BI li obi til ir ioe te in Another busy morning begins as Mr. Fary gives Mrs. Crosby instructions for the day while Mrs. Mae Begley waits for her turn. Life for Faculty and Students “Office Traffic Only’ states an ominous notice taped to both entrances of the school office. For “traffic” is the only term for the stream of people flowing through the swinging doors. The articles on a desk indicate the varied activities. Faculty auto keys are waiting to be picked up by car wash employees. Staplers, pencils, and erasers lie in strategic positions for emergency use. Announcements are stacked on one corner to be read over the intercom. On Mr. Setien’s desk lie financial receipts, for through his hands pass all money matters. Data processing forms may be found on the desk of Mr. Schneider, who handles the year’s programming and student schedules. One finds the most interesting articles on Mrs. Helen Crosby's desk!
