We had many creative ideas which greatly contributed to the Yearbook. As a result of the combined efforts of advisor Brian Tuohey, Business Editor Nancy Bis and the entire Business Staff in raising funds, we were fortunate enough to add a little color to our Yearbook. Toward s the end of the year, after graduation there was a handful of peo- ple, so devoted that they donated a night a week of their summer vacation to | Yearbook meetings. We would like to personally thank Nancy Bis, Liz Campbell, Maria Cudo, Beth Sycamore, Wendy Gehling and Maureen Can- non for their time and undying effort. We would also like to thank Junior Trish Anomaet and Seniors Gavin Sullivan and Mark McBride for their art contributions. Most of all we would like to give special thanks to advisors Maureen Conroy and Brian Tuohey. Without their encouragement, there would not be a Yearbook. Thanks, Karen Shire Maureen Leary Co-Editors-in-Chief DEDICATION rt of our sophomore year, a new teacher arrived at chool. Mr. Williams immediately took on the posi- ss advisor. It was a considerable task, especially who knew none of the students. m beginning Mr. Williams proved to be a valuable He gave all of the extra effort we needed to make our class essful. Through his perseverance we were able to stic spring fair and prom in our Junior year. None t the hours he gave to help make our talent show t ever. Then throughout the senior year he handled “difficulties” with patience and hard work to make BE most memorable. . Mr. Williams left us with a part of himself. ieee years we have come to know him as a fine true friend. @ reasons and many more that we, the Class of lly dedicate our yearbook with many thanks and to Mr. Williams. ofl PPRECIATION In Appreciation At this time, the class would also like to ex- tend sincere thanks and appreciation to the two people who have made the publication of this yearbook possible. Mr. Tuohey was a veteran concerning year- book business affairs, and with his knowledge and ‘“‘powers of persuasion’, he made fund raising seem easy. Miss Conroy headed the yearbook staff in the composition of our book. Although this was her first year as Advisor, her novel ideas, accompanied by countless hours of hard work, made her seem a seasoned professional. Again, our thanks to these two fine people for their assistance, for now we truly believe we have created the most original and exciting yearbook ever. a SPECIAL (mb Throughout our high school years Mrs. Mary Barrett has always shown us a great deal of patience and understanding. If it were not for this one guidance counselor many of us never would have overcome the complexities of arena scheduling nor would we have mastered the art of planning our future. She has aided each and every one of us either in selecting a college and curriculum or in selecting future career directions. We, the Class of 1977, feel greatly indebted to this one individual and it is for this reason that we extend our Special Thanks to Mrs. Mary Barrett. To the Class of 1977: It has been said that a leader has two important characteristics: first, he is going somewhere; second, he is able to persuade other people to go with him. Selecting a leader of the Class of 1977 would be a difficult task, because there are so many of you who know where you are going and who have also persuaded others to follow. Although you may have been a follower, now be prepared to individualize your thinking in order to make your own decisions for determining life goals. As each of you travels in many directions away from home, try to bear in mind the words of Konrad Adenauer: “When the world seems large and complex, we need to remember that great world ideals all begin in some home neighborhood.” Best wishes to each of you.

Although our record in com- petition was only fair, the team showed undying enthusiasm for the chance to compete and the chance to make new friendships. After a reorganiza- tion of the Greater Boston Mathematics League, the team from Millis found itself in what is rated the toughest division in the league. This division boasts possession of the league cham- pionship for the past several years. This did not dampen the team’s spirit, but only served to raise its competitive instinct to a higher level. This is the response which I, as its coach, will always remember. Mr. Cangi FRONT ROW, L-R: S. Purkis, M. Cannon, J. Bergen, B. Bradley, A. DeFanti. BACK ROW, L-R: Coach M. Cangi, K. Garland, J.

The 1977 Soccer Team played competitively with desire and stamina. In a game which demands such specific skills, it is encouraging to note that there are a lot of young players who are developing. The future for Millis High soccer looks bright and promising. The soccer team would like to thank coach Vigue for all the hard work he put in. The seniors on the team wish the returning players the best of luck in the future.

First the coaches: Coach McNiffe—otherwise known as the “Big T” or the “Spark Plug”. This man has become an in- stitution in the locker room. I won’t say he’s early to practice, but he opens the doors for the janitors. This man truly loves the game. He’s always there with a word of Basketball wisdom when you need it. (Which has been pretty often this season.) He’s rendered his services for charity and the team will never be able to repay him for his coaching. Now we come to Coach Burns, our Assistant and J.V. Coach. He’s known as Mr. Rule Book for his knowledge of the game. For example: He’s the man who straightened out Kedski who thought the team who scores the first basket in overtime wins the game. Another one of his jobs is to pacify Coach Carroll. When Coach gets out of hand, Coach Burns passes him the bottle to calm him down. Now for our Head Coach, Coach Carroll. There isn’t enough relish in the world to cover this Hot Dog. He’s always teaching us new Hot Dog moves like lefty lay-ups. He’s always there with a bit of humor to break the intense basketball tension that can arise. Why I remember just last game at half-time he said — “This game’s a joke! (Just kidding!).”’ He’s been kicked out of the gym by everybody from Mr. Brunelle to a 7th grader who wanted to practice his foul shots. Our cheerleaders are 1 though, a feat which we are all proud of. They had much practice during our games cheering to our fans, the Jordans, Kedskis, Richards, Elofsons and Sliver Murphy. I won’t say these fans drown their sorrows after our games, but when they go out they all wear life jackets. But in all seriousness, I know this basketball season wasn’t the greatest, but there’s nowhere to go but up! If the coaches refuse to quit and stick with it, and the players refuse to quit and keep on learning and playing and the fans and cheerleaders keep on rooting, an improvement in Millis Basketball is inevitable. Thank you, D. Elofson Don’t worry you guys! 91 JUNIOR VARSITY: BACK ROW: J. Fitzgerald, D. Smith, P. Robinson, K. Anderson, J. Bond, J. Santos, Coach Burns. FRONT ROW: M. Collins, R. Bennett, J.

