Five hundred students, from 2 to 18 years of age, are either partially or wholly blind or deaf or have serious speech defects. In this photo Sister Angelica cuts a lacquer record as Tommy Burgunder, 12, follows the recording playing by a tape cartridge recorder against the text in his Braille text book. “Our students like to make recordings in class,” the nun says, “and the enjoyment they derive acts as a powerful incentive to learning.” The school charges no tuition and accepts students regardless of race or religion.
