 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

Service with a smile! Assistant Librarian, Mrs. Hanesalo and Forde, Donna Hiscock. Virginia Husted, Carol Towner. Seated: library helpers: Mandy Hughes, Mary Anne Pease. Spencer Roily Johnson Wolff, Janet Horejsl, Carol Larson, Sharon Peterson. Arthella Library Provides Information Center For All School Subjects Librarians, Mr. Frank Blonigan and Mrs. Marion I lane salo, along with the many student librarians have provided the student body with their able and willing assistance during the jxist year. Mrs. Hanesalo, back at Wavzata after a few years absence. is once again our cajxible assistant librarian. Mr. Blonigan, with us for his second year, was our competent head librarian. Volunteers from study halls with good academic records have proved to be very helpful in the library. In many cases, they had the same work as the students and were very helpful in giving other assistance. In addition to helping others, the student helpers learned to shelve books, letter books, write overdue notices, and many other odd jobs. A new policy concerning use of the library was inaugurated this year. Students using the library during their study periods must use at least half of the hour using li-brarv materials and they must use all of their time wisely. 'Iliis helped keep the library open for those students who needed to use it and kept those out who come just to do homework not requiring library materials. Use of the librarv and its materials were a great help in doing school work. Students who wished to keep the privilege of using them, must abide by the rules set up. In addition to the many new fiction books, the Traveling Science Library was found to be beneficial. A new set of encyclopedias also were added, making the old set available to students to check out over night. With added improvements this vear, the W.U.S. librarv will soon have material to satisfy' everyone. JjJJJf Librarlan r ”' ,0 Ko down Mr- Frank Blonigan. Page Eleven
