Couldn ' t we perhaps parallel our year ' s work with a production of a play; the teachers with the directors. the students with the actors, our activities and sports with special features, working toward graduation, our opening night. . .

GREEN In the production of a play as well as in any other job, there is often one person who has de¬ voted much more time than anyone else to its perfection. And so it i s with our play, the drama of the senior class of Weston High. With a splendid record of forty-seven years of teaching service, forty-two of which have been spent at Weston, Miss Green has been an active leader both to students and to faculty. A graduate of Boston University, where she received her Bachelor ' s degree, she also studied at Clark University, University of Connecticut, and Wellesley College. Before com¬ ing here she taught in Maine, Worcester, Plain- field and Gardner for a period of five years. In 1916 she began her busy career at Weston High School. Besides teaching German, English, Alge¬ bra, Geometry and Trigonometry, she was for awhile head of the English department. She is the present faculty advisor to the Senior Class and to the yearbook staff. The Math Club was organized under her leadership and she has been its advisor for the last seven years. The creative work of this club has attracted state and national attention and she has been in¬ vited to bring displays to national conventions. Miss Green has been active in the Merit Salary Study conducted by the New England School De¬ velopment Council and run by Harvard University. Last year she was given the Elizabeth Thompson Award for the most outstanding teacher of Mathe¬ matics by the Academy of Arts and Sciences. We, the Class of 1958, feel that someone who has worked so long and fruitfully should have a special gift. We dedicate our yearbook to you who de¬ serve so many more thanks than can be put on a page, Miss Helen B. Green. 3 What would we do without these busy gentlemen around the school? Dean Proctor spends the majority of his time carrying out his duties as Director of Athletics. Principal Mueller handles conduct problems plus his major duties, and still manages to speak to seniors. Before school Vice Principal Teittinen ' s office is besieged by students want¬ ing to see him about attendance problems. 7 faculty co ftlU te4 6cvieC otwi l uucC cufatcte LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Proctor; Mr. Mueller; Mr. Teittinen. Although Dr. Brackett ' s time consuming job as Super¬ intendent of Schools keeps him almost constantly en¬ gaged, he still manages to show his interest in the stu¬ dents by attending the foot¬ ball, basketball and field hockey games, and innumer¬ able other school events. This interest is deeply appre¬ ciated by all the students. Dr. Anthony Brackett Miss Frances Howell is a familiar face to many in the school who knew her as a student. Her cheerful smile adds to the pleasant atmos¬ phere of the office. Mrs. Helene Min¬ sky, always so help¬ ful, finds that seniors and college applica¬ tions involve much work on her part along with all her other secretarial du¬ ties. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Brooks; Mr. Bayles; Mr. Burns. The School Board spends many hours in Dr. Brackett ' s office where they meet to solve the problems concerning the school. The P.T.A. supports the deci¬ sions made by the school board, and carries out a pro¬ gram of meetings during the year. P.T.A. officers are: Pres. Mr. Harnish; V. Pres. Mr. Bartel; Sec. Mrs. Green- lie, Mrs. Shaw,- Treas. Mrs. Petri. LEFT TO RIGHT: Dr. Brackett; Mrs. Weaver; Mrs. Craw¬ ford. The Guidance Department becomes tremendously busy during the first weeks of September counseling the new students and talking over program changes. Mr. Medford and Miss Hunter expertly solve eighth grade difficulties. Mr. Carini counsels all of the freshmen and sophomores and the junior boys, and Mr. Cummings advises junior girls and all of the seniors on their college problems. Aptitude testing programs are arranged by this department. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Carini; Miss Hunter; Mr. Med¬ ford; Mr. Cummings. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The eighth grade classes taught by Miss McDonough and Mrs. Lenrow divide their time between studying litera¬ ture such as “Snowbound and “Evangeline and working on grammar and spelling. They also do written work in class. In Mr. Mitchell ' s and Mrs. Helmreich ' s classes, the pupils work on increasing their vocabularies, reading the assigned books, and find that they are writing compositions every weekend. Mrs. Callahan has small classes of remedial reading in which students increase their rate of reading. fr ztce tce to frioduce food LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Helmreich; Mrs. Lenrow; Mr. Mitchell; Miss McDonough; Miss Callahan. The students in Mr. Mitchell ' s senior English class rapidly take notes on Chaucer. The senior English students work extensively on literature and vo¬ cabulary although grammar and the essentials of writing are also dealt with. Mr. Mitchell ' s English class will be remembered by his students, who have appreciated his humor and understanding. THE LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The two languages offered in Weston are taken by many college-conscious students. Latin I, which is started in the freshman year, acquaints the students with basic vocabulary and verbs. The second year students become more familiar with Roman culture through the reading of Caesar with Miss Mastin ' s appreciated help. Latin III and IV are given in alternate years. The French classes are started in the sophomore year to avoid beginning both languages the same year. In two of the French I classes, Miss Heidi lays the foundations of basic French grammar. Mrs. Zam- progno ' s French II and III classes go on to read French works and students even find themselves speaking in French outside of class! 5 LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Zamprogno, French; Miss Mastin, Latin; Miss Heidi, French. Mr. Marsden, Prac. Phys., Science; Mr. Ham, Biology, Science; Mrs. Mulroy, Science; Mr. Sawyer, Physics, Chemistry. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Science Department is always busy trying to promote ideas and interest in the Science fair which is successfully put on each spring. Mrs. MULROY handles four eighth grade Science classes, and Mr. HAM teaches a fifth Science class plus the study of the living matter making up our ' environment in Bi¬ ology class. There are two Physics courses offered. General Physics taught by Mr. MARSDEN, and Col¬ lege Physics, a suggested course for those going on to technical schools, taught by Mr. SAWYER. Four new teachers were added to the So¬ cial Studies department this year. Miss HEIDI teaches a course selecting important events in World History, Mr. ST. JOHN ' S classes cover U.S. History, the Constitution, and current events, Mrs. LENROW ' S classes work with maps and charts of the geography of countries, and Mrs. HELMREICH also teaches the foundations of U.S. History. Miss McDONOUGH continues her teaching on South America and other neighboring countries. Both Miss HUNTER and Mr. MEDFORD have the eighth grade Human Relation classes where social problems are dis¬ cussed. By the time one graduates from Weston, he has a firm understanding of the Social Studies. SPEECH Miss Hunter, Hum. Rel., S. Studies; Miss Heidi, W. History; Mr. -St. John, W. Geog., M. Prob., U.S. History; Miss McDonough, S. Studies; Mrs. Lenrow, Geog., S. Studies,- Mr. Medford, Hum. Rel.; Mrs. Helmreich, U.S. History. Speech is quickly becoming an im¬ portant part of the school curriculum. Mr. ZORN, who is known as the Director of Speech, plans a new program making Speech compulsory for all Juniors. At present he also teaches some English classes and a new English workshop class where grammar problems are worked on extensively. In the Speech Arts class, the pupils learn the technique of public speaking and correct enunciation. During the senior Modern Problems class we find ourselves discussing such subjects as Communism, civil rights, crime, eco¬ nomics and the current news articles of a contro¬ versial nature. Here Mr. CUMMINGS and Marcel Megal speak of France. COMMERCIAL COURSE The Commercial course pre¬ pares a student for a job im¬ mediately after graduation. In the ninth grade a half year of personal typing is given to ac¬ quaint all students with-the type¬ writer and its uses. The girls trained by Mrs. HOYLE turn out to be excellent typists. INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT To the boys not taking a complete college course the shop offers much. There are numerous tools with which the boys may work. Mr. HALE, a newcomer to Weston, includes metals and automo¬ tives in his course; Mr. MARSDEN, also a newcomer, is seen working with the boys on electrical devices and models,- and Mr. TEITTINEN teaches both girls and boys the fundamentals of technical drawing right up to specialized architectual drawing. As one can see by the friendly smiles, the shop always has a pleasant atmosphere, where pupils can learn tech¬ nical and industrial skills. Mr. Marsden, Basic Elec.; Mr. Teittinen, M.D.; Mr. Hale, I. Arts. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mr. Kellett, Algebra, Plane Geom.; Miss Green, Solid and Anal. Geom., Trig, and Math. Anal., Algebra; Mrs. Ellsworth, Algebra, Arith.; Mr. Carini, Basic Math. Basic Mathematics is very important to every student, but to those going on to college, math becomes even more important. Mrs. ELLSWORTH h as the job of first acquainting the students with freshman Algebra and the numerous equations one meets. During the sophomore year Plane Geom. is taught by Mr. KELLETT who familiarizes the students with the many triangles and squares. After having this background math, one takes Algebra II in the junior year, and then Miss GREEN puts on the finishing touches of the math courses during Trigonometry, and Solid and Analytical Ge¬ ometry classes. Mr. CARINI teaches the re¬ fresher Basic Math class for seniors. LIBRARIAN Everyone concentrates dur¬ ing Trig, class. Seniors work on theory and trans¬ formation of equations, calculus, vector analysis and review all previous work. The Solid and Anal. Geometry class, which pre¬ pares students for scien¬ tific schools, discusses problems in detail. HOME ECONOMICS Miss COBB helps the seventh grade plunge right into cooking lessons and health habits. The next year they find themselves learning to sew. The seniors are able to take Education for Family Life where they discuss home problems. Mrs. HYNSON, our librarian, always makes sure that the books are in good order. She is especially helpful to the juniors when preparing career books with the use of the many vocational pamphlets that are found in the library, and is also a great help to the seniors during Sears essay time. For seventh and eighth grade students Art is a required subject, but it becomes an elective for high school students. Miss Oil iff, with her many original ideas makes Art a challenging subject for creative students. The juniors always welcome her ideas for prom decorations. Mr. Corley, Director of Music Mr. Corley ' s crowded music schedule keeps him running from one school to an¬ other. The results, which are apparent at the seasonal concerts, reveal the enthusiasm with which he works. Many members of the band, orchestra, and choir participate in all three groups, thus making the membership of each group larger than one would expect in a school the size of Weston. Every year an increasing number of students display their musical in¬ terests by joining one of the groups. During Miss Allen ' s music classes the pupils learn not only to sing in harmony but also to listen to the recordings of folk songs and classical music which exemplify and fa¬ miliarize them with all types of music. Mr. Harris, Physical Ed.; Miss Butera, Physical Ed. Senior Art students may pursue a particular field of self-interest in which to complete individual art projects. Much of the work during the senior year is done individually or in helping other school organizations by drawing posters. The two seniors above are comparing ideas for some yearbook sketches. Miss Allen, Music Gym classes are attended with much eagerness by Weston pupils. This may be due in part to the relaxation from mental strain, but chiefly to Mr. Harris and Miss Butera, who conduct their classes to include opportunities for many individual abilities. Here both coaches look at some of the awards won by pro¬ ficient Weston teams. 8 Mr. Cronin, Driver Education. The Driver Education course has been deeply appreciated and welcomed by all. Many students have already received their licenses under the able direction of Mr, Cronin. We some¬ times wonder how he can endure the strain and frustrations of the beginning drivers. The seventh grade building is sepa¬ rate from the high school. Therefore we seldom see our former teachers, except at outside events or at times when they are accompanying a group of students to the cooking and shop classes which are held at the high school. Under the competent administrative work of Mr. DeRusha, whom we remem¬ ber when thinking of the forest prime¬ val, the seventh grade teachers prepare the students for their high school careers. Miss Marble gives early preparations for learning to write papers through science notebooks, and Mrs. Howe ' s English classes and grammar lessons are put to immediate use. Miss Stiles and Mrs. Foley assign the usual amount of home¬ work which seventh grade students must become accustomed to, whether it be reading in geography books or solving arithmetic problems. The seventh graders are also fortunate in having Mr. Ander¬ son and Mr. Harvey both interns from Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Jacques, Mrs. Reilly. NOT SHOWN: Mrs. Burke. We are grateful that there are such efficient women in the cafeteria. Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Jacques, Mrs. Reilly, and Mrs. Burke manage to keep to the lunch lines passing along smoothly so that no one has to hurry his meal as the result of being last in line.