The team was led by an ex- perienced core of ten seniors and the great coaching of Mr. O’Reilly. The non-league games that preceded the regular season had the team flying high as they won five out of five; beating Mansfield twice, Foxboro twice, and North Attleborro. Although the season was the best ever, it was still somewhat disappointing. The team finished tied for second with Westwood just four points behind first place Holliston. The payoff for all the hard work came with the last game of the season. It was the 4-3 victory over King Philip, a rivalry that has existed for years. The teams good fortune was due to coach O'Reilly. To coach O’Reilly, and the underclassmen we wish the best of luck in future hockey seasons, —P. Kilmartin, C.

We looked like it would be “all the way” in our scrimmages as we destroyed Blue Hills, Nipmuc and Westboro. The Blackstone- Millville 7:30 fiasco was interesting as no one really knows the final score. We continued doing our thing by beating Blackstone Valley Tech., and having a super day taking thirteen first places (and practically no seconds or thirds). In the League relays we finished just 6 points out of third place with a disqualification making the difference. We also ended up being league relay cham- pions in the high hurdles. Everything soon came to a halt as we entered our league meets. First we met Medway, who was picked to win it all. After a _ very demoralizing loss it was downhill all the way. We never seemed to get quite what we needed to win — a disqualification vs. Medfield (and hey, what about the high jump?) and the Washington trip vs. Dover (our sure win). The season did have its highlights though as we broke six school records. Co-captain Pat Kilmartin set a record at the last meet of the year in a new event, the 880. Bob Kedski has three records to his credit, Sycamore did it again and the 4 x 220 crew in the State relays broke an eleven year old record. The freshman team won the conference meet for the second year in a row (we'll be good some day!) We tied the old Class D record in the high jump in the State relays — (Mike’s 6’2” jump was the biggest laugh of the day!). In the conference meet we scored our share of points as Kedski was a double winner in the 220 and 100. Fortier had his one good day which was good enough for second in the pole vault. ‘Kilma” shattered the record in the 880 and placed fourth (where does Westwood get those 2 milers?) What about eighth-grader Jim Caddell — 20° 6” in the long jump, placing third, and the dynamic duo — Sullivan Collins (a measured 5°8°”?) placing fifth and sixth in the high jump? Co-captains Pedalino and Kilmartin both leave with two school records, as does Kerry Short. Gavin Sullivan also has one. And so its over now with nothing but memories and maybe if we had a few breaks and pushed a little harder — who knows? 110 Phun tH RNa “The thrill of victory.” 114 cael 1 ‘ wi “Sas Anemaet.

Led by our indefatigable and charismatic coach, Mike Cangi, we feverishly forged our way up the TVL ladder. We placed third in the league, and competed in the state tournaments. Our “point hungry” team was comprised of seven strong and sophisticated seniors. However, without the valiant efforts of those frisky underclassmen, our record would not have been as glorious. Although Coach Cangi’s bribes of pizza ice cream were contributing factors to our victories, we are sure he would agree that our team’s spirit of cooperation was commensurate with its spirit of competition. To all who have helped the Millis Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team, we give a hearty thanks, and extend our wishes for a terrific sason next year.

The months of preparation were highlighted by exchange concerts with Madison College from Virginia, Stoughton High School and Friendly High School from Maryland. Working under guest conductors Dr. Lee Chrisman from Boston University and Mr. James Wiltshire from Boston Conservatory was an exciting and educational opportunity. At the Southeast District Adjudication Festival held in late April, the Concert Band received an ‘“‘A”’ rating for musical performance while the Marching Band walked off with an “A” for marching ability as well as an “‘A” for musicality. It was a proud and accomplished band which journeyed to Washington, D.C. in mid-May. The four-day tour included sightsee- ing, dinner at famous restaurants, Hogates and Blackies, and three unforgettable concerts at the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial and the Capitol Building. It was a wonderful experience for all! This has been an exciting year for music at Millis High.

Everyone at Millis High knew that there was something special about the Jazz Ensemble this year.They proved it, early in March, when they won First Place for Division II in the Southeast Massachusetts jazz band competition and qualified to compete in the State Finals with the three winning bands from the other state districts. After two more weeks of early morning sectionals and late night rehearsals, the months of preparation paid off. Their performance was outstanding! The judges created a special award to commend the entire Rhythm Section for musical excellence. Our own “‘chick horn player’, Linda Paul, was recognized as the Most Valuable Musician in the competition. And, the M.H.S. Jazz Ensemble won First Place for Division II, becoming the best jazz band in the state! As State Champions, our Jazz Ensemble was invited to perform at Lowell University for the Massachusetts Music Educators’ Con- ference. The Jazz Ensemble finished the year with the Third Annual Din- ner Dance, a memorable evening of food, dance and superb music. We will proudly remember the 1976-1977 Jazz Ensemble, the first State Champions from Millis High. Wendy S. Gehling Tuning in the round Rhythm Section Leader SAXOPHONES — S. Carey, J. Burns, E.

At the Third Annual Dinner Dance, everyone had a wonderful time dancing to the music of the Vocal Jazz Ensemble. They were terrific!

