Essential “Behind The Scenes” People Keep Our School Running Smoothly Inside every great school there are people at typewrit- ers. In between typing tests and answering phones, they often have the opportunity to supply first aid or have a friendly chat. Keeping current supplies and revising fil- ing systems took a lot of time and effort. Often students do not realize the amount of work secretaries and aides do. A single department will type over 600 items to be xeroxed in a year! Each department keeps books for the library, and secretaries keep records of those checked out. Always ready to draw a Spyrogyra, collect informa- tion for Shakespeare trips, supply teachers with those ‘always drying out’ overhead pens, secretaries easily earn the praise they receive. Security guard “Big John” took his job seriously. He enforced use of parking permits, patrolled the smoke line daily, and took charge of J.R.O.T.C. officers at athletic events. This was his seventh year of fulltime work, al- though he was here in 1961, as a student. Keeping things in order at student activities, Mr. DcBolt considered his job a positive influence at our school. A.V. Aide Darlene Netz and Library Aide Darlene Long check over the choices of audio visual materials that they can order. Instructional Aide Patricia Unger contemplates her next move. Margie Medford, veteran secretary par excellence, is first assistant to the principf. 22 Secretaries

Droschcr, Jerry Robinson. Jim Ramscycr, Lorraine Sturtz, Ron Walker, Sandra Counselors Give Incentive Counselors, valuable resources, are particularly helpful in keeping records of unverified absences and do everything possible to help students from failing classes because of non-attendance or other problems. Thanks to counselor assistance in arena scheduling, students encountered no unsolvablc problems in pro- curing a schedule suited to their own needs. During the senior year, counselors provide invaluable assis- tance in disseminating scholarship information. Disci- plining is another area of counselor concern. It deals with cutting down delinquencies and providing a more positive atmosphere in our school. Advice and sound judgement were administered in good measure by counselors. Many of them were also involved in other school activities. Each was in charge of students falling under letters of the alphabet ac- cording to the first letter of the student’s last name: Mr. Jim Robinson (A-C); Mrs. Kathy Crenshaw (D- F), Dean of Student Services, student government advisor; Mr. Jerry Droscher (G-K), assistant football coach, coach for varsity baseball; Mrs. Sandra Walk- er (L-P); Mrs. Lorraine Ramseyer (Q-U) and Mr. Ron Sturtz (V-Z), Dean of Instructional Services, American Field Services advisor. Tim Ford, with the help of Mrs. Walker, changes his schedule. “I’ll toast to that!” says Mr. Ron Sturtz. Counselors 21
