Our competent staff, under the guiding hand of Mitt Edith Nyquist, a U. High veteran of fifteen year , hat many responsibilities among which keeping personnel records, balancing budgets, keeping track of attendance records, and typing chores, are some of the most important. Assisted by student pages, our office girls are verv familiar face to our students and they iron out these knotty problems concerning tardy slips, passes, and excuses. Assisting Miss Nyquist arc Miss Arlene Backlund senior secretary, who has been at U. High for four years. Miss Mary DesMarais, secretary, who has also been at U. High for four years. Miss Carla Stueve, clerk-stenographer, with two years of service and Miss Joan Chattcrton. clerk and university student, who is employed on a part-time basis. A shining, well-kept school makes an interesting place in which to work and study. Our hard working custodians, supervised by Mr. Lea Stenseth. put the building back into apple pie order after the ravages of a school day. Cleaning up after open houses. basket ball games, and P.T.A. meetings arc some of the chores which the custodians handle. During the winter and spring holidays, as well as the summer vacation period, our custodians are busy working, waxing, and refinishing the floors and cleaning the many windows in our modern school.

Oluillen ing Courses U. High serves as a secondary laboratory school for the College of Education. Because of this, our school has some unusual features and advantages that arc beneficial to the students and faculty alike. The U. High curriculum is under constant inspection. Revision and additions to courses offered and materials available is a steady process. Our teachers either hold or arc working toward advanced degrees. This added to the fact that there arc no study halls at U. High and every student carries six classes a day, makes us able to take full advantage of our unusual facilities. In order to bring prospective teachers closer to classroom situations we have a closed circuit television station with student operating crews. The programs are sent to other buildings on campus where education students can watch televised classes. 6 (onn « Clark.
