Assistants Learn Cffice Skills Working in the office, as assist- ants to the personnel, the office as- sistants learned many basic skills. They learned many fundamen- tals of office work. During the course of one day the assistants answered the tele- phone, took messages, typed and mimeographed material for teach- ers, collected absentee slips, and ran errands for the personnel. They also typed the agenda for the week's activities and photo- graphed important papers with the Zerox machines. These girls proved to be a valua- ble asset to the office personnel of A.H.S.
