Facult This world of ours, this comprehensive high school where we have spent four pront- able years, revolves around a group of ener- getic, efiicient faculty members who are extremely interested in the activities, both social and academic, ol' the senior class. Among them are the parents of four mem- bers of the Flass of 1958-the mother of Susan lloss, the fathers of Carol Bewick, Joseph Iflwell, and Edwin Harris. With their co-workers these teachers have brought to us a knowledge of subject matter through their programs of classroom instruction: they have given us an understanding of people through their advice and counsel. The Bridgeton High School faculty boasts a corps of eighty well-trained leaders always alert to our needs, training us for positions in industry and business, preparing us for college and a professional career. A quartet of competent secretaries are members of the office staff, taking care of the clerical work and records for those in Grades 10, 11, 12. The herculean task of keeping our building and grounds in order is done by our cus- todians. Cafeteria workers prepare snacks and lunches for famished students. Working together, our faculty and school personnel make this microcosm a place where we spend to advantage our time. Susan Ross and Mrs, French have been an insepa- rable mother-daughter team during their four years together at Bridgeton High. LL 71
