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. Doyle, Vice-principal Mrs. Mary M. Barrett, Dean of Girls Mrs. Dorothy Thumith and Mrs. Irene McDonough, Superintendent’s Office Yrganization. . . Understanding Guidance

“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
