Working by M eaps and Bounds May 1 use the phone? Is Mr. Stahl busy? Where is Miss Connor this period? Each day the office staff patiently answer hundreds of questions such as these. Absences, scoldings, lost and found articles, emergencies of every kind, all these are efficiently looked after by those hard-working inhabitants of Ripple ' s office. Mrs. Clauser, in the bookstore, capably supplies Ripplites with the many articles needed in everyday school work. The staff in the main office, directed by Mrs. Hall, keeps the multitude of records up to date and in apple- pie order.

MR. C. EDGAR STAHL Courteous, capable C. Edgar Stahl, Ripple ' s man behind the scenes, keeps the bustling office and entire school working efficiently with his almost superhuman patience and organizing ability. His is a hard job, long on work and a bit short on applause, for as vice- principal some unpleasant duties sometimes come his way. He sees them through in the best Ripple tradition and comes up with a smile and a job well done. 10
