BUSINESS OFFICE Keeping track of the accounts receivable and payable and management of all the Academy funds is a big job, and everyone naturally feels his own pet projects should have precedence. The business office has to balance needs against possibilities. Twice a month, on pay days, these people inhabit the most popular office on campus. 1 S ts! 3 ' J' I I I rr '-lit:-4 Roswell I.

DISPENSARY This facility is by far the best any school, private or public, can claim with the same number of students. Boys will be boys, no matter how hard they try to make it to adulthood without scrapes and bruises, and that's why the dispensary will always be hopping. The staff is always ready when you need a shot, a cure for athlete's foot, an aspirin or tea and sympathy. The medical team attends many sporting events that the Academy participates in so you will sometimes see them keeping a protective eye open 18 hours a day. i Chief Gerald Backus, Dispensary Supervisor H Mr. Iim Backus, Medical Assistant 'W
