The Right Type As the phones ring and people ask questions, these ladies play a special role. These ladies are the school secretaries. Their desks are piled with papers as they try to keep up with the day's activities. Their duties are as varied as is their num- ber ot years ot experience. Ms. Bowers, the principals secretary, stated, I have been here since March ot 1985, and I have enjoyed it. My main job here has been to make appointments and write the correspondence tor Dr. Doggett. Another lady who works hard to keep the school moving ahead into the tuture is Ms. D'l-laillecourt. She said, l have worked at this school tor nine years, and l have enjoyed it very much. The job that l mainly do here has been enrolling stu- dents and handling activities and athlet- ics. At the beginning ot the year a new lady stepped into Ms. Erb's place as financial secretary. Ms. Erb went to the Administra- tion Building to start a new career with more responsibilities and ditterent exper- iences. This secretary is Ms. Braning, and she said, I have been here since the 23rd ot September ot 1985. l have enjoyed it very muchg it's tun. My main job is to keep track ot the books and to be the financial secretary. These secretaries are indispensable. They are the people that keep this school up with the times. Without them, the daily workings ot the school would tall apart. 755 26 Secretaries With the telephones ringing and new paperwork coming in, Ms, Sunich and Ms. Malloy manage to smile throughout the day. Ms. O'Keete and Ms. Bowers are deep in the matters ot a A secretaries day. The buck stops here at Ms. Braning's desk,

New Teachers Being a new teacher at a different school can be a pretty traumatic exper- ience. lt's like starting over again. lt's been fun, commented Mr. Rornbach, a new social studies teacher, varsity base- ball coach and sophomore football coach. Hard as it may seem, being new is even tough for adults. The transition can be tramendous, but because of the helpful and friendly staff fitting in can be much easier. l think that Bear Creek has a lot of neat kids. I am very impressed, Mrs. True re- plied, who has recently joined the science team. Mrs. True is one of the twenty-two members added to the staff this year. Mrs. Lundgren, another new science teacher, remarked that the students here seem more sophisticated because they come from a city area rather than a rural area, where she taught last, in Pennsylva- nia. Changes from schools can be diffi- cult: different books, four year school in- stead of three, modified C schedule, and a different atmosphere. With all the new staff members, the Bear Creek faculty has enough new blood to prevent complacency. Posing for the camera isn't an every day accurance for Ms. Bobbit. The new teachers are initiated into the kazoo band during the pep rally. il' Ms. Snell a new business teacher takes a Five-Alive break during the day. Faculty 25
