“Sunshine Girls'’ Brighten Office Routine Mrs. Rebecca Burroughs, alias “Edna St. Vincent Bur- roughs, adds holiday gaiety to the daily reports by insert- ing original poetic delights. She spices intercom announce- ments to Miss Overstreet with her French verbosity. ARC secretaries run the Academy's complaint and transfer center. They compile the daily reports and collect semester fees. The “sunshine girls” handle most of the mimeographing done in the school. The annual staff is a perpetual customer and is most appreciative of their help. Mrs. Varie Bolton tiptoes about the office smiling sweetly and keeping the Academy’s finances in order. 12 Mrs. Camella Olmstead is ever typing transcripts, initialing passes and tardy slips, okaying excuses, and punctuating all her duties with a smile.

Guidance Office Administers College Boards Mrs. Minnie Sackett is constantly bombarded with questions about Col- lege boards, colleges, and vacations, and she bears them with a smile. ARC’s guidance counselor ably handles transcripts for colleges and other schools, recommendations for colleges and jobs. The guidance office not only offers academic counseling, but Mrs. Sackett is also an understanding listener and wise advisor where personal problems are concerned. MRS. MINNIE SACKETT, Counselor MRS. BETTY CHANDLER, Nurse Lunchroom A Busy And Happy Place At Noon The average student at Richmond Academy has only about forty minutes of the school day which may be called his own. Much of this time is spent in the lunchroom. Here the student may relax, free from the tension of the classroom. The most important function of the lunchroom is to provide the students of our school with nutritious meals. This task is very capably directed by Mrs. L. E. Harris, Richmond’s lunchroom supervisor. Sympathy And Aspirin Remedy Most Ailing Students Sprained ankles, shiners, and cases of “test fright” find their way to the First Aid Station with more or less some amount of regularity every day. Mrs. Betty Chandler administers the necessary medications for all ailments— “palpitation of the gray matter” included. Mrs. Chandler’s pills and cheeriness set most ailing students back on the road to health and classes. MRS. L. E. HARRIS, Dietitian 13
