr. Benjamin Willis Conversational English Sey Ce ee ae Te ee NT aes eee ee C-H-E-E-S-E! CONANT REPORT Experimental projects for the controversial teacher training reforms advocated by James B. Conant in The Education of American Teachers will be carried out in seven colleges and universities. These major changes ad- vocated by Conant are: 1. Most of the responsibility for teacher certification will be placed on the institution training them rather than the state. 2. The task of on-the-job teacher training will be shifted to local school districts. 3. Classroom proficiency will be the chief criterion for certification. 4. State education officials will be made chiefly respon- sible for supervision of on-the-job training and prac- tice teaching. For the plan to be successful, Conant says, a vital interest must be developed at the colleges in teacher education. Sasieaii i iit ‘hah Dr. James B. Conant “No, Ricky, you can’t have your squirt gun back!” “Wait, I want to take my glasses...” .. . While Educational Facilities at Milli Title I: To aid local school-district projects which help “educationally de- prived children”’. Title II: To provide monies to buy textbooks, and to expand school li- braries, including the purchase of books, periodicals, phonograph records. Title III: To uplift educational ser- vices to all students in public or pri- vate schools, in any way a local dis- trict sees fit. Title IV: To provide monies for re- search contracts with any “university, college or other appropriate public or non-profit private agency.” Title V: To strengthen state depart- ments of education, especially those that are understaffed, underpaid, and incompetent.

Smash Hit Capacity Crowd .. . Critics Say Great On December 11, 1965, the Senior Class presented the Millis premiére of “Are Teachers Human?”, one of the most enjoyable plays ever viewed here at Millis High School. Under the capable direction of Miss Christine Borgmann, assisted by Student Directors Jane Ford and Valarie Duncan, the cast worked diligently for many weeks to perfect the final presentation which was enthusiastically enjoyed by all.

Deco- rating meetings proved worthwhile as we produced an Arc de Triomphe and a miniature Eiffel Tower. The café awnings and sidewalk tables created the effect of the Champs Elysées. With the help of Mr. Leo Dugas and Mrs. Philip Gavin, our prom, with its intricate grand march, turned out to be an unforgettable, enchanting night for everyone. “Bonsoir, Docteur et Madame” “But, what do you mean switch?” “It must be your perfume!” “Hey, gang, the fun’s down here!” “Boot Camp will never be this much fun!” “Okay, when do we eat??” ...

That Was the Da CLASS TRIP HIGHLIGHTS SENIOR YEAR Following in the footsteps of last year’s seniors, the Class of 1965 spent a wonderful day at Jug End in the Berkshires. There were so many things to do that we all wished we could have stayed longer. It was hard to find enough time for swimming, golf, softball, archery, horseback riding, and finding souvenirs. We can all agree that Mike Teague got the most from the trip. We only hope that next year’s class will be able to follow in our footsteps. Our early arrival Here comes the food!!

CLASS DAY On June 9, 1965, the Senior Class, as such, en- tered the hallways of Millis High for the last time. As we paraded around the school, proudly showing off our caps and gowns, we could not help but feel a touch of sadness at the thoughts of forever leav- ing our childhood memories behind. Watching the underclassmen pass in review, we recalled the many times we had been in their places. We marched onto the stage and looked out at the audience, fully realizing that this was the first and last time we would be honored there before all the familiar faces. President Cartier’s Address of Welcome Class History, Patricia Thorne Class Prophecy, Judith Manning Class Will, Jane Ford As the Saints Go Marching In Precede Graduation CLASS BANQUET On the Tuesday night before Graduation, our Class held one of its last group activities, the Senior Banquet. Held at the Rock Garden in Medway, the banquet, in the form of a dinner dance, proved to be an enjoyable evening for seniors and their dates. The high-point of the affair was the announcement of the dedication of the yearbook to Mrs. Mary A. Welch. Dedication of the Yearbook Banquet Merriment Peggy Johnson Sings To Mrs. Gavin—In appreciation Well, I guess this is it!!! Millis Graduates Larges Large letters across the blackboard an- nounced the Day Of Graduation as it slowly approached. All year we Seniors had waited and then, finally, the night had arrived. Robed in caps and gowns, we marched to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, down the aisles of a familiar auditorium filled with familiar faces of parents, friends, and relatives. Suddenly the years of trial and tribulation seemed worth while.

