I have drawn seven 'T' ac- counts on the blackboard, says Mr Reid. When the black- board is used, the teacher re- peats what is written so that Mary Lou can follow along. F What's going on here? Oh, it's Mary Lou - or L should we say the Executone. A few of her friends are catching up on the news. Left Lo right: Cindy Mary Lou hears everything that goes on in the Kingsley, Jana Fahey, Norma Shimas, Shirl classroom - even the whispers. Oudekerk. I I I Six years ago the Glens Falls Board of Education accepted the proposal that the Executone be used as a means of providing an education beyond eighth grade for handicapped children in the school district. The Executone, which is an intercommunication system consisting of a private telephone line from the school to the home, is an innovation in the education of handicapped people. The first Executone in the Glens Falls area was installed by the New York Bell Telephone Company in the home of Mary Louise St. John. Mary Lou, who is a member of the graduating class, says, This means of securing an education is a miracle - one that would not be possible without the constant co-operation of the administration and faculty of the school.

The diversified athletic program our school offers gives every student an opportunity to participate in intramural or interschool sports. In football, basketball, baseball, wrestling, track, tennis, golf, and bowling, a spirit of cooperation is developed. By partici- pating in such activities we learn how to play fairly, how to accept victory proudly, but not arrogantly, and how to accept defeat humbly. Together, both the players and spectators bear the pride of victory and the burden of defeat. It is the good sportsmanship by both groups that helps to lay the foundation for successful teams. Our coaches, in helping to build better bodies, are always working to build better people, too, for they are mindful of the moral and mental, as Well as the physical development of every individual. Many of us owe much to the athletic training given at good old Glens Falls High. 29
