The Mohawk Staff Strive Literary Staff: J. Holmes, S. Boston, N. Jerzylo, M. Rhyne, Ass’t. Literary Editor, J. March, Literary Editor, S. Costello. and K. Dwyer. In the fall of our senior year, we, The Mohawk Staff, couldn’t imagine ever having a yearbook completed and ready for the pub- lisher, since just beginning to work on our book brought about a rude awakening as to the time and effort involved in producing one. After chasing fellow classmates for activity sheets, panicking about getting the proper picture for the dedication, and arguing about write-ups at nearly every meeting, the literary staff finally finished its task and the copy staff began another phase of the work. This staff was confronted with a different problem, that of deciphering Mr. Dugas’ code of arrows and lines that were scribbled on edited write-ups. Though necks and backs were Mr. Leo J. Dugas and Mrs. Mary K. Gavin, Advisers, Nancy sore from typing, the members of the copy Batchelder, Editor-in-Chief, and Alfred Vraser, Assistant staff completed their work very efficiently. Editor. 2 Business Staff; J. Mandell, R. Gould, P. Howic, B. Roy, S. MacDougall,D. Archibald, A. Glynn, F. Krohn, D. Breen and D. Freese, Business Manager. Missing, B. Chalas.

Miss Ellen Conway is an outstanding teacher, but more than that, she is an outstanding per- son. Her success as a teacher is a natural conse- quence of the many fine qualities of her per- sonality. As a teacher, she has directed our struggle ‘through trigonometric functions, the point- slope formula, and binomial expansions, and has helped us to understand the importance of mathematics. As our class adviser in both fresh- man and senior years, she not only calmed our ee and settled our childish arguments gratefully and humbly dedicate our yearbook to We Humbly Dedicate Our Yearbook with the “lowly” shasta daisy, but she could be seen spending many hours after school balanc- ing our treasurer’s books and working out the various problems pertaining to our class trip and banquet. By her always pleasant appearance and atti- tude, by her devotion to her students, by the precision and quality of her work, she sets an example for any who would follow the teach- ing profession. Thus, we, the Class of 1968, Miss Conway.

To Change Image Nancy and Al discuss writing and financing with Judy and Dave. Mrs. Gavin, our business adviser, worried constantly about “making ends meet” and had the tedious job of reminding the business staff to get out and sell ads in order to finance the book. This year’s business staff, however, managed to sell more school subscriptions than had been sold any previous year. Perhaps their methods were more “forceful,” especially on the eighth graders. The finished product, The Mohawk, would never have been possible without the coopera- tion of all staff members and of our advisers, Mrs. Gavin and Mr. Dugas, who helped us through many unusual crises and we thank them wholeheartedly.
