Who could type a letter in two minutes flat, keep track of a variety of records, answer three telephone calls, and take a coffee break all at the same time? The secretaries at San Qorgonio. Although not always noticed by students on campus, they played an important role in maintaining the high standards that San G. was noted for. Among the secretaries at school was Kate Lawrence, whose main job was to screen telephone calls and ar- range for substitutes. Why was she a secretary? Because it ' s what I know how to do. Linda Tomas was another such person at school who kept things in order. I enjoy working with the students. She sold annuals and ASB cards and attended school in her spare time. She hoped to acquire a Bachelor of Arts degree in accounting. In the health room, one could find Sarah Sayre who entered new students ' names into the computer and took care of sick or injured students. She also handled emergency phone calls to the paramedics and hospital. Denise Folgner took care of call slips, suspensions, ex- pulsions, and master schedules. In her spare time she lik- ed to garden, do needlepoint, cook, and play bridge. I went to work for the schools in 1947 and I haven ' t been out since. Among the other secretaries at San G. were Patricia Cotter who worked the switchboard and was the voice of the daily bulletins; Marlene Garot vice principal ' s secretary whose backward writing made the OCS list more interesting to read; Debbie McGarry, who took ap pointments for the counselors; and Becki Savage who was ready with transcripts and records for all students. All secretaries had to take a written test and have some prior work experience to be considered for employ ment at city schools. The clerical staff usually held a bir- thday party every quarter at someone ' s house to celebrate birthdays. The party included a potluck dinner, as well as, the entire clerical staff of San G. Parties were one way secretaries took time off from all the work they had to do to keep a complicated network running smoothly.
