Chairman Elmer H. Ellis, at the end ofthe table, confers with his colleagues of 22l, Harry Wolff, Wilfred E. Belleau, Lloyd R. Thomas lseatedl, James L. Fitzpatrick, and Gilbert J. Jautz lstandingl. One of the series of four tests for incoming students is the subiect of this discussion. Although our boys come from all parts of Milwaukee, Tech's attendance record is consistently one of the best in the city. Part of the credit for this record must go to the teachers who check absences and tardiness llower rightl. Fred Schriever, at the extreme right, handles all excuses in the morning, John F. Witeck supervises the tardy ofifice, while Mrs. Connell and Miss Abbie Sullivan spend the seventh and eighth periods respectively checking up on all absences reported during the day. Another attendance officer is Earl F. Jaeger lupper rightl, a Tech alumnus and a member of the School Welfare Department, one of whose main iobs is to keep in contact with the homes in cases of prolonged absence. Lockers, locker keys, and padlocks for the boys constitute another man-sized problem, which has been handled very capably this past year by Carl L. Strelitzer llower lettl. The school physician, Dr. Alfred H. Goodsitt llower centerl, who calls three rnorn- ings a week, is also well known to many of the boys of Tech, and plays an important part in keeping ours a healthy institution.

QCl QfCU i86 pfag an mlaorfanf pod Members of the fair sex are decidedly in the minority at Boys' Tech, but they definitely dominate the offices and a few other important sections of the school. The office force in 131 lupper rightl - Principal's Office, it says on the door - is headed by Miss Ann Schlosser, senior clerk, who supervises all scholastic records. Pictured on each side of her at the pupil program files are Miss Carmela Zanoni and Miss Shirley Ellinger, who handle attendance records, the telephone switchboard, and correspondence. The penny counters at the Accounting Office counter llower Ieftl are checking the take from one day's noon-hour movies. Miss Emily M. Banaszynski, at the left, is chief accounting clerk, and at the time this page went to the engravers, her assistants were Miss Lorraine Casper and Miss Mary Woelfel. Since then Miss Casper has been transferred to l3l to replace Miss Ellinger, who is now at the Mayor's Office, and Miss Joan Boheim has ioined the staff in l2l. A busy place before school and during lunch periods is the School Book Store, presided over by Mrs. Irene Haese lupper leftl, who is assisted by a number of student monitors. Another important book center and repository of learning is the School Library, where Miss Helen M. Tierney llower centerl holds forth, - also assisted by student monitors. Yes, we have books as well as boys and machines at Boys' Tech. Rounding out the woman's page is Miss Lorraine Haasch, the school nurse, assistant to Dr. Good- sitt, and thermometer reader in her own right. Her office is Room 26, the meeting place of the pains and the fevers of the school. 15
