Not everyone can afford an analyst, but each Brookline High School student has a guidance counselor who takes special interest in his aspirations, plans, and problems. Throughout the student’s four years in high school, the guidance counselor helps him learn his strengths and weaknesses, make a career choice, and select schools to prepare him for his career. The testing service run by this depart- ment is truly outstanding. Tests give the student a variety of oppor- tunities to determine his aptitudes and interests. The information the counselor obtains in this way enables him to counsel the student ef- fectively. The Guidance Department’s unselfish assistance helps us to know ourselves better and to define our future plans. 8 2 2

HEADMASTER Brookline High School has always been large; this year it is larger than ever. Therefore, the job of the headmaster requires an ability to organize effectively without sacrificing a close relationship with students and faculty.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Like Barkis, the English department “is willin’ Among other things, these teachers are willing to spend endless hours correcting themes, to conduct stimulating discussions, and to help stu- dents overcome grammatical weaknesses — all with a view to arousing the stu- dents’ appreciation and understanding of language and literature. In the course of four years, students are introduced not only to many literary forms — drama, the novel, the short story, and poetry — but also to works representing a variety of periods in English literature. In short, the English teachers help us communi- cate with others and understand others as they communicate with us.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT “The man who has music in his soul will be in love with the loveli- est.” The band, orchestra, vocal groups, music appreciation classes, and all the other activities sponsored by the music department bring the joy of music to countless students, whether they participate or listen. Moreover, the concerts and special performances directed by this department are a link between the school and the community. The work of these teachers stimulates general appreciation of music both within the student body and throughout the town of Brookline. “The whole is equal to the sum of its parts,” and the unparalleled achievement of the mathematics department is equal to the combined knowledge and initiative of its members. Student interest and en- thusiasm in this vital field can be proved to be in direct proportion to the effort and skill of these dedicated followers of Euclid and Pythagoras. This department merits a maximum quantity of praise for its work in teaching a subject of immeas- urable significance in a world where math becomes daily more important for man’s very survival.
