Welcome Back Millers This year the Millers kicked off Welcome Week with a bang! Not only did the spirited Washburnites welcome old and new students alike but also new principal, Mr. John Dzy-acky. The week started off with the traditional pep-fest, once the freshmen found the gym, the festivities began. Tom Dahl, student council president and Grady St. Dennis, Senior Class President, got the crowd psyched for the new year and the week ahead. Tuesday was the day Millers crawled out of bed and into the classroom, Grub Day. On Wednesday hats and glasses were sported by one and all. while the halls were filled with orange and blue on Thursday. Friday was Rent-A-Senior Day when freshmen had the opportunity to “rent a senior for a day. The lucky seniors were up bright and early to pick up their freshmen and take them out for a hearty breakfast at Perkins. The seniors were required to wear whatever their “master desired, to carry their master’s books to every class, as well as to carry out other demeaning tasks. The week ended with a football game against Edison at Washburn. The Millers were, however, defeated by the Tommies, but spirits were still up for the Welcome Week dance. The D.J. system, Spirit Unlimited, rocked the Millers to bring to a close an exuberant Welcome Week. This Page: Top: The class of '88 has pizzazz! Bottom.
