As freshmen, our intellects were lying dormant, like the fields which lie fallow in winter. In the spring, our sophomore year, we began to awake to the vast possibilities which were in store for us, just as the plants and animals show the first signs of life after a long, barren winter. We came into full bloom as juniors, in the summer of careers, and we seem to have reached fulfillment in this, our senior year. But as we are graduated from high school and venture out into the world of college, commerce, and professions, we will again experience the passage of the seasons with each new encounter. Our minds will lay fallow to new knowledge, we will awake to new endeavors, we will mature in our understandings, and, in satisfaction, we will reap our harvests. And A Time To Every Purpose. .. The class of 1966 proudly dedicates the MOHAWK to Mr. David A. Wilson: a devoted teacher, an enthusiastic coach, and a faithful friend. Since his arrival at Millis High School Mr. Wilson, as a teacher, has inspired us to strive for success and has encouraged us to employ our minds to their fullest capacities; as a coach he has exemplified strong character and sportsmanship; and as a friend, he has instilled in us the ideals of patience and honesty and has enthusiastically supported our endeavors. It is with deep respect and sincere appreciation that we, the Class of 1966, extending to him our best wishes for future years, dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Wilson: teacher, coach and friend.

Gavin, Mrs. Jane Robison meaningful to all the members of the class. Realizing what a momentous task this is, the Mohawk Staff, at first, was over- whelmed, for the Class of 1966 is one of many and varied person- alities. A second challenge was the selection of only the best ma- terial from a vast supply. Knowing that a yearbook cannot be created by one person, the four staffs and two editors, with the invaluable guidance of ad- visers Mrs. Gavin, Mrs. Robison, and Mr. Dugas, have worked in cooperation with one another, as well as independently. The Mohawk Staff has endeavored to carry the theme through- out while creating a book of significant and poignant memories; the members of the Class of 1966 will carry these with them as : The responsibility of every yearbook staff is to produce a book they venture forth into a new Changing Season. se BAR) Uae) TR oe PRO TP OW ce V6 ee | LITERARY STAFF Si tting: Assistant Literary Editor J.

After beating the formidable Medfield team at the only night game of the season, our boys went on to give arch- rival Medway a crushing defeat for the second successive year at the Thanks- giving Day game. “Come on down!” Bale MOHAWKS Coaches Lombardi, Nelson and Wilson with Co-captains Howie and Monaghan First Row: Coach Wilson, A.

Under the leadership of two great co-cap- tains, Pam Bartlett and Frannie Powell, the girls performed with much exuberance and vigor. Though sometimes muscles were pulled and ankles were sprained, the ten little Indians were at every game, enthusiastically rooting for the best team. Co-captains P. Bartlett and F. Powell A PYRAMID in Millis??? Hard Work, Cok Under the guidance of Miss Peterson the girls’ field hockey team battled beneath cold autumnal skies. This sport, in its third year at Millis High found its support mainly among the seniors, led by Captain Pelletier. Learning the fundamental skills of the game was finally achieved after many long and gruel- ing practices. However, the team did not bring home many triumphal banners, although the margins of defeat were narrow. During these hotly-contested battles the girls were always high-spirited, vigorous competitors and good sports. Captain Pelletier and Coach Peterson Senior Stars B. Proe, L. Saunders, C. Anderson, B.

