ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The ability to speak and write good English is indispensable ° to any profession or occupation. The English department of Classical High School, with Mr. Edwin Smith as chairman, teaches students to speak and write our language with profici- ency. A class in journalism is provided for those interested in newspaper writing and a Special English class is available to students wishing to concentrate on literature. English will be of paramount importance in determining future jobs, and full advantage should be taken of our English course. Although we lost four excellent teachers when Miss Porter, Mr. Jeffrey, Mr. Fenner, and Mr. Pease retired, we have been fortunate in securing Dr. McGuire and Miss Dickerman as replacements. The members of the English department now are Mr. Edwin Smith, chairman, Miss Teresa Boylan, Miss Ruth Dickerman, Dr. James McGuire, Dr. Aileen O’Grady, and Miss Christine Sauer. 16 Miss Ruth Dickerman came to us in January.

Mr. William Finn and Mrs. Dorothy Bemis, our guidance counselors. COUNSELORS The doors to 109 and 110 are always open for any Classical student desiring aid in choosing a college, making out a program, or finding a job. These are only a few of the problems solved by Classical’s understanding and friendly counselors, Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn. Their numerous duties include securing scholar- ships and financial aid for stu- dents wishing to go to college, supervision of various tests given during the year, conferences with parents, and arranging for college representatives to meet with our students. In spite of their busy day, Mrs. Bemis and Mr. Finn always have time to aid any student, and Classical wishes to thank them for all the assistance they have given. 15 COUNSELORS Mrs. Bemis and Judith Mattison chat about Judith’s plans for college. Mrs. Anna Coleman, our nurse, and Dr, Nathaniel Bennett, our doctor.
