Practice To Develop Skills And Talents Ever since childhood, when we discovered that we had a special ability to harmonize in a singing group, or catch a friend’s likeness with pencil and paper, we’ve been encouraged by our parents and teachers to work with and develop that talent. We are still working and practicing—in the A Cappclla Choir,our voices blending with a hundred others; in the band or the orchestra, inarching at game half-time, or playing for a P.T.A. meeting, we give and receive pleasure. In the Arts Building, artistic hands sketch, paint, work with pajxrr or soft clay, and give form to ideas and images conceived in artistic minds. Our creativity carries over into the home arts rooms, where a girl with a bit of material, a needle and thread, and a streak of originality can create lovely clothing. Stronger hands work with metals and woods, heavy machines, to pro- duce graceful trays, lovely jewelry, or household objects. Every burst of creativity nurtures a talent that grows. MR. GEORGE G.

Mis. Schneider and Mrs. Gralf. secretaries of B-CC, take messages, keep records, and com- municate with the outside world. Communications — In the early, early morning hours, when many a sleepy-eyed student is just beginning to think about getting up, our front office personnel are on their way to a hard, nine-hour day behind the main desk in the Ad building. Well-supplied with information, advice, and innumerable file systems, our secretaries brave barrages of students, inquisitive visitors, and frantic parents trying to get a forgotten lunch to their Susie or Johnny before lunch time. Somewhere in between making phone calls and answering questions, the secs find time for the tedious and top-secret job of keeping the permanent record files and personality blanks accurate and up-to-date. It’s in the late fall that the office really begins to buzz, though. College applications come pouring in from every senior, and each one means that transcripts must be compiled and sent post-haste in all directions. An average of three transcripts for each of the -176 seniors gives a rough idea of the number of hands three secretaries could easily use. Fast on the heels of the transcript rush comes a flood of registration cards from the juniors and sophomores. More results to be tabu- lated, more cards to be filed, and the paper work piles up and up and up. Did we say we had work to do? Mrs. Leimbach, registrar, sends for transcripts of incoming students, sees (hat our incomplete grades arc cleared, and totals our credits toward gradua- tion. 22
