F-8 SCHOOL BANKING I wonder how many of us realize the story behind the small white slip that goes into the banking box on Tuesday mornings? The amount of money each one of us banks has to be recorded. nor only on the deposit slips, but in the ledger on journal sheets and in the school bank books. An average of 190 pupils deposit each week and over Sl ,800 has been deposited this year by thrifty students of our school. All the balances have to be added up and checked for mistakes. The money has to be counted and sealed in envelopes. Much credit is due Mrs. Morrison and her staff of bank tellers: Thomas Howarth. Churchill Cressey, Beverly Kitchen, Daniel Koe- lenbeek, George Haskell, Earle Trickey, Jean Marsh, Marjorie McCubrey, Gloria Hatcher, Myrtle Morrill, Mary Herrman. and Barbara Dennison.
