In Addition to her duties as Mr. Overly’s personal secretary, Mrs. Wellman handles the detailed money matters con- cerning payroll information for non-certified personnel and school organizational finances. She also keeps track of teacher absences and substitute teachers reports. Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Morehead ' s secretary, checks business ac- counts of the Internal Accounting Record of the school. Marilyn Thayer, a co-op student, operates the Book and Supply Store providing a convenient ser- vice for students and teachers. With a cheery smile, Marilyn Thayer stands ready to serve Supply Store customers. Mrs. Velma Shepherd us es her favorite handy-dandy gadget to roll coins received in lunchtime potato chip sales. 19

Custodians keep school in tip top shape Working in two shifts, the custodial staff labors diligently to keep the school grounds and building looking beautiful. Not only do they perform daily jobs of maintenance but also handle the minor crisises of repair jobs which arise. Mr. Burton Paul, chief custodian, and his staff are always willing to help special groups in preparing and setting up for vari- ous activities such as dances, parties, athletic events and programs. These men and women deserve a special thanks for the somewhat end- less work they do. Working long hours at night and during vacations, they provide us with clean and heal- thy surroundings.
