il! ur faculty comes ............-nv Nw Heber D. Johnson Hello, this is Mr. Van Devanter, the vice- principal of Ballard High. So you were look- ing at your old Shingle when I finally reached you! Yes, it's true. Your clothes and your hair really looked like those pictures. And do you remember the things you used to do? Think hard now and quit deceiving yourself. That's better. Your own modern-day children aren't too different after all, are they? From where am I calling? Why, the year 1955, of course. You were far too busy to listen then so l'm calling you now. So you have been thinking about something you have always wanted to do, but now you are too old to learn? Pure bunk, a proven myth even in 1955. You are never too old to learn and the time to start is now. My three minutes are up. Goodbye and good luck. Some words have universal meaning, says Mr. Johnson, our principal. lf a friend, or even a stranger, says 'Hi!', you get the mes- sage and feel fine about it. You say 'Hi!'.in return and things seem a little better. On the telephone everyone says 'Hellol' and everyone knows he can now go ahead. Both parties are there. But suppose the wires are down in between. Then what? No communicatonl Suppose you meet a person from Timbuktu-no common language-no communication! But even with the same language, how many times we don't 'understandf We come away with different ideas of what was said. The 'line' of com- munication must be 'connected up.' What we need is a deeper base of understanding. Per- sons who have lived together a long time un- derstand one another without much need of words. All phases of communication cry out for improvement-not iust the words, but the very foundations of mutual interest and sym- pathy. When we have the same viewpoints through common experiences, we 'speak the same language.' T6 A. T. Van Devanter

from far and near, Miss Quigley takes her class on a vicarious trip to Spain. The Shingle staff dedicates the faculty section to Miss Johanna Borrevik, our exchange teacher from Norway. She has helped us to understand her part of the world through her interesting talks. Here as honored guest at the Faculty Tea, she is wearing her colorful costume. , I V 7 rr My H .l,.,,yw,' ti i,i,sy . siii . :U- W . 7 The tearoom is a popular place.
