Office Assistants Efficiency, reliability, and neatness were prime required qualities of the office helpers this year. Each period four girls assisted Mrs. McMullen in the main office. The iobs were many and the office assistants had a full schedule in maintaining the office's effectiveness. Within the confines of the office, they kept attendance records, operated the ditto machine, answered the telephone, and typed the necessary papers. During the period, they also ran errands, deliv- Cassandra Greggs, Susie Kretz, Val Taylor, Linda Cohon, Lynn Schumacher, Eileen Penny, Vicki Ries, ered YTISSSCQSS, Gnd collected the Sandy Spinner, Kathy Gable, Judy Gogulski, and Laureen Striker showed adept skill as office workers. attendance. clubs demonstrated efficiency in serving F.T.A.

Counselor Assistants Much of the efficiency and effectiveness in the counseling office this year was due to the hard work of the counselors' assistants. Each period several girls devoted an hour of their time to handling the routine work of the office. Each day many students sought the counselors' advice. In order to ease the pressure placed on the counselors, the assistants sent out student requests, typed bulletins and answered the telephone, sorted, and alphabetized. They also helped Mrs. Satterless, the counselors' secretary, in making copies of transcripts for colleges with the new photocopier. the school Library Assistants Efficiency was achieved this year in our library through the efforts of the library staff assistants, under the leadership of Mrs. Penhalurick, the librarian. In each period, four assist- ants were trained to become proficient in a variety of duties. Such duties included checking books in and out, as well as shelving them, organizing periodicals and vertical file material, and keeping the library orderly. After school as well as school time was involved in the library program. The services of Mrs. Green, the library secretary, were of great value as she kept our books in top shape. Counselor assistant Sue Follmer set up an appointment while Trina Thompson typed the bulletin. ln the counseling room the assistants were: Front: Sue Dullanty, and Sheri Danley. Sitting: Debbie Grigal, Terry Sanders, Marnie Stebbins, Linda Beebe, Cindy Sherwood, Dorothy Rodruck, Trudi Wright, and Lindy Magill. Standing: Leigh Stroud and Pam Rice. Audio-Visual The Audio-Visual equipment was kept in top shape by the squad of eleven iuniors and seniors under the super- vision of Mr. Orr this past year. The boys worked during and after school to run films for the counseling office and for drivers' training classes. The Audio-Visual department trained one person from each class each period to run the equipment thereby taking some of the load off the boys and letting them concentrate more heavily on maintenance. Tom Gunn, Mike Whitmer, Mike Crystal, Trigger Johnson, and John Heard used teamwork in pre- paring the proiector for class use. 83
