The llffice Stall No small or easy task is that performed by Academy's efficient and capable Office Staff. Miss Hakel, Miss Waugh, and Miss Weber have a never-ending job, keeping scholastic records of twenty-five hundred students and daily records to show the whereabouts of every pupil. This is only a part of the work of the Qffice Staff. Issuing bulletins, answering telephone calls, checking supplies, and making out the payroll are all tasks vital to the smoothness of Academy's administration. These, and a thousand and one other details are all handled by the Office Staff. lt is their un- tiring work which keeps the school on its toes from 8:30 until 3:00. Illegal absences will always be with us, but they are a minor problem at Academy, where student time is filled with activities which encourage regular attendance. As- semblies, sports, clubs, and movies all make the school day more enjoyable. The latest statistics show that total absences among the student body have been cut to less than three per cent. Under the new attendance system recently inaugurated, boys returning to school after periods of absence obtain admits from Mr. Kelly, while girls go to Miss Lockwood. ln order to secure an admit, it is necessary to bring a legitimate excuse, signed by a parent or guardian. Without an admit, students are unable to return to classes. Although the attendance record was favorable, tardiness was a serious problem at Academy. The l94l-42 report was not up to the usual standards, and during the second semester it was found necessary to provide a detention hall for late-comers. The situation improved. Apparently Academy students had to have it pointed out to them that being on time is a serious matter. Pupils must realize that all tardiness is recorded in school records, and that employers always check on this. Colleges, also, in addition to scholastic standing, are concerned with individual attendance records.
