Whether it be in his capacity of adminis¬ trator or that of a classroom teacher we have found our assistant principal always ready to lend a helpful and guiding hand. Modern education now recognizes co-curricular activ¬ ities as a primary function of the high school program to Mr. Higgiston has been en¬ trusted the management of the vast amount of funds involved in these transactions. Mr. Moran is our director of guidance. He gave us immeasurable help in finding positions and applying for them. For those of us who are going further to school, his great library of pamphlets was always at our disposal. Con¬ stantly he helped us in deciding what type of future we could expect after graduation. 14

Just one look at this photo of admirable teachers confirms cur opinion that they are the most intelligent and the most understanding people we know. Somehow we instinctively realize all their heroic qualities. For don ' t we recognize persistence and perseverance as they try to pound, with the force of incessant repetition, knowledge into our heads? And don ' t we perceive their tolerance when they see our blank expressions? And don ' t they prove that they ' re intelligent and understanding when we present our feeble excuses? Yes! In doing so, they set for us a perfect formula for success and happiness. In our hearts there lies a certain admiration, respect, and affection for these teachers whom we have worked with for four years. As authoritative elders we respect them as cultured teachers and co-operative friends we admire them. They can never know how much we appreciate all that they have done for us. They can never know how we have profited under their instruction. Leaving M.H.S. means leaving them. But we will take with us, into the future, all that they have taught. 13

Mr. Sweeney has been our director of audio¬ visual education. His have been the duties of arranging for the presentation of films which are related to the classroom work in each subject- matter field. The area of audio-visual education is comparatively new, but M.H.S. has made great strides and future plans would indicate even more important improvements in the years to come. Mrs. Breault is our sympathetic school nurse. She cured all our cuts and bruises, in order to keep us from missing any of our classes. In this respect, of course, she was a great help to Mr. Vesperi, our attendance officer. Mr. Vesperi also is in charge of our cafeteria, which is quite a job in itself. Although both have many reasons to throw up their hands in despair, they are always helpful and courteous whenever we need their service. 15
