SECRETARIES Mrs. Zarella and Mrs. Currie Mrs. Garfield assisting Our Belmont High School secretaries deserve much credit for their service. Not only do they type and take dictation; they also serve as an information center, carefully reporting attendance, constantly helping lost students, making appointments for parents, and dis- tributing lost and found items. In the main office Mrs. Helen Zarella and Mrs. Charlotte Currie aid administrators with the major school business. Mrs. Leila Brodeur is an asset to the counselors in the guidance department. In the voca- tional office, Mrs. Mary Barkas handles bookkeeping and typing. Such services of these secretaries contribute to the efficiency of the administration. Mrs. Barkas Our library now contains approximately seven thou- sand volumes of novels, histories, anthologies, en- cyclopedias, journals, and magazines, providing stu- dents with materials for reference and pleasure reading. The new library unit consists of a main reading room, an office, and a storage room for periodicals. Our librarian, Mrs. Garfield, is always willing to assist students in locating information and is constantly working to bet- ter research facilities. 4

GUIDANCE Miss Dorothy M. Anderson Dean of Girls I do not shrink from this responsibility — I welcome it. Our class is ready to continue a most impor- tant project — shaping its future. Perhaps, though, the most formative period in this process of build- ing for tomorrow is finished. During the high school years a dedicated guidance staff has coun- seled and bolstered plans and hopes. Many false steps of career planning have been spared. Grati- tude for their contribution of time and devotion will increase through the years. Our counselors have done their part, and partly because of their concern, the class of 1965 is now prepared to meet its responsibilities. Mr: Arthur Morgan Guidance Mr. Albert J. Orton Dean of Boys 3

Mr. Domenic Amoruso Band; Orchestra; Music Club Dr. William Bettencourt Mechanical Drawing; Driver Education FACULTY Mr. John L. Brown English ( Head of Dept.) The Class of 1965 appreciates the efforts of the faculty of Belmont High School to educate its minds and strengthen its moral characters. Members of the faculty, whether as an educator, club advisor, class advisor, or coach, were friends to their students. Educators of today accept a large re- sponsibility on entering this profession: they have much to teach and little time in which to accomplish education. In today’s challenging world, the student must be of a high caliber. The fine faculty has trained students to meet and cope with the challenges of the future. Mr. Paul W.
