Mr. GEORGE HILL Boston University Social Studies Mr. Hill gives most of his time after school to helping with sport activities, such as seventh grade football, and the golf team. This seems very logical when we find much of his spare time is taken up with golf. Miss CLAIRE Me DONOUGH RadclifFe College Social Studies, English The eighth grade students are a lucky group to have a person like Miss McDonough as their advisor. The fact that she enjoys culture is expressed beautifully in her charming voice. ! MODERN PROBLEMS is a composite of history, so¬ ciology, economics, and philosophy. Much research and discussion characterize the work done in this class. By keeping up with developments in our swiftly changing world, we form the habit of reading newspapers daily. Mrs. ROSAMUND HOWE Radcliffe College Science, English Georgraphy, Arithmetic Mrs. Howe has perhaps the most varied teaching load in the faculty. When she isn ' t teaching, she likes to travel, or relax with a good book. Miss ELIZABETH HUNTER University of Virginia English, Social Studies, Human Relations Miss Hunter starts the eighth grade girls on the right foot through her understanding counseling. She enjoys sports and is often found at our sport events, but her chief sport is summer traveling. Miss BARBARA STILES Stanford University School of Humanities Geography Miss Stiles, a newcomer to Weston, is enjoyed because she is helpful and extremely co-operative. She enjoys the outdoors and belongs to the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Ameri¬ can Youth Hostels. - ' j , 7

Mr. JULIUS MUELLER Bates College Principal Mr. Mueller ' s administrative reserve only superficially covers a warm heart and friendly manner that shows itself in his sincere interest in each individual student, despite his manifold duties. Mr. WALLACE SAWYER University of New Hampshire Chemistry, Science Department Chairman Mr. Sawyer promotes the Science Fair with projects representing all grades. Two years ago he was selected as one of the two outstanding teachers in the field of science and mathematics in the state. Mrs. HELENE MINSKY Secretary Mrs. Minsky is busy keeping the of¬ fice running efficiently. She also finds time to show her interest in the stu¬ dents by attending all school events. Dr. ANTHONY G. L. BRACKETT Middlebury College Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brackett ' s time-consuming and laborious job of Superintendent of Schools is balanced with the quiet, summer seclusion of an island in Casco Bay where he enjoys living in the outdoors. In the winter Dr. Brackett enjoys meetings and concerts. Miss PATRICIA STEVENS Secretary Miss Stevens graduated from Weston in 1955 and came back this year. She has successfully made the step from student to member of the staff. Mr. JOHN PROCTOR Springfield College Dean of Students, Physical Education You can ' t hope to find a greater guy than the Dean. He not only has many jobs in the high school, but he is the Recreation Director of the town. Mr. CHARLES K. CUMMINGS, Jr. Harvard Director of Guidance, Modern Problems Do you want to know what school to attend after Weston High? Ask Mr. Cummings. Do you want help in finding a job? Ask Mr. Cummings. In fact, if you want advice of any sort, just ask Mr. Cummings. 6

I ' With our arrival in S ENIOR ENGLISH, we find that our course of study with Mr. Mitchell leans more toward the cultural than the practical. ; English literature is made more interesting by models, such as this of the Globe Theater made by a student two years ago. However, our week- • ends are still clouded by the thoughts of compositions to be written. j 1 SPEECH ARTS is planned to fa¬ cilitate speaking in public. It familiarizes us with prepared, impromptu and choric speak¬ ing. We also work with radio production and dramatics. Mr. PAUL MITCHELL Boston University C.L.A. English Mr. Mitchell ' s pride in his own youngsters may be one reason why he is so understanding. The Student Council under his direction benefits the whole school, and the yearbook editors have greatly appreciated his aid. Miss ANNE HOERNER Smith College English Miss Hoerner, formerly a practice teacher, is the advisor to the newspaper staff, and we have found that under her excellent leadership the staff does a fine job on the newspaper. Mr. JOHN ZORN University of New Hampshire English, Speech Arts Mr. Zorn is the spark of the Announcers ' Club, which he origi¬ nated. Equally important, he organizes and produces the school play in a fashion which makes it almost completely a student production. Mr. HENRY DeRUSHA Hyannis Teachers College English Mr. DeRusha ' s friendly attitude makes him liked by everyone. Along with teaching English he has the responsibility of directing the seventh grade program. He enjoys craft work in his spare time. 8
