Social Studies PAUL MONAHAN Social Studies, Senior Class Advisor The social studies department presents a wide selection of programs for its students. For those who are not fascinated by such topics as the fall of the Roman Empire, physical features of Madagascar, or urban renewal, be patient, for something more entertaining is certain to ap¬ pear. It may be a movie of last week’s football game, a Senior Scholastic with sections on jokes and teenage problems, or a class discussion on high school romances. All these things are classified under that important part of learn¬ ing known as social studies. JAMES CONFORTI Civics, Mathematics CLARA STEWART Art ETTA HANLEY Art DAVID JOHNSON Social Studies john McCarthy Social Studies, Football, Baseball, Var¬ sity Coach; Junior Class Advisor Art Room The art room is the beginning of what is for many an interesting and exciting career. Here the students learn to capture in a sketch or a painting the beauty they see in the world, and make it live. The art department tries to lay a foundation so that its student will someday know the satisfaction of turning emotion into substance, the in¬ tangible into the tangible.

JAMES CONROY Mathematics, Head Mathematics Department JOHN CROKE Mathematics Mathematics Mathematics is a science, a language, path¬ way to reality and to the realm of the imaginary: the reality of solids and every¬ day functions and the unreal numbers such as “i” whose credibility is left in the hands of one’s imagination. Whether bisecting an angle, or isolating real and imaginary roots, students are en¬ couraged to find a solution with the aid of theorems and axioms, always asking “Why is this true?” The mathematics department tries to cultivate in them the products of logic and reason combined with an appre¬ ciation for the means of simplifying the phenomena of the universe, mathematics. LEO BERNIER Mathematics, Sophomore Class Advisor ALEXANDER JOHNSON General Mathematics EDWARD WRIGHT Automotive, Mechanical Drawing DONALD TRIPP Industrial Arts Auto Shop The auto shop is synonymous with hard work and newfound re¬ sponsibility. Here, in a world in¬ habited by earnest, budding mechanics, the student learns to quickly transfer his fundamental knowledge to practical applications. Whereas in the college curriculum the student accumulates learning, often with no discernible goal, a member of the auto shop is im¬ mediately capable of testing, con¬ structing, or fixing through his knowledge. 17

ELAINE DeROCHER Typewriting, Shorthand ROBERT BANNISTER Business, Driver Training Business Theirs is a different world than that of test tubes and logarithms. It re¬ sounds to the ring of a ty pewriter car¬ riage, the scribble of pencils busily taking shorthand, and the endless prac¬ ticalities of office practice. Indeed the word practicalities seems to be forever in the minds of those who inhabit these halls. It forms the basis for an un¬ ceasing preparation directed toward their stepping quickly and confidently from theory to actuality, sure in their ability to perform a job efficiently and thoroughly.
