Fine Arts Music Department Department Willard W. Robinson Paul F. Squatrito Warren D. Wood Woodrow Phelan We have reflected our admiration for pattern and form in our work in the fine arts department: art, music and phy- sical education. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Squatrito introduced us to other masters — The Old Masters. Inspired, we laboriously rummaged through paints, chalk, copper, tin-cans, string, and paper frantically trying to create our own masterpieces. We expressed ourselves through music, guided by Mr. Wood and Mr. Phelan. The spirited blare of the Band at half-time during football seasons, the more sedate rhythms of the Orchestra, and the Glee Club’s annual Christmas Ves- pers represented our efforts to reflect our spirits via music. Physical Education Department Josephine M. Chase Sally A. Waite Paul M. Bean Maura Ann Flanagan Joseph Hoague Under the able leadership of other masters, such as Miss Chase and Doc” Clark, we have developed our bodies amid the groans of X.B.X. Exercises, the moans of running the track, the anguish of field hockey, and the perils of foot- ball. If within the halls of M.H.S. there walked a potential Maris, Picasso, or Bernstein, in the class of 1965, the above staffs can take the credit of introducing him to the field which best reflected his ability.

Metford Recognizing that a full educational program must pre- pare students for a variety of vocations, Melrose High School offers a wide selection of courses in the practical arts field. 7 ' his year a new and exciting concept in merchandising education has been added — Distributive Education. This course combines on-the-job training in the afternoons, made possible by the co-operation of local merchants, with class- room instruction in the mornings. Our Business Course prepares students for clerical jobs immediately after gradua- tion, while the Practical Arts Course trains those students with industrial and mechanical interests for occupations after graduation.
