MISS BROWN ASSISTANT CLERK Twenty years have seen many changes in the office. The first one was very small anci limited in facilities compared with modern standards. Its meager equip- ment included a typewriter, an old-style mimeograph, and a very small portable safe. With the new school came a modern mimeograph, a new calculator, several typewriters, and other equipment. Office procedure has made even greater progress. Until 1925, absentees were presented pink slips which had to be signed by all their teachers and returned to the office where they were matched with the originals. This plan necessarily required much time and effort on the part of all concerned. Today absentees simply register their written excuses with the clerk. Class enrollments were formerly handled in the office: now, students sign themselves into classes. Though Garfield has grown into a large and complex school. Miss Brown and Miss Hyde, our competent office clerks, perform their countless tasks with accuracy and a minimum of confusion. BETTY GOODS EFFICIENCY IS AN ASSET TO THE OFFICE

i V T 3. N. PORTER. PRINCIPAL The Arrow of 1940 is the twentieth volume of Garfield his- tory. A comparison of the first volume with the twentieth is inter- esting. Crude. someone would say. looking at that first volume. Judged by certain standards, the evaluation is true. But I see in that first volume the spirit that makes the twentieth volume the beauti- ful book that it is. Those Freshmen of 1920 wanted to do things. They were proud of their school, and they recognized no obstacles too big to surmount: and there were many obstacles in the way of producing that first volume. Each succeeding generation of students has attacked its problems with this same spirit of courage. I salute the staff and advisor in this crowning effort — the great volume of 1940.
