Serving many purposes . Gur S Period Buzz s With Activit With scarcely a moment to catch our breath, we hurriedly iam our books into our already-crowded desks. We then spend a quiet moment in prayer along with our classmates before be- ginning the day's activities. At 8:06, S period flies in, heralded by announcements over our public address system-perhaps an ingenious commercial for a future class function, sometimes tol- lowed by an admonition from our Headmaster. Close on the heels of the last announcement comes the passing bell. Flinging a library slip on our teacher's desk, or perhaps mumbling some- thing about a committee meeting, we dash into the corridor which is already buzzing with excitement. Soon, however, the confusion diminishes, meetings come to order, vocal chords be- gin working in the music room, and ambitious typists can be STUDY STUDY, STUDY! The school library is a very handy place to go for stu- dents who have tests to study for, source themes to do, or extra time to read. y K . iiiffsif 255 heard pounding away at their keyboards. The school library is a typical example of S periods well spent. Some of us do last- minute bibliographies for our source themes while others study for tests. The art room also paints a colorful picture as commit- tee members work hard and fast to finish decorations for one of the school's big dances. Those of us who don't leave our homerooms to take part in S period activities are by no means left out of the business of the school. As we try to concentrate on our assignments, we are forever being called upon to donate to charity drives, pay class dues, or buy tickets for school functions. Tired minds, tired feet and worn-out wallets result from S period affairs. i i 1 t , , DISTINGUISHED GUEST! ln January, M.H.S. students had the pleasure of listening to Congressman Torbert MacDonald tell of his trip to Antartica.

Ready to work . . We Arrive From ll Parts of Malden As we make our way through the crowd of chattering students gathered in front of M.H.S., it is obvious that the collegiate look has struck Malden High. The boys are seen with their crew-cuts, smart ivy-league shirts, pencil- striped slacks with the conventional buckle in the back, and brown bucks, the girls are wearing bulky sweaters, pleated plaid skirts knee-sox and clean white bucks. This is the way we look-in the school corridors, in classes, at club meetings and at dances-laughing, singing, enthusi- astic teenagers with a world of ideas for the future. ln the crisp autumn, snowy winter and warm and often rainy spring, most of us arrive at 7:45 from all parts of the city, by bus, car or the old reliable way-walking. We usually get talking about dates, tests, how the team made out last Saturday or all that homework we did the prev- ious night. Before long, we realize that it's almost 8 o'clock, so we rush into school, gallop down the corridor, rip off our jackets, stuff our lunches and gym clothes into our lockers and jump into our seats just in time for the final bell. jWhew!D DON'T BE LATE, IT STARTS AT 8I Members of each class use the P.A. system to advertise their class activities. PLEASE EXCUSE JOHNNY- During the middle of October, an outbreak of an upper respiratory disease , believed to be the Asiatic flu, reached its peak. M.H.S. absentees reached a record high of 500. Here students are waiting to be admitted by Miss Turkington and Mr. Perry. 11
