Secretaries have busy days No doubt each and every student has been helped in some way by the busy secretaries, Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Armstrong, and Mrs. Jenkins. The average school day provides as much work and excitement for them as for any student. As one passes the office, the secretaries may be seen attending to the many duties awaiting their attention. Counseling helps students in many ways Perhaps the person who has heard more of the students’ problems than any other faculty member is Richmond High’s coun- selor, Mrs. Marion Ferguson. It is to this fine lady who always possesses a warm smile and a cheery disposition that we take our problems, both large and small. Mrs. Ferguson may always be counted on to give guidance to any student desiring help. To many she has been a close friend from freshman days to graduation. Mrs. Ferguson received her A.B. from Albion College and studied at Northwestern University. The library offer Mrs. Marion Snitchler, our librarian, is very helpful to students requesting aid in doing research work. It is with our interests in mind and through her fine efforts that we have the complete library we do. Mrs. Snitchler is always present with a bit of advice and information of great benefit to the students. 10

Our Latin instructor, Mrs. Lola Weeks (right) received her A.B. from Eastern Michigan Uni- versity. Although she is new to the present students she was a former Richmond High School prin- cipal. As she has so often commented, Mrs. Weeks greatly enjoys teaching because she now has the children of her former students. Miss Virginia Reed (left) is our Algebra I instructor.
