lf a student pauses briefly to look into the business olhce he can see Miss Patenaude, Miss Tourville, and Mrs. Green working industriously. These secretaries are always ready with a pleasing smile. During a normal school day, their jobs might range from giving a student money, which has been deposited in the business office to be kept safely, to the most intricate accounting. Although these secretaries are un- noticed by many students, they are as much a part of the school life as the 370 students and 45 faculty mem- bers with whom they cooperate to make a successful school. ,A- , , ,sweat I . est we . --M ........-, 'sg' S , ,W . t.f- Ly,-f'ffL52'e-A Wilmot S.

With Mr. Westcott E. S. Moulton, ,27, as full-time head of the Alumni Office, the efficiency of this organiza- tion should be improved greatly. The office serves as a direct tie between the students and faculty and the alumni, parents, and friends. It handles all alumni records and corre- spondence. The office arranges and conducts important anniversaries. It organizes alumni clubs along the Northern and Middle Eastern sea- board. As a result of these eiforts, Williston has one of the most loyal alumni bodies of all prep schools in the nation. The Williston Annual Fund, founded forty-two years ago, affords pay increases for the teachers and scholarships for students. In conjunction with the Alumni Office, the Williston Bulletin, pub- lished four times a year, under the editorship of Mr. Moulton, reaches out as a voice to all parents and alumni of the school. The Bulletin puts emphasis on reports from the Progress Fund and feature articles. Mr. Westcott E. S. Moulton '27, Head of the Alumni office, is operating the Addressograph for the Bulletin. As Editor-in-Chief, he puts it out as a service to alumni. . ,, , Ni ,.i?2'.- F ff lv- , .. M .P -Ji. . ,, -iv aff, 26 -' t. . .f ff if-I 5 s, fag, -. W' . Y. ..,. .,,,., ,av gaw- ' ,Y ,.