Our class is characterized by a sense of pizzaz which is so unique that it will never be seen in the halls of MHS again. This pizzaz is a part of every member of the Class of 77. Each member has contributed his or her unique personality and assets to form to the overall im- - age of the Class of 1977. You might think that this speech is boastful, but I feel that one should express in words what one feels in his heart. It would be impossible to go through twelve years of schooling without a few great memories, so today we are going to have a mini ‘‘flashback”’ to share with you, all of the crazy things that add up to the Class of °77. ALEX FERZOCO is obviously a famous gigolo, this is a well-known fact. However, few of you realize that Alex’ career began early in life. Just recently it was revealed that Alex sent letters of love to LEE MERKLE at the tender age of eight. His love was unrequited, and it has been downhill for Alex ever since. Some members of the class had a chosen career before graduation was even in sight. SCOTT RILEY, after losing his driving instructor’s certificate, turned to a new line of work. From this beginning, ‘‘Riley’s Stump- Removal Service” was born. Other classmates had an even earlier jump into professional lives. NANCY SZABLINSKI was seen pumping gas as early as the eighth grade, a milestone for women. WADE CABANA, well-known “grease monkey”’, will never live down the fact that Nancy was a professional before he changed his first spark plug. During the sixth grade, TED HARCOVITZ was indoctrinated with the traveling salesman mystique. Who can forget being approached in a dark corner of the Memorial School hallways with, ‘‘Wanna buy a creepy- crawlie real cheap’”? He was not to be outdone, however. JIM NEVILLE aggravated both Ted and the Junior High teachers when he set up his mini-mirror sales during the seventh grade. The fad just “flashed” in and out, however, and Jim went out of business. One event that pulled us together as a class is something the Class of ’77 will always be remembered by — our parties! However, some of you may not remember these parties, because you weren’t invited. Many memories were made “‘after-hours’’, and it seems only fair to share some of these times with you. The parties were fun, but the people there and some of their antics were even funnier. DENNY O’CONNOR will always be remembered as the first person to have a real live ‘‘boy-girl”’ party when we were in the fifth grade. Rumor has it that spin-the-bottle was a feature attraction. Other party firsts must go to NANCY HOFFMAN and her father. Nancy’s party would have been a huge success if her father had left his Polaroid in the closet. Attendance at parties and the goings on are often memorable. JIM HAMILTON was seen at every party this year with a most shapely date — his guitar. Senior parties turned many people on — right, RICHARD ALLARD? Richard made a premiere appearance at the wild Senior Play bash and had such a good time that he’s been a steady partier ever since. Partying can only go so far, however, as PAT KILMARTIN and JOHN DALE will well remember. Pat lost his head one night and his breakfast when he turned Dale’s Restaurant upside down with a flip of a table. Some people never wanted to leave parties as JULIE CASSIDY well knows. Julie almost spent the night “stuck” at the pits, but Uncle Terrence’s tractor saved the day and her car. SUE BIAGIOTTI was so psyched to start a party one night that she almost lost her head and her car, She really didn’t enjoy herself, however, because the only people who joined the party were the Millis Police to tow her. School wasn’t a favorite spot for many members of our class and they were often found evading respon- sibilities in “illegal” ways. GEORGE PENNINI was the first to show his nonchalance, he was a cool cat at five years old. George tried to skip his first day of school. Nothing could get him on the school bus. There were many ways to avoid classes at the Clyde Brown School, a favorite was “serving time”’ on the bench. CHRIS SLUICER will always remember the day he spent time — all over his infamous “Captain Crunch Decoder Ring”. PENNY JOHNSON made a great impression on her teachers and found herself sitting on the bench one day for too much talking! It was here, during the second grade, that her lasting friendship with DEB FISHER was formed. Punishment was severe during our early years and misdemeanors in the lunch room were dealt with harshly. JANE INGRAHAM remembers eating lunch one day in first grade while seated on the stage. All that seemed mild to LEE MERKLE in the fifth grade, however, Lee spent one lunch at the infamous “chaos causers table’ because she kicked a girl out of her seat. When we reached high school, imagination and deception ran amock. It was challenging to think of new ways to skip a class AND NOT GET CAUGHT! TIM SMITH thought he had found an ideal solution. Unfortunately, state police in five states didn’t agree with him. Tim’s three-day vacation his sophomore year was great, but the “‘stiff sentence” afterwards wasn’t half as pleasant. Our senior year was definitely a turning point in this aspect. Even BETHANY BRADLEY got into the act when she “avoided” a calculus class. BOB MARAGGIO found a great solution. We noticed that Bob was only in classes half the time this year. It wasn’t until later that we discovered that all of his free time was spent - chasing drips with bucket and mop in hand. The most widespread epidemic of absenteeism, which will never be forgotten, occurred one Thursday mor- ning in April. A group of 42 seniors decided to hold a pre-graduation party and the first annual pancake breakfast was formed. The administration has stated that the ‘‘annual” will be deleted. PATTI MACKIN- NON and LINDA GANUSKO, two members of the daring troupe, ate their fill but they were the most silent members at