Abstract: Let $K$ be a compact metric space. A real-valued function on $K$ is said to be of Baire class one (Baire-1) if it is the pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions. In this paper, we study two well known ordinal indices of Baire-1 functions, the oscillation index $$ and the convergence index $gamma$. It is shown that these two indices are fully compatible in the following sense : a Baire-1 function $f$ satisfies $$ for some countable ordinals $x{i}_1$ and $x{i}_2$ if and only if there exists a sequence of Baire-1 functions $(f_n)$ converging to $f$ pointwise such that $$ and $gamma((f_n))leqomeg{a}^{x{i}_2}$. We also obtain an extension result for Baire-1 functions analogous to the Tietze Extension Theorem. Finally, it is shown that if $$ and $$ then $$ where $$ These results do not assume the boundedness of the functions involved.
