I 's Not Hard to Get Help These ASSISTANTS Student Assistants ran cr- rands for the main office, they delivered call slips for the deans. and they worked to help organize passes. While different students had routine duties, they all learned about the organization of school of- fices and libraries. Main office assistants did everything from sorting out materials to be delivered to the students to delivering counselor request slips. They sometimes spent long periods of time filing or looking up students' names for reference. The attendance office assis- tants worked primarily for the deans of students, filing or taking call slips to the stu- dents, much like main office workers. ln any spare time, of- fice assistants from both of- fices could catch up on a few of their studies. ABOVE: SHAWN SMITH posts cs- sential information in the Main office 77 Assistants Library workers learned a lot about the organization of a library. They ran errands, op- erated the computer, shelved book, etc. Most of the time they were kept busy checking out books, pictures, or hunting for Reader's Guide magazine articles. They seldom had time to waste. The assistants all worked continually in their settings. Those who chose the time as an opportunity to goof around didn't last in their helping positions. All Assis- tants had to be responsible, mature workers who helped the school world run smoothly. RIGHT: EVETTE MULVANEY and Tina Grayned sort out passes to be delivered.

Assistants worked in the chemistry lab, gym, media cen- ter, and nurses's office. Chemistry assistants had to be quite responsible. Working in a chemistry lab required care and maturity. If students wree the least bit careless or showed any signs of horseplay, danger- ous situations could have easily arisen. WAlT! l'LL DO that for you! Lee Ann O'Dell says. Nurse assistants had to fol- low those same standards. Mrs. .losefson the nurse, said that she didn't need students whose only intentions were to get out of school classesg she wanted workers! Responsibility and maturity were the top require- ments for any student who ap- plied to work in her office run by strict discipline. Gym assistants ran errands, filed, typed, or did any number of things the P.E. department needed. Similarly, the AVA as- sistants took audio-visual mate- rials to classroom and assisted students and teachers who used those materials. They also ran errands or did a number ofjobs that AVA Director Ken Seidl needed to have completed. Their responsibilities were end- less. While working in these envi- ronments, students learned a great deal. By watching or as- sisting the faculty adviser they worked for students gained knowledge they wouldn't have learned in their classrooms. The faculty members they worked for sure appreciated their well- done. - by Bruce McGee win K 1:14:18 n f 'ff 'E s- ..- ' Al NURSE JOSEFSON FILLS out re- port after report, furthering her fight against disease.
