SECRETARIAL FORCE High School Office Staff Miss Joan Kish, Mrs. Doroty Gaski, Mrs. Elaine Denta. Mrs. Gladys McCroskey, school nurse, tended to the cuts and bruises, administered tuberculosis patch tests, gave hearing tests, and kept track of the ills and ails of the en- tire Tolleston student body and its neighboring grade schools, W ashington, Ivanhoe, and the Ivanhoe Project. To Mrs. Ida Magioudis, school welfare worker, fell the huge task of keeping tab on the attendance records of the students, of having conferences with students and parents, and issuing work permits to those students finding remun- erative- employment. The high school office staff was composed of Mrs. Doro- thy Gaski and Miss Joan Kish, who replaced Mrs. Elaine Denta in February. They had the job of making out the pro- grams for the students and keeping records of the school’s finances. In the grade school office Mrs. Bette Korwek and Miss Dolores Slys took charge of the enrollment, requisitions, and the distribution of lockers.

Social Studies Miss Anna Marsh Mr. Charles V ise Mr. Donald Little As fitting directors of such a great play, the teachers have given unstintingly of their knowledge and time. They have taught during regular class time and in spare time if nec- essary. They encouraged their stu- dents to want the most of life and tried to prepare them for their de- sires. Almost every teacher in the high school was sponsor or chaperone for school organizations. It was difficult to say whether teacher or student w'as more seriously inter- ested in these extra-curricular ac- tivities. Many of our teachers were excel- lent examples of the meaning of school spirit. They not only preach- ed its meaning but lived it by atten- ding pep sessions and athletic events. Although teachers’ meetings at Tolleston School were not burden- ous, problems were many. The maj- ority of problems centered not a- round what they could do for them- selves but what more they could do for the students to make more successful lives for them, to make stars” of them.
