Mr. Wallace devotes his time in the summer to his hobby, which is golf, to studying, and to gardening. Miss Mary Weeks, to whom this yearbook is dedicated, received her AB. degree from Smith College and her lCd.M. from Harvard. Her chief activities in Dedham High are teaching history to freshmen and sophomores and being the power behind the throne in running the class of '35, Past summers have been devoted to short trips through New England and Canada, but this summer she plans to turn domestic and spend her time surrounded by the comforts of home. Books and jig-saw puzzles are included among the comforts of home for Miss Weeks, and attending moving pictures and the theatre will be her favorite extra-domestic activity. Her ambition, to increase her library with good editions, is in the process of realization. Our freshmen delve into the mysteries of science under the guidance of Miss Helen Woodside, a graduate of Simmons College, who has been with us for the past live years. The record of Miss Woodsidels achievements in Dedham High is found in her many creditable pupils. Miss Woodside enjoys herself immensely in the summertime, taking auto trips, going Ubeachingf' playing golf, and reading. Mr. Thomas Yonker, a graduate of Villanova, teaches history to our freshmen. In odd moments he waxes enthusiastic about golf and bridge, and devotes the summer to nothing in particular, but a great deal in general. Mr. Yonker considers enlightened students the best record of his achievement, and admits that a few have done fairly well by him. 19 ge- 15 555555555555 1935 555555555555

Need we add that his hobbies are athletics, particularly golf-and he spends his odd moments explaining the whys of algebra to a certain freshman at Dedham High. Mr. William M. Polishook, who is also a Bostonian, faced the teaching world with a B.S. degree from Salem Teachers College-and later earned his M.I5d. degree at Harvard Graduate School of Education. This enthusiastic Boy Scout the has recently been elected to the office of Boy Scout District Commissionerl, has been at Dedham High for four years, where he teaches commercial geography and bookkeeping. His hobbies are photography in the darkened biology room, playing basketball on the teachers' tcreak-bonesl basketball team, coaching boys' baseball teams, the Boy Scouts, and thinking up names for Mirror reporters. His ambition is to become an Eagle scout tif that isn't flying too highj. Mr. joseph Ryan, who came here tive years ago, is a graduate of Dartmouth College, and, like Mr. Peltier, was t'tinished at Miss Gonchls School. Next to man- aging the Mirror, he considers his greatest achievement the fact that he persuaded Mrs. McGuinness to sell beef-stew at the lunch counter. Summertime usually finds him sittingg but to avoid having to join the great army of the unemployed, he takes an occasional trip here and there. Then he comes home and cries over his bank state- ment. During the winter Mr. Ryan amuses himself by playing bridge. Of Dedham and for Dedham is Miss Mary Sweeney, who was born here, educated in Dedham schools, and has taught commercial subjects here for a considerable length of time. Her college years were spent at Simmons, where she received her B.S. degree. In the summertime she travels as far as the Chevvie and the pennies will take her and one summer she reached St. Anne de Beaupres. Although it is not for publication, she is an enthusiastic knitter and she enjoys a good game of contract now and then. When we accosted Miss Sweeney she was in reminiscent mood, and recalled the good old days of four winters ago when one wall of 303 was missing during the reconstruc- tion of Dedham High, causing Miss Sweeney and her classes nearly to freeze even with their coats on and some pupils even to fetch their overshoes. Miss Mary E. Sullivan, the well known teacher of sewing in Dedham schools, is herself a graduate of Dedham High School and has attended the Boston School of Domestic Science and Simmons College. She modestly refuses to tell us anything further about herself, so we leave the rest to the reader's detective ability. Miss Olga Von Schantz, who joined us about three years ago, had previously spent four years here as a student, followed by four years at Radcliffe College. She teaches algebra and commercial subjects to freshmen, and she has used her business ability in commercializing her favorite occupation-she runs a yarn shop at the beach. Miss Von Schantz does not reveal her ambition to the reading public, and although she is not artistic, she does devote a great deal of her time to drawing her breath and her salary. For more than ten years Miss Joan Tobin, a graduate of Sargent, has taught the feminine -contingent of the D. H. S. student body the art of being athletic. She is not very talkative on the subject of her summer whereabouts but alert Mirror reporters have espied her at St. Anne de Beaupres and at Hyannis, Massachusetts. Miss Tobin doesn't go in for ambitions, but about hobbies she is enthusiastic, her present one being an intense interest in art. Mr. John Wallace, who teaches advanced bookkeeping and office appliances to juniors and seniors, is a graduate of Boston University College of Business Administra- tion and Harvard Graduate School of Education. He is one of our few teachers who have definite ambitions which they condescend to reveal for student consumption, and KEKEKEKEKEKE 1935 KEKEKEKEKEKE Page Ttueltie
