L Mr. .lack Headlee 5 ' X .i 1 Developing the students ability to use history in analyzing their problems is a difficult task, but Mount Baker's History instructors have attempted it and have HISTORY Mr. Chester Baker--History, Special Athletics, Mr. Morton Romstad-History been pleased with the results. They hope the students will make use of this ability in the future. English Speech From the dawn of history on earth to the dawn of history in space, endless cycles and patterns can be found and evaluated. By studying these cycles and patterns, students become more aware of current affairs. They are better able to understand the problems that face the world today, E sf and those that will most likely face us tomorrow. Those wise enough to profit from the lesson learned in the past, will be better qualified to express their views in the future.

l Q-l Mrs. Penny Wilson-English, Reading, Mrs. Velda Wahl--English, Mrs. Marion Bell-English THE ARTS LANGUAGE The primary purpose of studying a language is to achieve a certain ease of understanding, and a certain fluency of ex- pression in that language. The teachers' goal is to develop the stu- dent's mind so that he is able to express his own ideas on paper. Studying a language contributes to a widening horizon, through contact with other ideas and other people's way of thinking. To teach his students to become self-suf- ficient has been Mr. Hughes goal this year. He feels that in Shop, students should be able to go ahead on their own initiative. Learning to make decisions on their own is an ability which will help them not only in Shop, but in all phases of life. This was also the goal of lVlr. Ford and Mr. Sirguy in their respective fields of music and art. For the second year at Baker, the eighth grade students have benefited from the advantages of team teaching in their Humanities Class. ln this relatively new class, Mr. Ford and Mr. Sirguy work to- gether to promote understanding of art and music, in relationship lu tne develop- ment of man.

Mrs. Kay Syre-P.E., Art, Health PHYSICAL AND SPECIAL EDUCATION Mr. Robert Tisdale-P.E., Spec. Athletics, Health The special education curriculum has been developed to meet the needs, abilities, and interests of the individual student. The teachers make an effort to have each stu- dent feel that he, or she, is a part of the student body and that as a member they have something to contribute. Physical Education and Health attempt to train the body and the mind. These classes encourage individuals to assume an increas- ing responsibility for self direction and for the development of their potentialities. ln Journalism, Mrs. Boynton combines a study of newspaper and newspaper work with intensive experience in writing. ln addi- tion to practical writing, students receive help in developing the power of observation, habits of promptness, and skills of accuracy essential for newswork. Mr. Bronson has given each member of the Photography class an opportunity to learn the basic techniques of picture taking, enlarging, tintlng and mounting.
