Since the office is one of the most frequently visited places in the school, we shall meet its per- sonnel. Early each morning UQ you will find Miss Marjorie Reed arriving. She is secretary to Mr. Glass and is a graduate of Dor- mont High School. She occupies the main office and meets many of the students there. Then Miss Jean Sloan arrives. As secretary to Dr. Stewart, she also meets many of the students when she gives them their working permits. NShe is a graduate of South High. The secretary to the school board is Miss Ruth Mahaffey. She has her office down at the end of the hall and is also a graduate of Dor- mont High. She takes care of the financial accounts of the school. In Miss Reed's office there are a few little t'helpers who work f?J one period a day in the office. Any time you go in there, you will find one of them struggling with the switchboard. Miss Reed's peeve is all the children that are tardy. Miss Sloan's is the pupils that are pay- ing for books but don't know the name, only the color. Miss Ma- haffey's is the muscle she gets in her arm from working the adding machine when she is figuring out the income taxes. But everyone works together and things run along quite smoothly. if af if TORCH 1945 Page 9 THE OFFICE OF D SERVICE WITH A SMILE Open Day and Night R O X Y ' S RIGHT FOOD . . .

Page s TORCH 1945 af ff if DORMO T HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY THE FACULTY OF DORMONT HIGH SCHOOL DORIS KIRK LAND VVel1, here's the faculty- in whose hands we trustingly place ourselves. They see us through each day and check our papers in the evening. Yes, fellow students, school work is as hard on them as it is on us. Cln case you hadn't realized it.J A newcomer this year is Miss Paul down in Room 32. A welcome addition to the faculty, she is doing' big things with the Home Eco- nomics Dept. But it seems that there can't be a gain without a loss, because Mr. Byland, who was our head janitor, has left. Taking' his place is Mr. Bonnar, who is doing: quite a good job-quite. Aside from these changes, every- thing remains the same. V00 4 ENGLISH '-'George W. Snyder Marjorie Jones Mary Burton Ruth Nebinger Martha M. Morrow HISTORY :liRussell L.

W'ell, that is the Torch staff. It is interesting to see a group of girls talking together about this and that, a few doing shorthand, the boys talking to Mr. Reed, and Club Editors: Virginia Waslosky Thomas Hanzas Business Managers: Anne Kirkland Justin Fair Soprts Editors: Frank Heinrichs Bernard Powers the Editor trying to get everyone to cooperate. But, it can be done! Room 218 could be seen occupied until after 5 o'clock with these busy children racking their brains trying to think? ? 7? Finally some- one got the idea of basing the Torch on a newspaper plan. They got all excited and just couldn't wait to get started. Can't you tell? Girl's Sports Editor: Ann Little Student Photographer, Jack Pearce Director of Art: William E. Reed Editorial and Business: Advisor: Frederick W. Agnew The art staff drew up the plans, feature writers wrote up their articles, sports edito1's and club editors w1'ote their sections, pic- tures and cartoons were finished and put in, the cover was selected, and everything was sent to the printer. It sounds simple but it required a lot of hard work from the staff, It Says Here!
