Staff likes being with students 3 What don 't you like about your job and what do you do about all those little occupational hazards that come with the job? The O'Gorman Staff responded to these questions and many interesting answers resulted. Ann Louise Perk, a cook in the cafeteria, commented, I don 't like it when we work real hard on something and then the kids say fvuck'. Dorothy Doohen of the attendance office said, I don 't like having to find out if someone is truant. Micky Lipetzky says she finds it hard trying to answer three lines on the telephone at once. Zelda il 'Q W FH il 14 ,wi ,,, LaFollette in the business ofhce commented that the lack of communication between the staff and faculty members can be frus- trating. But what about the good side of the job? Can there be a few rewarding moments amongst all the chaos of being on the staff? Karen Strasser, a guidance counselor, says that the look in the kids' eyes after they have made an important decision reminds her that she must be doing something right. All in all, most everyone said that the best part of their jobs are the students who seem to brighten the long days.