The Graduating Class of 1965 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The other day I found an old scrapbook from my days in school. I began keeping news articles from my first day at school, beginning in kindergarten. I’ll open the scrap- book and read some of the articles to you; this one is: Kindergarten Class on Rampage The kindergarten class of Millis goes on rampage during the first days of school. Be- sides playing elevator in Mrs. Kingsbury’s closet, the tots stomped around the room, and fought in the sandbox. Next is this article, which reads: Students Cornered in First Grade The first grade class of Millis has trouble keeping out of the corner. It seems they like to talk, so as a result they spend most of their time about face. Here is the next interesting article: Millis Second-Graders Disrupt Class and Teacher Michael Shannon and Linda Kelley pro- ceeded to take out a Chinese checker game the other day at school. When their teacher, Miss Brennan, discovered this, the game was quickly cancelled, and the two spent the rest of the day picking up marbles from the floor. Thinking back, I remember our third year at the Millis Elementary School as more or less unexciting except for the constant daily threat from our teacher, Miss Horan, “I’ll take you over my checkered apron!” I recall well the fourth grade...Let me see, where is that clipping? — Oh, here it is: Fourth Grade Class Debuts The fourth graders of Millis made their theatrical debut. This unusual play turned out to be very ‘‘warming”’, as a curtain caught on fire. Due to the clear thinking of Sandy Cartier, the fire department was notified and the fire engines were there in no time to put out the blaze. Another interesting article printed here is: Fourth Grade J. D.’s Turn Class into Bedlam The fourth grade J. D.’s from Mrs. Beard’s room wreaked havoc with a small-scale sword fight. This resulted in about thirteen of the J. D.’s being sent to the principal’s office. Linda Kelley and Cheryl Bright were left holding the ruler. Here is the article from Grade 5: Millis Fifth Graders Form Gangs The fifth graders of Millis have formed two gangs which might prove harmful to the peace-abiding citizens of the town. The lead- ers of the gangs are Kip Cushman and Ron Mallette. The wars have taken place on Rich- ardson’s Pond, on the school playground, and in the school cafeteria . . . with peas. What are we citizens to do? I can’t find any article about Grade 6, but I remember well the Halloween party at Fred Heustis’ house when Val Duncan washed her hair with apple cider, and Fred took up the art of weightlifting. And Kippy, what were you doing behind the rocks on the softball field? Then there was the day the world was going to end. That day our vivid imaginations nearly brought about a panic. We saw a white ring around the sun, and annihilation was our first thought. Oh, well, we did think the world was going to end. In the seventh grade, our thoughts were directed towards winning the prize for having the most beautifully decorated homeroom at Christmas time. We did win, and all our efforts were not in vain. Here is the article about our eighth grade year: Science Boom at Millis High School The eighth graders of Millis High School develop their knowledge of science by experi- menting with polliwogs. Students tried to see if the polliwogs could live in Lestoil. Polli- wogs can’t. I’m afraid a few eighth-graders will fail science this year. Ninth grade brought our initiation. Michael Cunningham and Barbara Breen proved to be the best little “kids” of the year. During our Price ot SS EES ea ea ‘eee year in high school, we were really beginning to feel like high school students. Here is the Junior Prom article which ap- peared on the society page: Paris Comes to Millis The Junior Class enjoyed the most exciting event of the year . an “Evening in Paris”. Many decorating meetings (or parties) led up to this special night in their lives. Senior Year was the greatest. Our senior boys and girls proved to be the best athletes Millis High School ever produced. A few of the headlines were: Trophy-Winning Grid Team Defeats Arch- Rivals on Thanksgiving Day Best Season for Millis Hoopsters Cheerleaders Win Third Place in Cheering Tournament Then it was time for our senior play, Are TEACHERS Human?. That was what we tried to find out, and aided by the almost pro- fessional acting of Barbara Breen and Ronnie Mallette, we did conclude that