Supt. Owens encourages Sr. Tom Helms on his way. Do you really know who does most of the work in the high school? Well, the corps of girls in the office does a large part of it. Anna Nail is Mr. Owens’ secretary. She also helps in the main office. June Metzler is new to some of us, since she accepted her position as secretary to Mr. Thornton in February. This position was formerly held by Margie McDaniel. The office assistants are girls from various classes who wish to work in the office during their study halls. These girls answer many of the students’ questions; besides this they pass absence lists, and bring those almost fatal notices stating that a certain person’s presence is requested immediately in Mr. Thornton’s office. OFFICE ASSISTANTS: Left to Right: Betty Sticklen, Peggy Sell, Carolyn Conroy, Anna F. Miller, Doris Jones, Joyce Gast, Phyllis Mapes, Greta Rowland, Evelyn White.

His camera is his traveling companion; he can usually be found creating some clever snapshot, or at work in his developing room. fljdmlnhJjuriwn MR.
