THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE Th Attendance Office has a very well cared for attendance record of every student in high schiol. Miss Minnie Foster, attendance clerk, and Miss Jeanette Tenney, as- sistant, are able to tell you whege any and every student is at any time of day. This office also has an index record of every student's schedule of school Work. If a student leaves class or school during the day, he must obtain permission from the attendance office, and he is required to submit a .pass from this office before reenteringclasses on the next day. THE ACTIVITY OFFICE Mr. Francis B. Dunn, Director of Activities, and Mr. C. C. Liebler, Director of Guidance, have two of the greatest responsibilities in Port Arthur High School. Our school has one of the largest programs in extra-curricula of any high school in the United Statesg and the success of this program is due to the efforts of our director and his assistant, Miss Lela Stulting. Mr. Liebler, Director of Guidance, keeps in the activity office a complete record of courses for Broadening and Finding for Junior High School students and informa- tion for directing Senior High School students to their chosen colleges. Miss Ruth Swan is secretary' for the members of the activity department. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE PRINCIPAL Miss Curtis Cochran, the secretary to our principal, is one of the most efficient office Workers We have ever had in our school. She does general secretarial duties for Mr. Collins, and assists in routine office work. Students and teachers are given as- sistance about the daily Work of school through Miss Cochran's advice and guidance.

O. which cooperates with that organization in solving the problems of the school. - The purpose of the Junior Civic League is to unify the Junior High School, to interest the pupils in school problems, and to give them an op- portunity to have a vital part in the program of the school. The Junior High School song and flag were selected by this organiza- tion. Every year a Christmas program is held for the Janitors and baskets presented them at that time under the supervision of the Junior Civic League. The League has worked with the S. B. O. on the traffic, campus, and locker situations as well as other worthwhile activities. 4 ..N Tl
