Office Secretaries Function Efficiently M's. Margaret Baumann The office secretaries keep Washington High running smoothly. They check attendance of students, teachers, and substitutes, issuing emergency excuses, tardies, and cuts whennecessary. The secretaries type letters for Mr. Skinner, the vice principals, and the counsel- ors, and answer other letters which do not require a personal reply. Credits of all students are recorded in the office and transcripts are sent to the colleges for the seniors. There are many reports, such as grad- uation lists and the principal's reports, which must be compiled. Filing and transferring telephone messages consume much of the secretaries' time. These tasks are onlyafew of the many duties which the office staff performs efficiently. MS- M9-When? Huston Mrs. Harriette Miller

Washington High School is fortunate in being one of the Portland schools initiating this new P. S. S. C. program. The course covers fewer different subject areas thanthe traditional Physics course. For exam- ple, the study of sound is not taken up. However, the subjects that are studied are delved into in much detail. The mathematics and derivation of the material is considered to a great extent. Physics students discuss gravitational acceleration New Approach to Physics Noted in Actwe Sc1ence Department
