How many times a day does someone have to go to the office --maybe to make a phone call, report illness, buy a pencil, tablet, or book--or redeem a book carelessly left in a classroom or on a locker—or meet the principal for praise, rebuke, or planning of school events? Mrs. McEuen answered the questions, wrote the excuses, and generally achieved the smooth running of the office machine. For troubles with studies and in scheduling; for puzzlements about after-high school plans and careers; for information on school and job prospects--students were channeled to Mr. Hicks, who kept in his files vocation guidance literature and college information. He also assisted Principal Wright in guiding students when they were dissatisfied or when their work was unsatisfactory. 17
