in achieving personal, educational goals Two of the busiest people at Central this year were the secretaries in the General Office. Mrs. Johnsie Jackson, co-treasurer with Mr. Berry and secretary of the school, had numerous duties, such as answering the constantly ringing telephone, taking care of transcripts, looking after mail, and answer¬ ing the many questions of people who pass through the office each day. Mrs. Doris Teague, secretary to the principal, took care of Mr. Berry’s correspondence, filed records, helped to arrange schedules, processed blue sheets, and filled out reports. No matter how busy they were, the sec¬ retaries always found time to say a friendly word or to help a passing individual. Cer¬ tainly Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Teague could be called two very vital branches in Central’s “Berry-Patch.” Mrs. Evelyn Harris discusses with Paula Yates her scores on a standard reading test. With her daily quota of checks written and money counted, Mrs. .Johnsie Jackson, school treasurer, Mrs. Doris Teague performs the many secretarial prepares to make a trip to the bank. duties that make up her day’s work. 25
