BUT POP, I'M TOO YOUNG FOR ENG- LISHV'--Little Patty Angeloni, flve-month- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Angeloni, doesnlt seem to go for the idea of studying English at this stage of the game. Her fa- ther, a 9th grade English teacher, tries to impress on her how much fun there is in studying grammar. Result: Baby Patty won as usual and a rattle took the place of War- riner's Handbook of English! Patty was one of the seven children born to the families of faculty members this year. RARE MOMENT OF RELAXATION-Mr. Curcio, who served as Jun- ior Class adviser, and his attractive wife, Bonnie, take a breather from the hectic pace around prom time. His helpfulness and patience in guiding the always active Junior Class through the year, climaxed by a never to be for- gotten prom, made him one of the most respected and well liked teachers at West Deer.

WEST DEER DIPLOMATIC CORPS-Most of the world problems were expected to be settled this summer after West Deer's foreign ambassadors completed their visits. Sharpening up on their very unique foreign word pro- nunciations fthe kind with a West Deer accentj are Mr. Formento, who studied at the University of Paris, France, during the summer, Carol Schnei- der, who visited Italy and other European countries, and Jane Schroder, who vacationed in Panama with relatives. Faculty SO LONG TO A GREAT TEACHER-Mr. Powers, president of PSAE, aids Miss Lambert with luggage presented by her faculty co-workers during a testimo- nial dinner. At left is Miss Lambert's sister, Margaret. Most stunning faculty news of the year was the ofh- cial word that Miss Lambert had accepted a posi- tion at another school district in order to be at home with relatives. She had made literally thousands of devoted friends during 29 years at West Deer.
