Office Ladies Combine Efficiency and friendliness became the policies of the office workers, vvho concerned themselves with the technical aspects of Shawnee Mission West business. Mrs. Parks relayed the announcements and most other communications to the teaching staff and students. Maintaining records of money transac- tions, Mrs. Pope served as bookkeeper. The registrar, Mrs. Glick, kept records of scholars' grades and notable activities, while Mrs. Daly fulfilled the duties of attendance clerk. Mrs. Parkison carefully arranged appointments for students with the five counselors, and Mrs. Chipman acted in the capacity of secretary to Mr. Selves, handling outside commu- nications. Mrs. Boyer, the nurse, applied herself to making calls to absentees, signing excuses, and coping with the accidents and incapacities which befell the student body. As did the other office ladies, Mrs. Boyer received aid from zealous helpers. These student workers offered assistance by delivering notes and attending to business at the main desk.

Masterful Technicians Anchor Viking Course Tantalizing aromas filtered throughout the hall every morning at West, depicting cafeteria personnel at work. Beginning at 6:30 daily, Pauline Jennings made plans for the day's cuisine. The indispensable staff, consisting of 29 women, prepared heated meals for more than 2300 famished Vikings. Ad- ministering a Type-A menu, the cafeteria crew cooked lunches of protein, vitamin A, and vitamin C. This nourishing diet sustained pupils for the remainder of the day. Gleaming, sparkling, and immaculate character- ized S-M West's corridors. The capable staff of 16 custodians, under direction of Richard Hopkins, kept systems functioning accurately. Regulating hot and cold temperatures, replacing burnt light bulbs, and scrubbing windows spotlessly, occupied many arduous days of the year. Organizing all sports activities plus special assemblies, the workmen gave the students pleasure from their usual routines. l'l'a fr .3 salr if at J f I 1 if A A fig 6 ff .,. . i 1 t i if I yvmmz, 1' if if 1 A f Y !
