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. Miss THELMA CARAM Salem State Teachers College Shorthand, Typing, Office Practice Miss Caram, besides a full teaching toad, gives the students a lot of her free time helping them with the newspaper. She also organizes a student secretarial staff for the faculty. Miss ELIZABETH COBB Framingham State College Foods, Clothing, Education for Family Life Miss Cobb is one who is always willing to help us, no matter what our need. When the science fair comes along, she has the job of supervising a dinner for the judges pre¬ pared and served by her foods class.

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

Custodians Mr. MacLeod, Mr. Merrill, and Mr. Clarke, our three custodians, spend long hours keeping our school clean. How well they do this is revealed by the spotless appearance of the classrooms and corridors. Busy as they are, they always find time to talk with us and to lend a helping hand. €iot uCci6(c U4. ail Mental exercise creates hunger, and without our capable cafeteria staff, Mrs. Foote, Mrs. Jaques, Mrs. Riley, and Mrs. Burke behind the scenes, what would we learn in the classes following lunch! They are very co-operative w hen we ask for the use of the cafeteria facilities for extra¬ curricular activities. Mr. GEORGE HARRIS Springfield College Boys ' Physical Education Coach Harris does more than teach the skill of various sports; he also teaches the boys to work together and remem¬ ber that playing the game hard and fair is more important than winning. Miss MA.RIE BUTERA Sargent College Physical Education Miss Butera has been in Weston only one year, but she has already made a hit with the girls, because she is so con¬ sistently cheerful and helpful. Her work leaves her little time for her hobbies of reading and sports. Miss ALICE OLLIFF Massachusetts School of Art Art How enthusiasm has grown in the art department since Miss Olliff came! She has made the school art-conscious by leader¬ ship of the art service club. Without her what would the jun¬ iors do for prom ideas? All Students electing ART have an increasing op¬ portunity for individual expression, including some as¬ signed projects. Senior students select some field in art to pursue as a research problem with a culmi¬ nating project which reflects the ability of the student.
