Qlfice Staffs Mrs. F. Lewis, Mrs. D. Swisher, Mrs. I. Quick. Qfiice Workers Aided Faculty Few people fully appreciated the hard work done by the men and women who worked in the principal's office and the business office. These workers performed tasks beyond the call of duty in turning out satisfactory work without receiving the recognition they deserved. The staff in the principal's ofiice did an efficient job of keeping class records, making up the honor rolls, getting the school bulletins out, and handling Mr. Milhon's business correspondence and the statistics of D.l-l.S. Many students did not realize Mr. Hayes and Mr. VVhitesell talked over ticket sale. how necessary this force was in the administra- tion of the school. Special awards should also be given to Mr. Newtson and Mr. Hayes for the excellent job they did in the Business Ofhce. Their duties in- cluded taking care of all the money matters of D.H.S. and distributing tickets during the football and basketball season. This required an extra amount of patience, time, and energy which they had to have in order to satisfy everyone. This year they also received the job of selling tickets for Moments Musical. Mr. M. Hayes and Mr. L. Newtson. 1' 'lkvmzlyeflzree
