Secretaries Aid Administrators Meeting both faculty and students with pleasant smiles, the office secretaries, Alma Clarke and Hilkka Egtvedt, are a friendly and indispensabfe part of our school. Alma Clarke is well known to A.H.S. stu¬ dents. Besides keeping records, she also en¬ joys cracking the whip over the office girls. Serving as personal secretary to Mr. Par¬ nell is only part of Hilkka Egtvedt ' s job. Her other specific jobs include filling requisi¬ tions made out by school clubs and handling college transcripts. Some students feel it is too bad that she is also burdened with mail¬ ing the dreaded pink slips. A ' “Two heads are better than one.
