Vikings seeking readmittance to school after absences due to illness also found their way to her office. In the quieter moments of her day, Mrs. Boyer telephoned absentees. All of the secretarial duties rested in the care of the office ladies. Mrs. Sharbutt acted as Mr. Selves' secretary. Mrs. Wasson, the vice-principals' secretary, recorded all students, grades, as West's registrar. The counselors also required a secretary, Mrs. Parkison. Keeping track of every pupil's whereabouts was the job of Mrs. Holmes, attendance clerk. Mrs. Parks operated the switchboard and the intercom system. Handling transactions to supply West with needed materials and selling pre-sale game tickets were the duties of the bookkeeper, Mrs. Smith. Setting up counselors' appointments occupies a major part of Mrs. Donna Parkisonis time.