teachers are I remember one specific article about our _ yearbook — Oh, here it is: _ The Mohawk Becomes Best Seller 4 The Millis High School Yearbook, The _ Mohawk, co-edited by Leslie Krewson and _ Fred Heustis, is proving to be one of the best _ sellers of the year. The time and effort spent by Pat Thorne, Literary Editor, Ronnie Mal- ) lette, Business Editor, Mike Cunningham, _ Copy Editor, Lynn Merkle, Art Editor, and _ all staff members is paying off. Their book is Oh, what is this? Seniors Hold Car Wash Last Saturday the Seniors of Millis High School held a car wash at the Millis Trans- xtation Company. When it was all over, it was Very apparent that most of the seniors were cleaner than the cars. Right, Michael??? Here’s another article: It’s Prom Time Again The Millis High School Seniors are to be the guests at the M. H. S. Junior Prom. They are to be presented. This year, for the first time, the prom was held outside the school. It took place at The Meadows in Framingham, and the Juniors entitled it “Longer Than Always”. Here is a comical article: Chaos Hits Jug End The Millis High School Seniors went to Jug End in the Berkshires on their class trip. Once off the busses, the sixty students “took off” in all different directions. Some headed for the stables, some the recreation hall, some the tennis courts, others the golf course and the swimming pool. Most everyone went swimming of his own accord, with one or two notable exceptions. . . Right, Mr. Wilson??? Everyone had a wonderful time, and all ar- rived home suffering from sunburn, the com- mon cold, and complete exhaustion. Oh, here is an article concerning an event which I remember well: Rock Garden Hosts Seniors The Rock Garden, last night, hosted the Seniors at their class banquet. The meal was enjoyed by all, as was the dance floor during the latter part of the evening. Everyone was entertained by the singing of Peggy Johnson and later by the singing of the class trio, Judy Manning, Joan Carruth, and Val Duncan. The last article in my scrapbook is: Millis Graduates Largest Class Ever Millis High School graduates the largest class in its history on June 10, 1965. These proud graduates are off to live in the big world and to become the leaders who will cope with the world’s problems. After looking back on the past experiences of the class, I doubt if the world is ready for us; but I think that we’re ready for almost anything! Patricia Thorne SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Most of us have heard of Orwell’s novel, 1984. The other day I went into the time machine and found a newspaper from 1984, and now I want to read some interesting arti- cles from that paper to you. The headlines read: Cunningham Wins Election Michael Cunningham, the Democratic can- didate for president, and his running mate, Terrance O’Quinn, were victorious over Re- publican candidates, Joan Carruth and David Kuendig, by a margin of 146 million popular votes. After a short conference with reporter Leslie Krewson, Cunningham left for a brief vacation. In other national news: America Reaches Moon Sources at Cape Kennedy announced today that a rocket manned by the eminent nuclear physicist, Dr. Richard Booth, has landed on the moon. Astronauts Rodney Forrest and Donald Olson have reported conditions to be rather primitive. Elsewhere in the world: Situation in Latin America Worsens The friction between U. S. citizens and Lat- in Americans has become more pronounced because of a faulty translation of a treaty. The fatal error has been attributed to interp- reter Judith Manning. Despite conciliatory attempts made by our ambassador, Philip Roberts, the situation continues to worsen, and American forces under the command of General Paul Todd have been ordered to evac- uate the area. Now let’s see if there is anything on the war in Southeast Asia... Oh! Here it is: War in Southeast Asia Continues American troops are still battling in South- east Asia. Tactical Commanders Dana Ehr- linger and Michael McGann are slowly gaining ground. Casualties have been heavy, and Army nurses Bonny Barrett, Cheryl Bright, Barbara Breen, and Patricia Thorne have been decorated for service while under fire. While I was looking for the article on Southeast Asia, I happened to glance at an- other interesting article, which said: Elwinger Sets Record Shorthand Speed During a recent examination for stenogra- phers, Elaine Elwinger demonstrated her amazing ability to take