Being secretary of such a large high school takes most of her time, but Mrs. Bell still has time for out- side interests with her family. Some of her duties include man- aging the book store, counting all money that is collected, booklceeps ing, and helping the students with her so-always smiling, untiring attitude. Also helping the maiority of the students during the clay are the bus drivers, who have perhaps a bigger responsibility than any other person affiliated with this school. The students say thanks to them for another safe year. Serving as secretary ln the office is Mrs. Bonita Vaughn Bell, a '47 graduate and winner of the Balfour Award.
