Staff operates with consistency Ringing phones, clicking type- writer keys, and teary-eyed stu- dents, these were some of the things that secretaries had to deal with during the day. Not only did their jobs include secretarial work, they also took care of sick students who went to the office. Jobs that the secretaries had varied. Typing checkout slips, letters for deans, suspension forms, and helping teachers, and students, with attendance pro- blems, the secretaries performed their jobs diligently. These jobs weren't easy, but Lee Keddie, a secretary in the Luella Bitz Betty DePalma George Leon Connie Skeins 80O ' 4 attendance office, said that the job was very enjoyable and fulfilling. There was never a dull moment, said Mrs. Keddie. You get to know the students as you work with them. lt was very interesting. Jeanne Manley, the principal's secretary, worked on her Macin- tosh computer. The computer was used to incorporate depart- ment budgets. lt was hard to learn it, you had to use it to learn it, and l just didn't have the time, said Mrs. Manley. by Kristy Mays Photos by Darrin Coe 3 Q six st ,Q 'N .....

Along with the seven IBM PCXTS for the counselors, the career center also added a computer to aid students'career research. Each computer was connected to a central computer. One of the problems we had was that the computer system was not able to keep up with the input that needed to be stored linside its memorylf' said Coun- selor Jo Wyllie. She also said that the counse- lors had a difficult time learning how to use the computer be- cause they had only a 60 minute session. The computer package itself was funded by SB8l3, which was a lOth grade counseling program, and CAPS for CASH, which was the award received for high California test scores within the school. However, the funds had basically gone to waste in the career center because a techni- cian was not available to run and operate the computer for the students. The counselors' computers were used to help choose classes and programs for students and were also used to store informa- tion on student attendance. by John Park Photos by Matthew Silber Counselors 79
