Our Social Roots THE VICTORY DANCE and other class activities during the year, such as the senior play, junior varieties, and the sophomore dance, entertain us and supply outlets for our exuberance. ALL ATHLETIC EVENTS, from football to tennis, offer an ex¬ cellent program of exercise, team-work, and good sports¬ manship to all students who maintain good to average scholastic grades. At school, our social roots affect our lives. Sports and dances give us an outlet for our emotions. Our clubs and musical or¬ ganizations not only give us an opportu¬ nity to serve the school and community but also enable us to experience the satisfac¬ tion of perserverance, discipline, and team¬ work. Through our many school publica¬ tions, we students may take an active part in displaying our literary talent and in practicing the right of freedom of the press by voicing opinions on current issues — local, national, and international. What would we do without the lunch period? These precious few minutes are spent do¬ ing homework, visiting, gossiping, and above all eating with our friends. Yes, our social roots are an important and integral part of our lives at M.H.S. Right: THE BAND, ORCHESTRA, AND VOCAL SO¬ CIETIES OF M.H.S. help to entertain us throughout the community as well as in the school. 10

Malden Has an Ideal Location for Study THIS NOVEMBER, MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL played host to hundreds of parents at the first annual Parents ' Night. At this event, the parents of the students relived former school days by following the schedule of their children. Left: PRETTY AGUSTA HARALDSDOTTIR, the first ex¬ change student to study at M.H.S. poses with Mr. Kelli- her and two of her friends. Gusto arrived in this coun¬ try on July 31, 1962 from Reykjavik, Iceland, and will remain here until this July. In August she came to Mal¬ den to live with Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Cary from Centre Methodist Church, whose youth groups sponsored her. Although at first the language barrier was difficult, Gusto overcame it and has found this year most profit¬ able and interesting. AS THE 1962-1963 SURVEY of Malden High School draws to a close, Headmaster Webster presents Mr. Daniel Al¬ bino, chairman of the committee, with a handsome gavel. MR. DREY DISTRIBUTES THE TESTS by which each student is marked and evaluated. The students and guidance counsellors use these tests in planning for the future. 9
