Their duties included picking up the attendance slips, handing out announcements. running the bookstore. typing. and running errands. One of these students gave this comment, It's fun. You gain a lot of busi- ness experience. The secretaries' jobs were made much easier this year when morning detention, with its long list of students, was moved across the hall into room 20. This gave the secretaries the opportunity to prepare the morning announce- ments and attend to their other morning duties. Along with their other duties, the counseling office gained some responsibility when the tutoring program was taken over by Mr. Bodine. Because of the increase in van- dalism to the school, Mr. Grady was kept constantly busy. This went to such an extreme that locks were placed on the bath- room doors in order to curb the bathroom's destruction. 1 Ms. Rhea Werts. college counselor. 2
