Encourage Students Typewriters clicking at a frantic speed -- telephones ringing incessantly--announce- ments being read over the intercom sys- tem --voices mingling with the sounds of banging doors- -desk drawers being absent- mindedly shoved into place --file cabinets constantly being opened and closed. These assorted sounds and actions typify the Calumet High School office and the staff that run it so efficiently. These competent women have the tremendous task of organizing, filing, and keeping rec - ords of all school data, and do so with amazing ease and effectiveness. The Office Where Confusion Spells Efficiency FIRST: Mrs. Wilma McCain, the secretary to Mr. Hile. SECOND: Mrs. Marjorie LeRoy, the guidance secretary. THIRD: Mrs. Corine Redar, the bookkeeper. FOURTH: Mrs. Velia Caplinger, Registered Nurse. 21 The duties of the counselors of Calumet are many and varied. But their most im- portant job is preparing students for their later years. Each of the four classifica- tions of students has its own separate counselor. This counselor is responsible for scheduling the classes of all the stu- dents in his grade division. This process often includes having private counsulta- tions with pupils. The counselors assist us in choosing sub- jects that are best suited for us and our needs both now and in the future. Their guidance and foresight have proven invalu- able to the students.