Chorus Chorus and Orchestra Each year membership in the Millis High School Chorus and Millis High School Orches- tra grows. But of more importance, the qual- ity of the music they perform grows too. This year the Chorus is built around and aug- mented by outstanding voices from the school Madrigal Society, a small group that performs more challenging numbers. The choral and orchestral organizations, under the direction of Mr. Thurlow, participate in various school functions throughout the year as well as in the annual Spring Concert. Since several mu- sicians from our chorus and orchestra have also performed in the Central District, All- State, and All-Eastern Concerts, it is evident that participation in high school groups offers many advantages for those who have musical talent. M.H.S. Orchestra M. H. S. Twirlers Band and Twirlers Again, the Millis High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Frank Gubala, was a tremendous asset to our school. In the fall it enlivened half-time at our football games, demonstrating the fruitful results of long, grueling hours of practice. An innovation this year was a twirling group, which made its debut at the Thanks- giving Day game. Sue Senatro and Debby Correa deserve much credit for giving direc- as - 22 ah fF tion and encouragement to this junior-high group. The band participated in various as- semblies during the school year, but it reach- ed its peak in the marvelous performance it gave at the Spring Concert. No evening at “Pops” ever afforded its patrons more plea- sure than was provided by our Millis musi- cians in their stimulating rendition of Leroy Anderson’s Typewriter and the Highlights from My Fair Lady. Council Seeks Student- Faculty Confidenc e STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council represents an attempt on the part of the students to take an active interest in the functioning of the school, and to play an important role in its government. This year’s council was successful, among other things, in having an amendment passed which provides for the election of three representatives per class. By selling M.H.S. bookcovers and by supplying avid football fans with steaming coffee and dough- nuts, sufficient funds were raised to continue the Student Council Scholarship, which has been awarded annually at graduation since 1960.

Under the direction of Mr. Dowd, time-consuming preparations were completed and an enthusiastic crowd of towns- people viewed the projects created by the junior and senior high school students. Those judged the best were exhibited at the regional fair at Brandeis Uni- versity and went on to represent Millis at the state fair at M. I. T. Our science-minded students gain valuable knowl- edge and experience from their participation in science fairs, since it gives them an opportunity to engage in individual research.

On December 11, in the auditorium of the Millis High School, the curtain parted to reveal The Man Who Came To Dinner. This light comedy, under the capable direction of Miss Barbara Bannon, sparked laughter and applause from an enthusiastic audi- s ence. The members of the cast and the various stage crews derived great satisfaction from the knowledge that their zealous efforts, attention to detail, and diligence at rehearsals contributed to a most successful function. “That’s what I call P-R-E-S-E-R-V-E-D!!” “Merry Christmas, Mr. Whiteside!” “One false move and I’ll shoot.” “Was this in the script?” The Cast and its Director Front: G.

The eleventh inductee, Sophomore Nancy Batchelder, received this honor under the National Provisional Membership Program. On this memorable occasion the Honorable John Quinlan, State Senator from our district, spoke on the strength, continuity, and morality of nations, and pointed out that the quali- ties for which these students were chosen — Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service — are the founda- tions of our society.

Devinn, “Longer Than Always” JUNIOR PROM The class of 1966 is not only talented, hand- some, athletic and witty, as shown throughout the other pages of this yearbook, but also ad- venturous and courageous enough to try some- thing new. On May 21, 1965, the class asserted its originality by holding its Junior Prom at The Meadows in Framingham. The event was most successful from the first strains of Nat Walsh’s heavenly music to the last delicious morsel of beef. The theme was most appropriate; those who attended will remember that night “Longer than Always.” The Long White Line A Memorable Evening “This is the line-up; now who did it?” “You mean you don’t know how to do this either!” a7) JV Team Brings Increased Interest In the spring a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of baseball. So it was at Millis High School this year. Even though the record was not outstand- ing, our boys were imbued with team spirit, good sportsmanship, strong motivation and unending endurance. Under the capable direction of Coach Wilson, the boys squeezed four victories out of their fourteen games. Thanks to Mr. Flanagan, the junior varsity team came up with quite an impressive record, including a victory over the girls’ softball team. Senior Stars: B. Fitzgibbons, M. Nix, R. Smith, A.

SOFTBALL Every year the softball field abounds with girls, practicing hard, striving to earn a position on the team, and the task of choosing the best players is indeed difficult. Certainly this year has been no exception, for there was both quality and quantity. Under the leadership of its able cap- tain, Karen Pelletier, and the untiring efforts of Coach Peterson, the squad worked diligently throughout the season and chalked up an impressive record of five victories in seven contests.

