School Clerk Mrs Mart Alice Hampton Registrar Stenos In Embryo ★ Guardian angels of Norman High School’s efficiency force are Mrs. Mary Jo Spradlin and Mrs. Mary Alice Hampton. Under their able direction fifteen junior and senior girls learn office routine and file and keep rec- ords. These girls type, run errands, which could include an occasional coke, answer the telephone, and check the absences and tardies for which work they receive credit. Mrs. Hampton has installed the most original filing system in Oklahoma, and all school inspectors say the records are the best kept and the office is run more efficiently than in any other high school in the state.

Keep the Boys on the Farm Vocational agriculture strengthens national defense by producing better farmers and better citizens. Training through individual and group projects rather than by class study is stressed by E. F. Foreman, director. The total value of these projects owned by the boys themselves is $15,- 577.46. During its eight years of existence the chapter has produced five Master Farmers and has won both state and national honors. This year the school and community are especially proud of the F. F. A. group, as it has reached the top of the ladder by being selected as the gold star chapter of the nation. .
