FACULTY TEACHERS, by their training and accomplishments, are committed to the spread of knowledge, as the doctors are to health. Teachers work in the broad field of the intellect, and have tremendous power to influence and to inspire others. The teacher imparts knowledge to students by instruction, direction, encouragement, and example, and his influence ends only at the limits of the mind. The teacher must always look forward: to improved methods, new situations, and higher goals. The teacher is expected to change and to adapt, while maintaining the highest standards of truthfulness, sincerity, and responsibility. We have looked to our teachers for these qualities, and we are proud of them, too. For their instruction, their foresight, and their dedication, we honor them. Mr. John L. Brown English Miss Margaret R. Antonclli French Mr. Edmund J. Burke Mathematics Dr. William Bettencourt Mechanical Drawing Driver Education Mr. Paul W.

THIS WAS YOUR LIFE Guidance Office Point of View “My parents want me to take the college course.” “I guess that I better not take five majors again next year.” “I want to take so many things—Physics, Math 13, Russian 2, Modern Problems, Creative Writing— what shall 1 do?” Why can’t I take six subjects?” “It’s the verbs that bother me.” “Can I take a test to tell me what I am good for?” Should I take the PSAT? When do I take the SAT and Achievements? “I want engineering.” “What educational opportunities are available in the Services?” “I want to be a social service worker—or an elementary school teacher.” “I want to go to l.B.M. School.” “I am so sleepy when I try to study after playing sports in the afternoon.” MR. ALBERT J. ORTON Dean of Boys GUIDANCE “I love Belmont High School.” Where can I really go to school next year?” I would like to go to that Open House—how do I get there—will you provide transportation?” I want a campus college —but not too far away so I can be home week-ends.” Can I join the Driver Education class this semester— I’ll be sixteen in June?” “Why didn’t I get the job?” “Absent?” “Forty days?” Why do I have to tell them I’m going to school in the fall—it’s only a summer job and I need the money?” “I’ve got to talk to someone.” (Tears) “I tried your system and it works.” 1 am completely undecided.” With our continuing good wishes to you all, Dorothy M. Anderson Dean of Girls Albert J. Orton Dean of Boys 5 MISS DOROTHY M. ANDERSON Dean of Girls
