Leadership — Responsibility — Pride The Naval Science Department is a recent addition to the many courses of study offered to the young men of Woburn High School. The Naval Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Pro¬ gram has been established through an Act of Congress and has been approved by the Secretary of the Navy. The purpose of the Program is to develop leaders with a strong sense of responsibility, pride, and self-reliance. The Naval Cadets meet twice weekly in regular classroom study. They explore such subjects as Naval Seapower, Naval Tradition, Oceanography, and other extremely interesting topics. On a previously specified day, the Naval Cadets will assemble on the parade grounds and will be instructed in the basics of close order drill and the manual of arms. Sergeant Bevers points out vessel’s armament. Chief Rawson explains drill. Chief Murphy points out world trouble spot. 24

Guidance Seeks Individual Self-Appraisal The Guidance Department believes that every student is capable of being directed to maximum achievement through a knowledge of his own worth and capabilities and a mature sense of re¬ sponsibility. The department is constantly striving to assist each student to reach his maximum scholastic potential and to aid him in finding the most suitable place for his creative efforts. Guidance, toward self appraisal, is the best method of helping the student realize his own potential. A student may request an interview with his counselor when¬ ever the need or desire arises. Discussions with parents concerning the educational opportunities for their sons and daughters are regarded as most essential. Parents who are unable, or who find it difficult to confer during regular school hours, may do so on Monday evenings, as the Guidance Office is open, by appoint¬ ment, every week at this time. Guidance seeks to help the individ¬ ual help himself and assists each student in making a wise choice for his benefit and the benefit of society. Students discuss future. 23