CARILILN | ae The History of the Class of 1966 The history of the Class of 1966 began thirteen years ago when we, who are now alumni of Millis High School, entered kinder- garten as reluctant martyrs about to be thrown into the lions’ den of schooling. The year began with one teacher and amazingly finished with the same one. Although kin- dergarten was only a half-day affair, it was a new and perhaps exhausting experience for a group of children whose customary occupa- tion was chasing ice cream trucks around the block. First grade, of course, was the next step in our school career. To honor this milestone, so we thought, we were moved into the newly built Clyde F. Brown School. When we reached second grade, we conquered it with the same zea] and confidence as in grade one, only this time our overseers rewarded our perseverance with an outing. As with all ele- mentary school field trips, we toured the nearest Zoo. After having questionably mastered long division in the third grade, we entered fourth grade, finding ourselves the oldest students in the building. We thus became the king-pins of the cafeteria milk and ice cream conces- sions. Lunch that year was really very dif- ferent. We ate our government surplus hot- dogs in a unique nightclub setting. As we relished each tasty morsel, a talented new star from the third grade “sang’’, “Where can my little dog be.” Perhaps some of us were disappointed by the Christmas program that year, but most of us enjoyed watching “The Littlest Angel” three times backwards, with no sound. Moving ahead another year, our class met with disaster. Recess and gym were abolished, and in their place we had a homeroom period in which class officers were elected. Although the system was supposed to be democratic, Roger Smith somehow managed to get him- self elected president almost forty weeks in a row. Sixth grade was a milestone for organized labor. The local union in Mrs. Blom’s room, led by the piano-top orations of Greg Terrio, went on strike. The spectacle was matched only when Tom White crawled out of a sec- ond-story window. The popular weapon of the local guerillas was a rubber band and a box of paper clips. A lot of sunlight leaked through the shades and Terry Lyons learned that a paper clip in the eye hurts. Near the end of the year we learned that the roller coaster ride at The Cinerama scared more than the Brownie troop that sat behind us. The Class of 1966 entered seventh grade in a school nearly fifty years old and finished the year in a brand new building. The new school offered many mysteries to be explored, and Tucky Bates, to his sorrow, discovered that dragging his shoe heel would leave black rubber marks on the floors. The music teach- er found seven toads in his class, thanks to Bob Rogers; and the girls were amazed to learn that they now had to cook on real stoves. The next year continued in the same man- ner. Some of Mr. Gilfoy’s art students began throwing dried beans instead of making col- lages. Eighth grade was highlighted by the Junior High School Field Day. Charley Kir- melewicz lost the day for 8-C when he cheat- ed, using his thumb to keep a potato on a spoon. 8-A went on to win, but the victory was somewhat tarnished by the claims of 8-C that the 8-A girls were responsible for the victory. Then, in September of 1961, our class be- gan a four-year career of fun and games, commonly known as high school. Although as freshmen we were reduced to such indigni- ties as the poorest seats in the auditorium and being the last to leave for lunch, we held our own. Freshman initiation was taken all in stride and many sophomores became quite upset when we wouldn’t carry their books. Our ability for organizing and running dances was questioned after our Sadie Hawkins Dance. It seems some of the females thought i HISTORY a penny an inch was. too much. Before the year was over, we also found out that Mr. Damon would prefer that we knew the Pledge of Allegiance rather than fake it. Tenth grade came and it was our turn to initiate. True to course, the dance which fol- lowed was a failure. Judging from the num- ber of dropouts from Latin I, the language must be really dead. The boys’ j.v. basketball team went down almost undefeated. Records on the girls’ team can’t be found. At the end of the year, high school was half over, the point of no return, and a couple took these words literally. In 1964 the Beatles made millions with their hair, and the juniors were in trouble for theirs. Tucky Bates and Bob Rogers solved the problem in a most unconventional way; they cut off all of theirs. The prom was at The Meadows and all went well until our theme sign fell down. The electronics class couldn’t decide whether or not a Ford could beat a Chevy until an English teacher with a beat-up Porsche solved it all. In the end top honors went to Cliff Burnett’s dump truck. The year ended nicely when some thoughtful person painted in a crosswalk for people en- tering school by way of the bandstand. Our last and biggest year finally came. The season started out well when the football team won the league championship. The feat included the downfall of our friendly neigh- bor to the east, Medfield. Being champions didn’t go to our heads, but went to the floor at Kuendig’s victory party. Some of us saw fit to attend the Junior Prom at Glen Ellen. The next day at Horseneck Beach, fun was had by one and all. Our last year has been very profitable, marred only by the police speed trap on Spring Street. Except for this, our last year and the twelve before it have held many experiences and exciting incidents which have made our thirteen years extreme- ly interesting. High school is now over and our next target is the world. Herbert Lannon “To you, in gratitude...” “BLUE HAWAII” The strains of “Blue Hawaii’ welcomed all those who attended the Millis Junior Prom and Senior Reception held at Glen Ellen Country Club on May 20. Happy couples waltzed be- neath the wavering palm trees to the melodious tunes of George Graham and his Orchestra. Memories of this evening will certainly linger in years to come.

