Mr. Earl Flagg — Print Shop INDUSTRIAL ARTS MR. CHARLES QUINLAN Head of Department Here is the hub of activity: of power saws and metal casting, of printing presses and automobile en- gines. While upstairs we find a quiet atmosphere of drawing boards and budding draftsmen, the lower rooms of the Industrial Arts Department are filled with the steady hum of machinery. It is here that a boy puts into operation a God-given gift, the gift of mechanical skill. The hand creates a tool or the eye perceives a flaw in an engine. . . . The boy works hard from day to day toward a most important goal. Industry watches, applauds, and awaits the finished product — a technically skilled young man. Mr. Thomas Dickson — Machine Shop Mr. William Powers — Metal Shop Mr. William Milish — Auto Mechanics Mr. Francis Skinner — Mechanical Drawing

Mrs. Avis Alcott Mr. Leslie Faulkner BUSINESS Miss Rose Miss Mary MacDonnell Take a letter. Miss Jones! . . . No strike-overs please! . . . Feet flat on the floor when typing! . . . Oh, gosh! There goes another fingernail! These are the echoes of the secretarial rooms. They reflect the atmosphere of the Business Department. The offices of America seek well-groomed, efficient secretaries. Under Miss Goyette's able direc- tion the graduates of Business Education will more than meet these requirements. MISS IMELDA GOYETTE

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Helen Foland Mr . Jyle Malone Mr. James Penders Mr. Pat Caseria The mind works best when the body is sound. The Physical Education Department — through exercise, competitive sports, and a little sage advice — shows us that there is a close relationship between intellectual growth and physical well-being. LIBRARIANS The library presents a pic- ture of quiet academic pursuit. The notable thoughts, records, and achievements of the past and present are found here. Ably assisted by our librar- ians, students find the refer- ence materials? needed to sup- plement and clarify their classroom work. Mrs. Frances Waters Miss Gladys Stork The office with its records, supplies, and that medieval hardwood bench, is the center of school life. Our com- petent staff — amidst the confusion of attendance cards, demerits, and bus tickets — finds time to answer that vital question of student or teacher. Mrs. Emma Frattaroli Miss Mary Ann Carroll OFFICE STAFF Miss Jean Molgard, Mrs. Pat Yatsinko
