JJljpsical education department NORMA ALLEN Known to Brookline High School girls only in the capacity of an instructor in field hockey, basketball, and riding. Miss Norma Allen possesses hidden talents. For she also teaches at the Charlestown Evening Center, and receives the “punishment she metes out during the week, as a member of the All-Boston Hockey team. FRANCIS T. BALL Mr. Ball specializes in instruct- ing pupils of the Lawrence and Heath schools in the art of physi- cal education. At the high school, he treats himself to a healthy workout in his capacity of coach to the Jun ior Varsity football squad. As might well be expected, his particular interest is hockey. THOMAS H. HINES Mr. Hines, head of the town’s Physical Education Department, has worked enthusiastically in the promotion of student physical education, both in class periods and in extra-curricular activitie s. He has provided an opportunity to participate in almost every com- petitive sport. Mr. Hines ranks high among men in his field. CHARLES A. BEMIS As gym instructor at Brookline High School for many years, Mr. Bemis has spent much of his time in promoting the physical educa- tion of the students. As part of this program, he has adopted sev- eral extra-curricular activities. Among these are coaching the intra - mural basketball games, coaching the freshman baseball team, and directing the play- ground work at Griggs Field. HARRY E. BROWN “Now, come on, John. Swing! Hit that ball!” This might well he Mr. Brown giving a member of the golf team a lesson on the why’s and wherefore’s of the game. Besides coaching the golf team, he is also an instructor of physical education and especially enjoys giving exercises on the parallel bars. JOHN B. DUNN The coach who is to be seen furiously blowing his whistle dur- ing Freshman football practice is none other than Mr. Dunn. He ' is an important member of the Phys- ical Education staff, and may be found during the week teaching gymnastics at the Pierce and Dris- coll grammar schools, as well as at the High School. RACHEL L. KELLEY The voice calling out “One, two one, two” at class day re- hearsals might well have belonged to M iss Kelley, gym instructor for girls. Teacher specifically of the pupils who have unfortunately gotten low marks in their physical fitness tests, she has been recuper- ating from a severe attack of pneu- monia that she had this winter.

Department EDW AIM) I?. COOPER Mr. Cooper, until now hiding his light under a bushel, is dis- covered to be a frequent contribu- tor to “School Science and Mathe- matics”. Between sessions of the High and Evening schools, when- ever not at a meeting of the Sci- ence Club or Student Council, he may be found indulging in his fav- orite hobbies of skiing and pho- tography. CARROLL H. LOWE If you should pass a brand new house some evening and hear the strains of a Beethoven Symphony, you might be going by the resi- dence of Mr. Lowe. A lover of music, he is also intensely inter- ested in his subject, physics, and is proud of the fact that he is a veteran of the first World War. BERTRAM H. HOLLAND To find your spectacles, the man to see for information regarding them is Mr. Holland, in charge of the Lost and Found Depart- ment, as well as teaching both biology and general science. For the information of all underclass- men, he will be the new Packard House chief next year. ALFRED C. WEBBER The heap of cameras on Mr. Webber’s desk will show perhaps that this is the afternoon for a Camera Club Meeting, of which he has charge. Housemaster of Pack- ard House, he teaches both Gen- eral Science and Physics, and of- fers his classes much special in- formation on telescopes. But of all accomplishments, his proudest is the twins. E. MONTGOMERY WELLS In addition to teaching Physics, Mr. Wells coaches the track team. Himself a nationally known track star a few years ago, Mr. Wells has produced many fine inter- scholastic teams and individual stars. Mr. Wells’ other interests include motion picture photog- raphy and lecturing on travels and sports. He is also the adviser of the Track Club.
