These cheerful words, accompanied by a friendly smile, greeted those peo- ple who needed help or information from the main office. Under direction of Miss Bernice Christensen, the main office personnel efficiently executed the many tasks necessary to the smooth operation of school activities. Among these duties were taking telephone messages, running errands, and assist- ing with the upkeep of files and records. ATTENDANCE AND NURSE'S ASSISTANTS: In the attendance office, helping Mrs. Lora laiber, girls collected attendance slips and compiled each day's absentee list. There were also girls assisting Mrs. Ethel Stamatakis, the school nurse. They served as receptionists and aided her in her many duties, including checking eyes, ears, heights, and weights of new students. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS: To aid Mrs. Floramae Phillips, head librarian, and Mrs. Kathryn Guernsey, her assistant, twenty- four students worked as library assistants this year. While- completing ten lessons pertaining to library procedure, the assistants, who devoted one period a day to working in the library, shelved books, mended them when the need arose, and prepared new books for display. STAGE CREW: Although Wilson does not, as of yet, have a stage, a group of boys were organized to act as a stage crew in the gymnasium which was used as a makeshift auditorium. These boys were in charge of setting up scenery when it was required, running the phonograph, and adiust- ing the volume of the microphone during assemblies. P. Rud, M. Mueller, W. Gay, L. Zachow.

So that they would be prepared for foot- ball season when it arrived, the Marching Band began its year as the football players did, turning out early before school started. At all home football games during the year the Marching Band provided half-time entertainment. In addition to providing half-time enter- tainment, the band played at pep assemb- lies, fooball games, and basketball games. At pep assemblies the band played Wil- son's school song and other pep songs for which the song leaders had routines. Our band received recognition for fine performances. Some awards were: the sec- ond place trophy from the Santa Claus parade held in Seattle, Lise Nero's repre- sentation in the All Northwest Band , and the band's marching in Tacoma's Daffodil Parade.
