Secretaries Exhibit Good Cheer The roles of the secretaries at Chugiak were very di- verse, caUing for hard work, ingenuity, a sense of humor, and good cheer. Involved were a lot of routine tasks, such as typing and answering phones, but different things were included as well: running the switchboard, training stu- dents to do certain jobs, working on computers, and espe- cially working with people. There are problems some- times Mrs. Cresap said, when kids think they ' re ehgible for a sport and they don ' t understand that they aren ' t or why they aren ' t. Sometimes students try to forge notes or phone calls, said Mrs. Morris. For the most part, how- ever, the secretaries got along well with the students. Working with the students is like working in a soap op- era, said Mrs. Finnelly, but they graduate and you don ' t know how it ends. There ' s never a dull moment, said Mrs. Morris. Ihe secretaries at Chugiak seemed to love their jobs. On being asked, most said they wouldn ' t change their jobs much. I like it a lot ... I hke the kids, said Mrs. Finnelly. but 1 wouldn ' t miss the getting up so early. There ' s some- thing going on continually, said Mrs. Stewart. Chugiak, the secretaries agreed, is an excellent school. The students and staff, one secretary said are nicer and better here than anywhere else in the district.
