n the Running of M.H.S By handling many routine school matters, the Class Masters take much of the burden of running Malden High from Mr. Webster and actually act as vice-principals. For some of them, their day begins even before 8:00 A M., when the)’ revel in some of the fantastic adventures found in the absentee excuses handed to them by long lines of returning boys and girls. During the course of the day the)- handle the many discipline problems that arise. Through their hands pass supplementary reports, unnaccountcd-for slips, and numerous other papers which must be read, signed and checked, time and time again. Our class masters have a double task, indeed, caring for the student body and teaching their regular classes. In a school the size of Malden High there is naturally a great amount of clerical work to be done. The main office, the scene of this labor, is constantly a hubub of activity as three phones ringing for attention interrupt the daily filing, typing, and dictation work of the four secretaries. These efficient workers, who also guard the numerous items which arc lost and found each year, run a prosperous business, renting ties for ever)’ type of shirt for five cents each. As early as 6:00 A.M., Miss McQucstcn is answering the calls of ailing teachers who call to tell her they will be absent. So aptly she says, There arc no dull moments around here.” Besides the professionals, over thirty student secretaries file, type, and perform other duties for faculty members during free periods and after school. TIME OUT FOR A FRIENDLY CHAT. Miss Edna Turkington, Dean of Girls who is in charge of girls' attendance and dismissals, talks with Mr. Robert Perry, Senior Class Master who handles senior discipline and also the distribution of all school supplies. COORDINATOR OF NON-ATHLETIC EVENTS. Mr. Clarke Brookes plans the school calendar. He also takes care of the sophomore discipline. We all welcome Mr. Brookes back after his long absence last fall. MR. BOYLES EXTRA-CURRICULAR STUDY GROUP is a lively bunch. Each boy meets with the group in 208 at 2:00 whenever Mr. Boyle decides that, by his behavior, he deserves a peaceful place to have some extra study time. JUNIOR CLASS MASTER, well-liked Mr. Arthur Boyle, checks his most wanted list. Mr. Boyle handles boys' attendance and all discipline for the junior class. 23
