Mya in administration e cZency,17w1ffg,.f year FOLLOWING an enfirely new arrangemenf, fhe office increased ifs efficiency one hundred per cenf for The year l936, by esfablishing an Affendance Office. lf is under fhe supervision of Miss Pafricia Chris- fiensen and is separafe from fhe main office. l-lere all absences, fardi- ness, and cuf slips are checked during each period of fhe day. Miss Anna Sfeendahl confinued her work wifh fhe Early Dismissals and Lafe Arrivals. Thus awkward groups in fhe main office were avoided. Miss Dorofhy Kinkaid, fhe only addifion fo fhe main office force, was insfrumenfal in keeping up fhe permanenf grade records o ie ch sfu- cienf, fhe personal records file, bullefins, and mail. She had sol charge of fhe freshmen, sophomores, iuniors, and posf graduafes, and fha check- ing of fhe boys' afhlefic insurance and eligibilify. , Keeper of fhe Keys is a fifle which mighf well be applied fo Mr. James Mclinighf, building cusfodian, for. among fhe mosf imporfanf of his dufies is fhe making of duplicafe locker keys. Under his insfrucfions, school and ifs grounds are kepf in order, mosf of fhis work being done on week-ends and during Chrisfmas and Easfer vacafions. Replacing lighf globes, broken window panes, mowing fhe lawn, and general building supervision leave liffle leisure for Mr. McKnighf. We cannof fail fo menfion here fhe endless work of fhe men and women who cooperafe wifh fhe cusfodian: fo is due much of our school's beaufy.

Anofher popular phase of fhe mainfenance deparf- menf is fhe Lunchroom Force. Mrs. Neffie Moore com- plefed her eighfh year as manager wifh unparalelled success. Wifh fhe aid of sfudenf sponsors and her work- ers-Mrs. Elizabefh Curnew, Mrs. Elizabefh Driscoll, Mrs. Mariery Williams, and Mrs. Marie l-leusfis-Mrs. Moore greafly increased fhe cafeferia's affendance. This feaf was accomplished by good food, cafchy menus, and a D' variefy of enferfainmenf. Miss Rose Glass and Mr. Sheridan Berfhiaume, filling fhe posifions of Girls' Advisor and Boys' Advisor, re- specfively, have become fhe keynofe of undersfanding ' befween fhe sfudenfs and fhe faculfy. Giving any needed advice wifh cheerful generosify, fhey are now i indispensable fo Roosevelfs harmonious affifudes. To fheir advisors, fhe sfudenfs owe a debf of loyalfy and grafifude. They wish fo fake fhis means of express- ing fheir appreciafion of all of fhese groups which fo- gefher have increased Roosevelf's efficiency, orderliness, and beaufy. These men and women have unselfishly confribufed fheir fime and efforf and have been more fhan pafienf wifh fhe difficulfies which necessarily arise in a school of over fwenfy-four hundred. ln connecfion wifh fhe Girls' and Boys' Clubs, employmenf services are mainfained, by which means sfudenfs in need of work fo earn school expenses are placed in homes or ofher posifions.
