Top: CHARLES MAYNE Bottom: DONALD MYERS DOROTHY SMITH JOAN McMASTERS SCHOOL BOARD It would be difficult to choose the personnel of a school board who has the interest of the school more at heart than Mr. Shuman, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Mayne. Messrs. Myers and Shuman have a special school interest because they have children in school. Mr. Shuman, as a business man, represents busi- ness interests on the School Board. Mr. Myers, as a farm- er, represents the rural peo- ple. While Mr. Mayne, a home owner and a traveling sales- man, represents the citizens from another angle; in his travel he has a fine opportun- ity to observe business con- ditions and to become ac- quainted with school prob- lems of other communities. OTTO SHUMAN In a modern high school of today, there is a great deal of office work to be done. During this present school year the office work was done by five girls. Dorothy Smith, a junior, worked during the activity period gathering the records of attend- ance from the various home rooms. She also ob- tained the number of pupils staying for lunch for the lunch-room. Marian DeWitt, a senior, worked in the office for Superintendent Overmeyer, the third period. She had charge of the Disbursement Ledger, Fund Ledger, and Claim Docket. Janice Shultz, senior, checked afternoon at tendance and recorded the high school attendance in the register. She also takes care of the typing for the Athletic Department. In addition she helped with the permanent cards. Charlotte Shull took care of the office the fifth period. She kept alumni records up to date, took dictations, typed, and wrote checks. Joan McMasters, a junior, did general office work the last period. She obtained the final report of the day from the teachers on attendance. She helped with the grade cards. MARIAN DeWITT JA NICE SHULTZ CHARLOTTE SHULL
