From the look of the smiles on their faces, Mrs. Diane Albright, Mrs. Judy Yeaman, and Mrs. Inez Anderson enjoy their “9 to 5’ job. Monday morning rush hour: students flocked into Pupil Accounting to get first in line. Permission slips had to be obtained before students could be admitted to class or allowed to make up work. The well-trained staff kept records on file, atten- dance, discrepancies, locker combinations, and stu- dent schedules of past and present years. Working diligently every day, secretaries and student helpers provided valuable services for the entire school. People and passes. Checking in or checking out. Day after day, the qualified staff kept the records in order and students out of trouble. Headaches, stomach aches or just jitters before a big test. Whatever the illness, Nurse McAlister Carter cared for numerous students each and every day. It wasn’t easy to distinguish a flu bug from a typical case of butterflies. But the symptoms would always show through. Making people feel better was her task and Nurse Carter found time to diagnose each person’s ache or pain. A steady hand and friendly interrogation was the best remedy. Her load was never completely lifted, for all students experienced an occasional sickness which would allow them to check out. Always ready to heal the many bumps and bruises of GW-ites, Nurse McAlister Carter bandages Frank Anderson’s hurt finger.
