Office Aides Seniors Take Over Daily Office Tasks Just look at us now was an expres- sion often seen on the faces of the office personel when day after day they were swamped with paper work. Then one day someone came up with the idea of office aides. To be an office aide this year you had to be a senior who had already taken required courses. Another change from last year was that this year's office aide credit did not count toward graduation. I figured the office would need extra help and I didn't have another class 1 needed to take, said senior Joanna Ba- landran. Office aides were constantly on the run. They had various jobs, such as pick- ing up blue sheets or getting students for the office. They also ran errands for the secretaries. But occasionally the office rush would slow down and there would be time for the aides to study. So why do students want to be aides? I knew I'd get to know the principal and assistant principals better than regular students who just come in the office be- cause they're in trouble, said senior Mike Willemsen. Since this is my first year at PHS, I felt working in the office would give me a chance to get to know people, replied senior Shannon Harris. The office aides should be commended for a job well done. Not only did they get to know the office personnel and stu- dents, but they also gained experience and learned just how important working in the office was.
