ABERIONA . 1947 Fonnas H. Nomus, En.D., SUPERINTENISENT Administrators The tall, smiling man you have undoubtedly seen in the halls of Winchester High School is Dr. Forbes Norris, our Superintendent. He is a well-known figure to all of us because of the interest and enthusiasm he has shown for all our various activities. We sincerely appreciate the fine job he has done during the two years we have known him as Superintendent. Perhaps more distant from our school lives is the School Committee, which, however, plays a most important part in overseeing the high school. The present members of the School Committee are Mr. Hazen Ayer, Mr. Neil H. Borden, Chairman, Mrs. Christine Greene, Mr. Richard Rush, Mr. William Spears, and Mrs. Lyman Smith. The member of the Administrative Staff with whom we are most familiar is, of course, Mr. Wade L. Grindle, our principal. In this, his first full year after returning from the Army, we have come to know Mr. Grindle as a sincere friend who is interested in each and every student. We shall all remember him not only for his personal interest in us, but for the invaluable aid he has given us in choosing schools and vocations for the future. WADE L. GRINDl,E, PRINCIPAL

VViNsi,ow Faculty During our four years in high school we are guided, taught, scolded, and amused by the faculty. We are indeed fortunate to have such teachers as we have, for their influence is greater than we sometimes realize. ln the Wadleigh Building, the green and eager freshmen are met by Mr. Winslow, principal, Miss Bailey, who intro' duces them to The Ancient Mariner and Julius Caesar , Miss Carmichael, instructor in the mysteries of Latin participles and inhnitivesg Mr. Weafer, Miss Foley, and Mr. Seferian. As sophomores, a good deal less green and eager, Winchester High School students delight in the vagaries of Mr. Hayward - CCall to mind the window shades?D , Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Albro -- omnia gallia Jivisa est, ctr., Miss Knowlton, unforgettable, indefatigable francaise, Miss Hall, Miss Bennett, Mr. Cooper, Miss Crockett, Mr. Curtis, and Mr. Reed. By the beginning of their junior year, all traces of greenness and eagerness gone, Winchester High School students have really settled down. That year, perhaps, they become acquainted with Mr. Stevens. Who will ever forget To be or not to be . . fl? They meet the headfman of the Mathematics Department, Mr. Butters, and spend time in the company of exponents and parabolas. If they study French, they encounter Miss Mackedon, who never, never lets anyone forget his books without paying. They are introduced to the wonders of chemistry under Miss Peabody, or the mystery man, Dr. Alley. They also appreciate Mr. Kotkov, Miss Skornik, and the other faculty members who help them to pull through their junior year. As seniors, Winchester High School students tackle one or two new subjects, the most important of which is, perhaps, history, Few will forget Mrs. Stacy's sage teachings. How could they? They view new horizons in literature under Mr. Keeney's understanding guidance and discover Burns, Tennyson, Keats, and Shelley. Under Miss Bronson's guidance, some become more deft at pounding those typewriters and writing shorthand. During all four years, everyone is helped immeasurably by our Guidance Director, Mr. Nash. Everyone is truly grateful, too, to Miss Livingstone, who patiently rules the Library, and to Miss Cvoodrich, Supervisor of Art. Many work with Miss Niven, Mr. Branley, or Mr. Leary. And, of course, everyone knows Coach Knowlton, Mrs. Matthews, and that debonair basketball coach and instructor of geography and bookkeeping, Mr. Bartlett. We hope the members ofthe faculty realize the dee appreciation we students feel for the many hours they give to extracurricular activities - to mention just a liwt Mr. Hay' ward m A. A. and the Vauclevilleg Mr. Kotkov - the Class Play, Miss Mackedon - the Red Cross, Mr. Cooper 4 Student Council, Miss Crockett ref' the ABERIIONA, and many others. Thanks to all the faculty for a great many kindnesses.
