l l l l l i l l i The most visible ladies of Pickering are those who work in our offices and who help the various teachers . . . and individual students . . . everyday. The Ladies of Pickering are the hands who keep the College going. Each of them in her own way contributes a great deal of herself to the school and to the students and teachers who populate it. Each of them deserves a special STHFF word of thanks from each of us. The most visible ladies of Pickering are those who work in our offices and who help the various teachers operate different aspects of school life. Most of them also help out individual students in a variety of ways throughout every school day. Mrs. Doreen LaBrash, who is a school receptionist, is the lady who handles allowances, travel arrangements and bus tickets. She has worked on the hilltop for the past two years. Mrs. LaBrash also runs the bookstore, answers the phone and keeps some of the more wayward boys in line. ln her own quiet way, Mrs. LaBrash has great influence with us all. Miss Barbara White has been with the school for just over a year. As the school secretary, Miss White does office work for the teachers, acts as a receptionist, answers the telephone and is our postlady every morning at recess. Miss White's cheerful countenance and manner is a great con- tribution to school life. Mrs. Margery Wright is the l-leadmaster's Secretary. A native of England, she has been at Pickering for 14 of the last 18 years having taken time out to raise her daughter, Mrs. Wright is Mr. Clarks girl Friday, arranging ap- pointments, answering his telephone and managing his office. Mrs. Wright is helpful to all of us. Especially on those due occasions when one of us is sent to the Headmaster, her cheerful and friendly manner is reassuring. Mrs. Mary Londry has worked at Pickering for the last twenty years. She is the Schools bookkeeper and the Business Managers Secretary. While most of Mrs. Londry's duties do not bring her into direct contact with students, she always has change for the pop machine, advice about clothing purchases or help with passports and airline tickets, We appreciate Mrs. Londry's extra efforts on our behalf. Mrs. Reta Clark joined the school staff full time last fall to work in the new Alumni and Development Office with Mr. Lockyer. Mrs. Clark. however, was well-known to us long before that. As the wife of the Business Manager and Patricks mom, Mrs. Clark often joined us in the dining hall. at coffee after dinner and at school occasions. Despite the fact that Mrs. Clark is hidden in the Development Office where we don't always see her, we appreciate her smiling face and cheerful manner now more than ever. These five ladies of Pickering make our days a little brighter and we enjoy their company every day. Thank you. ladies. 29
