The responsibility of keeping the office humming smoothly falls upon Mrs. Ruth Costa and Mrs. Patty Kelly, our competent secretaries. The numerous clerical duties of our school are performed by them in all situations. To help them in their work are the faithful office girls who must run countless errands every day. Faithfully, Mrs. Charlotte Switzer, our bookkeeper, meets frus- trated student treasurers and teachers when they miscount their money. Keeping accurat records of all accounts for clubs, departments, and the administration are among her duties.

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION PRODUCES EXCELLENT RESULTS Mr. England shows Roy Monie how to operate the machines used in shop. How do you use a lathe? What are the basic steps in drawing an architectural layout? These questions students in shop and mechanical drawing classes ask themselves. Practical projects built in shop classes teach boys the use of hand tools and machines while classes in drafting learn that lines speak louder than words when drawing working plans and architectural layouts. Screech! Crash! Bang! Such sounds may occur at the beginning of the courses in Driver’s Educa- tion, but the increasing skill which the students gain from excellent training soon causes decrease in the noise. Students are taught a good attitude in the use of automobiles, knowledge of road and sign rules and how to properly maintain an auto- mobile. Take all boys in the Ag classes, mix with two capable instructors, add modern farm equipment, and season with a dash of hard work. Mix together one whole year. Dozens of blue ribbons, monetary prizes, valuable knowledge and profits from the vegetables grown on the school farm prove the suc- cess of the recipe. This recipe is one that has en- abled the boys studying agriculture to achieve not only a knowledge in farming but also to better their leadership ability and character. 20

Annie Braxson, Pauline Travis, Julia Fillingim, and Voncile Gore prepare appetizing meals each day. OUR HEALTH AND COMFORT IS THEIR CONCERN Appetizing menus are a must for hungry Aggies, and the task of preparing nourishing and palatable lunches for the many students keeps our cafeteria staff on the go. Be- ginning early each morning, the lunchroom dieticians and assistants work diligently to plan balanced and nourishing meals for the faculty and student body. Thanks to the cafe- teria style stystem, which is new this year, we enjoy a varie- ty of foods each day. Numerous duties involved in the upkeep of our school facilities fall upon the shoulders of our competent custodial staff. Keeping the grounds clear of debris and making sure the buildings are clean, heated and generally in good con- dition constitutes a major part of their work. Through their efforts, combined with co-operation from the students, the very best appearance of Tate is maintained. Heading the custodians, Mr. Boeker gives the rails a fresh coat of paint. Mr. Holland keeps the halls immaculate. Mr. Martin inspects the lawn mower to detect its trouble. 22
