Miss Alexander Miss Smith Miss Gilkey mmf, new me gaze, WW. one Miss Smith, Teacher Clerk and Home Visitor, manages the administrative details of the main office. She is pleasant and friendly, but very firm in the matter of senior credits or irregularities of any sort. Her able assistant, Miss Alexander, has charge of the attendance records and acts as general clerk. They are assisted by a group of girls who do many routine office tasks, such as filing, typing, cutting stencils, mimeographing, and checking skipper slips. Besides these activities the girls notify parents of absentees, answer the telephone, take care of the assembly fund, make out absence lists, and distribute mail. Other girls work in Mr. Diehl's office. The training they receive is more along lines of banking and filing: some keep records for the school bank fwhich handles the money for over sixty-five organizationsl: others do the statistical work and filing for the guidance department of the school. The training received by pupils in both offices is extremely valuable, and the girls also receive a half credit for the work. Our school nurse, Miss Gilkey, spends five half-days a week in checking up on students who have been ill. We must also pay her a visit if we are having trouble with our eyesight or hearing. It is for her kindness and helpful advice that we will remember her gratefully. From left to right: Shirley Berg, Miss Smith, Dorothy Gilst ad, Betty M. Nelson.
