Secretarial Staff There are eight members on the secretarial staff. These members are Vernon Westbay, Carolyn Stinebaugh, Esther Hibner, Evelyn Seitz, Edith Frey, Hulda Helmlinger, Mnemosyne Metzger, and Bob Krieger. These people will receive one-fourth credit at the end of the school term. The members of this staff work in the office or for some teacher everyday, as there is always something to do. They do all kind of work such as typing, ditto work, corbon copies, mimeograph copies, and many little jobs. There is the filing of important papers, the running of the ditto and mimeograph machines, and the clipping together of all test papers or other materials made out in the office. Miss Rickert, as secretary of the office, is the supervisor and she is the one who gives the staff the work to do. Each person has a certain period to work in the office each day and if there is need for more help people can be called from the study hall. If the people come into the office and there is no work to be done it is permissible for them to bring their own books to the office and do their personal work. Most of the students work in the office for experience. They can receive much valuable experience because they have to work by themselves. The staff has been one of the best secretarial staffs in Blume High School. All of the members have cooperated very well and they should receive much praise for the fine work done. C. Stinebaugh. R. Krieger. V. Westbay. M. Metzger. H. Helmlinger, E. Hibner. E. Seitz.

School Counci As the governing body of the school, this organization's purpose is to promote better school citizenship, to regulate extra-curricular activities, and to provide a method of self-government for the students. During the past year the School Council has taken care of such problems as scheduling school parties and picnics, caring for school property, and amending our Constitution. This body consists of one representative from each of the Freshman and Sophomore home rooms, two boys and two girls from each of the Junior and Senior classes, two members of the faculty, and the principal. The Council meets every Wednesday at the fifth period to discuss school problems and to make plans for outside activities. The officers of the School Council for this year were Don Shuler, president; Eloise Killian, vice-president; and Lura Mae Werner secretary-treasurer. The faculty members were Mrs. Miller and Mr. Hamer and our Principal, Mr. Humbert.

Retrospect Staff for 1940 E. Killian. Miss Blankenbaker. S. Sawmiller To the senior class is given the responsibility of editing an annual. The staff is elected by the class to take charge, but each member has a part. Many headaches are encountered becuse of the numerous technicalities: an appropriate cover must be selected; advertisements sold; subscriptions taken; pictures mounted; copy written and typed; and the entire publication sent to the press. Eloise Killian and Ned Metzger were the editor-in-chief and business manager respectively. They deserve a special word of commendation for the zest they have shown. The staff and the entire senior class are grateful to Miss Blankenbaker, the faculty adviser, who has given untiring efforts to the success of our Retrospect.
