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.

Shailer House Katherine Ginty Housemaster Lyman Avery Assistant Housemaster To Shailer House, Class of 1961, Many changes have taken place in this world since September, 1957, when you first entered Brookline High School as a class. There have been social changes, geographical changes, and political changes in these past four years. All of you, who are little worlds within yourselves, have experienced changes too. You have grown from boys and girls to young men and women; you have developed social graces and made new friends; you have acquired academic knowledge; you have experienced sportsmanship and developed skill on the athletic fields; you have won honors for yourselves and for your school in competitive tests; you have learned to live together respecting one another as persons. The time has now come when you will go your different ways; some to continue academic pursuits; some to engage in the business world; some to join the armed forces. You are the f irst class to go out into the New Frontiers of the nineteen sixties. You are told that courage, judgment, integrity, and dedication are the human qual- ities needed to face these new frontiers. It is a thrilling age you are looking forward to — perhaps hazardous — but the spirit of adventure is still strong in the human soul. This is the age of the young and you are the selected young who will contribute to the exploration of space, who will assist in gaining freedom and opportunities for all peoples, who will provide the human needs for those who are deprived. Our blessing goes with you. May you have faith — faith in God, faith in your- selves, and faith in your fellowmen. t We’ve had a blast, how about you?
