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

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
