MARY CHEVALLIER OFFICE STAFF Somewhere, in all complex organizations, exists a small nucleus whose only purpose is to insure smooth functioning of the entire cell. This duty lies with the Office Staff. The necessary evil of forms and paperwork must be correctly done and a communications network must be efficiently run. The office is where the telephone calls must be coordinated, information dissemin- ated, funds correctly audited, and data centralized. The Office Staff must be telephone operators, mail carriers, typists, book- keepers and information automations. They must know rules, regulations, mathematics, and English. They must be able to interpret all the complex forms or decipher reports. Many times their tasks are difficult and drab. Other times they can prove to be easy and exciting. Under the direction of Mrs. Chevallier our ship of state has kept a smooth and steady course. 'WM lf' Q a LORNA FISHER KATHERINE HANFORD

MACHINE SHOP Expert and skillful machinists emerge through the patient, precise instruc- tion of Mr. Proulx and Mr. Blackburn. The beginning machine student learns first the quality product is the goal of his labors. First year machine shop students are taught the use of lathes, milling machines and grinders. Introduction to the various machines is facilitated by student projects for their own use or shop use. From construc- tion of small tools for his own use, to fabrication of new parts for repair of shop machinery, to rebuilding of parts and repair for all outside jobs, in every product form follows function with precision the keynote. The second is reserved for a wide variety of projects which give the machinist invaluable work experience in advanced machinery technique. MR. ROMEO PROULX MR. FRANK BLACKBURN

DOCTOR AND NURSE Two of the most important people on the Henry Abbott staff are the school doctor and nurse. They are: Dr. Henry Blansfield and Mrs. Alberta Weinheimer. Although they are seldom seen and almost never heard from, these people are always there to treat our ills. Mrs. Weinheimer, who is on duty at the school handles all minor injuries, such as cuts and bruises incurred in the shops. More serious injuries are referred to Dr. Blansfield. We the class of 1964 wish to express our appreci- ation to them for all they have done for us. ,-ll '-,K ALBERTA WEINHEIMER, R.N. ff? ,ff :Se i e e t I DR. HENRY BLANSFIELD, M.D
