NURSE AND CAFETERIA DI RECTRESS If you have ever become ill or hurt your- self, you have met Miss Southwick, the school nurse. She is always on hand to end your pains and sympathize with you. Each year Miss Southwick gives eye tests and stresses the importance of preventing dis- ease. Through her efforts the school has made use of the tubercular skin tests. The person responsible for the nutritious meals served in the school cafeteria is Miss Dev- lin, head of the cafeteria staff. The meals, besides being well planned, are low priced because of the help of the federal and state funds. Miss Aurelius Miss Robb Clerk Attendance Clerk Miss Devlin Cafeteria Directress THE STUDENT OFFICE IS ALWAYS BUSY lilllllilll STUDENT OFFICE Maybe they can tell you in room 2 is one of the most familiar phrases around SHS. It is in this office that all student needs and problems are taken care of by those two busy ladies, Miss Aurelius and Miss Robb. Miss Robb has charge of all attendance. It is she who checks all ex- cuses and sends out cut slips to those people who thought they wouldn't be missed. Miss Aurelius helps plan the schedule of classes for each semester and handles the candy counter. Between them they do the coun- ter work consisting of lost and found, tele- phoning, and tickets. When the nurse is not at school, they even bind up cuts and administer aspirin for headaches. The school post office system works through this office. The slips announcing meetings and request- ing services are delivered by office assistants each period. NURSE ARRIVES FOR DUTY Dorothy Southwick, R.N. Nurse Twenty-two

TUDE T PROGRAMS DEANS The welfare of the student body of Springfield High School hinges greatly on the work of our three deans: Miss Bundy, Dean of Girls, and Mr. Gwin and Mr. Petefish, associate Deans of Boys. These three important persons plan most of the programs of some six- teen hundred students. The two boys' study centers are directly supervised by Mr. Gwin and Mr. Petefish. Besides the main problem of making out pro- grams to please each student, the deans secure information concerning the requirements for the different col- leges and give all examinations which are required by certain colleges for en- trance. The deans also assist students with their individual problems and con- NO'S WATCH FUL EYE Twenty-one MISS DOROTHY BUNDY - DEAN OF GIRLS tact parents if a conference is neces- sary. Miss Bundy does not act as a study hall supervisor, but has numerous other duties. She is administrative assistant and co-ordinator of student activities. Under these large titles come such work as arranging for college days, P.T.A. programs, and being advisor for the Student Council as well as helping with class activities. The deans of boys also have some outside work in activities, with Mr. Petefish taking charge of the Rifle Club and Mr. Gwin piloting the Del- phics. Without these three very important individuals, the running of SHS would be difficult. Miss Hager Miss Lomelino TCgiar1aCIStaE Eizvgrl- Northwestern University, . .5 oum ia - .

Elllllii MAIN OFFICE Upstairs in the pleasant main office are Miss Atkins and Miss Davis, SHS's two sec- retaries. It is Miss Atkin's duty to super- vise book rentals, grade transcripts to col- leges, records of credits, summer school and diplomas. ln other words, Miss Atkins is the custodian to all the records that are kept by our school. Her partner, Miss Davis, handles all cor- respondence for the school besides making faculty appointments, renting the auditorium, and welcoming visitors. The main office also houses the teachers' mail boxes and bulletin board and the clock which con- trols the bells. So in spite of the fact that we as stu- dents donit come in direct contact with the main office very often, it is easy to see that a great amount of very important business is transacted there. OUR GENIAL LIBRARIAN OUR EFFICIENT MAIN OFFICE FORCE Marguerite L. Zimmermann Librarian Twenty- three LIBRARIAN The capable and friendly person who greets you as you enter the school library is none other than Miss Zimmermann. Her job is to try to make the school conscious of its library, show the students how to use it, and have the material most wanted at hand. At present Miss Zimmermann is en- larging the biographical, travel and fiction book section. Also this year she has added a vocational file to the many other helpful features of the library. Although the job of librarian is a busy one, Miss Zimmermann took time out to present the entertaining program that was given at Christmas time. Under such a charming individual it is only natural that our library is rated among the very best of high school libraries, Miss Atkins Miss Davis Secretary Corresponding Secretary
