Ofhke .Yfaff MISS SYKES MISS DOWD The most active room in the school is the main office. There is always a type- writer clicking or a conference going on. Through some seeming confusion, there is a definite order and routine. This routine is. kept in order by the two secretaries, Miss Sykes and Miss Dowd. Every day they check dozens of absentee slips and write many office letters. They also supervise the sending out of all slips and the checking in of all teachers. The office is not the only place where we meet and become acquainted with these two busy persons. To us, they are Margaret and Dorothy who attend most of the games and dances and plays. lt has often been said that they are interested in school activities as much as any class member. They are always willing to aid us with our school problems and many times have helped us out of scrapes. Miss Sykes and Miss Dowd have truly been our friends and we leave them with regret. Our sincere hope is that the coming years will bring many successes and re- wards to them. l am sure that classes to come will echo this wish, 15

The Hawthorne basement was renovated and made into a recreation room, which was ready for use May l7. On this date the annual Student Body Day was celebrated with our Rose Festival Princess presiding over a general talent assembly. ln the eve- ning a highly successful carnival was held in the afore-mentioned recreation room and a well attended dance took place in the gym. A service Squad, whose duties are to patrol the halls and usher at the various school productions, was organized under the capable leadership of Murl Wescott. Two movies were held during the term in activity period, which were free to Student Body members. A new experiment which was extremely popular with the students, as proved by the huge attendance, was the series of three afternoon dances, which were free to all those who held Student Body cards. Junior and Senior basketball letters were awarded and new sweaters were pur- chased for the Rally committee. Elections for next fall were held at the end of this term, which, due to the wise guidance of Mr. Windnagle and Bob Fischer and to the splendid cooperation of the entire committee, was one of unusual activity. 17
