The LIBRARIANS and library staff spent a busy year as more books were circulated and more students used the library than ever before. Health service covered first aid. physical examinations, and education on diet, health and habit routines. NURSES conferred with parents, teachers, and counselors regarding students' needs in these areas. The tasks of the CLERICAL PERSONNEL were numerous and different each day. Besides taking care of the daily announcements. they worked as stenographers, file clerks and receptionists. The OFFICE CLERKS and secretaries performed the numerous tasks essential to the smooth running of BHS. Distributing books, tending the switchboard, and running duplicating machines were but a few of the duties of these able women, who also helped keep in order all records of the boys' and girls’ nurses’ offices.

Whether a girl wished to continue into college or venture into the business world, each counselor worked with the individual, showing her how she could meet and solve her problems. As the MEN COUNSELORS guided students toward adult life, they kept a constant check on their pupils’ major and graduation requirements. Among their duties throughout the year were to encourage and assist students in developing better study habits, to encourage better behavior on campus and a cooperative attitude toward the school.
