Students Ditficult to Locate As a Result ot Free Time The greatest daily problem which plagues the sec- retaries of Westside is locating students during their free time. Even though a special office file lists the schedules of each pupil and teacher, confusion still exists. Mrs. Darlene Eliason, secretary of the Guidance De- partment, is responsible for the IBM forms, report cards, and data processing. The personal correspondence of Mr. Farrar and Mr. Hoyt is handled by Mrs. Joyce Walker. Mrs. Alice Gillogly assists Dr. Kenneth Hansen. Mrs. .lo Catania arrives early each morning in order to take student atten- dance. Mrs. Virginia Hall oversees the regulated study halls. Work pertaining to Mr. Lee Perkins, the administrative intern, or athletics is shared between Mrs. Gillogly and Mrs. Walker. Another problem modular scheduling presented was due to the flexibility of Seniors' schedules. Often students forgot to sign in and were counted absent. DAY CUSTODIANS: Front Row, A. Wondra, J.

Preparation of Meals Now Requires Careful Planning If you spend any of your free time near the kitchen, you may hear a variety of noises. These familiar sounds heard each morning indicate that the cooks are busy preparing another meal. Modular scheduling has greatly affected the lunch program. Careful and precise planning is mandatory as students are free to eat whenever their schedules permit. According to Mrs. Ruth Severine, head cook, Adjustments are being made, and everything is going quite wellf' A special line was formed each day for those students who were allowed only one mod in which to eat. Students could take advantage of this by displaying their schedules. The custodial staff is constantly busy keeping the build- ing and grounds clean. Other jobs include preparing the football field before a game and setting up the bleachers for special events. Six men and two women work during the day, while four men work the evening shift.

Attendance in Library Rises As ci Result of New System More students are using the library at Westside High School as a result of modular scheduling, according to Mrs. Ferne Mellor, head librarian. Last year, the approxi- mate number of books and magazines in circulation was 42,000 during the entire year. This year, there were ap- proximately 9,000 books and magazines in circulation dur- ing a month's period. The library is professionally referred to as the IMC or the instructional materials center. Four individual sub-re- source centers are included within the IMC. There are centers for math. business, science, and foreign language. English and social studies research materials are located on a separate shelf in the library. Mrs. Ferne Mellor, head librarian and her assistant, Mr. Harlan Johnson, are most often found assisting stu- dents with particular academic problems. However, this is not the entire library staff. Mrs. ,loan Jansen. full-time clerk, and assistant clerk, Mrs. Evelyn Krabbenhoft, pro- cess all the books, place orders for new books, and check them in. Mrs. Krabbenhoft also is in charge of the Z-Club library assistants. Supervising and disciplining the students in the library study-hall is the responsibility of Mrs. lrene Christie. An IMC is being planned for next year in the new cafeteria addition. Another para-professional will be added to the staff to assist the students using this reference center. Taking advantage of the lilarary's card catalogue, Tammy Hindersbegins to do some research for an up-coming term paper in Senior Composition. Mrs. Ferne Mellor, head librarian, Mr. Harlan Johnson, assistant librarian, and Mrs. Joan Jansen, full- Mrs. Irene Christie and Mrs. Evelyn Krabben- time clerk are always eager to assist all Westside students with their various academic proiects. hott represent valuable assistance to teachers. ...aa SNMP? t zX12.......1.f