These three gentlemen, Mr. Merrill, Mr. Macleod, end Mr. Clarke, who keep the school to shiny and clean, are always prepc ed with a smile and a friendly hello for everyone. Many thanks are due them for their help, especially in preparations for school dances.

He was in the top half of his class, maintaining an honor roll record and having the distinction of winning the Sears essay contest in both his junior and senior years. Jock was known to be an intelligent, hard-working and compatible person. After leaving Weston, Jock went to Bowdoin Col¬ lege where he majored in music. He graduated from Bowdoin four years later and began a period of three years ' service with the United States Army. As part of Jock ' s duty he was sent to a special Army language school in Monterey, California. It was here that Jock learned to speak Russian and became interested in a field which was to become his career. His third year in the Army was spent in Austria where he utilized the special language training he had received. After his discharge, Jock went to Harvard College for two years and received his Master ' s Degree in Soviet Research. From this study he became a specialist in understanding European trouble areas. Jock then went to Washington, D.C., where he has been for o year doing government economic research. Today at the age of twenty-seven, only eleven years after graduating from Weston High School, John e%fi ue teed t6evi football team. After school each day Chief Viles would report to the town fire department of which he had be¬ come a member at the age of sixteen. In 1912 the Chief graduated from Weston High. He then attended North¬ eastern University on the co-op plan studying electrical engineering. Throughout his college life he remained a member of the fire department, and while working on the co-op plan, he was employed by the Edison Com¬ pany. He graduated from Northeastern in 1917. The Chief then served his time in the Army with the 14th Engineers. In 1919 he was discharged and worked as an automobile mechanic until 1920, when the sole police officer of Weston resigned. Thus, from 1921 until 1923 the Chief was a motorcycle officer and the only person of the police department. As the town and police force grew, he progressed to sergeant in 1923, and then to Chief of police in 1927, and he has re¬ mained Chief for thirty years now. There have been Viles ' in the Weston Schools as far back as 1826, when Chief Viles ' grandfather was a student. The Chief ' s sons, Jay and Henry, are the fourth generation of the Viles family to attend Weston Schools. Chief J. Sumner Viles has been an alumnus of Weston High for forty-six years and has seen many changes in the town and schools. He has done a job which many men could not have handled in the growing town of Weston of which the Viles ' are truly a part. J. SUMNER VILES-CLASS OF 1912 When J. Sumner Viles started his first year in Weston, he attended the Old North School which was formerly located on North Avenue. His first fve years of school were spent in a single classroom with one instructor doing the teaching of all fve grades. Chief Viles then attended high school classes in the building which is presently used for the seventh grade. During high school the Chief played baseball for three years and in his senior year, he joined the newly organized Loud is settled in his permanent career, living and keep¬ ing bachelor quarters with three other men in Washing¬ ton, D.C. Although the demands of his career keep him busy, John still fnds time to pursue his musical interests and is a member of a string quartet in which he plays the violin. As seniors we would like to wish Jock further success and contentment in his chosen career. We hope that when we are alumni, we also may do our share in helping our country and our communities. Though young people may have no idea of their future, their individual abili¬ ties and interests must be developed and expanded. This will enable them in later years to make a wise choice of career. Seventh graders work energetically on their magazine drive and attend special seventh grade assemblies. Excellent teachers make the introduction to junior high a pleasant experience. Occasional dances form a beginning for social life and our youngest members are enthusi¬ astic supporters of the Weston football, basketball, and baseball games. ROW 1: T. French; R. Laughner; W.

