One of the bright notes among their daily tasks was the gather- ing up of attendance slips, which some- times yielded such diverse 1tems as gro- cery lists and love notes. Other respon- sibilities include delivering passes and memoranda to the teachers, taking tele- phone ealls and distributing the numer- ous seventh period slips. Other commercial students spent tense hours taking dictation from Mr. Young or Mr. Steger, helping Miss Schmidt in the Junior high office or cut- ting programs and running off stencils in the commercial office. fifteen ——-

Student Treasurers URING the past nine months, over $13,000, the largest amount of money taken imn during any one year, Howed safely in and out of Ames High’s coffers, thanks to the efforts of the stu- dent treasurers. When an emaciated, harried-lookine individual was seen tottermg through the halls, chances were vood that it was a student treasurer making the rounds of those who must sign his requisition. Not only did the rules require his own insignificant name on the dotted line, but to conform with Ames High’s elab- orate system of cheeks and double cheeks he also had to secure those of his sponsor and Mr. Young. This accom- plished, general treasurer Miss Mary MeNally made out a cheek for the amount specified on the requisition, after which the recipient was required to initial it, one copy beine kept by the student treasurer and the other by Miss MeNally. The student treasurer, somewhat wearied by the performance of this ојо ди ће feat, very often mistook a 3 for an 8. But, since the duplieate books kept by the student treasurer and the ceneral treasurer were checked once a month, the few errors made were readi- ly corrected. Those activities which had no visible means of support were helped by or- ganizations showing a profit for the previous year. Toe Row: A. Paulson, J. Galligan, A. Hausrath, L. Kester, D.
