The Assistant Housemaster in each building is responsible for insuring that both peace and tranquility reign throughout the house. Each building in Brockton High School may be subjected to problems or dilemmas. It is through the harmo- nious interaction of the students and faculty that many of these difficulties are resolved or avoided. Mr. Zoino, the Assistant Housemaster in the Green Building, defines his responsibilities, to administer to the needs of the Green House. More specifically, Mr. Zoino handles student problems and attendance, encourages student morale, evalu- ates the staff, re- views the curricu- lum, and super- vises all activities in t h e G r e e n House. Mr. Zoino has always pro- vided the Green House with a well run administration. Mr. Zoino is a man who is always wil- ing to listen to a problem, either academic or per- sonal. He has be- come friends with many in the class of 1983 and would like to offer this ad- vice: Be honest with yourself and always strive for those kinds of things that will benefit your fellow man and thereby benefit yourself. Mary E. Ronan MR. RICHARD ZOINO GREEN HOUSE In the Azure build- ing, Mr. Puliafico is the Assistant Hou- semaster. He han- dles all of the disci- pline and atten- dance in the House.

Advising the Class of 1983 for life and its challenges, Mr. Puliafico says, Try to get as much as possible from everyth- ing you do. Don't do anything haphazardly, you'll only hurt yourself in the long run. Anything that's worth doing is worth doing right, so always try as hard as you possibly can.

HOUSEMASTERS MR. CHRIS ARGYS Brockton High School is composed of four unique aca- demic-buildings as a part of the house plan. Each build- ing is placed under the supervision of a Housemaster who is responsible for all activities and events in that building. Dr. Appling, as Housemaster in the Yellow Building, is responsible for both the students and staff and attempts to insure a smooth course. She tries to become acquainted with as many Yellow House stu- dents as possible. She is proud of students who excel academically, participate in sports events and are active in club and student government. Dr. Appling recognizes the Class of 1983 as abounding with enthusiasm. There is a very positive attitude on the part of students with many members of this class becoming involved. School spirit seems to have soared to a new peak. Dr. Appling encourages school spirit and a pride in Brockton High Schoolg it is essential compan- ion to the learning format. Brockton High has tried to prepare members of the Class of 1983 for what they may encounter in the future. Dr. Appling recommends that the students be multifa- ceted in exploration of their fields of endeavor. Broaden the choices of career opportunities. In closing, she would like to advise the Class of 1983 -- It is important to use all of your attributes in work- ing to the best of your ability to achieve your high- The Azure buildings students share a special pride in their building that arises from their housemas- ter, Mr. Argys. He has the ability to strongly unify the student body and make them proud that they're not just part of Brockton High School, but part of the Azure House. The housemasters' job includes the management of student records, schedules, teachers, academic and personal problems, and general responsibility for keeping the individual houses of the complex run- ning smoothly. With his hands seemingly full of administrative tasks, Mr. Argys manages to devote time and attention to each student that wishes it. To prevent students from feeling like a number, Mr. Argys says, I try to let them know someone cares, to encourage love for the Azure building, and love for themselves. I try to make them so proud that they burst at the seams. His zeal is apparent when he speaks of his job. I love this job in the Azure building at Brockton High and I wouldn't want to do it anywhere but here. He feels that the Class of '83 will be able to be counted in society. As graduation approaches, Mr. Argys thinks that the class has been prepared to deal with life, and he hopes that through the exper- iences at Brockton High School, the students have become better human beings. He advises the Class of '83, Face the world and try to make it a better place. Be what you are, try to do what you think is right, and things will be all right. Gail Greenblatt est potential.