shorthand at a rate of three hundred words a minute. Miss EI- winger said that she had been using a new system invented by Christine Hurley, who intends to write a book about her technique in the near future. The book will be published by Norman Bartony. The latest news on the Civil Rights battle reads: Civil Rights Demonstration Turns To Riot A peaceful Civil Rights demonstration turn- ed into a riot yesterday after the crowd was fomented by speeches by Civil Rights leaders Ronald Mallette and James Casey. The situa- tion was so far out of hand that State troop- ers Wayne Carlson, Robert Roy, and Ronald Peiler were called to restore order. On the financial page I see that: Fink Buys Out Ford Motor Company Clifford Jestings, vice-president of the Jet Rocket Company, told reporters today that an agreement between Robert Fink, president of the rocket company, and Kenneth Cushman, manager of the Ford Motor Company, result- ed in a takeover of the Ford Motor Company by the Jet Rocket Company. According to the movie page there aren’t any good movies playing next week, but the newest, zaniest, and most talked about “beat” group of the year — Stephen Payson, Patricia McLaughlin, and Francis Spinoza — will ap- pear at the local theater next week. If you are interested in seeing this new group, buy your tickets now. at the society page, I see that here are going to be many fund-raising events to help provide money to do research about the moon. Here is an excerpt from that The recent landing on the moon has caused much concern as to how people are to live there. An organization under the direction of Donald Coldwell has been formed to do re- search on this project. Linda Lee is designing houses which will endure the weather changes on the moon. Linda Levine is designing clothes to help people adjust to these changes. Nutritionist Donna Sette is searching for new Ways to prepare green cheese, and Carolyn Wakefield and Paula Glynn are undertaking a study of moon medicine. All of these projects require a good deal of _ Money, and this week there will be three out- ____ standing events to finance them. oe The first event will be the appearance of comedienne Linda Kelley, along with famous opera singer Peggy Johnson. The following evening Sandra Cartier and Mike Teague will appear. ‘Super-salesman _ Michael Teague will try to promote the sale _ of a new drug which Miss Cartier has in- ' vented. The biography of the famous biolo- gist Miss Cartier will be written by author The third and most eagerly awaited event will be the appearance of June Ingraham, the famous playwright, who will present her newest work. The setting and the costumes will be designed by artist Valarie Duncan. A er will be served before the play by Eliza- thews and Virginia Lee. h! Here is another interesting article: to Lecture x Michael Shannon will lecture this on the results of a series of experi- dealing with the effects of vas on cer- s of fish. Here are several advertisements which I want to read to you: If you would like to make a dress or have one made for you, see Karen Anderson at Karen’s Dress Shop. A fashion show is being planned in which Karen will feature som e of her “ultra” designs. These gowns will be modeled by Lynn Merkle and Jane Ford. Dixie Mosher and Marie Pelletier announce the grand opening of their beauty salon. Come on in and get your new “space style” hairdo! Give your cocker spaniel the best of care while you are away! Board him at Marie Moran’s Kennels! The students of Sandra McFetridge’s Dance Studio will hold their first annual recital to- morrow. Patricia Warren’s piano students will provide music for the affair. If you have trouble with your car, take it to Victor Leontie’s Service Station where Vic and his mechanics, Richard Jones and Frank La Croix, will make it run like new. Finally, for all sports fans, here is the sports news: At the Winter Olympics of 1984, the skiing championship was won by David Hinchliffe and Daniel Senatro, with Fred Heustis taking first place in the bobsled race. The women also made a good showing, with Jean Parks as champion figure skater. At home, the annual Patriot’s Day Mara- thon was won by Paul Mosher and William Toffling. Gary Stockbridge won the game for the Red Sox by breaking the tie in the twelfth inning. Well, according to this paper taken from the time machine, the Millis High School Class of 1965 will go on to become even more illustrious than it is at present.

