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. SITTING: Mrs. Howe, Arith., Eng.; Miss Stiles, Geog. STANDING: Mr. Anderson, Sci., Geog.; Miss Marble, Sci.; Mrs. Foley, Arith.; Mr. DeRusha, Eng., Admin. Harvard, each teaching for one semester. It is the first year that an in¬ ternship such as this has been in practice at Weston. Mr. Merrill; Mr. Macleod; Mr. Clarn-e. 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.

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
