Secretaries Perform Countless Tasks The principal's office represents the crossroads of the school. Here faculty and students stop for ad- vice on the hundreds of small administrative tasks which vary from the issuance of school supplies, use of the telephone, or permission to enter or leave class. The position which Mrs. Delores Dixon holds could be compared with that of a traffic officer at a busy city intersection. It is her job to answer the routine questions, take care of an endless number of excuses, and filter appointments to those seeking advice from the principal. Yes, the principal's secretary is an important job. ABOVE: Mrs. Delores Dixon, secretary to Mr. Rapp, high school principal. BELOW: Mrs. Harriet Vinyard, secretary to superintendent of school Mr. Max. The duties of Mrs. Harriet Vinyard consists largely of assisting the superintendent in keeping re- cords of the income and expenditures of the school; preparing financial reports and payrolls; writing school correspondence and news releases; and the distribution of mail. Mrs. Vinyard is always pleasant and lends a helping hand to many students during her full day at CCHS. 15

Language Arts - A Balance o A student has an opportunity to receive four years of in- struction in language arts while at CCHS. During this time his work is divided equally between grammar, composition and literature. This gives the English student a balanced study be- tween the mechanics of English and classical literature. Language arts is required of all students during the first three years of high school. Language Arts IV, a senior elective, is a college prepara- tory course designed to familiarize the student in the field of English literature. In addition, extensive study is made in the writing of documented papers. Rodney Mills gives sophomore Jerry Holler- bach individual attention on a theme as- signment. ROBERT WILLS B. S.
