8 gggg REFLECTIONS OF DEDHAM HICiHgSCIilQOL V hhgg gg g the special admiration of the faculty for her teaching of the Red Cross First Aid course, has a fond desire to see all her pupils receive their Red Cross certificates. Miss Madeline Clough, teaching Latin to all classes, spends her summers at home in Kennebunkport, Maine, where this summer she wishes to be allowed to do any defense work required. To Miss Lucy Clough this book is dedicated. Miss Catherine E. Castle, who taught us English but who now teaches fresh- men their Latin, has become an Air Raid Warden and the year book adviser all in one year. Miss Joan Tobin has been for many years our gym teacher. With much patience she awaits the attainment of her ambition to see D. H. S. girls the best poised in the world, with voices ever soft. gentle and low. Miss Mary Weeks teaches European history to freshmen and sopho- mores. This summer she plans to volunteer at the Report Center in Boston where she'll do her part for defense. Miss Florence E. Murdock, junior and senior English, will turn toward the soil come summer, but her victory garden will be of the flower variety. Mrs. Veronica O. Hazen, successor to Mr. Smith, teaches U. S. history. Her ambition, to be a good mother, per- haps accounts for her deep interest in her pupils. Miss Doris Grant, teacher of sophomore Eng- lish, confesses her ambition is to do the best she can. Let's hope everything she does turns out as well as The Flying Gerardos. Miss Olga von Schantz, sophomore and junior English teach- er-in private, Mrs. DeSalvo-devotes all her time and attention to finishing the house by June. Miss Laura J. Mclntire, instructor in typing and geography, is another member of our faculty who views the rubber shortage with discomfort and blames the war for curtailing her traveling yens. Third Row: Mr. Frank Kerwin, successor to Mr. LeGuern, prepared for his teaching ca- reer at B. U., where he obtained the degrees of Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Commercial Science. Mr. Joseph H. Ryan made history this year with the arrival, during February vacation, of a seven-pound heiress named Judy. His hobbies are knitting and read- ing Points for Parents. Mr. Thomas F. O'Donnell hopes to read of the men teachers of this school who have joined the colors following the hero of Bataan into Nippon-or seeing his son's name prominently mentioned in football write-ups. Mr. William Dunne, a newcomer to the faculty and an ardent sports enthusiast, tells us he hopes to retire at the age of fifty-five and devote his remaining years to the improvement of his golf. Mr. James Riley, science and chem- istry instructor, although already holder of his Master's degree, is delving still further into the study of chemistry. Mr. Eliot G. Hall's ambition is to train students to regard teachers as human beings and not as storage plants for pious platitudes and funny sayings to be delivered whenever the occasion requires. Mr. Hamilton F. Allen has been so busy fostering the Debat- ing Club, going to jail with his civics classes, and coaching the new tennis team, that he hasn't had time to think up a suitable ambition. Mr. John W. Wallace teaches junior and senior book- keeping, and ofiice appliances to seniors. As his ambition is to have the National Clerical Abil- ity Testees come out IOOW this year-here's wishing him success. Mr. Orlando Scafati, tall, dark, and handsome basketball coach, is seriously considering enlisting in the Army as a briga- dier-general: that is, if there ever happens to be a shortage of brigadier-generals. Mr. Thomas Yonker formerly had Hstic aspirations, that is, until his twins arrived about nine years ago and now, as you might imagine, devoting himself ntirely to his three children and to manag- ing the A. A. Mr. Nicholas DeSalvo, French teacher and hockey coach, after the completion of his new home. plans to start priming his team for a championship year. Mr. Fred Clark has complete charge of the art department in D. H. S. He has a secret ambition to raise a victory garden. The class owes him much for serving so generously as chairman of their advisers this year. Not included in the picture: Miss Harriette Hunting, who has taught cooking for fourteen years in D. H. S., still hopes some day to produce an excellent cook. Miss Mary E. Sulli- van, sewing teacher, attended the Boston School of Domestic Science and Simmons College. She has taught many of our girls the art of making their own wardrobes. Mr. Robert Gibb, direc- tor of the orchestra and band, hopes the concert will come when Koussevitski will keep his brass down, but we're happy that Mr. Gibb doesn't follow this principle in his own arrangement.
