EXCELLENCE IN SECONDARY EDUCATION On December 2, the new school became the scene and the stage for its own official christening into the anxious arms of the Weston School System. The footsteps and pedantic voices of many guests, prominent in the field of education, filled the corridors and rooms of the building. There was a general open-house for the benefit of those townspeople who wished to see what the increase in their tax rate had achieved. Praise for thrift and ex¬ clamations of awe were both seen and heard. Panels composed of Weston High teachers and guests discussed the achievements and the goals of subjects from History to Mathematics. Mr. Saltonstall speaking at the school dedication.

THE UNCOMPLETED BUILDING A devastated ista of destroyed earth, a scar upon the once pleasant country side, a jungle of ripped-up trees, that was the place. Monolithic piles of brick upon brick, stacks of lumber glaring white in the sun, sallow-colored packages resting in the brown earth, those were the materials. From this sordid bed of confusion rose the unfinished shell of Weston High School. The shell was gray, cavernous, echoing, peopleless. It lacked the warmth and sounds that only students could create.
