Each did his part . . . Seated: Miss Dolore» Reed, Mrs. Margaret Boyd, Mrs. Thelma Matin. Standing: Mrs. Elinor Brockway, Mr . Dorothy Skillen. Students were not the only ones who worked hard at their desks all day. Our efficient secretarial staff came earlier and stayed later than most students. The secretaries took dictation, answered telephones, made appointments, organized printed matter for teachers, and did many other essential jobs. Mrs. Margaret Boyd, who is in charge of the main office, was well known to many students. Her friendly, sincere manner made her a favorite with the Hi-Y girls who assisted her in the office. Miss Reed, secretary to Mr. Holmes, aided seniors by sending out transcripts for college admission—an almost unending job. Mrs. Brockway and Mrs. Skillen greeted all who entered Dr. Nancarrows office. Mrs. Thelma Malin worked in the attendance office. Whether working at a mimeographing machine, typing a letter, filing a report card, sorting mail, or taking a telephone message, the secretaries were an essential part of the smooth functioning of the school. Miss Rccd, Mr. Holmes’s secretary, worked long hours preparing senior records for the many colleges. Mrs. Boyd, in charge of the main office, worked efficiently with a smile and a cheery hello” for all.

tudent teachers helped us, too . . . Mr. Seidel instructs a class in Business Arithmetic. Mr. Wright gives personal help to students of a Sophomore English class. Upper Darby school administrative leaders cooperated again this year with the Schools of Education of four local colleges. Drcxel Institute, Temple University. Villa- nova University, and the University of Pennsylvania sent student teachers to gain experience in our classes. These young men and women observed and taught, often taking over classes completely in the absence of the regular instructor. In addition to classroom duties, the cadet teachers filled other important positions. They manned study halls and worked in the attendance office, library and infirmary. While helping with our instruction they too were learning. It is hoped that in years to come they will look back on their semester spent here with only pleasant memories. Certainly everyone of us wishes them success in the future. First Row: R. Herman, B. Sachsc. E. Watts, L. Rosenbaum, J. ;irst Row: E. Choate, N. Kurz, S. Gurst. Second Row: P. Carlucci, McNicholas.

behind the scenes . . . MR. CHARLES BUTTERWORTH MR. CHARLES CORNELL MR. DAVID LEWIS The cafeteria and maintenance staffs played an important part in our school life. The maintenance crew kept our school clean and in good repair. Mr. Charles W. Butterworth, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and Mr. David Lewis, head custodian, supervised their staff which went into full operation after most of us had gone home. The job of the main tenance crew is not limited to the school building itself but includes keeping our campus neat and lovely. The cafeteria staff, under the direction of Mrs. Catherine B. Nichols, not only prepared our meals daily but also provided excellent menus for special dinners and banquets. When lunch time came each day the lines may have been long, but the wait was well worthwhile. The combined efforts of these two efficient staffs helped fulfill the high standards for which U.D. is known and which we all appreciated. First Row: Mrs. Adelaide Simpson, Mrs. Jeanette Weis, Mrs. Grace Evans, Mrs. Nancy Atz, Mrs. Manta Lake. Second Row: Mrs. Florence Lloyd, Mrs. Edna Murphy, Mrs. Madeline Bateman.
