Malden High School - Maldonian Yearbook (Malden, MA)

to derma to Here at Malden High, we are be¬ coming more and more interested in science. A large number of students take at least one of the courses offered; biology, chemistry, physics, general sci¬ ence, aeronautics, radio, electricity, mechanics or meterology. The physics students are enthusi¬ astic over the new text, “High School Physics,” by Blackwood, for its lively illustrations, frequent references to sports, and simple and direct style. This year many interested students entered the Science Fair, under the direction of Mr. Gilchrist. Here the student makes an exhibit illustrating a general scientific principle. As there must be ten entries, this year’s exhibit helped to stir up interest, so that next year M.H.S. may enter the competi¬ tion. However, David Kaufman’s ex¬ hibit of a square wave analyzer was exhibited in the M.I.T. Globe Science Fair on April 24th, 25th and 26th. The members of the weather bureau are as follows: Front row, left to right: Robert Coughlin, Arnold Sobel, Bernard Basch, Carol Newell. Second row, standing: Arthur Kelley, Carol Stor¬ mont, Dominic Tamagna, Leonard Lewis, June Hawker, Joan Hawker. Back row: Benjamin Kelerjian, Miss Slattery, Mor¬ ton Titelbaum, Arthur Poirier, Robert Kennison, Fred Shaw, Florence Stickney. Elaine Malitsky collects C02 in Mr. Chrisian’s 1st period class as John Jacobs and Norma Moorehead gaze at the bubbles.

The Health Department has an im¬ portant place in the school. It checks the health status of every student with the Massachusetts vision test, the pure tone audiometer test, and the patch tuber¬ culin test. The health of all students is guar ded by having a graduate nurse, Miss Crowe, in residence. This year health is an elective subject for juniors and seniors. The emphasis is on human personality, human relations, especially adjustments to other people, community health agencies, and methods of family medical care. This year’s course has been revised to help stu¬ dents meet their responsibilities as work¬ ers, future citizens and parents. Virginia Smith is discussing health prob¬ lems in Mrs. Parker’s first period health class. Miss Crowe, among her other duties, is shown here during the yearly ritual of eye¬ testing working with Joan Abatematteo. [ 22 ]
