Our classmasters and advisers are Clarke R. Brookes, F. Champlin Web¬ ster, Edna E. Turkington, Robert M. Perry. Beside teaching their own classes, our Class Masters have a full schedule of guidance before them. Not only do they help with the arranging of the students’ programs and their future education plans, but they also supervise attendance, extra curricula activities, and individual student problems. EDNA E. TURKINGTON Besides being head of the History Department, Miss Edna Turkington is also Dean of Girls. This latter task keeps her busy checking attendance and dismissals; helping students choose colleges and fill out applications. As if this is not enough, she is adviser to Usona. Often you will find her “burning the midnight oil” for M.H.S. ROBERT M. PERRY As Senior Class Master and Head of the Science Department, Mr. Perry is always on the go. He can be seen each morning admitting a line of boys who were absent, and he also distributes the school supplies every five weeks. The boys are fortunate to have him as a guidance counselor because his genial personality makes him a friend to all. CLARKE R. BROOKES Mr. Brookes, the Sophomore Class Master, is in charge of the disciplinary problems of all the boys in M.H.S. It is to him that the organizations must go to reserve the club room or the music room for meetings, or to use either of the auditoriums for programs. As co-ordinator of all non-athletic activities in the high school, he can be found en¬ joying himself at our dances and plays while he lends a helping hand. F. CHAMPLIN WEBSTER Mr. Webster, Junior Class Master, also serves as Faculty Manager of Athletics. Through his efforts the teams are supplied with the necessary equipment, schedules are arranged, and financial obligations met. He also supervises the tardiness in the high school and heavy storms this winter kept him quite busy. To top it all off, he serves as Head of the Latin Department. aaaibumta alunarre gxtt p «a [ 15 ]

Adeline Wetmore (Diu English roursr J. Russell Bowman Colleges: Lebanon Valley Col¬ lege, Harvard University A.B., Ph.D. Subjects: English. Extra Curricula Work: English Club. Hobbies: Gardening, reading. Colleges: Pembroke College, A.B.; Boston University, A.M. Subjects: English. Hobbies: The Theater. Deborah A. Young Colleges: Bates College A.B. Subjects: English. Extra Curri¬ cula Work: Adviser Class of 1954. Since a fine working knowledge of one’s native tongue is a basic need of every American, English is the most widely taught subject at Malden High. Everyone, especially in the college classes, reads many of the classics: Tale of Two Cities, The Ancient Mariner, Julius Caesar, MacBeth, House of Seven Ga¬ bles, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Sir Roger de Coverly Papers, The Return of the Native, The Forsyte Saga, Plays and the Theatre. To develop better speaking and writing, students read Speech for All, Essays and Essay Writing, Thought in English Prose, Learning to Write, and Enjoyment of Literature. In keeping with modern tastes and interests there are books on occupations, modern science, and Ameri¬ canism such as All in the Day’s Work, The Scientists Speak, Meet an American, Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens, Arrowsmith, Modern British and American Poetry. This year Mrs. Grace Ramsdell, formerly a pop¬ ular substitute, took the place of Miss Mary Kirby, who retired because of ill health. A misread sentence spoken by John Wood in “Doc” Bowman’s first period class brings laughs from many. [ 17 ]
