Mr. HENRY DOCKLER Norwich University Basic Electricity, Physics After graduating from college Mr. Dockler taught school until he entered the army and rose to the rank of colonel. This year he came to Weston to teach in the science fields. One of his many enjoyments is hunting. Mr. RICHARD HAM Bowdoin College Biology, French, General Science Mr. Ham helps the students of the school with their Science Fair projects. He also gives the sophomores that needed help¬ ing hand on the Football Dance. During his spare time he enjoys swimming. eunnccuioft Miss MILDRED MARBLE Fitchburg State Teachers College Science Miss Marble has been at Weston for many years, and we know that our senior high school science courses were more attractive to us as a result of her keen interest in the subject. Mrs. DOROTHY MULROY Wells Science With the coming of Mrs. Mulroy last September, Weston added an enthusiastic teacher of science to the staff. With her eighth grade daughter, Mrs. Mulroy enjoys the theater, ballet, and travel. She also enjoys Weston. Precision and accuracy as well as the power to reason are qualities which the study of PHYSICS encourages. Although new develop¬ ments in nuclear science have influenced this study in high schools, a knowledge of basic facts is still necessary. Here we see three young physicists intent on their experiment involving observation and calculation. Mrs. SIGNE HYNSON Goucher College Librarian Mrs. Hynson is always willing to help us, whether we need research material for special reports, or just want a good book to read. 1 1

The INDUSTRIAL ARTS department has an abundance of modern equipment which affords our boys training in woodworking, auto me¬ chanics, mechanical drawing, metal working, and the designing and landscaping of model homes. Here we see members of the senior class in auto mechanics putting their knowledge to practical use. In Weston enrollment in the COMMERCIAL COURSE is much smaller than in the college course. Students who elect it receive excellent training in typing and shorthand, with office practice in the senior year. The personal typ¬ ing course is popular with college preparatory students. xtct cxtM-cunnccuCa i ofrfrontuputcc Mr. AIMO TEITTINEN Fitchburg State Teachers College Mechanical Drawing and Industrial Arts Mr. Teittinen is usually busy down in the shop. He is one of the main reasons why our school play is a completely student production, in that the members in his industrial arts classes make and handle the scenery. Mr. MALCOLM OLIVER Fitchburg State Teachers College As scenery coordinator Mr. Oliver is of great assistance behind the scenes at the annual school play. Like a postman who takes a walk on his day off, his hobby is woodworking.
