Mr. George Harris is the boys ' physical educa¬ tion teacher and coach of the varsity football and baseball teams. His job is indeed a trying one. Daily he answers the supreme ques¬ tions, We goin ' out, Coach? and Shawas, Coach? Is it any wonder that he is tired by the time the afternoon practices roll around? There ' s no stopping because two hours on the practice field or baseball diamond and the long wait until everyone has left still remain. He certainly must look forward to summer vacation. Miss Marie Butera is the girls ' Physical Education teacher. Her facetious introductory comment on the first day of school, I think you are all aware of the aim of this course. It is to make Amazons out of you, is a prime example of why the girls enjoy gym and after school activities. She has taught them profi¬ ciency in sports, as well as in sportsmanship. They will always remember Miss Butera. PHYQICAL EDUCATION 13 Come now, girls!

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.
