SUPERINTENDENT Mr. Vahan J. Khachadoorian To the Graduates of 1986: Man has accomplished much since he first appeared on earth. He has met the challenge of war many times. He has tasted the sweetness of victory and the bitter disappointment of defeat. Although man has met the challenge of war. he has yet to meet the challenge of peace successfully. This is just one of the many opportunities that has been left to your generation. This is part of the best work that has not yet been done. Another challenge faces your generation. The challenge of space. What will man do with his knowledge of space? Will he build space weapons with which to conquer or enslave other men? Will he build orbiting space stations with bombs on them, which could destroy an entire civilization? Or. will man take his knowledge and use it to develop things to benefit mankind? Will he look for new minerals and elements which might be used in the treatment of dis- ease? Will he search for new sources of energy? Only the years ahead will tell how mankind is meeting the challenge of the space age. What do the years ahead hold for each of you? For one thing, they hold excitement. The excitement of searching for truth and of looking for answers to our many questions. They hold satisfaction that will come when you know that you have completed a task, and that it was well done. They hold the thrill of competition and the promise of inner growth and strength as you learn to meet disappointment as well as success. It is my hope, that your education at Millis High School will help you to grasp opportu- nities with a firm hold. It is my hope that the world will be better, in some small way. because you were in it. I wish for each of you. happiness, security and peace in The Years Ahead. Sincerely yours. Vahan J. Khachadoorian Mrs. D. Beach, Mrs. B. Oschman. Mrs. D. Saccoman SCHOOL COMMITTEE Back Row (l-r): P. McMahon. R. Healy. C. Devlin. Front Row (l-r): V. Khachadoorian. E. Neville. W. Alessi. 4

 PRINCIPAL To the Class of 1986: Congratulations to each of you on having successfully completed this phase of your educational pursuits. You have been a truly unique class each with your own as well as collective personality. Each of you has made your impression be it academic, athletic, public or private: you have left an indelible mark upon this school. As a class, you have probably done more to create a feeling of togetherness than any class I can remember. You have worked closely with your parents, the community, your teachers, and the administration to exemplify the respectable qualities that are not generally identified with the perception of teenagers on the whole. I can honestly say that it has been a pleasure to work with you and that you have left me with many pleasant memories of the way adolescents will conduct themselves given the opportunity and expectations. My wishes go with you in the hopes that your future aspirations are attained and your successes bring satisfaction not only to you but also to those who surround you. Sincerely. Paul A. Brunelle Mr. Paul A. Brunelle Mrs. Shirley Ronca. Mrs. Mary Kavanaugh m i Mrs. Debbie Landers 5
