Miss Hubbard solved the problem by holding weekly conferences with teachers, exchanging ideas for classroom models, graphs, cartoons, games...

Abrahams '41, Garrison Poetry prize winner, and the score composed by Leonard Bernstein '39, a former pupil of Serge Koussevitsky, Boston Symphony conductor, and director of the H.S.U.'s first dramatic production, Marc Blitzstein's "The Cradle Will Rock...
