Office personnel and staff stop and observe something off camera that is obviously more entertaining than their assigned duties Junior Enjoys Working Daily In School Office I feel one of the greatest advantages of being an office assistant is getting to know the administration, states junior Debbie Com- mander. l have benefited greatly by working in the office. Office assistants perform various iobs such as answering phones and taking messages. They learn how the administration of a school functions. Office workers directly help the student body by assisting students in finding lost articles, relaying messages, and checking them in and out of school. Student assistants also aid faculty members in numerous ways. They run errands. take phone messages. and file papers for them. A student becomes an office assistant by contacting different offices within the school and offering to serve as an assistant for the period he is available. Office workers do not earn a credit, but they do use a study hall constructively. Being an office assistant requires a lot of hard work and effort, but I feel that my experience will help me in getting a job, says Cindy Bare, senior.

Assistant Feels Library Work as Advantages Working in the library has a lot ot advantages, states Jimmy Postlewaite, one of the many assistants. While working in the library, one meets a lot of people and gets to learn how a library works. Library assistants help students find, and check books in and out. They also show students the correct way to use the card catalog and the vertical files. Moreover. the assistants help to make students aware of the wide variety of reading and research materials. Copying material out of books for students on the library's copy machine is another duty of an assistant. The library is also equipped with a micro film reader which is located in the reference room. Another one of the many tasks of a library assistant is to help maintain peace and quiet in order for students to study. Carl Halsey sums it up. Working in the library gives me a good feeling of helping people. l45
