DECORATIVE indeed are these secretaries! Seated are Reatha Hallmark, Rosemary Chavez, Gail Larson, Louise Arthur, Gladys L. Tussey. BACK: Catherine Addison, Wanda Franklin, Patricia Fraser, Lorraine Walkington. Efficiency. . .With Charm When the phone jangles, the outer office fills up with insistent visitors, and the morning mail screams for attention, who goes to work? The secretary, of course! Every successful business man attributes much of his progress to the efficient help of a Girl Friday who skillfully handles the countless details of a hectic day . . . a worker with a ready smile. Administrators require the services of well- trained secretaries. Stacks of correspondence, perplexed students andfor parents, a con- stantly ringing phone, files to check, data to locate, messages to relay . . . ! Yes, it takes someone with strength as well as charm to front for the boss. Moreover, the secretaries like our school . . . and they don't mind work! BUSY SIGNALS are commonplace in the lives of these busy ladies who keep the switchboard lights tamed and the Principal's Office business in smooth- running order. Shown on the job are Nadine Dearing and Betty Pretzer.

They Help U Solve Problem ASSISTANT Principal Gates radiates friendliness with a smile that could bring offers from a toothpaste manu- facturer. Well liked and efficient, Mr. Gates has smoothed the rough path for many a problem student here. If you never have a problem that seems almost impossible to solve, you're either very unusual . . . or just too tired to care. And since that excludes most of us, we have problems. All of us have problems . . . about our class work, or future, our scholastic progress, and our social behaviour. And when those problems loom too large, we either feel like throwing, quitting in disgust . . . or we do the wise thing and go to those who are trained to help us. You are low on money . . . and somebody swipes your algebra book, a tough jerk in Period 2 roughs you up for no reason at all, you like history but are allergic to the teacher, you think maybe it's best to quit school and go to work . . . Problems! Problems! But a q'uiet chat with one of the advisers can set us on the right track again, as hundreds have learned. School is the right place to be for teenagers. America needs well trained citizens. IF YOU EVER need a friend to listen to your woes or start machinery to rolling, call on any of these genial advisers. From left are Henry Jones, boys' adviser-elect for 1957-'58g Dean of Girls lscah Mateer, and Boys' Adviser William Davis.

Budgeteer ACCOUNTS square up neatly under direction of Business Mgr. Carl Allen. Budget wise and wary is Mr. Carl Allen, unit business manager under whose supervision thousands of dollars in student funds are handled each week. But teachers, administra- tors, and students long since have learned that it you go about this business of high finance with reasonable caution and follow the accept- able procedure, everything will go smoothly. Happy, too, are those who seek school sup- plies at our well-stocked Bookstore. Many are the bargains in books, paper, and sundry items. The Bookstore also houses a handsome trophy case and the walls are lined with attractive pictures of current student body leaders. More appealing, however, than the decorations in the Bookstore are the pleasant clerks there. CUSTOMERS are never lacking at the Bookstore, But then, neither is the service! Here students get prompt attention from smiling, efficient clerks Amy Armstrong, Violet Harding, Sunny Boatman, and K. E. Hirst.
