of Malden Itself o Between 2:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M. the average M.H.S. student is influenced by the roots and the personality of the coun¬ try and Malden itself. Running frantically to catch that bus, relaxing at Brigham s with friends and a cool soda, working over an untiring cash register at one of our mar¬ kets, buried in thought, scaling stones on the Reservoir, in the hospital just up the hill, each one of us is spreading a little sunshine by his volunteer work, that strange sensation of dangling between childhood and adulthood, that special somebody we care about, the doubts, the movies, the outings, the draft, the family, the snowstorms, that source theme that is due in two weeks, the haircuts, the perma¬ nents, the cemeteries, the birthdays, the crushing problems found in the headlines of the Malden News; these are our roots. MALDEN ' S TOWERING CHURCH SPIRES sym¬ bolize the many faiths existing at M.H.S. MALDEN SQUARE provides us with ample room to eat while studying, shopping, and socializing. TRUE DEMOCRACY IN ACTION finds senior council members under Miss Norton ' s direction counting ballots for their class elections. 13

We Shall Always Remember You, ’Top” Mr. Taylor, we couldn ' t let your final year at Malden High go by without recog¬ nizing your forty-two years of dedicated service. AflFectionately known as Pop and often called Dad, you have been like a father to many M.H.S. ' ers over the years. Many of your students and col¬ leagues have been grateful to you during the past twenty-eight years, while you led the Industrial Arts Department. The ability and success of your rifle teams has been recognized and rewarded on a national basis for the past thirty-seven years. We shall never forget your friendly attitude, interest, and able assistance. FOR HE ' S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW ... is how Pop Taylor ' s Rifle Club members feel about him. The adviser to the Rifle Club for over thirty-five years, he was presented with a gold watch at the annual Christmas party on December 20, 1962. NEVER ATTEMPT ANYTHING WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE ... is Pop Taylor ' s favorite expression. The truth of this expression is shown here with his son Ray at Moosehead Lake many years ago. 14
