C4W€4tc ' ite toute4 €4 iAcc i lecut CLASS OF 1960 Being the youngest members of a school is never easy, os Freshmen in Weston High School have discovered. Although they had some experience with the high school routine as eighth graders in the high school building, there were many problems which they had not met before. In Junior High School everyone must take the same subjects, but upon en¬ tering Senior High School, Freshmen have a choice as to what fields they wish to enter and choose their courses accordingly. While still in the eighth grade the students, and their parents, teachers, and guidance personnel have several meetings together to discuss Senior High School and different subjects which the students may take. If eighth graders wish to attend college after graduating from high school, they are advised to take the college preparatory course through their high school years. This offers a choice of studies besides those usually required by colleges; at least two years of mathematics, foreign language courses, and a good four year English course. Those who do not wish to go on to college may choose a more general course with commercial subjects which pre¬ pare them for secretarial jobs and with shop courses which provide students with the necessary skills for jobs in various trades. After learning about the courses through these conferences, the eighth grad¬ ers, with their parents, make out a tentative four year plan. With this basic plan in mind, eighth graders enter the Senior High School with some idea of what their direction will be throughout the four years. Freshmen find that there are many facets of high school life which are interesting and worthwhile. They now have the opportunity to become library assistants or to join clubs and Choir or Chorus. Our Freshmen are now full-fledged members of the high school, and the cooperation and interest they show in school affairs bring new life and vitality to the school and give us pleasure in welcoming the new¬ comers to the Senior High School.

4eeMU eU4(a4tt, amcC iafo lo4tuyte4. CLASS OF 1959 Sophomores, with a year ' s experience behind them, are well adjusted to senior high school. Diffi¬ cult decisions as to what subjects to take are in the past, and sophomores are pursuing courses selected in accordance with future plans. With their courses established and college boards far in the distant future, sophomores feel freer to participate vigor¬ ously in varied extracurricular activities. Athletes on whom the school will depend in the future begin to appear as boys go out for football, basketball, and baseball, and girls for field hockey, basketball, and softball. Personal athletic skill which will be of value throughout life is developed by individuals in track, tennis, and golf. Many sophomores find it interesting as well as good experience to work in the office during free periods, on the staff of the Smoke Sig¬ nal, or as a member of the Announcer ' s Club. The mechanical minded join this club for the opportunity to become club technicians. The Math and Typing Clubs attract others, and Sophomores with a dra¬ matic bent compete with other classes for the honor of representing the school on the stage, as they try out for parts in the annual school play. Sophomores who are members of the Student Council raise their voices more frequently to offer suggestions which will help their school. In every activity of high school life, the increasing maturity of the sophomores in¬ dicates their promise as the future leaders of Weston High. ROW 1: C. Miller, L. Shepardson, S. Murphy, A.
