Commercial Department KELSEY C. ATTICKS In addition to serving as head of the Commercial Department, Mr. Atticks also acts as the Treas- urer of Brookline High School’s activities funds. In this latter capacity, he supervises all ac- counts and has the histories of each school organization at his finger tips. He now teaches both Business Law and Economics, in addition to serving as ad iser to penmanship classes. JANE BERRIMAN Most of the girls who are earn- ing extra money by working after school hours can thank Miss Ber- riman for her aid as supervisor of employment for girls. She teaches typewriting and junior business training in the High School, and also teaches law and economics at Boston University. CHRISTIAN WALTER EHNES Seeing the imposing list of Junior Business Training, Business Training and Bookkeeping courses that Mr. Ehnes teaches, many people wonder how he finds time to supervise the financial and business activities of the Saga- more. He serves also as attend- ance supervisor for Akers House hoys and helps Mr. Atticks in boy placement. M. S. GREENSHIELDS Besides teaching stenography and typewriting during the school day, Miss Greenshields is assistant Treasurer of all Brookline High School activities, an extremely re- sponsible post. In addition to these activities, she serves on the following important committees: the American Education Week Committee, the Book Week Com- mittee, and the Home Room Com- mittee. GRACE A. HAMBLIN Typewriting and stenography is an exacting and tedious job to teach every day, so for enjoyment M iss Hamblin has taken up golf and swimming. She is quite an expert golfer and spends many a summer afternoon on the links or cools herself with a long swim. ANNA L. MAGUIRE Many a student can attribute his neat rows of figures, tidy bookkeep- ing, and fast, legible typewriting to the efforts of Miss Maguire. Be- sides teaching commercial sub- jects, she is in charge of the Com- mercial Department Stock Rooms and is co-chairman wi th Mr. Ehnes of the Examination Sched- ule Committee. ADELINE F. NICKERSON Miss Nickerson is a familiar sight around the typewriter room, where she teaches Junior Business Training and Bookkeeping. A member of the Home Room and Auditorium Committees and past Treasurer of all Houses, she is a member of the Shailer House Council, School Council, and an adviser of the Spanish, Foods, and Camera Clubs. EMMA POLAND It is practically impossible to find Miss Poland during school afternoons, for she is always busy. But the first place to hunt for her is at a meeting of the Girl Scout Mariners. She is also head of Akers House, teaches office prac- tice, and plays an active part in Girls’ League affairs.

MARIAN BATES That swift traveling ball zip- ping down the fairway might have been whammed by Miss Bates, a lover of all sports, but particular- ly golf, fishing and swimming.

HELEN S. COLLINS To what interests would a mathematics teacher and Girls’ League advisor devote herself on a holiday?

DOWNES An “all-American”, and an in- spiration to his athletes, Mr. Downes produces winning foot- ball teams for Brookline.

During the school day, Mr. Downes teaches algebra and serves as faculty adviser to the Touch- down Club. THOMAS E. FITZGERALD Although called Mr. Fitzgerald, the boys in his mathematics classes, and on the athletic field have fondly labeled him as “Fitzy”. In the fall he may be found coaching freshman football, in collaboration wdth the Physical Education Department.

BARTLETT Mr. Bartlett has, for several years, held the extremely import- ant post of director of the Evening School. During the day, however, he instructs the scientifically- minded students of Brookline High School in the mysteries of biology. 1 his subject has proved of great value to him in the past by providing him with numerous loads for his garden. LELAND G. HOLLINGWORTH “Please, Mr. Hollingworth, I’ve written my equations over 50 times. Can’t I leave now?” This might be heard any afternoon when opportunity periods meet, for no teacher is more thorough than this head of the Science De- partment. Chemistry and radio are his main interests and he espe- cially enjoys tinkering with short wave and amateur radio broad- casts. V. RUSSELL BECK Though a teacher of Science at Brookline High School, Mr. Beck is currently involved in the or- ganization of a new course of study for the grade schools. This course is designed to provide for some of the present weaknesses in the sci- ence courses taught throughout the entire eight grades in the grammar schools. KATHERINE L. BRUCE Most versatile member of the faculty is Miss Bruce, connected with the science department as a biology teacher. She lists music, travel, reading, stamp-collecting and theatre-going among her numerous diversions, and in addi- tion, has shared the duties of fac- ulty ad iser to the Girl Scouts with Miss Nichols for four years. NELLIE M. CAMPBELL A teacher in the chemistry divi- sion of the Science Department, Miss Campbell spends part of her spare time doing Red Cross volun- teer work.
