Shea English Junior Class Sponsor READIN' AND RlTlN'g SPELLIN' AND SPEAKIN' The greatest asset in life is communicating with others, whether it be by words, pictures, or mouth. To us the English language is the instru- ment of communication, but when we don't keep it repaired and in its best working condition, it becomes worn out and a handicap. The cheerful greetings of the office secretaries, Carol and Kay, made our visits to the office more pleasant. ln the morning, Kay helped Mr. McGibbeny take attendance, while Carol operated the switch board. 14 Charles F.
