Alice Carmela and Beth Dedication Appreciation fall Winter Spring Seniors 6 6 4 92 To Miss Germano At the beginning of our Junior year, Miss Beverly Germano took on the task of being our class advisor. Since then she has given a lot of her time to help the class get out of a financial rut. She was always there to help out at a class function and probably worried more than everyone in the class put together. We can’t thank her enough for all the help and effort she put into our Dime-A-Dip-Dinners, Christmas bazaars, a fantastic talent show, our prom, our senior banquet, our class trip and the many other activities we held during our last two years. We are very grateful to have been blessed with such a person as Miss Germano. She is not only a good teacher and a great advisor — she is a great person. To Miss Germano, we, the Class of 1976, gratefully dedicate our yearbook. In Appreciation If not for Miss Patricia Barry and Mr. Brian Tuohey, the whole yearbook would never have gotten off the ground. Mr. Tuohey was really great at bringing in the money to produce the yearbook, and Miss Barry was always around to offer her help and enthusiasm. We hope that through this dedication they will understand how grateful we are to have had them as our yearbook advisors. Many thanks to you both. SUPERINTENDENT To the members of the Class of 1976: For the past two years, there have been numerous reports about the Bicentennial Year, 1976, and, undoubtedly, you have looked forward to the activities that are being planned in our community. Reflect for a moment, however, On your role in this Bicentennial Year. You are the product of 200 years of planning, developing, growing, expanding and resolving. You have been left with problems of environment, government, politics, and population. How many among you will emerge as leaders in resolving these problems in order to provide a better life for your children’s children? Many of you will be followers; some of you, managers. Leadership is developed from a desire to improve, change and govern. You have been prepared for your role in society, and | firmly believe you will succeed in making this a better country in which to live. Good luck to each and every one of you. Sincerely yours, William A. Vellante Superintendent of Schools ADMINISTRATION The Class of 76: You, the class of ‘’76’, hold a unique place in our school’s history. You have dis- played a ‘‘spirit’” of cooperation and dedica- tion of purpose. You have shown a warmth and friendliness that is a trademark of our school and community. | want to thank you for your warmth and kindness that you have shown me during our stay here at Millis High School. | hope that this “‘spirit’’ will be a beginning of your future. Joseph F. Arcudi Vice-Principal “The human individual possesses a contriving brain; insatiable intellectual curiosity, regardless of utility; a mem- ory; the power to reason; the capacity to order facts for long-range utiliza- tion; purpose; the will to make deci- sions and a capacity to execute them in subtle ways. All of these qualities are possessed by man at an order of magnitude which differentiates him absolutely from other animals... And more, man possesses Potentiality, 4 power to realize his potentiality in Ac- tuality; a power to which no limit is known.” James C. Malin To the class of 1976 Congratulations to each and every one of you on the successful comple- tion of this phase of your education. It is our sincere hope that we have played some instrumental part in providing you those skills, Know- ledges, and attitudes needed to fulfill your goals. May you always have the ability to develop those basic quali- ties necessary to insure success. Paul A. Brunelle Principal SECRETARIES — L. to R.

This year’s team was fairly new and many of the girls had never played together before, so many things didn’t quite “click”. Nonetheless, headway was made in the field of paramedic practices. The seniors would like to thank Miss Peter- son for her enthusiasm, confidence, and most importantly — herself. To all upcoming teams we wish “‘good-luck and get Dover Sherborn!” We're proud to say we played for MHS.

Finally, the 1975 Millis Mohawk football team would like to thank the coaching staff for their indefatigable efforts to get the most out of us. To Coach Hoffman, Coach Keen, and Coach Sper- andio: we enjoyed working with you and we wish that we could have won a few more games to show our appreciation, but thanks and keep up the good work.

The offense took time to develop early in the season but the defense kept the team in each game. Mid-way through the season the offense gained confidence in itself and the over-all team became vastly improved. The season concluded with three wins in a row, including a shutout of first place and previously undefeated Holliston, and a victory over arch-rival Medway. T.

