Webster defines an office as “a position of trust.” Central High’s General Office fits that definition to a “T.” This trust was placed in the capable hands of Mrs. Johnsie Jackson and Mrs. Doris Teague. As school treasurer, Mrs. Jackson was con¬ stantly busy taking telephone calls, order¬ ing supplies, issuing equipment, writing checks, settling insurance claims, finding substitute teachers, making trips to the bank and post office, collecting fees, and handling various reports. Mrs. Teague, sec¬ retary, assisted with correspondence, regi¬ stration, and bookkeeping, posted the school calendar, arranged student schedules, and handled all records of students, past and present. In addition to general office duties, Mrs. Teague gave much attention to pre¬ paring transcripts for college-bound senior students. Mrs. Evelyn Harris, counselor, gives assistance to Toni Oakley in completing her schedule of studies. to students in solving personal problems After writing the daily quota of checks and attend¬ ing to countless other office duties, Mrs. Johnsie Jackson, the school’s capable secretary-treasurer, cheerfully completes the day’s work. Mrs. Doris Teague, versatile secretary, writes down an important message for a student—only one of the many tasks in her day. 23
