Mrs. Bar- bara Crockett, bookkeeper, handled all moneys for P.C.H.S. She also sent bills and payments, handled the financial aspects of cap and gown and letter jacket orders, and sold tickets at the basketball games. Switchboard opera- tor Mrs. Bonnie Ward handled all incoming and outgoing telephone calls. She also served as an information source for the faculty. Mrs. Shirley Umberger, secretary, dealt with tardy and or absent students. She typed the daily absentee sheet and was responsi- ble for signing in or out students who attended school for less than a full day. Miss Helen Cecil, vocational school secretary, operated her office with her usual efficiency. She not only chan- neled communications in the voca- tional building but also managed the bills and payments for services and equipment for the trade and industrial classes. English department secretary Mrs. Phyllis Cram moved to the administra- tion after Mrs. Patty Williams resigned in November. Mrs. Cram typed the offi- cial correspondence the administra- tors and numerous materials to be duplicated and dispensed to the stu- dents and or the faculty. In addition to innumerable clerical duties, Mrs. Cram efficiently cared for students who came to the clinic with minor injuries or ill- nesses. Mr. Milton Aust responded to innu- merable “beep-beep-beep” signals from the office each day and attempted to keep the building at an even sixty-eight degrees. Miss Jeannie White held forth in a room overflowing with study hall students while Mr. Danny Wolfe kept in-school suspension. 15

S.C.A. Sponsors Christmas Basket Drive The Student Cooperative Association of Pulaski County High School repre- sented the entire student body and served as the intercessor between stu- dents and faculty. Representatives from each homeroom, the presidents of clubs and classes, and the officers that were selected by the student body made up the membership of the S.C.A. The association sponsored various activities throughout the year. Dances were a major activity of the S.C.A. The Homecoming Dance on October 9, 1976, and the Winter Formal on February 12, 1977, drew many students. Both of these dances featured well-known bands. Another activity earlier in the year was the Beauty Pageant held on September 18, 1976. The pageant, with 137 contest- ants, was the most successful event that tne S.C.A. sponsored this year. Christ- mas food baskets for the Christmas food drive were financed through stu- dent contributions collected by the S.C.A. This project proved to be one of the most rewarding activities. Ruthie Franklin, Rhonda Ramsey and Goober Johnson were assigned to Mr. John Newberry, the S.C.A. sponsor, first period for an S.C.A. class.” They performed many clerical duties fulfill- ing S.C.A. directives.
