FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL Orville Berwick, u junior, getting on admit slip lrom Normo leon Husher, student ottlcc osaistont from office practice closs. The Office For a few weeks Miss Puglia was kept quite busy in the office checking tardiness, making appointments for students tv: see Dr. Evans concerning desired schedule changes or eliminat- ing conflicts in class assignments. Be- sides this work the office secretary was kept vtry busy making out forms for the clralit board concerning alumni called to the services. Then ol' course there came the day- a heautilul day. a bright student.. but oh, what a thought. The day before was spent just enjoying yourself and today you must suller the conse- quences. To the oll'ice we journey to obtain an excuse. Then Shirloek Virginia pursues your case, Opening Session On September 5, 1944, approximately 900 students trudgcd their way to school. They came from all directions. Up the hill, down the hill, and on busses. Students who failed to read the paper the preceding day found their name and home room numbers on the bulletin board in the front hall. During the morning periods the stu- dents received their books, and had their seats arranged. The morning went quickly and before they knew it, it was noon dismissal time. School began in the afternoon at 1:05, Some students had an eighth period class while the rest were dis- missed at 2:45. Thus began the school term of 1945. 4-if 4 .l Senior High School Office Secretory Virginia Puqlio, ot her desk cutting ci stencil, Di Monk Fvous, Principal, ousisting Jomcs Di Fionks to orrongc O chonge in his 4 loss schedule Absenteeism You were absent? Why? I don't know whether vou'll be able to go to class or not, I'll see if Dr. Evans will interview you. The little walk from the main office to the Principal's pri- vate office seems like a voyage peril- ous. The door of this private sanctum instills an everlasting fear in you. Dr. Evans cames right straight to the point. Then those cold-blooded words regis- ter, you have detention for illegal absence. Then you ask yourself, Was it worth lt? Yes sireelll' Mr, Evans continually dwelt on the fact that thoughts that lead to illegal absence should be overcome. A drive against vacationing during school was enforced to the utmost. After spend- ing a week in detention hall, any thoughts of missing school became a dream instead of reality.
