QQQQEQZQZ DEDHAM H-S-.QZQEQZQQQ THE FACULTY 07' HTHIE I'ownRs THAT Bn Among the very recent additions to our distinguished body of educators is Miss Ruth Baker, herself a graduate of Dedham High School, and also of Boston University. During her year of teaching English at Dedham High she has acquired an extensive knowledge of inhuman nature tare we complimented?l and has trained her sense of humor. Outside of school she likes to read, walk, and paddle, tastes which make her just the right person for her summer job, a counsellor in a Girl Scout camp. Mr. Howard Bottomley, the man who taught us when Columbus discovered America tand why it is naughty to loiter in the corridorsj is another credit to Boston University, from which institution he has both an A.B. and an AAI. degree. The last twelve years of his life have been devoted to teaching history here, and his in between moments are occupied by bridge and baseball. t'Topper amuses himself during the summer by thinking up new perplexing test questions for the next year, his ambition is to sell a thousand senior play tickets, and he plans to reward his own super-sales- manship by a trip to France on the profits. Miss Margaret Boynton, who received her AB. degree from Mt. Holyoke College and expects to acquire an A.M. degree from Boston University some day soon, has taught French to juniors and seniors at Dedham High School since she arrived here an unrevealed number of years ago. Although she insists that she is very unathletic, golf is among her two favorite occupations, knitting being the other. In the summer time she drives hither, thither, and yon in her Chevrolet, with her home in Pepperell as general headquarters. Between trips she entertains, plays golf, swims, and serves birch beer to friends who drop in unexpectedly. Miss Boynton knows how to make business a pleasure, for the pupils at least, as her enthusiasm and sense of humor make learning a painless process. Miss Catherine Castle, who has taught English here for two years, represents Radcliffe College. The most difficult task of the daily routine, she finds, is to navigate safely from the lunch counter to the teachers' table, the hazards of this trip being a sea of hungry students rushing in the opposite direction. So far she has met with no real mishaps. Knitting, reading, and beach parties occupy her lighter moments, and every summer she tries to learn to be thorough in housework. You are ambitious, Miss Castle. Miss Lucy Clough, who is famous for having the best disposition in Dedham High, has taught here for eleven years. Her strong mathematical bias is shown by her three subjects, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Kennebunkport, Maine, is the place where Miss Clough spends the summer in gardening and in having a good time. She is as yet unintluenced by the golfing spirit which pervades our faculty, but indulges in extensive reading. Also from Kennebunkport, Maine, comes Miss Madeline Clough, without an ambition, but with an A,B. degree from Colby College. She has managed to find time in the last few years to attend Radcliffe, Bates, the University of Vermont, and Boston University, from which last mentioned college she obtained her M.Ed. degree. She is completing her eighth year at Dedham High, where she teaches Latin to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Her interests, which are many and varied, include knitting, devising subtle tests, and avoiding Mirror reporters in any guise. KEKEKEEEKEKE 1335 ZEEEKEKEKEKE Page Eight