We were fortunate to get a knowledgeable and energetic coach in Kathy Cassidy. The Varsity team had a successful 7-3 record. We proved our- selves in the State Tournament by de- feating Boston English and Wellesley and making it to the semi-finals. In the semi-final match against defending State Champs, Boston Latin Academy, a tough battle was fought as we lost 2-1, but won respect for our team and for Millis High School. A special commendation should go to: Patti MacKinnon, Sue Biagiotti, Chris Henderson and Patty Collins — J.V. players, brought up to the Varsity to go to the State Tournament. Also, the entire team would like to thank Mr. Brunelle for his hard work in getting us to the tournament, and to Mrs. Sue Lockett for chauffeuring us.

It was initiated by Kevin Dillon, a former teacher (original coach) in the 1973-1974 school year. It is composed of interested students in grades 9-12 who are competent in the field of mathematics. Millis is one of twelve teams belonging to the west division of the Greater Boston Mathematics League, which boasts a membership of some fifty-five schools. There are five regular season Math meets yearly, when all teams compete against each other within their respective divisions. At the end of the regular season representatives from each division are invited to compete inter-divisionally according to best regular seasons records, and size of the school. In its second year of competition Millis finished second in the G.8.M_L. in small school division for the 1974-1975 season, a commendable accomplishment.

The membershi p was increased from two to three representatives per grade level, plus the vice- grader were annexed to represent the Junior high. This enlarged membership enabled the entire student body to be better represented in student government. The council sponsored several dance-concerts which were successes socially as well as financially. Student rap- port with the community was improved by the willingn of the Council to aid several local organizations in servic ess ii] projects. On the whole, this was a very good year for the Student Council. The members worked diligently and well together so that the Council was able to become an active body working for the students. a ps o o of oOo £ Eb Ss 5 oe ae = 40 o ee £38 22 =) a Eg (oy Cw =) ae oe ra Do ow le) ie On pea) = um the only choice is how. —Henry Ward Beecher 40 Our spirit continued to warm the cold winter months through the friendships and hearty activities always to be found in Mohawk Territory . . .

Holliston Perr eh clr L HBPwWwwWirMDPWANWW=|-FOMNO | Pa Gee eae Overtime The 1975-1976 Millis hockey team played its last season as a member in the Southeastern League. This year the League was split into two divisions: the Tri-Voke and the Hockomock. Millis finished second in the Tri-Voke division behind Holliston. It was an exciting season from the very beginning when Millis almost upset Oliver Ames losing 3—2. Millis did upset rival King Philip beating them 5—4. The climax came in the final game of the year which matched Millis and Holliston for the third time in the season. It was the final playoff game and Millis won it in OVERTIME. This win gave Millis its first .500 season. The excitement and enthusiasm of the team showed in the great following of schoolmates and hockey lovers who supported the team. Looking ahead to next season brings to light great expectations: We will be playing in a newly formed Tri-Valley League. Playing the same teams as do the other school sports can only mean greater school support and wanting to be 1 in the Tri-Valley circuit. Coach O'Reilly HOCKEY CHEERLEADERS — L to R, FIRST ROW: B.

EXCELENTE!” were among the enthusiastic comments heard during and following ‘International Night” at Millis Junior-Senior High School on Tuesday evening, March 23. Several months’ work by the majority of the students enrolled in the foreign language program was well received by the seven hundred plus people in attendance, who were able to sample a variety of Spanish and French culinary treats and to enjoy folk dances, songs, puppet shows, foreign language lessons, and audio-visual presenta- tions. The Foreign Foods class and their teachers, Mrs. Pauline Ralston and Mrs. Maureen Maguire, spent long hours preparing a most interesting and tasty display of international breads. Ms. Elaine Peterson of the Physical Education Department contributed her talents by teaching folk dances at several 7:00 a.m. sessions. Ms. Patricia Griffin — Carty and several of her media class students “preserved” the event by taking slides. The teachers of the Foreign Language Department, Ms. Barry, Mrs. Rayner, Ms. Moan, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Flanagan, would like to heartily thank these people, as well as the administration, the faculty, and the parents and friends who joined us for a most gratifying evening of foreign language fun!

