THE OFFICE GIRLS The office girls are selected from the Senior and Junior Commercial classes. Permission must be obtained from home, as the understanding is that one class period is missed each day. Assignments must be made up, as a “U” on a report card will result in a disqualification. These pupils must also maintain a satisfactory grade in all their subjects. Their duties are many and varied. They get and distribute the mail, answer the telephone, meet guests, answer correspondence, and perform the duties of general office routine. “Ask the Office Girl” is an expression in common use at Sumner. These girls benefit greatly by their experiences and the training received.
