Help From Library and ffice Workers Many fine students spent their study pe- riods as library or office assistants. An of- fice worker had many duties to perform. Some of these were delivering notes to teachers and students, answering the phone, making announcements, delivering daily bulletins, and writing out dismissals. These students really helped the secretar- ies, Mrs. Conger and Mrs. Robertson. Li- brary assistants also kept busy shelving and circulating books and helping with bulle- tin boards. All library assistants belonged to LAMPS-Library Assistants of Missis- sippi Private Schools. Posing as Mrs. Conger, Malinda Stanton paused for a brief moment from her work at the front desk in the office. fupper rightj The student office workers were helpful to other stu- dents and persons seeking infonnation in the office.

Girls' Service Organization riginated Early in the summer preceding the school year, the Alpha Sigma Omega Service Club was char- tered. Exclusively for girls, the organization helped and provided service for the school as well as the community. Alpha Sigma Omega performed ser- vices that promoted leadership and loyalty in all areas of school life. Made up of approximately 70 sophomores, ju- niors, and seniors, the club was divided into several sub-committees, so that more could be accom- plished. As a whole, Mary Yerger, president, aptly led the group to a successful year, accomplishing all of the challenges the first year of an organiza- tion can bring. Some of the services provided were bake sales, rummage sales, with proceeds going to charity. Others were the adoption of new students, host- esses for Back-to-school night, and featuring guest speakers throughout the year. The club also had many parties including one at Christmas and a supper before a football game. Mrs. Fitzgerald was the club's sponsor. fupper rightj The Alpha Sigma Omega, along with the Student Council, sponsored a meet-the-new-students party, given to welcome the new students and help them to feel at home CANDIS it AHGARF5 The girls in Alpha Sigma Omega helped at many school functions.
