.” This club has the same concept from the movie. In the movie, a couple of the students find out about DPS (Dead Poets Society) from their English teacher. At night, they sneaked out of the college and went into a little cave in the woods. There they would recite poems that they or others had written.

Millis plays its Thanksgiving rivalry game every year against the Medway Mustangs, who in recent years have dominated the rivalry. In 2009 the Mohawks went 5-6 for the second straight year, an improvement from an 0-11 campaign in 2007. The captains for the Mohawks in 2009 were Johnny Duffy(QB/MLB), Andrew Bonzey(WR/DB) and Cole Tagney(OL/DL). The Mohawks made a bold move this year by the joining of Hopedale, who does not have a football team. Millis had very little numbers at the beginning of the season and the joining of Hopedale players helped immensely. Johnny Duffy ended up being the co-MVP of the tri-valley league this year while the team had a pretty good year going 5-6. So far this year the Millis-Hopedale Mohawks have a record of 2-2.
