 MkS« Dedication Since he first joined the faculty of Oakfield High School, Mr. Baeten has been a favorite teacher. His understanding and willingness to help students with even their smallest problems are qualities which have made him a most well-liked educator. Mr. Baeten's outstanding record as a coach is due, not only to the fact that he is an excellent athlete himself, but also to his ability to pass on his skill to the boys who compete for positions on the school teams. The many trophies Mr. Baeten's teams have accumulated attest his coaching ability. With the building of our new high school, Mr. Baeten assumed new responsibilities, including the office of high school principal. Mr. Baeten has given much of his time and talent to our high school, and we look forward to his remaining at Oakfield in the future. In appreciation for the help and encouragement you've us, the seniors of I96I4. dedicate this annual to you, Mr. Baeten. given
