Cfficials Planned Schedules . . . Mrs. Sarah W. Talbot, B.A., M.S. U of Missouri, U. of Southern California R t',L'l..WI rn r A flu epidemic, heavy rains, and numerous other con- tingencies resulted in long master absence lists and var- ious excuses from students who waited in daily lines in the attendance office. Mr. Harry Garber, supervisor of attendance, dealt efficiently with these problems as they arose. To keep attendance as high as possible, Mr. Gar- ber had to make home calls, telephone calls, and needed to counsel habitual absentees to stress the importance of school attendance to the individual and the school system. Mr. Garber's iob was the control of attendance throughout the school and the supervision of the at- tendance office. ln addition, he assisted the deans with student control. His iob also included the making and checking of many attendance reports to the state educa- tion offices, an important function, since much of the school's revenue is based on state aid for average daily attendance. The changing of boundaries for each school in the district last year made necessary careful checking of student addresses to see if they were properly en- rolled in the correct school, Keeping attendance at a high level and absenteeism at a minimum was indeed a difficult task because of the many varying conditions throughout the district. sa.. A seemingly-endless procession of students enrolling for classes or wanting program changes faced Mrs. Sarah Talbot, registrar, throughout the year. In charge of the organization and conduct of registration and en- rollment procedure, Mrs. Talbot had a difficult, and many times thankless, iob of placing students in classes sometimes bulging over with students, as the school enrollment mounted steadily throughout the year. Mrs. Talbot was also responsible for the scheduling of all' classes and of room assignments, a task particularly difficult because the rehabilitation program had made many classrooms unavailable for use. However, her insight of departmental needs and student-teacher re- lationship enabled her to execute her duties with un- derstanding and proficiency. In addition to scheduling classes and enrolling students, Mrs. Talbot had control of student records and the evaluation and mailing of transcripts, a particularly exacting iob and one of spec- ial significance to seniors, whose records had to be sent to colleges during mid-year. Every student's complete cumulative record is kept in Mrs. Talbot's office, where advisers record the necessary information on the proper forms. Mrs. Talbot was also a member of the Advisory Council and the chairman of the Guidance Council. Harry H. Garber, BA., M.S.
