Mrs. Noble, will you please send Norma Tychewicz to the main office now? This is a familiar message sent over the public address system several times throughout the day, a system which Thornton is fortunate in hav- ing. The announcements heard each morning during homeroom also originate in the main office. Among the many jobs the office staff handles are the distribution of mail, the telephone calls that come in over three trunk lines, mimeographing, and school cor- respondence. They also keep a file with the complete record of each student who attends Thornton. Permanent in these files are their citizenship, scholarship, atten- dance, and activity records. The office is a very busy place with students claiming lost articles, getting new locker keys, and teachers send- ing in various notices and picking up their mail. Miss Constance Lovejoy is secretary to Dr. William E. McVey, and Miss Jane Ridder is registrar. Enid Boothe, Edith Kordewich, Betty Meeboer, and Edith Mitchell complete the office staff. Without the efficiency and capability of this most unapplauded force, the school would be unable to run smoothly; in fact it would not run. aaau —— ma -q.„o.i,u,, U .i MIU uuu.. || |||t|M|a |
