As Office Ladies Type With smiling helpfulness the ladies in West's office guided troubled Vikings through another term. Mrs. Boyer, school nurse, managed a dependable re- fuge for ailing students. Minor hangnails and head- aches plus more serious cases-broken bones, faint- ings and the advanced stages of Pop-Quiz-in-English -assured Mrs. Boyer of a busy schedule. 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.

This year's regular lunches often turned out special as new and different dishes, such a tacos and shrimp, were added to menus. The ladies made school lunches spirited, too, with pennants, proclaiming Beat Northi' planted in pre- game day desserts and salads. On West's well-groomed grounds, the fifteen- man custodial staff mowed the lawn, and tended the shrubs. Their indoor jobs included cleaning the rooms and halls, arranging places for assemblies and parties, handling in-going and out-going shipments, and pro- tecting West around the clock. They also answered distress calls to fix pencil sharpeners, open jammed doors, and bring chalk.