the reunion for the breakfasters. The reunion was otherwise known as detention. One of the most daring ventures of all occurred during our senior year. ALBERT STIVALETTA and CHRIS SLUICER escaped punishment by concealing their identities. This was done by a “‘quick change”’ so that the teachers couldn’t tell who the snowball culprit really was. One topic that really highlights our history is romance. The love lives of some members of our cla ss were often comical and usually embarrassing, but when we look back, they were fun. LAUREN HANSEN maintained her self-respect when she refused to kiss Denny O’Connor in the sixth grade. BOO LYONS set the ‘77 romance hot line on fire when it was heard that she had not one, not two, but three dates in one night! Another romance classic occurred in our elementary years when GARY CIASULLO and BREFFNY ROUSE were on a romantic stroll through the park. Breffny refused to sit down on the ground although Ciasullo gave her the line that he was exhausted and needed rest. Another ’77 first, SUE KERWIN holds the ’77 record for most boyfriends in a row—seven! CRAIG ANDERSON was always a very mature young man. He was so mature that in second grade he tried to get a date with his teacher but had to settle for her picture and fond memories. In some cases, romance sputtered as in last year’s prom. LINDA DAWSON, while dancing, fell asleep in Alex Ferzoco’s arms. (She must have thought he was a rug.) Ah yes, romance was not all that plagued the Class of ’77. Accidents were also a part of our class. CARLEEN DELAPORTA’s dress ACCIDENTALLY split at the prom. This incident was known as the “Battle of the Bulge’. In third grade, KAREN ROONEY had a broken foot as well as a broken heart when she couldn’t attend recess. Some accidents were of suspicious origin, for example when WENDY GEHLING fell off DAVE ELOFSON’s knee in a ‘Bells Are Ringing” rehearsal. MARIA MINICUCCI, while playing indoor football in Miss Veno’s room, put the light on the injured list. The Class of “77 is a mischievous one with many a prankster, all though some people may not want these memories remembered, it is history! 151 152 PAT KILMARTIN paid the price for lighting matches when LARRY RUTH spoke up to the teacher about Pat’s dirty work. AL FERZOCO played a practical joke on LAUREN ANDERSON in the fifth grade when he used her hand as a torch. GAVIN SULLIVAN played a prank in Mr. Dushkus’ class which he paid for by laughing in the corner for an hour! SCOTT ROSE and JULIE CASSIDY pulled the wool over everyone’s eyes in a Monday after school special. STEVE CURLEY maintained his sanity on the opening night of the Talent Show, by refusing to be a playboy bunny because his legs weren’t shaved. DAN DESMARAIS was the recipient of a Julie joke in eighth grade when he was KO’ED by Julie Cassidy. The Class of ’77 is a class full of firsts. For example: ALBERT STIVALETTA was the first person to really hear what a Junior High concert sounded like. MARIA CUDO was the first woman arm wrestling champion. JANE BERGEN was our first Miss USA because she was able to name all 50 states when she was in second grade. CINDY TACKETT was the first girl to wear lipstick in the fourth grade. However, some firsts weren’t as great as others, BOB KONEY was the first to forget how to write the alphabet in his senior year. ANITA DENNETT was the first girl to wet he r pants at Patti O’s seventh grade party. Acting will be remembered as a Class of ’77 trait. NANCY BIS did a dramatic portrayal of a Jack-In-the-Box in Miss Monty’s class in seventh grade. MAUREEN CANNON missed her acting debut this year by not getting called out in that favorite skit, “The Math Team Pep Rally”. Patti O’Loughlin tried to break into show biz by posing for nude pictures at a Junior High Girl Party, (I can’t see why she never made it). LESLIE BUCHANAN would not let us forget her role as “Tuptim”’ in THE KING I because she sang her name everywhere. DAVID ELOFSON was mauled by twenty little kids for autographs at Stony Brook apartments for his acting feats. KATHY HAMPTON will long be remembered for her evil faces as Simon Legree. Automobiles and the “Class of 77” didn’t mix. In the sixth grade, PAUL DANIS’ auto crash left him with two black eyes. KATHY BRYANT has lost count of her crashes. DAN COFFEY was acclaimed doughnut king for his stunts in the Westwood High parking lot. KAREN SHIRE put eight kids in her car for a Big Mac Attack and then proceeded to a Uniroyal shock store. A few violent happenings can also be remembered through our history, for example: PAUL LACROIX paid the price for kicking Kilmartin’s car. JULIE CASSIDY and CLARE CASSIDY had a regular clan war, with Julie finishing up in the hospital. MARK MCBRIDE had more fights than Mohammed Ali but. fought like Duane Bobick. KENNY PAUR stopped violence by hiring body guards PATTI JORDAN and LINDA PAUL. RICHARD AULENBACK will long be remembered as our only great motorcycle driver with no wins! SUE CAREY violently attacked WENDY GEHLING in the sixth grade. LORI GILLIS and CARLEEN DELAPORTA signed themselves away as slaves to ALEX and DAVID, for their punishment for locker. theft. JOANNE BURNS violently attacked many people with her pocketbook in Junior High. Sports is another field that the Class of 77 has mastered. In eighth grade, MAUREEN LEARY let a field hockey goal in while bending over to look for her necklace. CINDY SCOTT and JANINE COUSENS were the only ’77 girls talented enough to be on a girls’ hockey team. TAMI SIMS proved her athletic ability in eighth grade by outthrowing FRED PETERSON in the shot put. LISA TOBIN was chosen to the All-Star Football Squad by nailing all the boys in sixth grade. BOB HOLMES led the Millis Freshman Basketball Team to victory by holding the ball over his head so no one could get it. Bionic BRIAN BENSON literally felt a part of Millis Hockey. TOM COLLINS received no