LIBRARY Mrs. Signe Hynson is the school librarian. She not only keeps the library functioning smoothly — a major task in itself — but she is always ready to help you find a book or back issue of a magazine which you need. She deserves a great deal of credit for her work and her tolerance during many a trying library study hall. BUSINESS Mrs. Thelma Hoyle, Director of Business Education at Weston High, teaches typing, stenography, and proper office tech¬ niques to the future secretaries of the school. She has in¬ deed made the clatter of typewriters familiar to everyone passing along the downstairs corridor. HOME ECONOMICS Mrs. Ruth Raymond and Miss Muriel Sutherland are the scho ol ' s experts on sewing machines, needle and thread, apple pie, and burnt toast. Under their guidance, aspiring young homemakers investigate needle¬ work and the culinary arts; even the 7th and 8th graders get into the act and keep Miss Sutherland busy during their afternoon cooking and sewing classes. Mrs. Raymond ' s little helpers have had more experi¬ ence, but still know how to cook up a storm. 11

MATH Miss Martha Zelinka, who teaches mathematics and ad¬ vises the Math Club, is Head of the Math Department. Her powerful personality will indeed be remembered by all her students. Mr. Jeremiah Kellett, mathematician extraordinaire, is famed for his Big Pictures and f ' rinstances. Erroneously known as the Father of Impractical Applications, he has nevertheless left his indelible mark on history. Plane geometry and algebra are to one another as Miss Ellen Holt is to Mrs. June Ellsworth. It is their task to develop an interest in those students who are taking math courses for the first time. From the size of the higher math classes, it appears that they have succeeded.

Mr. Halston Lewis and Mr. Norman Smith strive to give Weston High School students a better under¬ standing of both American History and current na¬ tional and world affairs. Their classes are the scenes of debates and organized discussions rivaling those of the political figures with which the students are so often concerned. Mr. Leo J. Cronan, a member of the Modern Prob¬ lems Coalition, is also the Driver Education instruc¬ tor. Ever holding the trump card, his finger poised above the proverbial button, he waits for the oppor¬ tunity to make things look like the 4th of July. It takes a calm mind and nerves of steel to be the driv¬ ing force behind D.E., and Mr. Cronan has just the system for the job. SOCIAL STUDIES MUSIC Mr. Robert Corley is director of music for the Weston school system. The band, orchestra, and singing groups all participate in the an¬ nual Spring Concert, as well as enliven various holiday assemblies. Mr. Corley is the staff be¬ hind these organizations, each of which demands hours of preparation and rehearsal. To misquote an old adage, A conductor ' s work is never done.
