Administrators and office personnel are people too, but the student body rarely gets to know them. Between at- tending meetings, trying to organize pep assemblies, keeping tabs on absen- tees and tardies, dealing with unruly parents and students, and performing tedious office work, we seldom see the personal side of the people in the front office. At 7:30 a.m., most of us were just roll- ing out of bed. But for the people in the front office, it was the beginning of a very long day. According to Mr. Sam Stueart, Dean of Students, A normal day could start anywhere from 6:00 to 7:30 a.m.', Mrs. Nancy Howard and Mrs. Ruth Hartwick had to arrive early and sometimes stay late to handle the normal chaos of the front office. Mrs. Mattie Ruth Tipton, the school registrar, said, 'Tm not like what most kids think I am. I really do have a sense of humor. Her duties include keeping school records, handling all attendance and enrolling and withdrawing. She was also in charge of all of the tran- scripts of the student body. Mrs. Tipton remarked that McClellan was one of the few schools in the district with a full time registrar. Mrs. Martha Gresham, another of the office personnel, is the school book- keeper. She is in charge of the new com- puter system that was installed this year and for training the students to operate them. When asked about her image she says, I raised four kids with- out killing them. I can't be all badf, Mrs. Charlotte Atkins', assistant principal, responsibilities included classroom observations, patrolling the school grounds, and handling parent, teacher, and student relationships. Mr. Oliver Ford, assistant principal, had a full time job of keeping the cam- pus clean but had many other duties besides these. Last, but not least, Mr. Bob Cross had the responsibility of helping all of these people to create an- other successful school year. . ,B Regular substitute teacher 'hong receives her classroom assignment from Mrs. Ruth Hartwick. 4 A in Q ,,. .f s N ' fl stai n . . .