The main attractions were the swimming pool, riding stables, golf course, and above all, the sauna bath. Rain in the afternoon failed to dampen our spirits, and we assembled at the Rec.

In testimony whereof, given under this, our hand and seal, on the eighth day of June in the year of our Lord, One thousand, nine-hundred and sixty-six, we, the Class of 1966, declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Signed: The Class of 1966 Witnessed: Nancy Webber The Prophecy of the Clas It was the year 1986, in the height of the space race, when the Class of 1966 had its twentieth reunion. The Millis High reunion was not an ordinary one. Because of the high attainments of the Millis graduates, the members of the Class of 1966 were chosen to be the first co lonists on Planet-X. The pilot of the plane, Wrong-Way Weatherhead, was ably assisted by Danny McLean, Mike Healy, and Cliff Burnett of the dump truck brigade. These four men flew the first trip to the moon and crash- landed on Venus while all four were watching the Miss U.S.A. Contest, which was won by Regina Walker whose impersonation of Peter Pan baf- fled judges and playboys Ronny Morgan, Joe Howie, and Mike Kirby. Pro-football players Jay Monaghan, Kevin Cushman, and Gene Correa were chosen as colonists because of their outstanding feat of making four touchdowns for the other team and thereby winning the Nobel Peace Prize. During the football game, cheerleaders Pam Bartlett, Margo Kelley, and Franny Powell received a standing ovation for their splendid somer- saults and splits. In baseball, ace hurlers Brian Fitzgibbons and Mike Nix have done a tremendous job for the Red Sox who have succeeded in capturing the pennant. In basketball, there is Tucky Bates, Millis’ answer to Bill Russell, and in track, there is Charles Kirmelewicz, Millis dasher who is anxious to try his running on Planet-X. In girls’ sports, Karen Pelletier, Jan Carter, and Nancy Webber, American delegates to the Olym- pics, electrified the world by blowing out the Olympic torch. In business, also, Millis graduates have made their mark. A year ago, the business tycoons of the world met at the home of Peter MacFarland, the genius behind the Herman Shoe. During the entire meeting, repre- sentative of the gravel industry, Sandman Jimmy McDonough, and repre- sentative of the swingers’ clubs, Bob Rogers, sat munching candy bars. Stylists Mary Champagne and Pat Rhyne showed their design for a standardized uniform for lady teachers consisting of a halter top and a pair of leopard-skin, bell-bottomed trousers modeled by teachers Mary Ellen Gately, Meredyth March, and Rachel Smith. Meanwhile, dressmakers Helen Dmytryck and Mary Palashewski gasped in horror, and Billy Mercer, famous manufacturer of Levi pants, fainted on the floor. In the fields of music and acting, Millis alumni have made exceptional contributions. Ruth Harcovitz, famous opera singer, has sung at carnivals throughout the country accompanied by Marcia Bucchianeri, the Millis Jack Benny of the violin. Judy Riordan also toured the country, mystifying the crowds with her brilliant portrayal of “Harriet Stanley.” Our country is also in good shape, diplomatically, due to Millis gradu- ates. Hair stylists Kathy Breen and Esty Nirenberg conscientiously curled the hair of Sheik Dickie Elwinger. Cheryl Anderson and Tom White, famous chefs to Queen of England Betsy Lee, got carried away with their work, ate all their creations, and served the Royal Family T.V. dinners. David Thorne and Paul Starkis, our delegates to the United Nations, so spellbound the assembly with their oratory that we were asked to with- draw from the U.N. Speaking of orators, we are reminded of the breath- taking orators, school committeewomen Marilyn Cope and “Louise Day” Saunders. International social workers Carol Broussard and Bonnie Proe were sentenced to prison at Sing Sing after advising that the peace of the world could be saved by turning the world over to the teenagers. Warden Dave Thibault is hopeful that they can be rehabilitated. Our