Through an Approving Nod or Warning Glance Students Realize That This group of ladies and gentlemen, our faculty, has a never- ending task — that of keeping up a high educational pace in the present crowded, inadequate facilities. Our faculty not only gives us the fundamentals of each subject, but also serves as a friend and counselor. Their patience and understanding arc appreciated. Yes, Pope was correct in saying, Tis education forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree is inclined. FOREIGN LANGUAGES Mrs. White, Mrs. Brooks European language and culture is introduced in our school in the French and Latin Classes taught by these two gracious ladies.

Mrs. Brooks teaches French I, and II, Eng- ish III, and is Junior Y-Teens ad- visor. LIBRARY Mrs. Saylor A new-comer to our faculty, Mrs. Saylor, has the responsibility of keep- ing our library orderly. She sponsors a club for all interested librarians and serves as advisor for our Excalibur.