Dugas Adviser A Great Class—Juniors Our class could be summed up in one word— GREAT—but that would not suit the purpose of this write-up and would not fill in enough space, so I shall have to expand on this adjec- tive. Just look at our officers — Bonnie, Joel, Nancy, and Rachel. Now you know where all the “brilliant” leadership in our class comes from! Dave Thorne and Peter MacFarland are always advocating buying hotdogs and book- covers; therefore, they’re on the Student Coun- cil.

We’re proud, too, that Rusty Cushman and Suzanne Beaudet were recognized as pro- visional members of the National Honor So- ciety. This proves, to us at least, that our class has brains as well as beauty. We have brawn, too. Sophomores led our football team to glory.

Kuendig os Millis Has Best Season Ever “The camera doesn’t bite, fellas.” nt 1964 was the most successful year in the history of foot- ball at Millis High School. With an excellent 8-1 record, the Millis Team became a formidable adversary to all league opponents, even defeating their formerly unbeatable rival, Medway, by a close two points. Many school records were toppled, and the high-scoring Bill Toffling missed the school- scoring record by a scant few points. The team’s success can- not be credited to the players’ magnitudinous physiques, but rather to the great team spirit and will-to-win instilled in them by Coaches Nelson, Wilson, and Davis. Although Millis is losing seven of its eleven offensive starters, there remain great expectations for as successful a season for the 1965 squad. Co-eaptain Bill Toffling On Friday evening, October 11, the Millis High School football field was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Frederick J. Welch, whose contributions to the Town of Millis and especially to its youth, can never be forgotten. Billy, Mrs. Welch, and John Dr. George C.

His track team finished the regular league season with four wins and three losses, while they placed second in a five-team regional meet. Almost every school record was broken several times over during this year’s successful session. Although losing three valuable seniors, another successful year would seem inevitable. “We'll do it today, fellas!” “Seventy-two feet, no trouble!” “T think I can—I think I can!” “Mammie!” “Fourteenth time!

These victories cannot be credited to any one player because the boys functioned as a unit, displaying extraordinary teamwork. Although the four seniors were substantially responsible for the excellent record, next year there will be as many and more who will bring home numerous victories. “Come back here!” “The alleys are up the street!” Captain Heustis and Coach Tewey The thinking men masse ps ; — y Pf ‘Ae Kip Cushman Dave Kuendig Front: R.

Braun BASEBALL BASEBALL TEAM IMPROVES This year Millis had a little trouble getting their good hitting days to coincide with their good pitching days. As a result, the season was not entirely successful, although much experience was gained by the underclassmen. With the initiation of a JV team more freshmen and sophomores had a chance to play. This promoted more interest in the game, and our varsity squad should improve as these rookies move up. ’ Tough Seniors 90 feet from victory. “Slug it, David!!” It’s going to be close!

Millis Cheerleaders Rank The ten little Indians of the Mohawk Cheering Squad shouted and stomped like warriors through- out the football and basketball seasons. Pat Mc- Laughlin and Sandy Cartier led the enthusiastic group through a victory-laden year that players and students will long remember.: An exceptional football season of eight wins made the devoted cheerleaders elated that they were on the side lines rooting for their victorious team. “All together 1-2-3!” The basketball season added more joy to their happiness as the team established the best record ever at Millis. Not to be outdone by the boys, the girls proved their own excellence by capturing third- place honors in the Tri-County Cheerleading Tourna- ment, a first for Millis. ‘“‘Let’s give a rousing cheer for Millis...” ‘Seniors: J.

Coach Riou and Elwinger Captain GIRLS’ BASKETBALL GIRLS’ BASKETBALL POPULAR SPORT The girls on the basketball team have been a credit to our school this year. Although the victories were not as numerous as anticipated, the girls displayed the desire to win and that kind of sportsmanship which brings pride to a school. Under the supervision of their coach, Miss Riou, the team showed great improvement over previous seasons, and many valuable experiences were gained for future years. Stretch!!! The wonder ball goes round and round. Our Three Stooges “A party at my house if we win.” “Throw it to me, Sharon!” FIELD HOCKEY ROOKIES STRENGTHEN FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Although Miss Riou’s field hockey team had a losing season— two wins and four losses—the girls were successful in achieving cooperation, sportsmanship, and good spirit, necessary elements for a well-played game. Hard work and rigid practice sessions resulted in a well-trained, disciplined team. Future hopes are based on the eighth-and ninth-graders, who turned out in good numbers this year. With further work and development next year promises to be a success in every way. Coach Riou and Captain Bonny Barrett “Ready? Let’s go!” fee a JUNIOR VARSITY P. Lenz, A. Larter, P.

SOFTBALL GIRLS WIN MORE GAMES Although not compiling a very impressive record, the girls on the softball team did improve their standing over previous squads. Under Miss Riou, their coach, the team won three of their seven games. Unfortunately, the big game with arch- rival Medway was not one of the victories. As one reviews past records, it can be seen that there has been a continued im- provement in the win column. One can only hope that this will continue and that next year’s team can finish the season with a .500 or better average. Good luck, girls! “Forget it!

