Today . . . We Salute the M.H.S. Secretaries MISS LOUISE McMANUS, the substitute, work s in the main office when not filling in for an absent teacher. MRS. FRANCES JONES takes time out from making out college transcripts to rent a bare- coUared senior a specimen from the main office’s notoriously famous collection of hideous- looking ties. SHE PRACTICES WHAT SHE TEACHES! Mrs. Helen Hills, teacher of stenography, busies herself at the Kardex. THE STUDENT SECRETARIES, some destined for successful positions in the business world, perform services including typing, filing, mimeographing, and many other clerical jobs. Front row. S. Hill, S. Mc- Cusker, A. Mason, N. Lamb, J. Berg, S. Golomb, A. Leccese; Roir 2. M. Goldberg, R. Smith, L. Clarke, T. Broussard, N. Scott, F. Muse, J. McLaughlin, M. Sholder; Row J. P. Sullivan, L. Lehman, C. Coughlin, A. Peterson, S. Brown, S. Garfield, B. Strasnick. Behind every successful business man is his faithful, hardworking secretary. Too seldom is this field of work rec¬ ognized for its full value. A secretary must be a Jack of all Trades and must also be quick, alert, intelligent, and sociable. Besides rendering the usual services, the M.H.S. secretaries have the additional responsibilities for run¬ ning a Lost and Found Department, a Bureau for Displaced Lunches, and answering service for 1700 students and 90 teachers, and a tie-rental agency. To these fine persons, the entire popu¬ lation of M.H.S. owes its gratitude. 25

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. He has charge of Junior discipline and boys’ attendance and tardiness.
