Office Staff and Custodians Work Behind the Scenes It’s hard to put down in words what this kind of work is,” reported Miss Edith Nyquist, office staff supervisor. This is because it deals with requests from the faculty, scheduling, locker problems, supplies, transcripts. mimeograph orders and various other tasks. All supplies for staff and areas had to be kept in stock making re-orders necessary. Copy machines had to be kept in good running order and there were also numerous interruptions such as phone calls. Also, quarter, end of year, annual and North Central reports had to be completed. During spring quarter, there were the Awards assembly and Commencement exercises for which programs and diplomas were necessary. So actually there was no end to the work. said Miss Nyquist.

Student Activities Include ... The junior high Senate proved to be an effective governing body for the junior high this year. They started with the election of new officers: Freshman Rip Rapson, president; Eighth Grader Kevin Lillehei, vice-president; Freshman Bill Richardson, secretary; Seventh Grader Corrie Anderson, treasurer. Mr. Stuart Stockhaus, ninth grade economics teacher and Senate advisor, along with the officers drew up a new constitution. In our second year of operation we became more adept at governing student activities. We also discovered the holes in last year’s constitution,” reported Rip. This year the junior high Senate tried to take care of the special needs of the lower grades while working in conjunction with the faculty and the senior high Senate. Work in this area was done through such endeavors as the student-faculty committee, which included members from both Senates and was represented by some of the faculty. Junior high Senate is just one of the many facets of U High activities. This year was characterized by the changing and expanding of activity periods and starting of many new clubs such as Future Homemakers and Ham Radio clubs. Activity periods worked on a rotating basis with a one hour a week schedule. Students were able to form their own clubs by bringing them to Senate for study and chartering.
