Secretaries Work Amid Confusion GIVING CHANGE FOR the telephone was not the only job that Harrison's secre- taries had. Their work consisted of making progress reports, typing report cards and newsletters, and doing other t ical secre- tarial jobs. As Mrs. Mary Gal oway tmain officei ut it itWe learn to perform under man dlfferent interruptions. But we donit min . Weire used to it. W i A new main office secretary, Miss Val 051,5 a ' , I f, ' Adler, came in November to replace Mrs. I Georgia Gault who transferred to East J un- ior ngh. Miss Adler was not alone in the main office; with her was Mrs. Irene Young. Together they worked amid the confusion. Mrs. Irma Tosh and Mrs. Mary Galloway worked in the counseling center again this year. In comparison with last year, they were more organized and everything ran smoothly due to registration. Mrs. Ruth Oswald, library secretary, assisted Miss Jean Thomas in the library, and once again Mrs. Ethel Wheelock worked in Special Ed. Mrs. Gloria Devlin worked in the co-op cen- ter this ear, and for her fourth year; Mrs. Nanc ahr worked as secretary in the atten ance office. 23

Movies Enhance Appreciation Of Literature THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT contin- ued to teach students an appreciation of lit- erature, but with a different twist this year. Movies, based on books,-and starring actors such as Henry Fonda were shown to the stu- dents. This enabled the students to actually experience the literature and thus learn from it. The department also planned two field trips. The students went to see Eugene OiNeilis screen play The Ice Man Cometh, at the Old Orchard Theater. Another trip took them to see Othello in Stratford, Ontario. English Department chairman, Mrs. Carla Barrett was pleased with the results of these trips. Students were able to take a new kind of reading improvement course called iReading Techniques' This class gave students who werenit able to keep up with the standard reading machine, a new way in which to improve their reading without the machine. 25
