Office Staff Is Noted For Efficiency Mrs. Dora McCaleb Secretary Mrs. Ellen Snead Secretary Mrs. McCaleb labors over financial records as Mrs. Snead searches for a file. As the brain is the control center of the body, so the administrative office is the center of all school activities.

Their duties include acting as receptionists, car- rying on correspondence, keeping financial rec- ords for the school, and running the school book- store and clinic. In addition, they do much to light- en the workloads of Mr. Cvizic and Mr. Walker by settling many of the minor problems and disputes which arise during the course of an average school day. Mrs. McCaleb and Mrs. Snead supervise the compiling, printing, and distributing of daily ab- sentee lists as well as periodic notices to students and faculty members.

Band And Choir Give Recreation And Skills Band and choir classes at ACHS provide pleasant recreation as well as cultural skills. Musical pieces which students learn are chosen for the Christmas and spring concerts which the advanced band and all choir members present annually. At these times, students who have excelled in their efforts are able to display their talents in solo performances. Some students are oc- casionally given the opportunity to direct band and choir classes during the year; usually, these students are ones who plan careers in the field of music and who hope eventually to direct choirs or bands of their own. Besides their regularly scheduled con- certs, band and choir members often lend their talents to other school functions and to extracurricular activities. Thus, the skills acquired in their classes are often utilized in other phases of the students ' lives. Mr. Leonard W. Baber Concord College, B.S. Band Mrs. Flora K. Thompson Shenandoah Conservatory of Music, B.M. Choir Mr. Holbert presents the choir award to Connie Shires for Allan Tucker directs a choir class, her contributions as accompanist.