The season was filled with disappointments; losing two close games to Bellingham and one to Ashland. However, these were more than made up for when we beat Westwood.

Probably the most significant of these, the members learned the impor- tance of playing as a team. As the season progressed, outstanding individual efforts were complimented by a strong team effort resulting in several well earned victories.

We took part in the southeastern Massachusetts music festival again this year and the concert band received a B+ rating in class B which we are all very proud of. Much recognition is given to all who partici- pated in this year’s concert band, for everyone worked hard all year. Special congratulations are given to Al Purkis, David Burns, Linda Paul, and Debby Braman who represented Millis High School at this year’s district festival.

Coach Baglioni’s main objective was to establish the right kind of attitude and spirit in the team after a couple of mediocre seasons. This will pay off in the long run and is the first step in developing a winner. With the kind of talent in the underclassmen coming up, the future of Millis baseball looks bright and promising, as long as they do develop the right attitude. The baseball team would like to thank Coach Baglioni for all the hard work he put in. The seniors wish the baseball team the best of luck in the future. Bob Cannon Co-Captain 75 J.V. Baseball J. V.

Cassidy) This year’s team turned out to be a bit unusual. We started off with a loss but we got our spirits up and won our next three games. Then we ran int o our biggest problem ever—“INJURIES.” Injuries were costly but only temporary. Even though injuries did interfere, the team’s enthusi- asm, determination, and spirit kept them together. This year the team had three wonderful people be- hind them all the way, our two managers Liz Campbell and Jean Cassidy, and our terrific coach Miss Peterson, who inspired us with all their cheering and support throughout the season. The captains would like to thank the team for an exciting and enjoyable year, and wish them the best of luck next year and the years to come.

The loss of four starting golfers in last year’s graduating class was a formidable vacuum to fill. We face no such problem looking toward 1977. No members of the golf team are numbered among the members of this year’s graduating class. Among the honors achieved by the team this year were: —Second place in the Tri-Valley League individual competition (Scott Rose). —Third place in the Tri-Valley League individual competition (Craig An- derson). —Selection of a member of Millis team to the Tri-Valley All-Star Team (Scott Rose). —Retention of the Glen Ellen Tro- phy for Millis for the second consecutive year since its creation (the combined ef- forts of Scott Rose, Craig Anderson, and Kelly Fracassa). At the annual athletic awards banquet, the MVP trophy was awarded to Scott Rose. The Most Improved Golfer award went to Kelly Fracassa.

Though we didn’t win every match, we did our best, and that was half the battle. The seniors want to thank Mr. Cangi for the learning and the laughs we shared this season, and wish next year’s team more of the same.

The out- standing performances of eighth and ninth graders carried the team during the regular season. The older members’ experience paid off in the conference and state meets as Millis did better this year than in the previous six years. Looking back on the season, it is not the victories or defeats that come to mind but things like Sycamore’s shoelaces, ‘Butcher’ passing on the inside, “Mad Dog’’ Mirage, the relay team’s handoffs, sweeping the vault, losing discs, and Vigs, Irene, Ralph Wiley, Mark Fortin, Spertle, Porter, Hortin, Quayar, and the rest of the team who made the whole season a great time.

