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.

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.

History through the pages of Ma- gruder, Levitt, Dorf. Several other visualized aids are also used informally by the students. Field trips to sites of historical interest and to our own city government are held for the college history students, while, because of 1948 being an election year, many general course classes started j)rojects on presidential candidates ami dark horse possibilities.
