This duty involves typing, filing, and sort- ing of books and catlogue cards, and the circulation of the books. They also have the responsibil- ity of sending out notices of re- served and overdue books. In addition, they perform many mechanical duties, such as, shel- ving, helping in the processing of books, and in the care of film- strips. Office and Guidance Staff The General Office Staff con- sists of girls, both juniors and seniors, that volunteer to sacri- fice their study hall period to work and receive experience in the office. Each period there are specific jobs to be done. They consist of typing, filing, prepar- ing the attendance bulletin, writ- ing absence cards, fixing the daily bulletin, distributing mail, running errands, and doing any clerical work pertaining to an office. Most of these girls are seniors, and those in the Secre- tarial Course receive extra cred- it for the marking period. Be- sides performing office duties, they are also an aid to all teach- ers wanting a job done.