It was rough for some of us to be away from home for such a long time. For example, both KEITH POWERS and BOB BLANCHARD cried on the first day; Keith wanted his dog and BOB wanted his mother. There were a few more tears that year, too, when MIKE RIGGS and KATHY WOODARD fought over who should have more room in the sandbox. As we entered first grade, we started to learn many things, such as numbers, reading, and writing. Some things we were not taught, however. For example, SUE FERZOCO was surprised and confused when she was caught in the bathroom in the middle of a fire drill. That year we saw a lot of discipline. KERRY COSTA, PETER JOHNSON, MARY MORSE and DAVE O’HARA were often found in the corner for talking too much and being disorderly in class. GERRY WHALEN'S inability to catch his second grade bus began his notorious tardy career. In the second grade we were the victims of much teacher wrath. This was experienced by VALERIE CULPEPPER, who was often seen washing Mrs. Cohen's floors. As third graders, many of us felt we were becoming very sophisticated, especially CARMELA MINICUCCI, who became the envy of all the girls when she was the only girl in the third grade to have white go-go boots. Our move into the high school annex for fourth grade was a very exciting experience. This move was almost as exciting as the day DENISE FORTIER found a worm in her apple at lunch. At least it was a whole worm, DENISE!! TIM SMITH'S yearning for knowledge in Miss Antosh’s class occasionally got him into trouble. After enthusiastically answering all the questions, especially when girls were called upon, TIM was forced to wear a ribbon in his hair and a sign saying “TIMOTHINA” to lunch. Fourth grade was also a year of rowdiness. JAY McCARTHY was in charge of organizing baseball games using wads of paper and encyclopedias. The year was a real smash, especially for BARB ARMSTRONG, who knocked the clock right off the wall, simply by closing the door. In fifth grade, we will never forget how we tried to help BETH TATE win Mr. Biondo’s love. However, | don’t know how much help we were by giving him apples from “LIZ” that had been rolled around the lunchroom floor. Another unforgettable experience was our fifth grade class trip to Rocky Woods. This trip was memorable for JOANNE MAHAR, who was trapped on top of the high tower by the boys. When sixth grade came around, our class’ ability for music and drama began to shine. The members of the very first group of © Minitones, led by president JODEE HEATH, became the best group of Minitones Millis has ever seen. Women’s lib entered the scene when ‘‘Oliver’’ was presented that year. DEB SYCAMORE was forced to take the part of Mr. Bramlow from TERRY FITZGERALD because TERRY could not manage to learn the lines. School was a lot of fun and laughs that year, especially when LAURA LEMIEUX brought a laughing bag to Miss Brosnan’s room and pulled the string in the middle of class. Almost as interesting was the way TRACY DILLON managed to have at least every boy in the sixth grade as a boyfriend at one time or another during that year, Although the school was still standing at the end of the year, the picture of George Washington in Mrs. Winkler’s room did not survive. Led by BOB CANNON and STEVE SMITH, it had been bombed by spitballs the whole year. Our move into the junior high school in seventh grade was a big change for us. The arrival of MARY HAGEARTY that year let SUSAN CLARK know that she wasn’t the only one in the world who could read a book in a day. As newcomers in the junior high we realized we really weren't as great as we thought we were. For example, at the National Junior Honor Society ceremony, AL PURKIS couldn't even get the match lit to light the candles. Our first year of high school was the first year that we were really involved in school sports. Although we often had fun, there were times when taking part in sports was painful. ELLEN MURPHY found that this was true when she dislocated her knee during cheering practice one day. Although we received some injuries that year, some of our opponents did, too. STEVE BUCHANAN started playing basketball that year and earned the name “BUTCHER”. Ninth grade was also the first year of class meetings. One class meeting was so noisy that DAVE ROUSE, the class vice-president, was ordered to leave for being too rowdy. There were many new arrivals our sophomore year, including: CINDY RUSSELL, JOE TERLIZZI, and STEVE STIENMAN. As sophomores, we managed to bring a great deal of entertainment to the public. Many of us took part in the Seventh Annual Talent Show. The Midgets and guitarist GAIL IARROBINO were among the list of sophomore entertainers. Also that year, SHERYL MACPHERSON, a newcomer to MHS, teamed up with KARIN BARNES to head a small crew who were