,V . l A ,J L1 Aides Always Quick With Assistance Taking care of mail, operating machines, greeting visitors, answering the phone, and tak- ing and delivering messages encompassed the duties of those students working in the main office of Sherman High School. Attendance office aides were kept busy listen- ing to absentee excuses, logging absences and typing each day's Do Not Admit. Keeping a running pace, counselor aides helped with organizing schedule changes, deliv- ering yellow slips to students, filing and assisting the school nurse. Working in the counselors' office also helped students learn about the differ- ent colleges and their offerings. Always prepared for an emergency, the media assistants were constantly checking equipment in and out, running machines, repairing broken projectors and tape recorders, and delivering tel- evision sets. Library aides continued to make sure all books were properly checked in and out, books shelved, and the reference files were in order. Aides also wrote out uncounted overdue notices and helped students use the library properly. For students that like to read, the library is an excellent place to work because you become familiar with the books and card references, commented senior Melissa Bailey. 21959 w 0 l i 54,--mf 1. x l 3 rm -iw ny Q WMM Y? s ..... 2. . aNlNl':+- 3 za, 1.
