78 fOffice Staff-Security-Social Worker-Nurse t . 9- X 1 'm Classes, Cars, Cuts, Conflicts Command Constant Consideration For the bookkeeper, attendance clerk and student accounting clerk, everyday was a busy one as pupil accounting, schedule changes, grade changes and the new two-hour blocks occupied not only the general eight to three day, but time before and after school and during the summer as well. The figuring of class schedules and any conflicts arising from them fell under the auspices of the office secretaries. I find my job fascinating, said Miss Felicia Reaves, student accountant, because this is a different occupation from any other. With this job, you can see the physical proof of your accom- plishments, whether they're good or bad. That's satisfying. Another individual important to the students was Mrs. Betty Young, the school nurse. Affectionately known to many as Nursie, Mrs. Young spent much time involved with people, wheth- er bandaging cuts, checking tempera- tures, phoning parents about illnesses or giving sight and hearing tests. She also continued to sponsor the Medical Ca- reers Club. Always helpful to the maintenance of student order, the security force dealt with various issues, including the issu- ing of parking tickets, the littering of school grounds, smoking in the rest rooms and the handling of unruly stu- dents. In the area of special problems both in school and at home, social worker Don Spies, a new-comer to Heights, served as a communication link be- tween student and teacher or student and parent.
