Running call slips is just one of the jobs which attendance office helpers Marilyn Jones, Sindy Sharber, Juanita Kuepferle, Pat Griesel, Elaine Lust, Doris Cobb, and Glenda McGee do to lighten the work of Dean Lorene Francis (standing) and her assistants Mrs. Martha Nelson, Mrs. Vagia Newman, and Mrs. Willie Hill. School Offices Range From Small Cubicle to Suite Students come to the attendance office for tardy cards and excuse slips. Here are kept the records of the school. Career Clinic and counseling activities are planned in the office of Vice Principal J. H. Malone. Morning scriptures are read over the public address system in Principal Dale Douglas’ office. A student can locate a teacher’s class, get requested blank forms, or make an official phone call. Besides the central offices, there are several operated by faculty members and student helpers. These play a necessary role in the school’s operation. Busy, busy, days arc made easier for Senior Counselor Bonnie Wilkins, with the aid of her quintet of helpers. Seated are Hope Russell and Miss Wilkins. Standing are Marilyn Hood, Gail Wilson, Suzanne Park, and Gabriel Gruschkus. 19

Dean’s Duties Are Many As Dean of Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Lorene Francis is in charge of attendance, enrollment, and j many of the school records. Every student must be accounted for, and it is Mrs. Francis’s respon- i sibility to see that this is done. Tardy cards, admit cards, and clinic cards,—all must come from the Dean’s office. With open ears, Mrs. Francis listens intently as Willie Wildcat explains how his car had a flat or he went to the wrong class. Mrs. Francis’s duties begin in the summer before the school doors open and continue even after the school year ends. Mrs. Francis has served as Dean for thirteen years, coming to Woodrow Wilson from William B. Travis School in Dallas. MRS. LORENE FRANCIS Dean and Counselor Fill Important Positions Co u nsel or Is Seniors’ Friend Woodrow Wilson’s Senior Counselor, Miss Bonnie Wilkins, is forever busy with an endless sequence of choice cards to be filled out and program cards to be changed. Miss Wilkins is never too busy to help a confused student. Seniors find her wise in the ways of the college and business world. Thankful students vow, “Only Miss Wilkins could have straightened my subjects out.” Always willing to help, this kind lady has inspired many average students to bring their grades up to college requirement level. For those who need financial assistance for their college education, Miss Wilkins provides encouragement and scholarship applications. 18 MISS BONNIE WILKINS
