Winchester High is fortunate to have on its teaching staff a most versatile person, Ms. Susan Aus¬ tin. Ms. Austin came to WHS at the beginning of the 77-78 school year to teach both German and English. However, she soon found herself deeply involved in many school activities. She has grown in popularity among both stu¬ dents and teachers. Ms. Austin is a dynamic person who finds ways to turn the dul¬ lest event into an enjoyable ex¬ perience. If one walks into her German classes, this is evident immediately. She can have even the quietest students up on their toes singing, Kopf und Schulter, Knee and Fuss. Every Wednesday, she can be found in the English open area until 5:00 supervising the production of the yearbook. Often, she stays at school until 9:00 to attend Wednesday night German Club functions. Ms. Aus¬ tin has also been seen in bright orange tights as a member of the teachers ' team at the WHS Olym¬ pics. She has been here only two years, but already her accom¬ plishments can be seen and ap¬ preciated by all. Thanks to her efforts, a group of about 23 stu¬ dents will be spending a month in Germany on an exchange pro¬ gram. Winchester High is very lucky to have such an interesting teacher on the faculty.

Vincent Larocco Principal Thomas Budrewicz Asst. Principal Evander French Asst. Principal Winchester High School Winchester, Massachusetts To The Class of 1979: As you leave high school there are those who will say that there are no challenges for today ' s young people or that the challenges presented are so complex that you cannot effectively deal with them. I do not believe either statement to be true, nor do I believe that the struggles of mankind have changed dramatically in the course of man ' s history. The challenges are there for those of you who wish to reach out and accept them and, while the world appears to be more complex, those complexities are only the result of our more nearly understanding the issues that have always existed. Humanity is better off today than it was yesterday; it will be better off tomorrow. Where is your star? Who or what is your wizard? Do you dare to dream? Do you believe? Sincerely, Vincent E. Larocco Elizabeth Gardner Secret ary-Bookkeeper Audrey Graustein Off. Mgr. Secretary Elizabeth Knight Registrar Helen Stavros Receptionist 8

Sandra Beachman Foreign Language Theodore Benton English Dave Berman Physical Education Diane Boettcher Guidance Community Careers One of the most successful programs at Winchester High School is Max — Ed. This course, directed by Mrs. Boettcher, is de¬ signed to give students the op¬ portunity to discover their talents and skills through first hand ex¬ perience. It includes just about every profession, the more popu¬ lar ones being hospital work, office work, and early childhood work. Since many seniors panic at the thought of a career, Max — Ed has been extremely beneficial by limiting their choices and guiding them down the right path. Though it is not a new course, its effectiveness is undeniable; a definite plus to our curriculum.
