The one lesson I hope to teach (through the earth sciences) is that young people can learn, to make important decisions for themselves through their greatest power — the power of choice -- only if they can recognize the tremendous amount of falsitie and mis-information floating freely all about them like fog. Important decisions can better be made by only using carefully gathered and properly organized facts. The long ranged programs that young people get into are often influenced bv well meaning but in- correct friends or even misinformed family, and of course, we idealistes teachers! Science and history shows us that the common way many times is not the smart way and that the correct idea usually stands alone at the beginning and takes much initial abuse. RESEARCH CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKENG IMPORTANT DECISIONS! ! D. Gage The one lesson I hope to teach my students is that a little work throughout the year will do you more good than the big cram at at the end. j,D.

LUCILLE EG AIM EUNICE ELLARD BETTY ERICKSON PATRICIA TAUBERT Social Studies Foreign Language Homemaking Teacher Aide I would describe South High as a pleasant, friendly place to work. It has few of the tremendous problems facing inner city schools and a good rapport exists between faculty and students. Good rapport should not mean loss of discipline, however, and this needs to be guarded against at South High. We could use a lot more school spirit to go along with these good inter-personal relation- ships and a broader outlood on the world, in other words look beyond the boundaries of Weymouth and strive to GROW.

Head — Business MARILYN HOFFMAN Guidance SALLY HOFFMAN English DEBORAH HOGAN Mathmatics RALPH JANNINO Physical Education I enjoy watching students transform during the three years from sophomore to senior. As sophomores, most students are uncertain, immature and lazy. But one can notice in almost everyone a certain potential, be it academic or social. In the junior year, the students are pretty much their own person, with many decisions about their future made. The majority of students have now become concerned, conscientious and loving people. Seeing this growth processes the most enjoyable part of teaching. D. Hogan I prefer to teach in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Where the students recognize their obligation to try to learn and yet, though work is to be done it can be accomplished in a friendly fashion. G.D.
