Office The office is probably one of the busiest places in the building. Telephone ringing, buzzers ringing, radio giving broadcasts, people callng on Mr. Cherry on business, and pupils asking important questions all form the routine of an ordinary day in this room. The clock is probably one of the most delicate devices and probably the most important we have. It is automatic and rings every forty minutes. It has a buzzer attached to it which can be set to ring at any given time. The office also has a public address system. If one desires to communicate with one of the rooms this system will permit both speaking and listening. The office also has a file which contains records and grades of every student who has attended this school. The public address system also contains a radio which can be used by any room at any time. It is used for broadcasts in History classes, telling about the war problems and the current events of the United States. It is used in the Home Economics room for students who take Cooking. Sewing, and Home Management. The radio also has an automatic record-changer for playing ten to twelve recordings. We feel that our office is one of the most up-to-date in the state. We are proud of the various automatic mechanisms which help to regulate our school life. I au »vif— The Claytonian
