FAMILIAR FACES AT RICHMOND HIGH THE OFFICE STAFF MRS. CATHERINE VIONI Secretary to the deans and athletic director. MRS. HELEN DAVENPORT Registrar MRS. RUBY DENNING Secretary to the Principal When anyone enters the office at Richmond Senior High, he is usually not greeted by Mr. Reed, Mr. McConnell, or Mr. Coons, but rather by one of the office staff. These faces are familiar ones at R.H.S. If there is a conflict in the schedule of a student, if someone needs some thumb tacks or scotch tape, or if information is needed, one of these well-known women will help. In spite of their busy schedules, our office staff always finds time to help the troubled student. The faces of these office members, our Principal, vice-principal, and deans, lend not an uneasy air to the office as many may feel, but rather an atmosphere of aid and assistance in time of need. 24
