Being the secretary of BRHS was a very complicated job, but was one that Mrs. Streeter enjoyed. Her duties included such responsibilities as: handling incoming and out-going mail, all accounting affairs, and all other business responsibilities of a high school. Those who work long and hard were required to check-in and check out through this office, as well as have their absence excuses sent their to go on their records. These jobs, as well as many others, were taken care of by Mr. DeJean and Mrs. Nyman. Both Mr. DeJean and Mrs. Nyman were busy every day keeping up with student absences, compiling the daily and lengthy absentee report, and receiving student applications for admission to the school. Anne Baker Jerry Carraway Phoebe Gatperecz One of the busiest offices in the school was the guidance office. Mrs. Baker worked diligently all year with the juniors and seniors, preparing them for national tests and college. Mrs. Gasperecz, who returned and replaced Mrs. Posey, handled the guidance of the sophomores and freshmen. Both counselors handled the difficult task of scheduling, with the help of Mrs. Carraway, the secretary of their office. BRHS prided itself in having a very complete library. Mrs. Brown, who was head librarian, ran the library, assisting students and teachers, handling check-outs, and the other major library duties. Mrs. Brown was assisted by Mrs. Fisher, whose main responsibility was taking care of the visual aid equipment. The duties of the librarians were many, but with the aid of Mrs. Magee, the library secretary, things were kept in order. Melva Brown Gaudia Fisher Maurine Magee 28 Faculty
