One of the main reasons for the uncompromisingly high academic standards at Cambridge High is the calibre of its faculty. From the administration down to the individual teacher, the faculty is, to a man, well- trained and well-educated, ready to meet any demand made upon their abilities to teach. Few vocations require the individual flexibility demanded of teachers, for an inquiring mind is perhaps the hardest of creatures to satisfy. To the observer, the faculty seems a closely-knit body, as indeed it is. Shared among teachers are all the trials and tribulations of teaching as well as the sweet feeling of accomplishment when a lesson is well-taught and the students understand. Teaching is the ideal profession only for those who FACULTY love it. The minimum requirements are four years of college with an immediate beginning of the study which leads to the master’s degree. But the standards are an absolute necessity to maintain the academic atmos- phere of the school at its highest level. Through the years Cambridge High has maintained this atmosphere, and many graduates from the Dorchester area have gone into business, science, and the arts to become leaders in their fields. Many a successful businessman owes his success to the quality of education he received as a stu- dent at Cambridge High School. It is possible to educate one’s self, but how much easier the task becomes when a teacher is there to lead the way!
