Other duties of the secretaries and book- keepers include the recording of attendance, the issuing of temporary dismissals, the greeting of all guests, and the preparing of the daily homeroom bulletin to inform stu- dents of all school activities. Even with these many duties, the secretaries are always ready to help students with problems. Miss Damon and Mr. Bradford consult a permanent record folder before giving advice to a student. I5
