ADMINISTRATION It has been said that a slip of the pen by a member of the secretarial staff could throw the whole school into a state of confusion. Fortunately, such errors are rarely made by our skilled secretaries, whose numerous duties include keeping records, sending out notices, issuing passes, handling school correspondence, and, in general, preventing chaos. Their work contributes immeasurably to the efficient operation of our school. Mrs. McDonnell, Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Ravreby, Mrs. Meany, Miss Niland, Miss O’Leary. LIBRARY STAFF A quiet haven, a source of personal enrichment, a research center — the library is all of these. This pleasant situation is made possible by the work of our library staff, which is headed this year by Mrs. Cribben. These interesting people enjoy conversing with students who seek their acquaintance and help. Because of their careful en- forcement of rules, the library is a peaceful and convenient place in which to read or work. Mrs. Cribben (Head Librarian), Mrs. Marvit, Mrs. Mulford. Not Present: Mrs. Zimmerman, Mrs. Oscherwitz. NURSES “Health is a jewel.” The health of the entire student body is the responsibility of our nurses. The shots, tests, and periodic examina- tions are a few of the ways by which they ensure the physical well- being of all students. Always pleasant and capable in an emergency, the nurses perform a difficult job well. Miss Schome r, Miss Maloney. LUNCHROOM STAFF How would you like to entertain 2,500 people for dinner five days a week? The lunchroom staff performs this near-mirac- ulous feat, preparing and serving food for hungry hordes and cleaning up after them. These people also prepare refresh- ments for teas and other school functions. They perform a truly outstanding service, one which does not go unrecognized. Row I: Mrs. Flynn, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. Curtis, Miss Cronan, Mrs. Sennott (Dietitian), Mrs. Greeme, Mrs. Hurley, Mrs. Currie. Row 2: Mrs. Reposa, Mrs. Langdon, Mrs. Cunneen, Mrs. McGrail, Mrs. Donovan, Mrs. McCuritry, Mrs. Karr, Mrs. Macaulay. Row 3: Mrs. Dalrymple, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Young, Mrs. McKnight, Mrs. O’Conner, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Iangney, Mrs. Orff.

SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT The admonition of the Roman histo- rian Tacitus, “Think of your forefathers! Think of your posterity!” could well be the motto of the social studies depart- ment, whose responsibility it is to teach us our national and cultural background so that we may understand our place in the modern world and do our part to form our nation’s future. The history stu- dent is pleased to discover that the dates, events, and people, so forbidding in the texts and charts, come to life as part of the fascinating story of man’s successes, failures, and gradual progress. This de- partment teaches a subject of great im- portance as long as men remember that “All past is a prelude” or, in the words of a Washington cabbie, “Brother, you ain ' t seen nothin ' yet.” Row 1: Mr. W. Smith, Miss Weeden, Mrs. Manley, Mr. Merrill (Head of Dept.), Mrs. Hartley, Miss McCabe. Row 2: Mr. Dobras, Mr. Coe, Mr. How- ard, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Meyers, Mr. Wright. HOMEMAKING “Charity begins at home,” according to the old proverb. A great many other desirable attitudes and habits are also developed in a well-run home, the cornerstone of our society. The homemaking de- partment teaches girls cooking, sewing, and other aspects of home maintenance, the skills which will enable them to become homemak- ers fully prepared to run their homes smoothly and efficiently. The members of this department have chosen a difficult and important task. We think they have done it well. Row 1: Miss Egan, Miss Cronan (Head of Dept.), Miss South. Row 2: Mrs. Sennott, Mrs. Atwood. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Emphasis on practical achievement and vocational training char- acterizes the work of the industrial arts department, headed by Mr. Edmunds. Boys receive experience with many tools in courses in- cluding mechanical drawing, auto shop, wood, electricity, and metal work. In addition, the driver education and driver training courses offered by this department help develop the fundamental skills and attitudes necessary for safe driving. In short, this department not only teaches basic mechanical techniques but also develops in its stu- dents a sense of pride in their achievement. Row 1: Mr. Couture, Mr. Edmunds (Head of Dept.), Mr. Beauchemin, Mr. Bowler. Row 2: Mr. Foster, Mr. Ford, Mr. McCabe. FOREIGN LANGUAGES This department speaks for itself — in four different languages. Students learn through speaking — even Latin students chorus “hie, haec, hoc” with remarkable fluency — writing, and reading. As they acquire a knowledge of the structure of a language, they gain an insight into the people and customs of a country. This is Mr. Mather’s first year as head of the foreign language department, and he has done an excellent job. Active participa- tion in language clubs and newspapers, together with multilingual greetings in the halls are indications of students’ en- thusiastic response to the work of this department. Row 1: Mrs. Hoyt, Miss Tondreau, Miss McKenna, Mr. Mather (Head of Dept.), Miss Douglass, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Rodriguez. Row 2: Dr. Shepard, Miss Dragonas, Mrs. Piazza, Mr. Ethier, Mr. Friedland, Mr. Goodrich, Miss Bridey, Miss Manter, Mr. Belo- cas.
