M.Jf.S. ■AdlxHi 7a Road Our maintenance staff consists of (first row): Thomas Lynch, Kenneth Buckley, William Ireland, David Leonard; (second row) Leslie Roger, John Knapp, Ben Greeley, and Roy Finn. Absent are Lena Farrahar and Mary Wells. MRS. DOROTHY F. KELLEY is our regular substitute teacher. She attended the University of New Hampshire from which she earned her B. A. When Mrs. Kelley isn’t replacing someone on the M. H. S. faculty, she enjoys her hobbies of braiding rugs, and reading. This year, as in past years, much sickness among our teachers kept our subs busy. Student-driver education is a new course, which has been added to the extra-curricular activity of M. H. S. For a number of years the Massachu¬ setts Registry of Motor Vehicles has endorsed student-driver education in the high school. As this is completely new to us here, only an impartially selected number of seniors have been chosen to take it. Mr. Irmin Pierce, the instructor, who is authorized by the Massachusetts Registry, has found the course very interesting to teach. For an hour a week, each student drives the ’53 dual-control Ford, and on Wed¬ nesday afternoons all meet for two hours of classroom instruction in Room 325. It is hoped that this course will be continued for years to come, and that as a result, M. H. S. students will be better drivers. Mr. Pierce, head of the Driver Education Class, seemed to be say¬ ing “Contrary to popular belief, one must stop at a red light.” [ 29 ]

eM cm 4. hatching. M. eft. S. 1. Frances Amaru anxiously awaits the verdict as Miss Palmer looks over her work in typing class. Let’s hope her letter has less than three mistakes so it will be acceptable. Practice is important for profi¬ ciency in typing. 2. Here we have a class busy at work. Must be a diffi¬ cult test in the offering. Mr. Queally’s general math class seems to be taking the challenge quite seriously. At least they look pretty studious at the moment. Here’s hoping their work brings good results. 3. Miss Crowe testing again. This is MJH.S. calling. “Hello, testing, 1-2-3-4” Here are some of the sen¬ iors taking the tone audiometer test under the care¬ ful supervision of our school nurse. This is done each year for the students’ benefit. 4. “Be careful with those pins! That isn’t a dummy up there.” Sewing classes come in mighty handy when you’re worrying about that new spring ward¬ robe. Here we see a skirt being tried on for size, while others are still being stitched. [SO]
