SECRETARIAL PRACTICE A unique feature of the secretarial practice claw merits special notice in The Tiogan. Mem- bers of the class gain actual experience by helping in both the main and guidance offices. Each of the class members is assigned to work one period each day in one of the offices where they do a variety of office work under the supervision of Mrs. Colson and Mrs. Bright. The experience is beneficial to both our school and the clam members, for they become acquainted with office problems and procedure as well as aiding our regular office personnel.

GEORGE BROWN JOAN SNYDER GEORGE EISENHART George Brown and George Eisenhart did not garner sufficient credits to graduate in June of 1960, so they retumed this year. To date both are doing well with George Brown being on the honor roll and George Eisenhart doing much better in all subjects. We are happy that these students have the determination to finish high school successfully. Joan was accepted at Oneonta State Teachers, but could not enter until January. She has been with us as a post graduate student 54 for the first semester. We wish her the best of luck and clear sailing at Oneonta.
