Language week is a hit! In a joint effort the Span- ish and French Clubs, under advisors Joan Boudle and Barbara Brown, recognized Foreign Language Week from October 20th-24th with a series of activities. A bakesale kicked off the week, followed, by the In- ternational Dinner held at night in the Bacon cafeteria. The Spanish provided appe- tizers and entrees while the French contributed mouth watering desserts. The food was served family style. En- tertainment was furnished with compliments of the French Club, with proceeds from both activities going to the French and Spanish Clubs respectively. The week ended with a volleyball competition between the two, which is slowly but surely becoming a yearly tra- dition. The French won this year, but the Spanish are all set for a re-match anytime! As a result, the week be- came a definite boost for the foreign languages of Bacon Academy, helping to bring them out into the spotlight.

Guidance . . . Contributing to the individualiza tion of learning. Credit is due to our Guid- ance Department, for putting up with the never ending num- ber of students clamoring for PSAT and SAT results, begging for a chance at the guidance computer, and demanding in- stant solutions for their sched- uling riddles. Not to mention the paper work! We know it's not easy being in such demand. Jeannette Gregory, Guidance Counselor Thomas Racine, Guidance Counselor CUE ICiEECTCES I 'V Robert Warren, Principal Owen Collins, Vice-Principal Their technical staff Carol Chemerynski, Guidance Clerk Jeanne Polk, Secretary Instructing us in our need for an identity, with concern, guidelines and recognition. Mr. Warren and Mr. Collins have been keeping themselves occupied this year with numerous school renova- tions, trying to involve the community in more school activities, and improv- ing our over-all student activity pro- gram. Their major headaches though, have been smoking in the girls' lavatory and food fights in the cafeteria. We're sure they'll come up with the answers which might take a lot of work, but if the students made it any easier, where would the challenge be? Gertrude Whitesell, Clerk 9