Being in the same building as the regular high school, they share assemblies and pep rallies with upperclassmen. Eighth grad¬ ers raise money for the athletic fund by putting on a magazine drive. They elect their own class officers, take care of classroom displays, and spend time after school doing experiments, such as the testing of weather instruments. They put on their own dance which is the social event of the year for the junior high. ROW 1: J, Currier, N. Law, C. Johnson, N. Clark, P. Brown, D. DeNapoli, A. Molan, E. Rayner. ROW 2: A. King, M.

In some schools, the sophomore year is the first year of high school, but at Weston, students really get into the swing of high school life with a self-confident wisdom gained from last year ' s experience. So¬ cial life starts to pick up speed as sopho¬ mores attend the senior sociables, and the class itself puts on the Sophomore Football Dance to top off the football season. They have many chances to bring out individual talents in art, music, and sports, and the prospect of college begins to make an impression. ROW 1: C. Schul mann; J. Neilson; A. Tenneson; S. Otto; J.

A festive silver and black dragon on a pink bamboo curtain was the background for Ken Reeves ' Orchestra. acCcU a cUu 1 4fiCe tcCox fo t£e dc i ol yea%.

Seniors and Juniors who excel in character, service, scholarship, and leadership are chosen to become mem¬ bers of the Carl T. Rhoades Chapter of the National Honor Society. Sophomores may become probationary members, and, if their standing is maintained, they be¬ come full members in their junior year. To be eligible for membership a student must have a certain percentage average in his grades depending on his year in school, the minimum grade being 90 in the sophomore year, 87’ 2 in the junior year, and 85 in the senior year. As the elected representatives of the school, the Student Council serves as a link between the faculty and the student body. This year the Council had a very profitable program. Through its efforts, the Wildcat mascot was chosen, more dances were held during the school year, and a package was sent to Care ' The Council worked to have the Field Day scoring changed, so that the boys and girls scores were combined to pro¬ duce a class winner whose numerals were engraved on a plaque in order to promote more class spirit and grade competition.

Each school day is begun with the Bible reading and morning announcements which are given via the public address system by members of the club. This year the Announcer ' s Club members have also taken over the practice of giving the afternoon announcements just before the close of the school day. An enjoyable and informative field trip to some of the Boston radio and television stations climaxes each year ' s activities of this school service club. The Charity Committee was originally formed to conduct fund-raising drives in the school. This year, the School Committee decided not to have such drives. Be¬ cause of this decision, the main activity of the Charity Committee has been to make a polio innoculation survey of the students of Weston High School. As a result of this survey, those who had not received their shots were urged to get them. THE CHARITY COMMITTEE: J. Harding, M. Moores, C. Callinan, D. Toppan, J. Walker, D. White, J. Havey, S.

The French Club, which is an outgrowth of the Affiliation Club, was organized to acquaint more people with France and the French people. Part of the year ' s program was a discussion conducted in French by Tad Crawford and Marcel Megal about Christmas customs in France. Mrs. Zamprogno and Tad Crawford also showed slides of their recent trips to France. LATIN CLUB Membership in the Latin Club is open to all those students who have taken Latin II. The program included a play produced by the Latin III class and a discussion with Father Laughlan on the definition of fine arts. From the first parliamentary adoption of the constitution of the club, to the Latin Dinner that will never be forgotten, the Latin Club program was a success. ROW 1: S. Hamill, J. Nielson, N.

Countless lonely males succumbed to the potent arsenic, and then were buried in the cellar by a peculiar person who insisted on being called President Theodore Roosevelt.

