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

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

Mrs. THERESA ZAMPROGNO Boston University C.L.A. Head of Foreign Language Department, French Mrs. Z. is a very busy woman for, in addition to classes, she is the girls ' guidance counsellor in grades nine through eleven (A BIG JOB.) Because of her cheery way, her French classes are enjoyed by all. Miss ELEANOR MASTIN University of New Hampshire Latin, French In Miss Mastin we find not only friendliness, but a tremendous school spirit. She shows us that she is behind us when we find her at many of the sports events of both boys and girls. Mr. MARTIN MARTINIAN Boston University Latin, History, French Mr. Martinian is the faculty advisor to the Weston Rhombas Affiliation Committee in the school. Under his leadership a mem¬ ber from Weston High was sent to Rhombas, France, as an ex¬ change student. Mr. WENDELL PHILLIPS Boston University, School of Music Band, Orchestra, Choir, and Chorus When Mr. Phillips came to Weston five years ago, a new en¬ th usiasm for music came with him. We now have in the school a choir and a chorus, in addition to an orchestra and a uni¬ formed band. 1 I I 1 Weston High offers only two FOREIGN LANGUAGES, Latin and French. Since the community is college minded, a considerable number of pupils elect the first two years of Latin. The study of French does not begin until the sopho¬ more year to avoid starting two foreign languages in one year. However, third year classes in both subjects are small and intimate. Mrs. JEAN MUNRO Lowell State College Music Photography and travel consume what little spare time Mrs. Munro has when she isn ' t rushing to her music classes in four different buildings. 9
