Qrganizational hift Improves Efficiency Typical of the everfchanging scene at Wash' ingtonflsee, several major shifts in organization took place in the oilice this year. Mrs. Ruth Watkins, registrar, moved to a separate office where she prof cessed the college transcripts of many anxious seniors. Mrs. Grace Thomas, who, as well as being treasurer of the school, is in charge of the bookroom and supply department, left the central oflice and moved to room 116. The reason for these shifts in organizaf tion was to relieve overcrowding in the main office, thereby creating greater eliiciency. Seeing a need for improved methods in orient' ing new student assistants to their jobs, Mrs. Mildred Nixon prepared a pamphlet entitled, You and Your job as an Qiiice Assistant. ng ' :fill .SQ iii T Eli ui--1. wi .x-.v pb .
