A Cushion Pro vided Mr. CLARENCE BACHA Attendance Supervisor When you go in the attendance office on the morning you return to school after being absent you will discover that it is usually in ci mild state of confusion. This is very understandable, as it is the job of Mr. Bacha and his clerks to keep absence records accurate. They take care of all the passes to leave the school grounds, assign detention to all those who play h00key and keep straight the records which enable our school to receive state funds on the basis of average daily attendance. if - K KJ First aid is an everyday necessity for someone. Mrs. MARY ALLARD fleftl and Mrs. MILDRED WYLIE, attendance office clerks, re-admit students after their absence. Nurse Brown is frequently found patching up someone in her busy office. Students with tummy aches, tired blood,.A and even broken toe nails pour in her office daily. lt is the job of Nurse Brown to issue excuses to students who can't participate in their gym classes,to phone parents of a student who has become ill and has to go home, and to take care of all emergencies that arise. rw :una im nu uw eu we 1-WD 1 QOU KAN DO ' - R IF WU DONT i 33- 'fi CARE WHO GETS Till ULCDIT.
