How should the possessive be shown on the word "Mills" in the following sentences?
1) We expect that students will meet German Mills standards for behaviour. ?Mills's or Mills'

2) German Mills students are attending the meet tomorrow. In this case does Mills need anything else?

Just adding ' is enough for word ending with a ' s ' to show possissiveness.
