English The English Department, guided by Miss Spaulding, who is ably assisted by Mr. Wilkinson, aspires to train young people to think analytically and logically, thus preparing them for col- lege, for business, and for life. In addi- tion to the courses usually offered in English, the department also makes available to interested juniors and sen- iors a special course in Creative Writ- ing, expertly taught by Mr. Newsom. In all English classes, however, there can be found one common goal, that of increasing the student ' s awareness of the applicability of what he reads and learns to related situations. ROW 1: Miss Johnson, Miss Ambler, Mr. Seamans, Mr. Wilkinson, Miss Shaw, Miss Tiews. ROW 2: Mr. Michaels, Miss Deal, Mr. Weeks, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Walsh, Miss Fitzhenry. Industrial Arts The Industrial Arts Department, un- der Mr. Edmunds’ direction, has a double aim. The first is to serve a number of students who do not have the benefits of a secondary education. Therefore the courses for these boys have a strong vocational flavor. In addition, the department offers an avocational course to supplement the student ' s general educational oppor- tunities with practical knowledge and experimental learning that calls for the exercise of all senses.

Business The business world offers a great number of opportunities for success in life. Here at Brookline High School we have a Business Department that lays the foundations for future careers in business. At the head of this de- partment is Mr. Ehnes, the man who has planned and provided this program. The schedule includes instruction in bookkeeping, typing, stenography, business law, and a general study of business. Mr. Ehnes and his faculty aim to provide opportunities for cultural de- velopment, leading to a full participa- tion in the economic and social aspects of adult life. ROW I: Miss Poland, Mr. Ehnes (Head of Dept.), Miss Maguire. ROW 2: Mr. Wall, Miss Hamblin, Miss Greenshields, Mr. Dunbar, Mr. Hurd. ROW 1: Miss South, Miss Abel, Mrs. Means, Miss Egan, Miss Phillips. ROW 2: Mr. Grin- ned, Mr. Woodman, Miss Harper, Mr. Archibald, Mr. Parkhill. Guidance, Homemaking, and Library The Guidance, Homemaking, and Library department although presented as one are three of our school ' s most active groups. Mr. Woodman heads the former by directing the paths of high school’s many bewildered stu- dents; while Miss Cronan leads the homemaking instructors who prepare their pupils to be thrifty and compe- tent housewifes; and Miss Philips with the other librarians opens the cover to knowledge by presenting displays and talks which prompt all students to delve in the wealth of literature.

Latin “Hie, haec, hoc, huius throughout” — mumbles the undaunted freshman Latin student. During the following years, under the conscientious direction of Miss Perkins, Miss Vanacore, and Miss Manter, he becomes acquainted with Caesar’s adventures, Cicero’s ora- tions, and Virgil’s poetry. These four years of study not only unfold the mysteries of Latin to the student, but also help him gain a better command of the English language. ROW 1: Miss Perkins (Head of Dept.). ROW 2: Miss Manter, Miss Vanacore Mathematics It has been the unfaultering aim of Mr. Ward and the Mathematics De- partment to prepare some students for vocations of scientific and professional nature and to help still others acquire an understanding of mathematics. We shall appreciate this valuable training received at B.H.S. more and more as each of us enters upon his life ' s work.
