This goal is achieved at Woburn High School because the student begins by studying Ancient History in the ninth grade, then World History, United States History, and, in the senior year, Problems of Democracy. Under the direction of Miss Geraldine A. Soles, the Social Studies Department equips the student with the knowledge of the past that is essential for the future; consequently each student is aware of the value of his role as citizen and future voter. This year Mr. Paul K. Sweeney, a member of the Social Studies Department, is teaching Advanced Placement American History, which is equivalent to a freshman course in United States History on the college level. As our depart¬ ment enlarges, the students are able to prepare themselves very adequately for their college years. 14 MR. PAUL K. SWEENEY

Swanton Secretary Guidance Counselors GUIDANCE ASSISTS EVERY STUDENT Each year the Guidance Office is able to meet the needs of Woburn High as our student population grows. This year more conferences have been held with individual students and more transcripts to different colleges have been sent out than ever in the past. This, however, is but a small part ofthe many dutiesof a Guidance Office and its staff. Discussions with parents, concerning the educational opportunities for their sons and daughters, are regarded as most essential. Information on many varied vocational schools is also kept constantly available. No matter what career a student may consider for the future, the Guidance Office is a great assistance in fulfilling these plans. Director of Guidance, Mr. Timothy C. Ring, and his counselors are always in contact with colleges near and far so that they are constantly aware of changing requirements and stand¬ ards of admission. 13

KIMBALL Boston University Music Appreciation Band — Orchestra Senior Play Since our Music Department is now so spacious, many students are able to participate in its varied activities. For example, with two lovely new musical suites in which to work, the band may rehearse in one, while, at the same time, the Concert Choir and Choraleers rehearse in the other room. Aside from this, the band and orchestra take part in many parades and music festivals. Each year the band makes many public appearances. In 1964 they participated in parades in Fitchburg and Lexington, and made many local ap¬ pearances as well. The lower school and the upper school each have a separate Glee Club; there is also a combined Glee Club, including both lower and upper schools. Doubt¬ lessly, each musically inclined student can gain a greater knowledge of how edu¬ cational and enjoyable music really can be. 15