not afraid of heights. They were seen months later cleaning the ladies rooms and the smoking platform. Even though many of us became eligible to drive, our talents were still a bit limited. For example, DON MAY’S Roman Day catapult backfired in his own face. Eleventh grade brought a new face to MHS in PAUL BEARD, who was quickly snatched up by TERRI CLEWES. ROBIN GANS was another newcomer that year, and MIKE O‘LOUGHLIN was glad she moved in. Being juniors meant a lot to us. It meant we had Only two years to go and only a short amount of time to raise five thousand dollars. With Miss Germano as our new class advisor, we brought in one thousand dollars in only the first four months of school. Yet, amidst the car washes, Dime-a-Dip Dinner and Christmas Bazaar, we still managed to find time to make a trip to Sturbridge Village. GREG ST. CYR and JIM COLLINS enjoyed Sturbridge so much that they almost missed the bus back home. The Eighth Annual Talent Show was the best ever to hit Millis. Although many tears were shed during rehearsals, acts such as the Band Skit, the Somewhere Girls, the magic act and the Soap Opera broug ht laughter from the audience. One act that we will never forget is Kung Fu Fighting. JEFF DOWNING and BRIAN MATTY really got into what they were doing, resulting in one broken wrist. Although the year was a busy one we still had time for some active socializing. CARMEN ENGLISH showed GINNY PAUL the perfume she used to attract some of the guys. Unfortunately, she managed to spill it all over herself in Mr. Tuohey’s class one day, forcing the class to leave the room. Our Senior year got off to a smashing start when BLANE WILLEY and KEN O’REILLY managed to end the football season a lot earlier than they expected. DEBBY JOHNSON was going to start giving horseback riding lessons this year, but for some strange reason, she decided to give up horses forever. Our senior play M A S H was a lot of fun. We also learned a lot from itl The entire cast learned how to memorize, DON ROY learned to talk slowly, KEN PFISTER learned. the “Our Father’’, and BOB JONES practiced sounding like a general. With DAN HARDIN‘S help, MARK FORSYTHE managed to convince the audience and a congresswoman, that he really had gone crazy. But, most importantly, M A S H was a big success. We were surprised that year to find out that JIMMY DENNETT decided to stick around an extra year and graduate with us. Other welcome additions to our senior class were: BONNIE ALEXANDER, ROBIN GREEN, GLADYS SMITH, and LINDA STARK. PATTY JORDAN and DIANE MITCHELL (alias Batman and Robin), are also graduating a year early. An hilarious event of our senior year occurred when KARIN ELOFSON, by some strange force beyond her control, plastered her brother David in the face with a woopie pie. He said he wanted one!! Our senior class trip to Eastover in the Berkshires was a good time. Many of us went swimming in the indoor pool, while MARGARET HAGEARTY and DONNA FLANAGAN preferred swimming in the cano e stream, with a little help from: KEVIN KUJANPAA, CHARLIE HARCOVITZ, LINDA MAEL, and PATTY HURLEY. We all enjoyed the swimming, tennis, horseback riding, canoeing, volleyball and especially the food. However, HELEN FELTON found the excitement just a little too much. Our senior banquet at Flame and Sword Restaurant was a terrific evening. After presentations, including the dedication to Miss Germano, the rest of the evening was spent dancing to the music of the Winikers. Much recognition is given to PETER MONAGHAN, for, after many years of using pear soap, it finally paid off. Tonight, thirteen years of fun and happiness will end, but we hope that our happiness will go on forever.

The Class of ‘79 143 To the Senior Class of 1976 T'was the night of graduation And all through the school Not a senior was lurking For that was the rule. They were all dressed up In their caps and gowns. The girls were all smiling The boys had no frowns. They walked down the rows And stepped up the stairs, Then strolled to their seats And said a few prayers. They anxiously awaited Their names to be read, While thoughts of the future Ran through their heads. The ceremony was over And they all filed out, All dancing and screaming And many did shout. But then thoughts of Millis Came back to their heads. All good things that have happened, The times not hard to find. And then one senior realized, That Millis wasn’t through. She ran and told her classmates There were things they must do. She rattled off duties To her left and right. They all ran half crazy For they've just begun their fight. She told them all to live In their own style and way, And Millis will always be there To visit some day. As the lights all went out And the seniors went to bed, Thoughts of their future Were pleasant they ve said.
