MAIN OFFICE Each period of the school day a different girl helped in the main office. Running errands, an- swering the phone, re- gistering transfers, and sending drop statements were among their respon- sibilities. SERVICE GROUPS Thank you members of service groups in MHS! Thank you for voluntarily giving up so much of your valuable time in order to serve others. Without the assistance of people like you, our school would be much less efficient in meeting the needs of students. NURSE S OFFICE Girls pictured at the far left each helped the nurse one period a day. They took temperatures, helped to examine patients, saw that the sick were comfortable and cared for, and answered the phone. By doing this, the girls not only offered helpful and appreciated services, but also gained much valu- able knowledge and ex- perience in caring for the sick. MISS RIMEL S OFFICE Girls who worked in the office of Miss Evelyn Rimel, dean of girls, had practically the same duties as those who worked in the main office. These girls also delivered pink slips containing important messages for students, recorded attendance, checked absences, and kept up the office bulletin board. Requests to work in either office were made at the beginning of each semester. MOVIE OPERATORS Movies for classes, as- semblies, and noontime en- tertainment were shown by the movie operators. Evening pictures were sometimes shown to town groups, too. Meeting about every other week, operators dis- cussed various operating problems. They checked movie schedules regularly with C. B. Worthen, ma- nager, and volunteered to show the movies when- ever they could. LIBRARY At the beginning of each semester this year, girls volunteered or were asked to help in the li- brary during their free periods. In the library they checked attendance, helped students to find books and information, checked books in and out, sent overdue slips, and returned books to the shelves. Two girls worked each period. Those who had worked three consecutive semesters were entitled to wear a blue and gray emblem with an open book on it.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE One of the first activities of the Administrative Committee this year was the selling of Courtesy Cards, which allow student owners reduced rates for one year at Fox Inter-mountain theaters. From this project, S. C. made $190. Meeting most Wednesdays after school with Chairman Roy Barkley and Sponsor Reuben Zeig, members considered and planned many varied pro- jects. They directed the frosh election in the latter part of November. At Christmas, they made a large Santa of plyboard to be used as a decoration on the school lawn at Christmas in years to come. Later they drew up a plan which had to do with allowing an average of one assembly a week to be presented. This plan was accepted. Interest in the Single Session Plan was fur- thered, and questionnaires concerning it were sent to parents of students. Problems such as whether S. C. should pay for tumblers’ emblems were also considered. WELFARE COMMITTEE Most of our home room drives this year were supervised by the Welfare Committee, which was headed by Evelyn Herbig, chairman; and Miss Marie Ray, sponsor. Members cooperated closely with the Junior Red Cross. Evelyn represented Missoula high at down- town Red Cross meetings, and those on her com- mittee ushered at a local Red Cross convention. Sponsoring movies on health and the welfare of others and keeping track of cheerleaders grades were other responsibilities of these committee mem- bers, who usually met Wednesdays after school. DIRECTING ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE On one of the walls in the main office hangs the school calendar of events, which is kept up by the Directing Activities Committee. Members of this group consider requests of clubs and classes for dances, sales and other activities. These events are then scheduled at the best possible times. Members worked on many projects this year. They planned and supervised the two-week safety campaign, and they were in charge of the movement for improving Victory Field. They also were respon- sible for presenting most S. C. assemblies such as a safety assembly and the General Motors Assembly. In charge of this committee were Caryl Wickes chairman; and vice-Principal Charles Hunt, sponsor. Meetings were Wednesdays after school. PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE Editing The Digest, a report of all S. C. acti- vities and decisions, read in home rooms each week, is the main responsibility of the Publications Com- mittee. At each regular S. C. meeting on Monday, cer- tain committee members took notes. Immediately afterwards the committee would meet in the room of Ralph Soroos, sponsor, to write the Digest. After this committee meeting, Patty Burnett, chairman, would take the write-up home to be typed. The following morning committee members would run off separate copies on the ditto machine and would distribute them in home room teachers’ boxes. All other S. C. publications, are prepared and distributed by this committee.
