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.

Mutavn Latin I All through high school we are constantly groping in darkness, trying to make decisions that will be vital to us in our future life. To many of us, the darkness is turned to light by the guidance department. Personal interviews with Miss Pensom and Mr. Zingle encourage us to weigh the facts and make our own decisions. Mr. Matava Mr. Huslak Joe Fallon Not only did we hear Baldwinites over our own public address system, but we could also see Mr. Matava and Mr. Huslak on their weekly TV series on WQED. THE TONGUES OF OTHER NATIONS Understanding people of other countries and being able to communicate with them has become very instrumental in our lives. Every student has the opportunity to study the languages of other lands. Last year Langue Francais made its debut in Bald- win's curriculum to ioin the familiar sounds of Lingua Latina and Lengua Espanol. Through the lan- guage department we have come closer to the people of other nations. Elizabeth P. Pensom Guidance Senior Y-Teens Junior Y-Teens 3 , x 'l5 Stanley A. Zingle Guidance Student Senate
