IN APPRECIATION Ask Maxine! This phrase is heard many times a day at Ada High School as Mrs. McBride - or Maxine, as she is more commonly called - performs her varied duties. She manages the office; keeps financial records of all school activities; types and mimeographs schedules, programs other sundry items; answers queries from faculty, students, parents, and visitors; and serves as secretary to Mr. Lucas, Mr. Younkman, and the Board of Education. However, regardless of circumstances, Maxine never shows exasperation nor gives a sharp retort, but she is always there with a courteous answer and a helping hand. Mrs. McBride is not an all work and no play person. For relaxation she enjoys reading philosophy, bowling, swimming, playing tennis, and listening to her hi-fi records with her husband, Howard. With deep appreciation the annual staff proudly dedicates the 1961 WE to MRS. MAXINE DERINGER McBRIDE Mrs. Maxine McBride
