THE CITY HALL What great city can exist without a well or- ganized city hall? Our city hall staff, Mrs. Condit, Miss Robertson, and Miss Volk, with the infinite patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon, would do much to make any city hall an efficient one. By fifteen minutes after eight every morning, the door of the city hall is opened, and the day begins; for soon after, students may be seen form- ing lines to get permission for early dismissals and to obtain excuses for absences. By nine o'clock, the attendance records arc being checked, and the bulletin is being prepared. Then follow all the little trifles that make the day a nightmare for the staff. A girl comes looking for her history book. Two boys, found wandering in the halls, are brought to the office to be tried and condemned. Besides these duties, telephone calls must be an swered, students' records must be sent to colleges and prospective employers, and numerous other unknown tasks must be performed This is merely an average morning in the office. Do you wonder that the staff needs patience? After three years of high school, whether we remember the office staff for writing our early dismissal slips when we were sophomores, or for helping us to find our lost books when we were juniors, or for writing recommendations when wc were seniors, wc shall not forget our office staff. Competence and friendliness typify our office staff. AU(t OW Betty Ifolk Dorothy Robin ton
