' ll to R, Walter White, Coordinator of Athletics, Miss Marie Seminatore, Mr. Austin Gravey. Athletic Facilities To Be Expanded Woburn High has endeavored to give to the growing individuals of the student body both physical co-ordination and appreciation of good health. The Physical Education De¬ partment has also given to the students a comprehensive understanding of and practice in the physical skills and safety. Futhermore, the growing population of Woburn has necessitated an extension of the present high school. Future students will have many advantages and much to be proud of in their new facilcities. Within three floors the gym will contain, among many other advantages, a doctor’s and a nurse’s office, a corrective room, a coaches’ office, and a vast, beautiful gym. It is certain that in the future the fine athletic spirit of Wo¬ burn High will be redoubled by these magni¬ ficent new provisions for the health and physical growth of the student body. Mr. Gravey leads a class in some calisthenics.

Music In The Air The Music Department, under the direction of Mr. Edson Kimball, has succeeded in creating student interest and par¬ ticipation in the pleasant world of music. It is through this appreciation of music that we grow to know the temperament of people from countries that we have never seen, and, in this way, become truly capable of understanding human na¬ ture. By means of band, orchestra, glee club, and music apprecia¬ tion classes, the Music Department of our school not only has added to our appreciation of music, but also has contri¬ buted to the invaluable qualities of school spirit and pride so vital to all phases of school life. Mr. Edson Kimball Orchestra rehersal. The Glee Club entertains at the Christmas program.

Many years have passed since we started school, many years in which we’ve been taught how to increase our knowledge through books, magazines, newspapers, radio and other means of communication. In the future, the knowledge thus gained will help us to build our lives toward the goals we strive for. These fleeting years have also given us a wealth beyond compare: a wealth of human warmth and fond memories of dances and parties. The social events of our years in school have contributed inestimably to our growth. A man cannot live by mere knowledge alone, to drown in the perilous depths of the nar¬ row-mindedness of his own self-centered world. To grow, to be complete, he must learn to temper his opinions, laugh with others, and, most important, laugh at himself. It is then he learns that he is not alone, for he is sharing with others in the common bonds of humanity.
