An inspirational teacher — an unforgettable friend. MISS HELEN B. 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

' All the world s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” ' fyau 7t As we sat in our senior English Class, pondering not on Shakespeare and London, but on our own future, we slowly began to realize that these words written hundreds of years ago, might have some personal mean¬ ing.

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.

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.