am- bassador to Viet Nam, Bob Dmytryck, tried to plot a revolution to take over China and make Eddie Lewandowski the new president. Needless to say, the plot failed miserably when Norman Pembroke and Billy O’Don- nell, radio operators, forgot to transmit the order to attack. The next profession to consider is teaching, in which Millis graduates naturally excelled. At Millis High School alone there are now three French professors, the three Lindas, Pratt, Levy and Bigelow. Across the hall are Roger Smith and Don Dulevskis, brilliant mathematicians. In the teachers’ room are Richard Braun, English teacher, and Terry Lyons and Mary Duhamel, history whizzes, who are trying to recover from an early morning study hall and are discussing Taffy Rothwell, famous Tuesday School teacher. Now we turn to the military where Larry McCarter, Millis grad, made good as U.S. Navy Chief of Staff. He and Privates Bruce Joyce and Johnny Kaminski were caught in the biggest scandal in Navy history when they lost or misplaced the Sea View, the Navy’s famous submarine. In trying to recover the submarine, super-secretaries Shirley Green, Judy Kuhlman, and Patti McGann sent letters all over the world. Meanwhile, ace psychiatrist Mady Weinstein and trapper Al Wilson were trying to communicate with dolphins, hoping that Flipper had seen the submarine. During the past twenty years Millis alumni have excelled in many other professions. Foresters Greg Terrio and Teddy Taraski, given an assign- ment, took a wrong turn and cut down Sequoia National Park resulting in injuries to 150 persons. Nurses Margaret Clancy, Betty Foley, Judy Noyes, and Sue Desilets tried to aid the patients. Billy Pearson helped evacuate the injured on his motor scooter, and Valli Spafford rode her Shetland pony to the nearest police station for help. She landed, instead, at Diana Thorne’s Granny Dress Shop. While there she witnessed a gor- geous new limousine, driven by Chauffeur Penny Preston, barely miss Jill Wildman who had tripped over an oil can in the middle of the street. The oil can flipped up and hit Alan Symans, gas station attendant, who was leaning over fixing a car. Lastly we look at the field of science where physicists Alan, Carruth and Joe Hersey had devised a harmless mushroom cloud which they re- leased over Boston. This caused the people to go mad and bewildered the president into asking for a declaration of war. Bert Lannon, Secretary of War, locked himself in a refrigerator to escape the blast, and Billy Merrill and Herbie Godfrey, elevator operators, jumped from the elevator between floors. The only people not affected were eminent businessmen, Robby Lemieux and Joe Warsof, who were feeding the pigeons in Boston Com- mon. As one can readily see, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and sixty-six have been guiding factors in the history of our nation and the world. Now as they leave for Planet-X, we wish them a fond fare- well, and while we are reluctant to see them go, we know that Planet-X will reap the benefits of their outstanding genius.

Reputation for square dealing with employees? Pleasant surroundings? Will I be working with others my own age? Are they friendly? Do they socialize after hours? Will the boss be reasonable? Appreciate good, hard work, but won’t explode if I make a mistake? Will I make a decent week’s pay? Have a chance for raises, advancement, more responsibility? How about fringe benefits? Is the work challenging? I had what it takes to get through high school. Will they give me a chance to use my brains? Note: Many young men and women in this area can answer “‘Yes” to these questions.

Suddenly, these dark walls are not the same to me; Millis High is just a name to me; It’s been twelve years since Yesterday. Once we were so young, and we clung to hopes and dreams; Now we must decide, can’t confide in Yesterday. Here we stand, ready to accept what life demands. Now we have to make our own commands. We've been prepared since Yesterday. David Thorne and Peter MacFarland Photography By Purdy Boston, Mass.
