OFFICE NEWS There has been quite a change in the office this year. The business of a unit district increased the office traffic to a point of over-flowing. Mr. McMullin is assurning the high school Principals' office duties while Mr. Clinton extends his duties to that of Superintendent of the High School and the cityelementary schools. Capable secretaries, Laraine and Mrs. Allen have proved their worth. The office at the high school which has the only fire resistant record storage vault in the district, is logically being called the schools central office. There the business of the school is centered. We regard the office as a place where students and teachers alike can go with their problems or their plans and get a hearing. ' The records accu.milated by each student in school are stored in the office. The school board records of every sort are stored there. Group planning of programs and future progress is centered there. There is a general feeling in our office that they now have the advice and council of expert school inspectors and that the effieiency of the school will grow and grow and grow. What men want is not talent: it is purposeg in other words, not the power to achieve, but the will to labor.- Bulwer We in the office want the best possible education suited to the needs of every student. LUNCH-ROOM The amount of students this year eating lunch at school has increased almost three times more than last year. This proves the students enjoy their noonday lunches. The kitchen is becoming more readily estab- lished with the use of two new pressure cookers,new pans and other new kitchen appliances which amounted to two-hundred dollars. One hundred and fifty dollars worth of silver was purchased, also flourescent lights and all new floorccoverings. Everyone here at VCHS is very proud of their modern lunch room and are helping keep it clean and orderly. Congratulations from EVANS TRUCK SERVICE of Thayer Compliments of DR. F. E. ANSPAUGH 61
