May I have a permit to class, please? 'gCan you change a dollar? Somehody took my lock! These were a few of the demands made upon Mrs. Mary Fristed, Phyllis Walswcnrth, and Catherine Davidson, the new supervisors of the senior high office force. When she was not husy at her typewriter, Phyllis spent her time receiving donations for Memorial Field and handling other school fmancesg while Catherine, as clerk, kept accurate attendance records and held a restrain' ing hand on wouldfhe truants. With an increase in students and oflice work, it was necessary to increase the staff by one. Mrs. Fristed took charge of the permanent records and transcripts. The corps of student office girls was efficient in answering telephones, sorting mail, running errands, and hcing of general service to the office and students alike. In addition to the experience they received, these girls earned Torch credits. Rounding out a wellforganized oflice force was Flo Peters, student hody business manager. Flo, assisted hy Allene Malony, headed the annual contract drive and the sale of tickets for all games and plays. Not to he forgotten are the girls of the junior high office force, who spent many happy hours under the direction of their hoss, Mr. Rude, helping with the prohlems of the junior high and acquainting new students with the ways of Highline. In the congenial atmosphere of the little office, these girls kept attendance records, aided visitors, and did much the same work as the senior high office force. The central oflice served as the focal point of all school activity, and the headquarters for Memorial Field. Across the counter suhscriptions and donaf tions amounting to more than ten thousand dollars were gladly received for Highline's living memorial. Amid the confusion of ofiice activity there was always someone to help the hcwildered newcomer, or to give the omnipresent laggard a permit to class.
