MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE Our Mathematics and Science Departments have done an excellent job in keeping pace with the many changes and developments which have taken place in these fields. We are justly proud of the advanced courses which were instituted this year, but we are prouder still of the fact that these departments give each student the opportunity to develop his talents fully.

Coogan SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department prepares us for life in an ominous world, one in which our freedom is constant- ly under attack. Realizing, as our forefathers did, that we cannot be free without education, the department seeks to instruct us in our own way of life and to give us an understanding of the ways of others. It is this depart- ment which trains us to live up to the responsibilities of a democracy. Miss Dorothy J. Truskolaski Mr. Harry C. Damon Mr. Henry M. Doyle Y) Miss Mary E.

ADMINISTRATION Dr. George C. Roy Mr. Henry M. Doyle The work of our administrators is exemplified by the efficient organization and operation which characterize our school system; their endeavors, however, do not cease at this point. Each of these people—Dr. Roy, Mr. Vel- lante, Mr. Doyle, and Mrs. Barrett—gives a part of him- self in unfailing efforts to help all students and to offer them guidance and understanding whenever they seek it. We, the Seniors, will always be grateful to them for the unceasing and tireless work which they have done for us and for the entire student body. Mrs. Mary M. Barrett Mrs. Dorothy Thumith and Mrs. Irene McDonough

Mr. Leo J. Dugas Mrs. Barbara George Mr. Francis D. Flanagan LANGUAGES The importance of acquiring a good working knowl- edge of English cannot be overemphasized. Yet, since the United States is becoming increasingly involved in for- eign affairs, it is also necessary that we, as Americans, obtain some knowledge of foreign languages. Four year programs in French, Latin and Spanish en- able students not only to learn the fundamentals of the foreign languages but also to apply this acquired knowl- edge in reading and conversations. BUSINESS The economy of this country would no t function with- out vital clerical skills and a basic knowledge of business and economics. Many persons outside the business world find typing an invaluable personal aid. The members of the business department have been doing their part in ful- filling these needs by training the students to function ef- fectively in a business world or in their own personal lives. “TI got 22 shaves out of the ‘beep-beep’ blade.” Future Secretaries of America?