THE MOHAWK STAFF This year, we, the Mohawk Staff, vowed that our book would be the best ever. We refused the advice of previous staffs; we had to learn for ourselves the work entailed in publishing a yearbook. We soon ex- perienced the problems of meeting deadlines for our write-ups and ads, the insignificant quarrels concerning such trivialities as the number of senior pictures to be apportioned to each page, the frustration of not having a snow storm arrive on a school day so that it could be used for our colored end-sheets, and the impossibility of finding enough time for meetings. In spite of these obstacles we have enjoyed every moment spent in the production of this book. Without the help of our advisers, Mrs. Gavin and Mr. Dugas, The Mohawk would never have reached publication; we eeene to them our sincerest and most appreciative thanks.

Membership Reaches All-Time High Although this year’s National Honor Society was limited to three members, they displayed in their activi- ties the required qualities of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Again this year the Society will donate the proceeds from the Girls’ vs. Boys’ Basket- ball Game to the Citizens’ Scholarship Fund. The 1965 induction ceremonies welcomed sixteen new members; these included two sophomores under the National Pro- visional Member Program. With the help of Mrs. Welch, their adviser, the members will go forth tomorrow as leaders along the pathway to peace, striving to uphold the ideals they represent.

STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL SPONSORS SCHOLARSHIP During this school year the Student Coun- cil has been active in implementing its new Constitution and the members have worked hard to achieve some of the goals this docu- ment seeks to accomplish. Efforts were made to begin such programs as the school activ- ity calendar, which will help to coordinate school activities, and to exercise quality leadership for the Student Body. The mem- bers worked hard to raise the necessary funds for the scholarship program they sponsor annually. The Student Council has made a sincere attempt to begin the impor- tant task of building a Council in which both students and faculty can have confidence and for which they can have respect.

MOHAWK MESSENGER LIVE WIRE UNDERGOES CHANGE This year our school publication, the Live Wire, became known as the Mohawk Messenger. But, more importantly, the entire format of the magazine was changed, making it a literary work of art. Few issues were printed, but those which were contained editorials, interviews, student news, fads and fashions, and sports features, interspersed with bits of good humor and delightful illustrations. The staff, concerned with quality rather than quantity, enjoyed the experience of working together, and look forward in coming years to perfecting future issues of the publication.

Couples danced to heavenly music while silver snowflakes dazzled from above. The Kings and Queens from the preceeding balls led the Coronation Procession—a first this year. Then the climax of the evening came when last year’s King, Robert McDonough, placed the crown on Frederick Heustis’ head, and last year’s Queen, Susan MacFarland, crowned Patricia McLaughlin. Dr. Roy presented the Royal Couple with gifts, after which they ascended their throne, a “real’’ horse-drawn sleigh, which was set in a picturesque winter scene. This ball was one of the most delightful in many a year. Senior Royalty Past Kings and Queens Sandra Cartier, Second Prize, Physics Richard Booth, Physics Third Prize, Vincent Toffling, Grand Prize Winner Donald Olson, First Prize, Chemistry SOPHOMORE WINS AT SCIENCE FAIR Once again a sophomore, Vincent Toffling, was awarded the Grand Prize at the Science Fair. Sandra Cartier, President of the Senior Class, did the same thing two years ago, during her sophomore year. This, by no means, indicates that the seniors did not share in the spotlight. On the contrary, several seniors won awards. Each class contributed projects which repre- sented many hours of effort and libraries of knowledge. In fact, the quality of the projects was so good this year, that the judges must have had a difficult time choosing the winners. Throngs at Science Fair Band Membership on the Rise M.H.S. BAND BAND - ORCHESTRA - CHORUS Membership in the Band, Chorus, and Orchestra has increased during the last few years and these activi- ties have played a prominent role in schoo] life. The Band, under the directio n of Mr. Frank Gubala, has performed at football games, assem- blies, and several concerts. The Chorus and Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Catharine Culver, have brought more recognition to Millis, since many members were selected for the all-state and district concerts.
