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 ]
