Business manager Mr. Charles Gaul, with the help of Mrs. Thelma Mason, educational sec- retary, kept an accurate record of all of the school's financial affairs. Among the varied duties were the sale and distribution of the yearbook and activity tickets, the collection of student obligations, and making ar- rangements for both team and student buses for games in other cities. Ten secretaries were employed by the school dur- ing the year. Mrs. Mary Hawk served as registrar. Both Mrs. Ruby Shouse and Mrs. Jean Sayre helped in the main resource centerg Mrs. Mary Whipple and Mrs. Mary Minick took care of attendance. In the counsel- ing center Mrs. Eloise Peckham and Mrs. Catherine Ballard aided students, while Mrs. Myrna Beck and Mrs. Minnie Bell Wehner acted as receptionists in the main office. Among the secretaries' duties were such things as making arrangements for the tours that the many vis- itors took throughout the year, making attendance re- ports, and helping students sign up for college tests.