Jonathan, an escapee from the insane asylum and his friend Dr. Einstein added horror and anxiety to the play, while Jonathan ' s brother Mortimer and his girl friend, Elaine, contributed the needed dash of romance. Even the Brooklyn cops and twelve stiff corpses got into the act. We all feel that Arsenic and Old Lace, under the direction of Mr. John W.

The Class of 1958 welcomed Marcel Megal, an exchange student from Rombas, France, and Harry Crawford who spent last year in France as an exchange student from Weston. Through this program, the individuals, our classes, the towns, and eventually even our countries benefit from the understanding and friendliness which develops among the students in the schools. Our classes become more world-wide, and the small scope of our thought begin to include distant countries since they seem nearer and more real to us through the association with ex¬ change students.

This year our highly spirited football team produced the first winning season for Coach Harris since he took over the coaching job three years ago. Every afternoon saw the boys hard at work perfecting each play through a heavy fog of dust. With the team hard hit by injuries and the flu. Coach Harris -and his assistant coaches, Mr. Carini and Mr. Anderson, were constantly shuffling the players from position to position to fill a vacant spot. So thorough was their shifting that almost everyone on the squad could fill in at two or three different slots.

Gaining their stride Weston easily defeated Ipswich, Westwood, and Millbury, but then was stopped by a determined Scituate eleven. Postponed because of the flu until Thanksgiving morning, the Wayland game proved to be the same thriller it always is.

Both the varsity and the junior varsity finished the season with a record of seven victories and one tie. Credit is due to Miss Butera, who again coached the girls through another unde¬ feated season. The high interest in this sport is clear when one realizes that one hundred and two girls signed up to play, but limitations forced a cut to thirty-eight. Dottie White, outstanding center forward, was the highest scorer. The defense was abetted by fullbacks Jean Havey and Ann Donaldson. Behind these girls was our dependable goalie, Joan Walker. The fine sportsmanship exhibited by both squads, plus the final record gave to Weston High School a field hockey team of which the entire school is justly proud.

Under the direction of Coach Carini the 1957-58 basketball team finished the season with a sound nine and five record, lacking experience, the team dropped its first game but then bounced back to win the next seven. The high point of this streak was the defeat of Wayland. Trailing by eleven points at half-time, the “Wildcats rebounded in the final half to win the most gratifying and ex¬ citing game of the season. Going into the final game against Lincoln-Sudbury, needing a victory to enter the Tech Tourney, the team played valiantly but could not score enough points and so was eliminated. For the first time the Junior Varsity practiced at a different time from the varsity and had a faculty member, Mr. Anderson, as coach. With only three juniors on the squad, the J. V. had little experience. This hampered their play and was reflected in their season ' s record. Topper Bulkley gets off a shot against Bedford. Captain Kim Cummings and Coach Carini.

The record of the junior varsity gives evidence that in the future Weston will continue to produce suc¬ cessful teams. Miss Butera, who coached the girls for many hours, should be congratulated for the fine results achieved. The home game with Regional in which Wes¬ ton was victorious provided the most demanding chal¬ lenge. Joan Walker ' s consistent success from the foul line and the excellent guarding of Celia Melone aided Weston in this hard-earned victory. Miss Butera gives the girls some last minute instructions.

Much credit for this good showing must go to Nancy White of the class of ' 57, whom the girls elected captain of the squad. Leading the batting line-up, catcher Dottie White was one of the outstand¬ ing hitters. Carolyn Mason pitched very well throughout the season. In the last game, with Lincoln-Sudbury Regional, she saved the game in the last of the ninth inning to give Weston another victory. Joan Walker and Ellie Tomlin¬ son each did an excellent job in the outfield. The scores of the two games with arch-rival Wayland show how well the girls worked to¬ gether to produce a winning team.