injuries after completing a full year on the chess team in ninth grade. BARBARA ROCHE proved that she would rather ski than ride a bus to school. There were many arrivals and departures in our class. PAUL MCGILLEN left and came back to good old MHS. DIANE FERRIS liked MHS so much that she staved another year. Our freshman year brought 007 Agent DEBBIE BOND to our class. Senior year brousht SCOTT ERICKSON, DONNA MAHONEY, and JUDY BERMAN to our 77 ranks for a year they ‘will not soon forget. Some events that happened during our history cannot be classified and therefore belong under the mis- cellaneous category: SUE PARKER will be remembered for setting up her day care center in the halls of MHS. DAVE PEDALINO will be remembered for not remembering a sophomore dance. TERRY O'REILLY was a long time employee of Ken’s Quality Market where she put on a quality performance. LYNDA ANDERSON will never forget ripping her undies as she jumped over a fence in sixth grade. BRIAN FORSYTHE tried to im- itate Euell Gibbons by camping out every weekend. In seventh grade, JIM REARDON fell for the natural hazards of our town when he got stuck in quicksand. DONNA GRAHAM and TAMI SIMS will remember their experiences with the bulls at Sturbridge Village. ELAINE CARTER will remember, from her ninth grade romances, her nickname “Playgirl”. ANN HAGEARTY can still be heard complaining about the food on her trip to U. Mass. JANE ACKERMAN was one of the first students to have a bathroom incident in the first grade. CHRISTA ORLANDO is remembered for always reading. LIZ, EVIE, and BRENDA can be remembered for reading the sign “ONE PER STALL”. MARK MCBRIDE allegedly drew por- nography that could not go into the art show. LINDA REVELL will be remembered for bringing the smelliest goat into Mrs. Healy’s class. It’s rumored that LINDA GANUSKO and PATTI MACKINNON still have time to make up for the famed 77 Pancake Breakfast. JIM CARTER can always be remembered as MD. MARY CLARK turned country girl when she moved from Roxbury to Millis. MAG ALBANI will always remember the chickens at Beth Sycamore’s Pajama party. DEB SEAGER will be remembered as the chicken farmer in the eighth grade. KIM SHOREY will always be known as the ticket lady at Stan’s Ice Palace. ROSE SOUZA and LISA TABARANI will be remembered for their poker playing in the cafeteria. MARJORIE DICALOGERO set school records for three years of tardiness at Millis. KERRY SHORT can be best remembered in Mr. Barclay’s class for starting his own distillery. LANGDON ANDREWS and LENNIE LEIGHTON can still be seen falling off their chairs in band. LINDA PAUL is still known for playing her garden hose in fourth grade. CINDY BOOTH was the first ‘77 girl to wear the Farrah Fawcett hairdo. JANYCE BICKNELL was the first person to experiment with helium in the eighth grade. This ends our class history. Now I'd like to read a poem I wrote which sums up the class history. 153 IN THE BEGINNING, There were 50 curlicued and wiffle-headed kids shoved off to school, All fired up with energy and ready to break almost any rule. Their faces were as innocent as new fallen snow, Yet none of their minds could conceive the long road they had to go. Yes, they spent their days in that small brown school Learning ABC’s and numbers and acting like little fools. These kids were wary of the bench and ate lunch by token, Many of these so-called students paid the price for a word too outspoken. All of a sudden they found themselves in a new school, One where the bathrooms had a fountain in a pool. A school that was exciting due to all the bomb scare panics, And that’s all I can remember of our days in the Annex. Next came the Memorial which was like stepping back in time. There were tons of old pipes covered with grime. Though this school looked like it should be thrown The teachers there had a class of their own. There was Lynch, Ford, Dushku and Martin you say, One of whom looked as if she played linebacker for Green Bay. It was in these years our class became united, Despite the hill where many a fisticuffs was fighted. The power of the sixth grade made us sky high, Thus we all participated in the romantic KING I. Then the seventh grade and we were back to the lowest of low, Everyone above and no one below. We thought, no recess what will we do? Maybe suicide, crying, or even a coup! But we accepted Jr. High with all the class that we had Food fights, skip days, detention were just part of our bag. As ninth graders our time had come. High school lay before us, it was no time to be dumb. A few hit the books and decided to study, A few hit the platform, but our class was still buddy-buddy. Our sophomore year we really started to party, And up went Miss Diskin’s list of the tardy. That year and next, we watched two classes go. Wishing them well and fine And waiting, just waiting for our turn to shine! It came to us with great splendor that fall. Finally, yes, we were on top of it all. Suddenly, our name was the Class of °77 “Go For It’? was our saying, our aim 7th Heaven. We supported our teams and were proud of our class, Despite many a hassle from the moustached brass. The year went fast and suddenly it ended. It seemed there was so much we left unattended. The end of not only our senior year, But our whole education, Thirteen long years which seems like a great fabrication. The members of the Class of ’77 Some new, some old But all proud of their class, yes proud and bold They left one day at the final bell ring Yes, they left room for a new class to play king. Their lockers empty, closed were their doors. Their books returned with only a name left in them. Yes, these 130 seniors left without a trace But memories of the Class of ’77 will never, never be erased. 154 But when we get behind closed doors? Hi Cutie! I'm bored. Viges and Farrah OVER” Our fearless leaders? saa rs Do you like my tie? GandidsS .

