 Is that really what you want me to put In this letter?” Mr. Harold Dcopke, Junior High Principal and Mrs. Renee Schaefer. Secretary Due to the exceedingly heavy administrative load of the principal's office last year and to prepare for the coining division of the school into junior and Senior Highs, a program was set up to have two offices functioning this year. The transformation of the former counseling room into an office set the junior High students up with an office of their own run capably bv Mr. Harold Dcopke. Previously the assistant principal. Mr. Docpke now senes as the Junior high principal. Mrs. Renee Schafer, a 19 graduate of W.H.S., docs all the secretarial work of the junior High Office. All disciplinary problems concerning students in grades 7-9 are handled by Mr. Dcopke. It is a wonder how anyone with his sense of humor can be a good disciplinarian, but anyone who has come in contact with him — on friendly terms or othcnvisc! — can verify that he has earned the respect and admiration of all with his fricndlv, but stern manner. Die office was relieved at times with the aid of some office helpers. 'Hie girls did work similar to that in the Sr. Hi Office. 'Die burden on the junior High office will be increased as more plans arc made for the final split of the school. 'Iliis split in the offices is one of the first steps of the final break between schools. Upon completion of the new Senior High near Gleason's Like, our present building will conform completely to the demands of the junior High life, making conditions in lx)th places considerably less crowded. The junior High students greatly appreciate having an office of their own to handle scholastic and personal problems. Separate Junior and Senior Ready and willing oflice helper of W.H.S.

 Now you may present your side of the story.” Mr. Roald Johnson. Senior High Principal High Offices Provide More and Better Services The senior high office was efficiently run by Mrs. Violet Tcndal and Mrs. Gladys Rcincrtsen under the direction of Mr. Roald Johnson. They were aided by the girls who served as office workers during their study periods. As principal of W.H.S., Mr. Johnson was in charge of the entire high school curriculum and instruction. In addition to his other tasks and demands, he was also the disciplinarian of unruly students. Mr. Tcndall, known to be a hard and capable worker, was in charge of all student records and files. She was also responsible for the attendance of the entire student bodv. A new face in the office this year was that of Mrs. Rcincrtsen, who replaced Judy Cruikshank as Mr. Johnson's secretary. She was in charge of all the secretarial work in the senior high office. Although she has been with us only a year, Mrs. Rcincrtsen gained the reputation of an industrious worker. Senior high girls with good records, willing to give up their study halls, were chosen to work in the office. There were three or four girls who worked in the office each hour, one of whom may have primarily worked for Mr. Horn and Mr. Thumblad. Hie girls had various duties: collecting absentee slips, delivering messages to students and teachers, typing for the secretaries or the counselors, running errands, and many other odd jobs. In addition to gaining office experience, the girls helped make the senior high office a more efficient one. Hie entire staff of the senior high office deserves a note of thanks from the entire student body for making its high school days more meaningful and successful. The student docs not realize until he is about to graduate how much help the principal and everyone else in the office has been to him. Although lie may not express his gratitude until much later in fife, he is. nevertheless, grateful. Let's try and locate him in the lunchroom.” Mrs. Gladys Rcincrtsen and Mrs. Violet Tendall, Secretaries Page Nine
