Floyd Stoutc — English 7, Social Studies 7 ... enjoys tennis, swimming, and creative writing. Ivy Turner — Chemistry ... Junior class sponsor ... fills leisure time by following sports. Mrs. Bessie West — Science 7 ... a structural member of the “bridge” (players!). Mrs. Lucille White — Reading 7 and 8 ... summer peregrinations to Yucatan and the Caribbean. Mrs. Patricia Wilkes — Algebra I, Senior Math ... Partial to mystery stories ... active in the American Legion. Mrs. Anna Williams — Civics, World Geography ... sponsor of Beta Club ... assistant sponsor of the Student Council. Secretaries keep things going. Man does not live by bread alone — nor do schools run without “oil on the wheels.” The oil to keep things rolling smoothly is supplied by those indispensable people who keep track of everything — the secretaries, receptionists, clerks. Do you need to know where to order school letters, or sweaters, or such? Ask Mrs. Allday; she’ll have the address on file. Want to check yesterday’s absentee sheet? Ask Mrs. Wilkins; she made the report. Have to know which books the library has on order? Ask Mrs. Barrow; she typed up the list. Teachers’ clerical summaries, requests, and reports pour onto the desks of these three people. Fortunately, they’re on the job to handle such inundations. Among her various activities. Mrs. Allday reviews the check out book, always keeping her finger on the 1500 students — a difficult job, as anyone would know who has tried to keep up with just one student. Mrs. Elizabeth Allday — School secretary ... painted the outside wood trim of her house last summer. Mrs. Eva Harrow — Library clerk ... loves to sew ... active in civic affairs — especially the Carnival Ball. Mrs. Betty Wilkins — School secretary ... attended school at LSU during the summer. 19