In testimony, we the Class of 1977, here unto set our hand on the second day of June in the year of Our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven, do declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to this week’s presentation of NBC’s Big Event. My name is Wendy Gehling and I'll be your hostess this afternoon as we take you to the Eastover Country Club in Lenox. Massachusetts, for the incredible event of Mr. Willi am Williams’ wedding. Yes folks, after years of telling his students, “But I really am getting married this summer,” and returning single in the fall, this per- petual bachelor is finally in earnest, and the entire Class of 1977 has assembled to witness their beloved ad- visor when he takes that fatal plunge. The wedding ceremony is being performed by the first woman priest, Father LINDA DAWSON. The wedding pictures will be taken by photographer, MARIA CUDO. Tomorrow, Maria leaves on her first assignment for Wildlife Magazine. She'll be filming the bizarre wildlife in Medway. Entertainment for the reception will be provided by the new singing group featuring DONNA SMITH- TONRA and CHRISTA ORLANDO. The group is called “Christa Orlando and Don.” A guest appearance will be made by JIM HAMILTON who drives women wild with his Elvis Presley im- pression. His sudden rise to fame occurred immediately after he changed his stage name from Ivan Hoe to Romeo Juliet. When asked why his name made such a difference, Jim replied, “There are 160 Ivanhoes, but there are only 11 Romeos.” As a special treat, opera star ANITA DENNETT will not be performing today. It seems that Anita’s in- credible vocal range is shattering records ... and glasses ... and windows ... and walls ... DAN DESMARIS, the ecology-conscious owner of Desmar’s Demolition Company, is negotiating a contract with Anita to use her infamous high notes in place of dynamite. Unfortunately, business commitments are forcing some members of the Class of ’77 to miss Mr. Williams’ wedding. Equestrians HOLLY GREGOIRE and DONNA GRAHAM are in England, caring for Princess Anne’s favorite horse, Thunderbolt. The girls report that the princess spoils her most prestigious thoroughbred outrageously. Holly’s job is to read Thunderbolt a bedtime story (usually BLACK BEAUTY) while Donna tucks him in. Out in the wilderness of Montana, forest ranger KEN PAUR arrested JOANNE BURNS for burning down his observation tower. The fire really singed the plans of movie director, DAVE PEDALINO, who had hoped to use this forest as the location for his new film, “Ms. Grizzly Adams,” starring ANN HAGEARTY as Ms. Adams with starlet JUDY BERMAN featured as Smokey the Berman. Secretary of Agriculture, BRIAN BENSON, is in Washington today fighting against the legalization of marijuana. Mr. Benson is quoted as saying, “Too much fertile land will be misused and wasted to grow that evil weed.” SCOTT LEIF ERICKSON, editor-in-chief of ““High Times” magazine, claims that Mr. Benson is confused. Says Scott, “‘It’s not the land that will be wasted, it’s the people.” This legal battle may someday reach the High Court. On the college lecture circuit, SUE CAREY is conducting a lecture series on, ““How.:..tomake...a... one-minute speech... last... for... three whole minutes.” Professor LISA TABARANT is still speaking on the subject of ‘How to live up to one’s own expectations, and if two paths shall meet, it will be beautiful.” Dr. RICHARD AULENBACK, PhD. of Philosophy, is lecturing on ““How to be profound, like me!” Tennis pro PATTI MACKINNON, who reached national fame as a faith healer, is in prison after being convicted of fraud by professional skeptic, GAVIN SULLIVAN. According to Gavin, the tennis pro’s faith healing business was quite a racket. Notorious ski bum, SCOTT RILEY, is still in the hospital, recovering from injuries received last month at Vale, Colorado. Ironically enough, Scott’s accident did not occur on the slopes, but rather in the lodge when he made a pass at ski instructor, LINDA GANUSKO. During the off-season Linda runs a Karate school. Better luck next time, Scott! a7 MARGARET ALBAN is on Broadway starring in the one-woman musical drama entitled, “This is crazy, I’m not gonna do it.” Lawyer PATTI O'LOUGHLIN, was unable to attend this historic event. She is currently tied up in court 159 160 defending President LEE MERKLE (alias Sleezy Leezy) who is being charged with discrimination and sex- ism. Her private secretary, CRAIG ANDERSON, claims that President Merkle hired him for his body. (As you all know, Craig moonlights as a Sears catalog model for Fruit of the Loom underwear.) BETH SYCAMORE is in Chicago tonight being crowned Queen of the Roller Derby. Her manager, DENNY O’CONNOR, credits Beth’s stunning success to her new diet of garlic and onions. According to Mr. O’Connor, Beth knocks the competition dead. MAUREEN CANNON is once again advocating a cause. This time she is crusading for gun control. When asked why she is obsessed with supporting causes, Moe replied, ‘I’m not obsessed, I just get a bang out Ofte Stewardess BREFFNY ROUSE has flown in from Rome to attend the wedding. P.Y.G.T. Airlines had just presented Bref with her gold wings for the incredible feat of completing one-million air miles aboard the very Italian Airline Italia without ever being pinched. Some news has filtered down to us from the wedding. We hear that professional athlete LINDA PAUL is there and that she’s “‘tooting her own horn” after her spectacular performance during the premiere match of the new, all-encompassing sport created for athletes who are well-rounded like Linda. Linda played guard, wing, and second base simultaneously as she swept to a 12-love victory over soccer and track star KERRY SHORT. Kerry’s only point was disallowed by referee NANCY HOFFMAN who stated that, while at- tempting to hurdle the goal, Kerry came up just a little bit short. Half-time entertainment for the game was provided by Big Len’s Pep Band featuring LENNY LEIGHTON on trombone. Spectator BRENDA PATALLIOT was moved to tears by the band’s touching rendition of ‘“‘Hymn Tune” ... in Bb and it goes like this... In the business world, the Inky, Acky, Sticky, Tacky, Souza and Sons printing firm is thriving under the direction of business managers, JANE ACKERMAN and ROSE SOUZA, and public relations director, CINDY TACKETT. As Cindy is proving at the wedding, she does relate quite well publically. Social worker, LYNDA ANDERSON, is at the wedding, taking a break from a case which she describes as her toughest yet. Lynda IS trying to rehabilitate RICHARD ALLARD, the dippy weather man who, two years ago, tried to use his weather machine to gain control of the world. Richard now resides at Medfield State Hospital where, according to attendants SUE BIAGIOTTI and KAREN ROONEY, he passes his