These Helpful Special Directors A NEW ADDITION to our faculty this year is Mr. Chester Santilli, our guidance counselor from Beebe Junior High School, who helped give the Boston University Battery Tests to the Junior and Senior students of the school. Never before have these tests been given to the Juniors but this year it was felt that since these tests show somewhat the type of field one should enter upon graduation that the juniors are old enough to take it too, for many of them send their applications to colleges in their junior year. Mr. Santilli holds conferences with the Juniors to explain and give advice on the results of the tests. CHESTER W. SANTILLI THE BIG THREE assistants in the main office are Mr. Matthews’ strawberry blonde secretary, Miss Mabel McQues- ton, warmhearted Mrs. Helen Hills and congenial Miss Eunice Young. These are the office secretaries who play such an im¬ portant part in the running of Malden High School. Their work really makes the wheels go round. Miss McQueston not only sets up miles of daily bulletins during the year, but she also helps Mr. Matthews send out these important grades and recommendations to numerous colleges. The custodian of the students’ scholastic files, Mrs. Helen Hills also issues the M.T.A. bus ticket applications. Miss Eunice Young is forever paging us for forgotten lunches, and announcing program changes and belated assignments on the P.A. system. Never have we entered the office without being greeted by a friendly smile and a cheery Hello.” TO THE RIGHT WE SEE THE ASSISTANTS to the busiest people in the school, and we immediately recognize them as our diligent faculty assistants.

with Our Able Advisers Guide Us CLARKE R. BROOKES —Mr. Brookes, the able Sophomore Class Master, is in charge of the disciplinary problems of all the boys in the sopho¬ more class. If one were to ask to see his very com¬ plete calendar, he would understand how busy Mr. Brookes really is. As co-ordinator of all non-ath- letic activities in the high school, he lends a helping hand to nearly everyone at M.H.S. ROBERT M. PERRY — The boys are fortunate in having Mr. Perry as guidance counselor. He helps them make up their minds in regard to their future. Soft spoken Mr. Perry is the Senior Class Master and head of the science department. As master in charge of boys’ attendance he can be seen each morning admitting a line of boys who were absent and he also distributes the school supplies every five weeks. EDNA E. TURKINGTON — Being the Dean of Girls and also head of the history department keeps Miss Turkington very busy. Her aid has been most prominent in her unending efforts to assist the students of Malden High to choose their colleges and fill out applications. In addition, Miss Turkington gains great joy in being the adviser to Usona. F. CHAMPLIN WEBSTER — Mr. Webster, our genial Junior Class Master, serves our school in many ways. He is head of the Latin department and Faculty Manager of Athletics. Through his efforts, the teams are supplied with uniforms, schedules are arranged, and financial obligations are met. With many snow storms this year, he was kept extra busy supervising the tardiness in the high school. 109 REMODELED. Here is a picture of the outer office of the new advisers’ room. The three separate doors, not visible in the picture, are to the inner offices of Mr. Santilli, Miss Turk¬ ington, and Mr. Perry respectively. During the summer this structure, which used to be just one large room, was converted to three smaller divisions for the sake of privacy when confer¬ ring with the students and parents. 13
