Mm. Helen M. Ilill.t, Mis.i Mabel McQue.sten, Miss Eu¬ nice E. Young—what would we do without them? OFFICE STAFF At the mention of the “Big Three’’ most people immediately think of world eve nts, but we of Malden High are indebted to our own “Big Three’’—the Office Staff. Answering the tele¬ phone, making out the daily bulletin, giving afl- vice to veterans, paging “missing’’ persons over the loud speaker and making out class schedules are but a few of the many services this threesome performs daily. Always up to their necks in work, they are never too busy to offer friendly words of advice and answer all our anxious in¬ quiries about college board retpiirements, changes in program and many other questions. FACULTY ASSISTANTS “All that we are and all that we ever hope to be we owe to our assistants’’ echoes the facul¬ ty members in the words of Lincoln. Well per¬ haps not all, but without doubt those faculty assistants are indispensable, whether they file absence notes or clean test tubes. You may, on your way through the corridors, see one of these helpers in the Guidance Office, the Chemistry, Biology and Physics labs and also the efficient secretaries found in Rooms 109 and 110. Don’t you agree with the faculty that their efficiency rating is tops. ' rout Row: A. Morando, Mr. ’erry ' s Assistant, B. Sche- nack. Miss Turkiiigton’s As- iistaiit, K.

MR. CLARKE BROOKES Aiding the Surv ' ey Committee witli his accurate charts and records of classes and clul)s, this busy master is off to a good start in his new position of co-ordinating school activities. Besides his seemingly full-time job, Mr. Brookes finds the minutes to act as master of the Sophomore Class. MR. ARTHUR LARSEN Mr. Larsen has very capably filled Mr. Nash’s place as faculty manager. In this capacity one can find him in his office supervising the sale of tickets for all our sport events. Planning sports schedules, acting as master of the Junior Class, and teaching law and economics make Mr. Arthur Larsen one of our favorite and busiest teachers. Mr. Arthur M. L arsen Mr. Clarke R. Brookes Ma.ster and Facultij Manager of Athletics Ma.ster MR. ROBERT W. PERRY Senior Class IM aster Mr. Robert Perry, during the recent survey served as chairman of the committee on Curriculum and Courses of Study and was a member of the committee on School Adminis¬ tration and the Staff committee. Mr. Perry takes care of boys’ absences, and school supplies are dis¬ tributed through him. He makes out the programs of students and is the Science Department Head. MISS EDNA TURKINGTON Our congratulations go to Miss Edna Turk- ington, head of the history department, who since March 1947 has been Dean of Girls. Having charge of the girls’ absences, keeping files on all M.H.S. girls, and giving helpful talks to Senior girls on their college careers, did not prevent Miss Turkington from being chairman of the philosophy committee in the recent school survey. Miss Edna E. Turkington Dean of Girls Mr. Robert W. Perry Master M rs. Surah ll ay ford School Nurse MISS HELENE MOORE As director of the Guidance Department, Miss Moore has unselfishly aided the seniors in their preparation for the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Tests, Scholastic Aptitude Tests for college entrance, and the B. lb Battery Tests. Finding part time jobs for interested students, explaining test results to students are but a few of the many activities which keep iSIiss Moore forever busy. MRS. SARAH HAYFORD On .lanuary ' 29, 1948 our school nurse, who is also director of Malden’s school nurses, celebrated her 25th anniversary of serving as a nurse in our fair city. The tasks of keeping health records of all students, frequent di.scussions with parents and masters, and taking care of ill students make Miss Hayford an invaluable member of our school’s staff’. Miss Helene M oore Guidance Director

Young— English—Senior Adviser ENGLISH Thi.s year the English Dejtartnient ha.s introducetl many new method.s of .study to make its cour.ses more interesting for students. In the sophomore clas.ses, special work in speech and readings has been assigned. One of the sopho¬ more clas.ses illustrated the correct jtarliamentary procedure for carrying on a meeting in a recent as.sembly. Pupils who have failed English 2 and 3, have been given new texts in order to keep up their interest in the work. Records of readings of great poems and plays, such as Macbeth, have also been added to the curriculum and seem to be producing satisfactory results. Perfection in our own language is the aspiration of our progressive English Department.