days mumbling about naked Barbies and playing on the piano the Italian version of “The Sting’. Our on-the-scene reporter has been speaking with computer scientists JANYCE BICKNELL, CINDY BOOTH and DEBBIE SEAGER. When asked if computers would someday control man, they commented, “Who wants man controlled?” Advertising agency owner, TIM SMITH, will be at the reception. Tim is the proud creator of a sensational publicity gimmick for LIZ CAMPELL’S new invention, the floating sports car. Tim plans to have models, MAUREEN LEARY and LYDIA MAY, drive one of Liz’s cars in a race with a speed boat across a big bowl of beef stew. When they win the race, the girls will chant, ““We owe it all to Campbell’s Souped Coupes.” As for whether or not the models will go along with the stunt, Lydia may, but Maureen is leary. DEBBIE BOND and MARGE DI CALOGERO, co-owners of radio station WGFI, have fired newscaster, DAN COFFEY, for revealing the company graft scandal, over the air. The ladies fired Coffey because he spilled the beans. Accomplished author LARRY RUTH is at the wedding. As everybody knows, Larry just won the Pulitzer Prize for his sensational short stories. TOM COLLINS is tending the bar at the reception after the failure of his Alcoholics Anonymous group. It seems that merely the mention of the name, Tom Collins, was enough to drive his clients back to drink. Also in attendance are fashion designers, DODIE MOSHER and JANE BERGEN, who have upset the fashion world with their latest design in men’s clothing. When Jane suggested a “‘soft line” for the summer, Dodie thought she said, “‘soft lined.’ And that’s how they created the revolutionary, mink-lined B.V.D.’s. These same ladies have designed Mr. Williams’ trousseau, so it should be an interesting honeymoon. Well our crew in Lenox is ready now, so I’ll turn you over to our on-the-spot reporter, Breffney Rouse, who will continue today’s coverage of the Big Event. Breffny ... SK RIOR IO OIC OO IO OO I I a Ca a a aC ake ak ake akc ic ok ok ok ic oie oi 2k 2k 2k 2 2k 2k 2k 2 2K Thank-you Wendy. Good afternoon everyone. This is Breffney Rouse, coming to you live from the Eastover Country Club where Mr. Williams’ wedding reception is now in full swing. It seems as though the entire Class of ’77 is here today. I just saw LORI GILLIS, LAUREN HANSEN and LAUREN ANDERSON, the three beautiful cheerleaders who never got away from it all. The trio can currently be seen starring in Hugh Heffner’s new film, “The Jocks Talk.” Over by the buffet table, I was talking to culinary experts BRIAN FORSYTHE and JIM NEVILLE about the last State banquet they catered at the White House. It appears that the Shah of Iran was displeased sit ths menu. Instead of serving his favorite dessert, ‘Essence of Arabia’, they served ““Baked Alaskan ipeline.”” Race car driver KAREN SHIRE is here, but she’s still rather depressed about last week’s Indianapolis 500 which she was winning until her car spun out of control with one lap to go. The car trouble occurred when mechanic WADE CABANA’S wristwatch fell inside the left rear tire during the final pit stop, and threw the car off balance. Cabana’s comment about the mishap was, “At least my Timex still works.” There’s Doctor PATRICK KILMARTIN surrounded by a group of beautiful women. Nurses LESLEY BUCHANAN and TAMI SIMS credit Dr. Kilmartin’s overwhelming success to his great bedside manner. I was speaking earlier today with Officer SUE KERWIN about her career as a police person. According to Officer Kerwin, her most daring arrest occurred when she discovered LIZ MCCANN, EVIE Ne EL RIDGE and SUE PARKER, escapees from the MHS prison, having blueberry muffins at Dale’s estaurant, comes BOO LYONS and does she look terrific! I hear that she’s lost a lot of weight since being fired Penis ia as executive secretary to THEODORE HARCOVITZ, owner of Ted’s Tasty Treats. Ted claims that Boo, the junk food junkie, was eating up the profits and that he finally fired her when she became wider than the desk he chased her around. ye I don’t believe it, folks! DEBBIE FISHER and PENNY JOHNSON just dove into the swimming pool completely clothed! Oh well, I guess they’re simply fishing for pennies! ; The comedy team of FERZOCO and ELOFSON has missed Mr. Williams’ wedding. We’ve heard rumors that they are being detained by the Millis police. It seems that the con artists have been burglarizing houses protected by Daveo Alarm Systems. Says Alex, ‘My father taught me everything I know.” Dave, who recen- tly received a B.S. degree in B.S’ing from Princeton, foresees the team’s breakup in the near future. His com- ment was, “See ya when you get out in 50 years, Al.” Here is CARLEEN DELAPORTA, the new owner of a chain of Chinese restaurants called ‘‘Poops’ Plat- ters”. Ive spoken with nuclear physicist BETHANY BRADLEY who appears to be relatively calm considering that she now is under investigation by the C.I.A. for being a Soviet spy. When I mentioned these allegations to Beth, she exclaimed, “(Soviet garble)!” translated this means, “I know nothing of the Soviets or their government!” I’m now walking past BOB HOLMES, BOB KONEY and BOB MARAGGIO and it seems that they’re still just Bob, Bob, Bobbing along. It seems that love is inspiring love here today. Two members of the Class of 77 alumni have announced their recent engagements. The first alumnus, TERRY O’REILLY is engaged to Bruins’ hockey player Terry O'Reilly. When I asked Terry if she would keep her maiden name (female activist that she is) she replied, “No, I'm ready for a change.” The other “77 graduate to take the plunge is M.H.S.’s own JIMMY CARTER, who proposed to Amy, that infamous daughter of President Jimmy Carter. When I asked Amy how she felt about marrying a man with the same name as her father, she responded, ‘““Would a peanut by any other name smell as sweet?” Olympic gold medalists, MARIA MINICUCCI and KATHY BRYANT, are reportedly tied up today at (believe it or not) a beauty salon. The girls just signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Alberto Balsam Shampoo Company, and famous hair stylist. WENDY GEHLING (who brought back the Shirley Temple look), is busy trying to give both of them that “Farrah look’. MINI 2??? I just noticed MARK MCBRIDE and JIM REARDON. The pair recently opened an art studio across the street from the Belly Bunch Dance Club which is run by JANINE COUSENS, MARY CLARK and GWEN GREMILLION. This location could hurt the artists. Their first customer, GEORGE PENNINI, was seen gazing wistfully at the dance club exclaiming, ““Now that’s art!”’ I just spoke with JANE INGRAHAM, the first female graduate of the Naval Academy and asked her why she was planning to leave her Navy career. Apparently, Jane feels that it’s “high tide” she gets out of there. Switchboard operators SIOBHAN FAY and NANCY SZABLINSKL are here today and they’re wearing the medals of valor which they recently received by monitoring calls and uncovering an illegal bookie ring. When asked how they did it, they said, “Long distance is the next best thing to being there.”’ Over by the pool is Miss U.S.A., CINDY SCOTT. According to Master of Ceremonies PAUL DANIS, Cindy won the contest when she was asked, ‘“What do you think of the women’s movement?” Cindy replied, “Which woman moved?” Speaking of pools, ELAINE CARTER, head life guard at Glen Ellen Country Club, recently hired five new life guards, all male. Elaine’s justification for this obvious sexism is that men give better mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Among the absent is C.I.A. agent, PAUL MCGILLEN, who recently uncovered an illegal travel agency run by ALBERT STIVALETTA. The agency was sponsoring a “Booze Cruise’’ every Monday from the M.HLS. parking lot. When interviewed, Agent McGillen commented, “I knew something was fishy when customers STEVE CURLEY, GARY CIASULLO and CHRIS SLUICER reported late for work singing “The Italian Anthem.” ae by the bar, animal trainer NANCY BIS is struggling to get professional golfer SCOTT ROSE under control. All day long, livid mothers LISA TOBIN, LINDA REVELL, and CLARE CASSIDY have been berating Little League team manager PAUL LA CROIX for giving their daughters such lousy field positions. The girls have been playing deep outfield, very deep, way out, beyond the fence, down the street, around the corner ‘There's NANCY ANGEL who is now employed by a local welcome wagon company called ‘“‘HALO In- corporated.” There are famous psychologists, KATHY HAMPTON and BARBARA ROCHE who have finally released their psychoanalysis of Henry Winkler alias “The Fonz’. The women claim that Winkler has a definite neurosis which explains why he continuously sticks up his thumb and insists that everybody ‘“‘sit on | is _ Julie Cassidy is here and she’s still yelling, “Go for it 77!” And it appears that the Class of 1977 went for it. This is Breffny Rouse, signing off from the big event of Mr. Williams’ wedding. Good night and God bless.

Welch Memorial PRlatic Fuela Yesterday's BRS” j aa) dearest moments are today’s dearest memories a t i ee: Valedictorian; Bethany Bradley n S Reverend clergy, members of the school commit- tee, Mr. Vellante, Mr. Brunelle, Mr . Arcudi, faculty, parents, relatives, friends and especially the Class of 1977. Thomas Henry Huxley once stated: Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned, and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly I think that doing what should be done, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not, is a very difficult lesson to master; however, here at Millis we have made a start toward attaining this goal of education. When we first attended school, we were children. We were not expected to assume respon- sibilities. Now we are adults. We have more privileges than we had as children, but we also now have more responsibilities. Enthusiasm is the most prominent quality of this class; therefore, I am sure that we can handle all responsibilities. In future years, this enthusiasm which characterizes us will lead to success in life. I know that some class members will succeed through their brainpower; others will succeed through their wit and persuasiveness. Enthusiasm will carry us intrepidly into the future, We know that the future will challenge us. In this century, we have already passed from an agricultural mode of life, through an industrial age and into the computer age. No one knows exactly what will come next. However, by utilizing what we have learned, we will help to shape the future by remembering to do what we should do, when we should do it, whether we like it or not. Salutatorian; Maria Cudo Reverend Clergy, Members of the School Committee, Mr. Vellante, Mr. Brunelle, Mr. Arcudi and Faculty. To you, we extend our deepest appreciation. To parents, we extend our love. To my friends and comrades in knowledge, I extend wishes of happiness and success. To all who have gathered here tonight, I bid you welcome. Tonight, we end a chapter of our lives and we begin a new one. As children we dwelled in the safety of ignorance. We lived in a world of consistency. Now we have completed that stage, and the curtain of adulthood is raised. Adulthood does not confer wisdom. It does not give us license to neglect our family, our friends, or any other human being. The flowers of friendship cultivated should not be neglected like weeds. The love our parents have shown, should not be mistaken for selfishness. The masters, who have led us from the desert of ignorance to the garden of knowledge, should not be silently thanked. From our friends we have received an education not available in books. From our scholarly masters, we have learned the virtuous qualities of patience and understanding. From our beloved parents, we have discovered what virtue there is in unselfishness and sacrifice. As we commence our journey into adulthood, the stage of reality confronts us. The reality of a world infected with the wounds of injustice and the scars of prejudice. However, let us not commence our journey with feelings of fear and resigna- tion. Whatever the future may conceal, let us not be buried in the dark pit of apathy. If the world is diseased, we must learn to control its plague. If the country lacks leadership, we must learn to take com-_ mand. For as Taylor Caldwell stated, “‘you are a pillar of iron and God has indicated that a just man is such among nations. Long after the polished marble has crumbled, the iron of Justice remains and upholds the roof over man”. My fellow scholars, let it be our duty to ease the suffering of our fellow human beings. Let us establish ourselves frimly with the strength of iron, for we are the pillars of the future. Let us go forth blind to prejudice and mute to our selfish desires. Let it be our goal to broaden our knowledge that we can see things as they really are. Knowledge is the tool that will destroy the formidable wall of prejudice and the barrier of misconception. Let our departure from the past leave us with memories of friendships won, of joys and laughters shared, of sorrows over- come, of loves won and loves lost. Finally, let us leave with love and respect for all whom we leave behind. Boldly, let us now commence our journey and set sail on the ocean of experience, ES Bausch and Lomb Honorary Award Richard Pixley Memorial Award Havard Book Award French Award Latin Award Spanish Award English Award Mathematics Award Music Award Art Award = Home Economics Award Industrial Arts Award = Student Council Award Class Historian Award Danforth Awards Valedictorian Award United States History Award F Mary K.
