Adviser Joseph D Hoague Director of Physical Education and Athletics, Varsity Football Coach The Alternate College Preparatory Curriculum prepares students for college with a greater variety of courses than the straight College Preparatory Curriculum offers. The choice of electives, which can run the gamut from salesmanship to Latin to phys- ics, is combined with definite requirements in English, mathematics, and social studies. This curriculum requires an additional year of study before a student can enter a four year college or may lead directly into junior college. The College Preparatory Curriculum is provided for students definitely intending to go on to college. Its requirements are stricter than those of the other curricula; foreign languages, sciences, mathematics, history, and English in larger amounts are required. Here the necessary mathematics courses are in four year sequences rather than in one year courses as in the other curricula. Marion E. Hume Commercial Geography and Typing John P.

Charles Dullea English Noah Fieldman Science The General Curriculum presents a basic grounding in English and social studies with a wide range of electives including art, business subjects, electricity, auto mechan- ics, shop clothing, foods and nursing, as well as the languages and sciences offered in the College Preparatory Curriculum. This General Curriculum furnishes a balanced and practical educational training for high school students.” The Business Curriculum offers a thorough training in the skills needed in both the accounting and the secretarial positions of industry. Surrounding a nucleus of English and social studies are commercial mathematics courses including bookkeeping and a rigorous sequence of typewriting and stenography. This introduction to the mercantile world leads to either secretarial placement or continued study in a busi- ness college. Claire J. Hanson School Nurse, Nursing and Health William E.

Larson Head Custodian Within the five language electives, sequences can be accelerated in Latin and French but not in the others. Also Melrose High provides four laboratory sciences: biology, chemistry, physics and physics II. In the final analysis, a student ' s college curriculum program can be determined by the requirements of college catalogs; all questions seem to be answered there! The guidance department with five counselors comes to the aid of the student in his original choice of a curriculum as well as in his later choice of particular courses. For junior and senior college-preparatory students the guidance office becomes head- quarters for information about the important college board tests, while it also keeps a large selection of college catalogs available and maintains folders on the opportunities in various vocations.
