.5 George has been pretty busy at the whee1 this year. Mrs. Hunter, his faithful official secretary for the past number of years, was forced to resign, due to ill health, from a fulltime secretary to a part-time secretary at the end of the first semester. Joan Kent, an efficient senior, began as part-time secre- tary at the beginning of second semester and is training for the official secretarial work for next school year. Other secretaries were selected by the prin- cipal and the head of the Commercial Depart- ment to work in the outer office during their study hall hours. They were selected on the basis of character, accuracy, scholastic ability, and their interest in general office work. They are: Mary Ellen Mock, first hour: Helen Kim- ble. second hour: Helen Trumpp, third hour: Joan Kent, fourth hour: Margaret Crim- mins, fifth hour: and Theresa Schumaker, sixth hour. Perhaps you wonder what these girls did! They were the busy-little errand girls about Marceline Hunter the office. They did all that was asked of them to do from taking phone calls to mak- ing the announcements over the speaking system! and then somel. Here's many thanks! from all of us to Mr. Stevens. Mrs. Hunter, and the others who deserve praise and appreciation for their smooth management of the many office duties at our institution. .nl ra- p Mary Ellen Mock, Helen Kimble, Helen Trumpp, Joan Kent, Margaret Crimmins.

Admini tration I L... . GEORGE C. STEVENS, Principal Emporia State Teachers College, B.S. Oklahoma University, M.S. Sure, we all know the man behind the desk in the office! He always has a broad grin and cheery hello for everyone he sees. It's nobody else but our own principal, Mr. George C. Stevens. Mr. Stevens is noted by the students and many others for his courtesyg cheerfulnessg fine ability to speak to a group in a kind, tactful mannerg and for many other desir- TEN able traits. When we see his '46 Station- Wagon 4Fordl, that gives us the clue that he has already arrived at school. Our principal was re-appointed by Ex- Governor Schoeppel to serve on the Kansas School Retirement Board until the year of 1949. He was first appointed by Ex-Governor Ratner in 1939.