Led by Josh Lombard and Reed Langenback the cross-country team won the first meet in its history over a determined Bedford team. In league competition the team was unsuccessful against the larger schools losing to Everett Vocational, Woburn, Stone- ham and Lexington. In the combined league meet at Tufts the team pulled off an upset by finishing second in the Junior Varsity and Small Schools Division. Reed finished four¬ teenth and Josh nineteenth in the field of one hundred-fifty runners. In the annual Eastern Massachusetts Tournament at Franklin Park the team copped sixth place in Class D out of a field of seventeen teams. In a drizzling rain Reed again was tops for Weston finishing twenty-fourth and captain Tad Crawford was twenty- eighth. As interest in golf grows in the school, the golf team gains in importance. Last spring for the first time the team entered a league. Led by the driving play of Jim Rote, the team captured four victories, tied two matches and lost three others. Two of these triumphs THE GOLF TEAM: Mr. Hill, N. Hubbard, J. Crowe, J. Perry, J. Rote, P. Mueller, L. Forman. were over Ashland by shut-out scores, and the other wins were at the expense of Northboro and Southboro. With the whole team expected to return, this year should also produce a fine record.

The spring of 1957 was a successful year for girls ' tennis. From the large turnout of girls Miss Butera was able to select a squad of twenty promising players. The girls became not only good players, but they also had outstanding spirit and sportsmanship. All of these qual¬ ities were needed in the five matches they played. They lost to Wellesley, but under the leadership of Frannie Tyng, ' 57, and Miss Butera, they rebounded to win over Westwood, Concord, and Natick, and the girls ended the season in a tie with Walpole. GIRLS ' AND BOYS ' TENNIS In Weston ' s expanding sports program the tennis team has become a source of pride to our school. Last spring the boys ' team had its most successful season. In its first five matches the team was undefeated. The vanquished teams were Westwood and Lexington twice, and Newton J.V. In its last matches with larger schools. the team tied Wellesley and lost to Belmont in a close contest. The team was sparked by John Wyman who was runner-up in the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Tournament. With the loss of only one senior. Coach Proctor hopes for as successful a season next year. 1st ROW: J. Tyng, C. Janeway, J. Brooks. 2nd ROW: R. Langenbach, D. Kellogg, T. MeGuire, Coach Proctor. NOT SHOWN: J.

On Saturday, February 8, 1958, Weston High School was proud to play host to the convention of the Science Clubs of Eastern Massachusetts. This convention was attended by guests from many schools representing the Eastern hal f of the state. Although bad weather made it impossible for some groups to come, there were still many present for whom this event provided an un¬ forgettable experience. The high point of the convention was a talk given by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, international famous scientist and associate Director of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Ob¬ servatory on satellites and their operation. Slides were shown in color, giving the structure and use of these missiles. At noon luncheon was served in the cafeteria, with Mr. Arthur Sperry, vice president and general manager of Vectron, as the after-dinner speaker. He spoke on What Does Industry Look for in Its Scientists. In the afternoon many unable to come earlier were present to attend the discussion groups held in various classrooms, choosing from the following interest¬ ing topics: Aeronautics, led by Mr. Sture Blom; Bio¬ chemistry, led by Mr. Robert Larsen; Electronics, led by Mr. Herbert Oram and Mr. William Lamb; Hexafiex- agons, led by Henry Lehne; and Medicine, led by Robert J. MacMillan M.D. A Geology field trip to Wes¬ ton seismological observatory at Weston College and a Board meeting were also included in the afternoon program. Juy6lcy tt4 tofr Mluty o t t£e o£ t e yeasts evente This year a new contest, sponsored by the Weston Rotary Club, has given high school seniors a chance to win a $300 scholarship. On February 21, eleven students gave impressive three-minute talks before the entire student body. The subject What I Want Out of Life was announced only twenty-fve minutes before¬ hand. The Rotary Club members present were, at the left below. Representative J. Robert Ayers and Mr. Harry Patterson; at the right, Mr. Richard Crouch and Mr. Murray Burke, president. In the center are Mr. John W. Zorn, Director of Speech and Mr. Julius Mueller, principal of Weston High.
