tauUUih Dryartmrnt Beginning with the taboos of “ain’t” and the complexities of gram- mar, and culminating in the scholar- ly study of Shakespeare, the teachers of this department developed in stu- dents a familiarity with our language and literature. A course in creative writing, for the first time included in the curriculum, proved so success- ful that it will be continued and will probably include more advanced work. This course and that in jour- nalistic English have become esta- blished electives under Miss Spauld- ing’s progressive direction. ROW 1: Mrs. Walker, Miss Shaw, Miss Tiews, Miss Spaulding (Head of Dept.), Miss Sawyer, Mrs. Harvey, Miss Fitzhenry, Miss Deal. ROW : Mr Grinnell. Mr. Weeks, Mr. Williams, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr Jordan, Mr Walsh, Mr. Newsom, Mr. Seamans. OnuiUmn innunnakutn mb Uilrranj Bryartnunitu Wrapped up in one package are three of Brookline High School’s most important functions. Mr. Woodman’s guidance has con- tributed to helping each student de- cide on the right post-high school plans for himself, as an individual, considering his preferences, abilities, and finances. Miss Cronan’s Homemaking De- partment prepared Brookline’s girls for future careers as thrifty and effi- cient housewives. The library, domain of Miss Phil- lips, has broadened the scope of its users through its wealth of literature. STANDING: Miss Altman, Mrs. Means, Mr. Woodman, Miss South.

Instead, students seeking this invaluable background, the Art, Speech, and Music Departments, under the leadership of Miss Parker, Mr. Zanzig, Miss Folsom, and Mrs. Greenberg, offered the experience of developing their own talents and abilities, intelligently appreciating gifts of others, and learning to con- vey their feelings through art, speech and music. SEATED: Miss Horn, Mrs. Wood berry, Miss Folsom, Mrs. Greenberg. STANDING: Mr Joslin, Mrs. Jarratt, Mr. Corley.

(jtmummial Bepartmrnt Commerce is the pulse that beats through all of America’s living body. Students whose training will provide a strong beat in the nation’s pulse must be prepared for places in the business world. In typing and stenography, book- keeping and filing, billing and cleri- cal work, this end was achieved by the Commercial Department. This phase of vocational training not only assured its students of an occupation but also equipped them with knowledge of the bearing of business functions upon the world and civilization. MRS.

IniUUitrial Arts Drpartnuntt Woodturning, printing, automo- bile repairing, woodworking, me- chanical drawing, radio repairing, machine shop practice, carpentry, metallurgy, and repairing electrical appliances were only a few of the many subjects taught by well-trained members of this department. To prepare young men for posi- tions in industry, to teach them trades by which to earn livings, these were the aims and the achievements of the Industrial Arts Department. Brookline High School was proud to help fill the ever-increasing need for tradesmen. SEATED: Mr Bowler, Mr. Woodlocke, Mr. Edmonds (Head of Dept.), Mr Beauchemin, Mr McCabe. STANDING: Mr. W. Driscoll, Mr. MacMillan, Mr. Ford, Mr E. Driscoll. IGatiu Bryartnuntt Caesar’s campaigns, Cicero’s ora- tions, and Virgil ' s Aeneid live as works to be read and analyzed by the classical scholars of B.H.S. These students gain better compre- hension of the derivation of their own and foreign languages. In addition to the Latin readings, background material on Roman cul- ture and life enriched the curriculum of this department, so that it pre- sented not only the mechanical work- ings of the language, but also that era’s contributions to our civiliza- tion.
