office girls toil daily FRONT ROW: B. Malaney, C. Pugmire, R. Stephens. ROW 2: J. Bailey, D. Attaway, B. Jones, S. Kilbarger. BACK ROW: F. Preston, S. Mortensen, N. Merrell. Library helpers learn as they work with books “We didn’t get much chance to breathe,” some student librarians might have said this year of their experience in sixth period library, when Mrs. Nathalie Van Gundy took advantage of having five all at once. As Buzz Fil- leman learned to letter spines of new and mended books, Terry Campbell indexed NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC articles and brought the author scrapbook up to date, Donna Varela, Josie Cervantes, and Marie Quinones took turns at the circulation records, mended books, and shelved them; and when students from speech class came on their frequent assignments, all librarians turned out to provide en- cyclopedias and magazines. Librarians in other periods were Ronald Anderson, Virgie Waters, Jane Hartley, and Darlene Gardner. Three mem- bers of the National Youth Corps helped after school and on Saturdays. Marie’s specialty was typing catalog cards, and on Saturdays she, with Shirleen Lancaster and Donna Nichols, mended books and performed many housekeeping chores. A special project in which several librarians participated during the year was binding magazines and cleaning out and rearranging the magazine-storage room. 17 M. Quinones, T. Campbell, D. Varela, V. Waters, R. Ander- son, H. Filleman, J. Cervantes, D. Gardner. Additional librarians for the second semester were Jane Hartley, Esther Valdez, Eilene Boyett.

School routine hums smoothly while Mrs. McEuen, LOMA MCEUEN Mrs. Loma McEuen, right-hand lady of Duncan High, fig- ures the honor roll, gives all kinds of information, sells school supplies, does the bookkeeping, and makes out pay vouchers. Office girls’ duties included running the ditto machine, typing tests teachers gave to students. These girls--Juanita Bailey, Sherrill Mortensen, Nancy Merrell, Sidni Kilbarger, and Charlotte Pugmire—col- lected absentee slips, sold lunch tokens, and ran general errands also. Other girls assisted elsewhere in the school. Bethleen Jones was kept busy typing letters and running errands for Mr. Clothier, while Mr. Bowman’s tests and letters kept Frann Preston and Diane Attaway occupied. Mr. Brubaker also had two high school assistants in the elementary school, Ruby Stephens and Brenda Malaney. Mr. Bowman advises students, assists teachers “What college should I attend?” “What field of work should I enter?” “What can I do to raise my grades so I can be proud of them?” Mr. Hubert Bowman, guidance counselor, helps the students to find the answers to such questions as these. From him and the achievement tests he gives, each finds the field of work in which he has the best chance of succeeding. Listening to his advice, they find themselves planning from the freshman year to the senior year proving “tomorrow begins with today.” Mr. Bowman, adviser to the student council, is also in charge of the local Youth Corps which has done much needed work around the school and town during the year. 16 HUBERT BOWMAN

STANDING: Jim Sanders, Dean Chapman, Duff Chapman, Reeves Knowlton, Jay Pierce, Antone Thygerson. Big Bus Serves York, Sheldon Because of the increasing population along the Clifton road, the Duncan district added a new, 84-passenger bus for the York- Sheldon area. Mr. Jim Sanders, its driver, turned his smaller one over to Mr. Tom Pace, who had replaced Mr. J. W. Santee on the Foster Lane-Stinson Lane route. Mr. Ivan Richardson took over the Bus 1 from Duncan to Sheldon when Mr. Reeves Knowlton stopped driving. Mr. Duff Chapman, having worked for Dun- can schools for more than 30 years, con- tinued this year to keep the buses in running order so they could get rolling early each morning and again at 3:15 each afternoon. 18
