Us Help Ourselves This year the M.H.S. Guidance Department, under the new director T. Franklin Grady, added to the staff two new members. Miss Nancy Brown, counselor for Juniors, and Mr. Paul Royte, counselor for the Seniors. We students have shown our appreciation for this excellent department by our active patronage. Through the combined efforts of the counselors to aid each student in developing the best of his potential, they have succeeded in helping countless members. There are many services which the Guidance De¬ partment performs. It evaluates the scores of the tests given by Miss Arline Walton, Director of Test¬ ing, and aids us in planing for the future. It counsels us in our numerous personal problems both at home and in school. It schedules college lectures to inform us. It helps us find jobs after school, during the sum¬ mer and after graduation. It takes a particular interest in aiding those of us who, for economic reasons, find it necessary to leave school. There is no select group with whom Guidance prefers to work. It is interested in every student at M.H.S. and invites everyone to visit the counselors frequently so that the guidance offices will become as familiar to the student as a water fountain in the corridor. AT A MEETING OF THE M.H.S. GUIDANCE DEPART¬ MENT in the director’s office, Mr. Grady reports fewer failing marks than ever to his staff: Mr. Paul Royte, Miss Barbara Norton, Miss Edna Turkington, Dean of Girls, and Miss Nancy Brown. T. FRANKLIN GRADY, the former Randolph Guidance Director, succeeds Doctor Helene Moore as Director of Guidance in Malden’s Public Schools. This energetic counselor and unremitting worker has fast become one of M.H.S.’s most popular personalities in the eyes of teachers and students alike.

Aided by the Faculty . . . M.H.S. Executives Plan For the Present MR. ROBERT PERRY, Senior Class Master, spends many weeks each year planning the school program. MR. ABRAHAM OXMAN runs a busy office that sell everything from football tickets to milk cartons. MR. CLARKE BROOKES SHOWS CONCERN FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS OF HIS SOPHOMORES. Planning our education is a diffi¬ cult task. A program and calendar must be adopted. Courses of Studies must be organized. Instruction ma¬ terials have to be acquired. Helping to facilitate the planning are the Class Masters: Mr. Perry for the seniors, Mr. Boyle for the juniors, Mr. Brookes for the sophomores; Mr. Oxman, the Faculty Manager of Athletics; and the School Direc¬ tors. Mr. Perry spends many weeks planning the program, juggling students from period to period. Ar¬ ranging the school calendar is Mr. Brookes, coordinator of non-athletic activities. Mr. Oxman is not only in charge of scheduling athletic events but also is Director of School Selling. One of the busiest offices in the school is that of Mr. Boyle who is in charge of boys’ attendance and tardiness. It is with the aid of the school directors that M.H.S. has become one of the best schools in the state. MALDEN SCHOOL DIRECTORS who are con¬ nected with the high school and have contributed much to its success are Mrs. Dorothy Dennis, Physical Handicapped; Dr. Herbert Silverman, Music; Miss M. Adelia Johnson, Art; Dr. Mary Spencer, School Health; and Miss Caro Grace, Instruction Materials. 24 MR. ARTHUR BOYLE replaces Mr. Webster as Junior Class Master.
