'LAP is Carol Simmons, Ruth Reutzel, Mary Lou Prophater One of Baldwin's secretaries is Miss Reutzel, who spends most of her time in Mr. Paynteris office taking care of his large volume of cor- respondence. Miss Prophater and Mrs. Sim- mons take care of the High School office. They are busy each day efficiently typing letters, filing student records, mimeographing for the teachers, answering phone calls, and doing bookkeeping for the cafeteria funds. Both of these secretaries are invaluable to Mr. McGibbeny and Mr. Brandtonies. Miss Byrne, the nurse, and Miss Baily, the dental hygienist, do their part to keep our students strong and heathy. Each is busy every year with the many examinations given to students and always do the best they can to help someone not feeling well. Our counselors are Miss Pensom and Mr. Harrison. Through individual inter- views they help each student plan the course that is best for him. Mrs. Silverhart, who re- placed Mrs. Boni in December, conducts home visitations. Elizabeth P. Pensom, J. Ernest Harrison, Dorothy Boni Eleanor A. Baily, Helen P. Byrne
