A major problem of our country in 1957 has been that juvenile delinquency. Despite the combined eftorts of aychologists, social workers, law enforcement agencies and T.A.'s throughout the United States, the spread of this 'cial problem has not been checked. Fortunately, our own gh school has been comparatively free from the influence i iuvenile delinquency. For, Malden High is a different :hool , one which provides activities of every sort - 'hletic, cultural, musical, dramatic, artistic, and literary - ccupying the mind, the time, and the interest of every udent. Whether throwing forward passes, playing Hamlet, writing copy and captions, or harmonizing the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Malden High School members excel. They take great pride in being part of groups con- nected with Malden High. The Malden High School parade has not ended. lt will continue to grow and to influence the world as long as there are those with the desire to live, to laugh, and to learn. We wave our banner high in 1957, because we are proud -- proud of our country, our community, our school. Proud of our American heritage - the principles of which have made our country the symbol of freedom and hope to all the world. f Zz THE WEATHER BUREAU BOYS erect the first anemometer in 1945, for the purpose of measuring the velocity of the wind. Almost immediately after Pearl Harbor the govern- ment urged schools to establish courses in aeronautics and meteorology. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Annie E. Slattery, the first course started in the after- noons and gave no credit. With the help of many faculty members, airports and weath- er officials, the boys and Miss Slattery de- veloped the excellent basic equipment tor the Weather Bureau of today. Today, me- teorology is a full time course offering credit toward graduation and each day a most reliable forecast appears in the Malden News. 25
