MISS ISABELLE BAILEY Miss lsabelle Bailey has catered to the appetites of North students and faculty members from the very first day that stu- dents had to be fed in North High twenty- seven years ago. Mrs. Bailey is personally interested in the likes and dislikes of her patrons, and often she hears the kind of complaints the students undoubtedly make at home for balanced lunches are not al- ways the choice of the teen-ager. Mrs. Bailey's staff of expert cooks and pastry makers has grown from six to the present staff of sixteen. MISS HARRIET COLLINS Miss Harriet Collins is an lowan. She graduated from the lcla Grove High School and then entered business school in Omaha. Here she takes Mr, Meents' dictation and records all grades on, perma- nent records. Her time this spring has been filled with wedding plans for late this summer. ln her free time Miss Col- lins bowls- but not too well, she says. Dancing is second on her list of favor-ite pastimes. Quiet efficiency accompanied by a friendly smile make the office a pleasant place for those who work with Miss Collins. EARL GARNER Earl Garner knows every nook and cran- ny in the building. There is probably no one who knows the building as well as he. Among the construction crew when the building was going up was Mr. Garner. When the custodial staff was hired, he be- came the building engineer, No matter what goes wrong in the building, Mr. Gar- ner sees that it is fixed. No matter how cold the weather, Mr. Garner keeps it warm inside. No matter what improvements are made in the building or grounds, Mr. Garner has to maintain them. MRS. GLADYS GIES Mrs. Gladys Gies has been a member of the clerical staff at North for twenty- seven years. Her telephone voice is fa- miliar to most parents as she calls to in- quire about students who are absent each day. Her interest in the students does not end with their graduation, as she has ac- quired unlimited information about Vi- king alumni. Mimeographing and handling office record pictures keep Mrs. Gies busy when attendance problems are slack. Handiwork of any kind, but knitting par- ticularly, fills her leisure time. MISS ROSE OSTRONICL Miss Rose Ostronic's official title may be secretary to the principal, but any one can tell you that her knowledge and ex- perience are vital to the successful ad- ministration of the school. Almost every angle of business conducted at North must at some time pass through her hands. Miss Ostronic came to North when the building was opened, and she can point out many changes which have occurred in the past twenty-seven years. She can find anything or solve any problem for student, teacher, or administrator. MISS GLORIA SLATE Miss Gloria Slate has only been working in the office for two and a half years, but in that time she has made many friends among the students and faculty. A graduate of Omaha Tech, Miss Slate has nevertheless transferred her loyalties to North High and is an enthusiastic spec- tator at every Viking activity. lf gradu- ates need transcripts of credits, Miss Slate prepares them. For recreation she likes to drive around in her new carfher sec- ond new one in two years because of minor mishaps. 22 an MRS. ELMA SIMPSON Mrs. Elma Simpson received her degree in library science from Columbia University after first attending Grand Island College and the University of Nebraska. Mrs. Simp- son has been the head librarian at North for seven years. Her main objective has been to encourage the students to use the library's facilities and become acquainted with the new and good books in it. De- voted to good music and drama, Mrs. Simpson also loves the out-of-doors and looks forward each year to a summer in the Simpson mountain retreat in Colorado. MRS. AGNES NILSSON Mrs. Agnes Nilsson never tires of books. For the past nine years she has worked in the North High libraries. For recreation she likes nothing better than to curl up with a good book. And, for a hobby Mrs. Nilsson collects books. When her small grandchildren are in her core she reads to them. If freshmen and sophomores in O30 are in doubt as to what to read, Mrs, Nilsson knows iust the book for them. A graduate of the University of Nebraska, Mrs. Nilsson taught English before turning to librarian work. MRS. FLORENCE HALLGREN I Mrs. Florence Hallgren claims that her fbiggest weakness is collecting travel literature and then having to travel to see for herself the scenes in the folders. Mrs. Hallgren is a native of Kansas where she was graduated from the Burlington High School. She attended business col- lege in Omaha. For the past five years she has been a clerk in the library- checking out books, arranging shelves, makina bulletin board displays. Next to travelling, she likes to try the recipes in new cook books.

Her duties are varied-checking out books, making posters, and learnina Ull The VODES necessary for the successful use and operation of a library. Quiet signs in the library take their cue from Miss Hanthorne. LIBRARY STAFF Pictured Above CLERICAL AND CUSTODIAL STAFF Pictured at Left
