Dangling jewelry and trailing scarves . . . spends three-fourths of her time puttering about the sink . . . presents a field of the fine arts to the masses. Mrs. Buckley, do you have a pen?

With the help of juniors and seniors she takes messages, gives lunch tickets, offers timely ad- vice to anyone in need, types the closing re- port, and, incidentally, is secretary to Principal Davis.

Mrs. Mary Pollard — School Nurse. Dispenser of medicants for miscellaneous ail- ments . . . gives freely of her professional skills . . . interests young girls in nursing through FNA 14
