Sidewalk superintendents, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Thurlow, and Mr. Harris survey the construction which will come under their authority in the fall of 1964. Our principal and his right- hand men have enabled us to adjust to this year’s crowded conditions while planning the administration of an expanded high school. Mr. Coffin, a new addition to our guidance staff, chats with Mrs. Blythe. Our guidance staff grows with each year in order to provide individual assistance to any student. Mr. Cuzner and Mr. Krichman, who have their offices in room 23, assist juniors in their search for proper colleges that will fulfill their personal needs. Mrs. Craig is always eager to assist any senior girl in search of her help concerning any phase of her college preparation whether it be college boards, applications, or interviews.

The English Department must work untiringly with every student from sophomore to senior and at every level. It is remarkably well-staffed for the task, being a functional mixture of experienced and knowledgeable, youthful and inventive. The best example of versatility is set by the department head, Mr. Cheever, who is equally at home with Homer (in the original Greek) or William Faulkner. Mr. Rutherford, also an accomplished teacher, works ceaselessly with the student who is slow but willing to learn. chasing the commas A quiet, precise man by nature, Mr. Bagley is anything but timid when he wields his heavy red pencil. Many sophomores and juniors are well aware that poor diction and awkward construction cannot escape Mr. Bagley’s appraising eye. Dr. Satz, the only Ph.D. on the staff, comes from Revere where he was formerly a vice-principal. His backlog of teaching experience gives the impression that he could and would teach English under any imaginable condition—and teach it well. Considered a “slave driver” by her sophomores, Miss Smith has burst into Lexington from a background of junior high teaching in Brookline and a city high school in Cleveland, Ohio. Her immediate adjustment to Lexington life has surprised even the most active teachers, and one wonders, after her assuming the yearbook advisorship in her first year, what activities she will be heading up in the years to come.
