Through imagination and hard work... DR. BRUCE E. BROWN 1958-1961 Dentist DR. CHESTER W. HOLMES, Superintendent of the Malden Public School De¬ partment, has maintained the highest possible educational standards during his fourteen years of devoted service. Our School Committee Our School Committee, Mr. Leonard J. Mullen, Jr., chairman. Dr. Bruce E. Brown, Mrs. Bertha L. Gordon, Mrs. Marguerite Hol¬ land, and Mr. George E. Lodgen, meets at least once a month. The committee has taken advantage of Public Law 864 of the National Defense Act, by which funds have been as¬ signed by the Federal Government for added work in languages, science, mathematics, testing, and guidance. Under Public Law 874, which provides a reimbursement from the Federal Government for each student whose parent works on a defense project, the city received $70,000 last year. A new salary scale has been adopted which goes into effect in September of 1960. It raises the minimum to $4,100 and the maxi¬ mum to $6,300. More funds have been al¬ lotted for the replacement of old text books and refurnishing of classrooms. The latest school construction, the new wing of the Daniels School, was opened in May of 1959. The students and parents in Malden cer¬ tainly appreciate the imaginative and indus¬ trious work of Dr. Holmes and the School Committee. MR. RICHARD KELLIHER, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, supervises the distribution of funds received under Public Laws 874 and 864.

From test tubes to typewriters . . . The M. H. S. Secretaries Help the Faculty They say that In back of every suc¬ cessful man there is a woman and Mr. Mat¬ thews has not one but three. These are the three efficient office secretaries, Miss Mabel McQuesten, Mrs. Helen Hills, and Miss Eunice Young, who help keep the school running smoothly. However, Mr. Matthews is not the only one who has secretaries, for many other members of the faculty have student secre¬ taries to help them. Some work S period, others work in their spare periods, but all work after school. Each of them receives 75 f. an hou r. For instance Jean Arthur, Mr. Chris¬ tian ' s handy-man , arrives each morning at 6:30 and can be found doing anything from dusting to preparing solutions. Most of the girls do secretarial work such as typing and bookkeeping, but others like Mr. Web¬ ster ' s secretaries, Claire Boudreau and Flor¬ ence Pike, sell candy as one of their jobs; and Jean Principato, Miss Grace ' s assistant, has the responsibility of arranging one of the first floor showcases. Surely Malden High will always be a successful school with such secretaries as these! IS JOHN SMITH THERE? asks Miss Eun¬ ice Young. Calling homerooms is only one of her duties, for she is also head of the stenography and typing department. MISS MABEL MCQUESTEN, our only full time office secretary, types col¬ lege transcripts, in addition to writing up the daily bulletin, assigning substitutes, and taking care of Mr. Matthew ' s correspondence. MRS. HELEN HILLS, looking through the index file, is responsible for academic records and class standings. She also teaches stenography and typing.
