When Problems Running an efficient office are, from L. to R.: Miss Scherr, Mrs. Caro, Mrs. Thomas (Guid. Sec.)» Mrs. Singer. Teachers, students, and parents, all rely on the efforts of the employees of the General Office. The secretaries serve the faculty and the student body through their recording the attendance records, composing the daily bulletin, fulfilling requisitions, and distributing the mail. They take personal interest in students and are respon- sible for such necessities as working papers, lockers, student transcripts, personal student records, teachers’ recommendations, and grad- uation. There is a guidance secretary on the staff who makes appointments for students with their counselors and attends to guidance business. The General Office is a modernized center. It contains various types of equipment which makes Marple-Newtown capable of an effective educational program. One of the latest additions to the office is the Thermo- fax which makes copies of important papers and documents. The General Office staff are always ready to lend a hand to teacher, student, or parent.
