Pdat'd Becneta uf, Mrs. Janet Thelander. who served as Mr. Howd’s secretary, was a familiar and pleasant figure to be seen around the cockpit this year. Her friendliness, her willingness to help students, and her efficiency made her a favorite among the passengers on board. Mrs. T” is originally from Columbia. Missouri: however, she attended the Normal Community High School in Normal, Illinois, and received her bachelor’s degree from Illinois Wesleyan University. Here she majored in art and speech. After graduating from university. Mrs. T was employed in an advertising agency in Chicago for one year. While living in Chicago, she also attended the Chicago Art Institute. Our pilot keeps his secretary busy with various assignments. These include taking dictation, typing letters, athletic eligibility lists, announcements, and stencils, making out transcripts, writing receipts, filing, and doing special stenographic work for projects such as music contests, plays, exams, and Parent-Teachers Associa- tion correspondence T he Student Office Helpers, under the direction of Miss Fisher and Mrs. Thelander. help make the office run more smoothly and efficiently. Their main job is to take care of the attendance records: however, they also run errands, answer the telephone, act as receptionists, type, and run the ditto and mimeograph machines. Not only do these girls serve Urbana High School, but they also gain valuable experience as office workers and receptionists. Certainly.
