On March Sth the State Contest was held at Bradley High School in Bradley. Some of the club members took part in this contest. The club, which has been in existence for two years, is sponsored this year by Mr. Sidney johnson, Speech and English teacher. The oiiicers are Mary-Ellen Thimblin, presi- dentg Judi Morell, vice-president, and Barbara Teissler, Secre- tary-Treasurer. This year, 22 girls served as office aides. This is not a course in business training because no credit is given, but it could well be one, During this hour, which would ordinar- ily be a study hall for the girls, they helped Mrs. Laura Baillie and Mrs. Joel Hoel with all sorts of odd jobs that needed to be done, such as sharpening pencils and sorting mail. Other duties were answering the switchboard and delivering call and absence slips to the various rooms. For the girls it was good experience and a lot of fun and also their way of rendering a service to Rich High. - Rillb Curllelrll
