Well, Peter, what can 1 do for you today? School bells sounded, and we, the class of 1963, re- turned for our final year at Melrose High School. The red- brick building facing the pond, the spacious wing still almost new, and the green football field Coach Hoague takes such pride in appeared very much as we had left them; but it was within the school that time ' s changing hand had been at work. As we moved from class to class in corridors almost as congested as downtown traffic at rush hour, and smiled to ourselves at the bewilderment of the freshmen, we noticed that the freshmen were not the only new faces nor the only victims of first-day confusion. New teachers on every floor were doing their best to handle their students’ problems and their own as well. If we had stopped to think, we might have realized that Melrose High School had twenty-four more teachers than it had had when we were lowly freshmen. We did appreciate, though, having such a wide range of courses from which to choose and not having crowded classrooms. Remember, Ann, double spacing! Are you sure that’s a shortcut, Doc? Don’t forget the popular vote of the Prohibition Party in 1904! Within a few days after school had re-opened, most of us found time to drop in on the guidance office — perhaps to adjust a confused schedule, but more likely only to say hello. Mr. McGrath and our other friends were still there to greet us, but, oh, all the new people! Our problems were solved more quickly with the help of that big staff, but we missed Mr. Robinson. Apparently the size of our school ( the freshman class alone numbered 500! ) had demanded an assistant to the principal, and Mr. Robinson had been chosen for this job. Although we missed his guidance, we were glad that Mr. Dixon finally had a much-needed assist- ant in his time-exacting duties. 8
