Mrs. Lillian Topodas, the new secretary in the counseling office, is making out photostatic copies of senior transcripts to be sent to the colleges. Mrs. Topodas is espe- cially interested in colleges be- cause she has a son, Jonathan, a senior at Classical and a daughter Kathy at the University of North Carolina. Students like Roselyn Warner find secretaries Mrs. Mary Sheehan and Mrs. Mary Triggs helpful ad- visers when they are seeking in- formation about passes, bus tickets, home assignments, dismissals, tele- phone messages and other perplex- ing problems.
