Upfront HeadmasTer For AdminisTraTion ln his remarks To The senior class, Mr. Mahoney, Headmasfer for AdminisTraTion, observes ThaT i'Today, BrockTon High School offers one of The mosf diversified curricula in The nafion, This has been made possible by The new BrockTon High School, iTs faculTy, and The faciliTies iT affords. Having firsT enTered adminisTraTion in 1955, Mr. Mahoney has nofed many changes in educa- Tion. He says, 'TEducaTion is like a pendulum, In 1957, when The Russians puT SpuTnik inTo orbiT, our schools came under heavy crificism because of lack of emphasis on science and maThemaT- ics and There, also, was a vere sTrong Thrusf of reTurning To The basics.

Upfront Assistant Housemasters ln the course of an ordinary day, these men, Richard Zoino, Kenneth Cordone, Charles Pullo- fiaco, and Raymond Bussolari, deal with disci- pline, demerits, and suspensions, The Assistant Housemasters' main function is to deal with stu- dent discipline problems, The job is a complicat- ed one for one man in each building to handle in view of the many factors which enter into it. Since the Assistant Housemasters deal exclu- sively with discipline problems, they feel that, today, the percentage of students being dealt with has increased However, they are auick to emphasize that the students who cause disci- pline problems are not representative of o ma- jO'iTy at the student body. . . . work toward helping each other by Generally, the Assistant Housemasters see so- ciety as a great influence on the problems of today's high school student. People have be- come frustrated with the problems of our times and this spills over into education. Students are sometimes not motivated and thus develop a negative attitude toward the benefits of o solid education and the offerings of Brockton High School to each individual This attitude seen by the Assistant Housemasters is becomingly great- er as economic and social problems increase. The Assistant Housemasters advise students to work toward the improvement of society. They would like those entering new phases of their life to remember that life will be filled with good times as well as bad times. It is important to be honest with ourselves and to work toward help- ing each other. 80 Dawn Stanton Betsy Zullas .4-ur l lr' Richard Zolno, Green House Kenneth Cardone, Red House ui' 'F ,, U .Qt Charles Pullaflco, Azure House 3 1- f A ' Raymond luuolarl, Yellow House -.--11-0 I I
