Friendly Secretaries Serve YHS ' s Needs When a person thinks of a secretary, he thinks of someone who types, takes dictation and sets up ap- pointments for the employer, but the average secret- ary at YHS does all this and much more. Mrs. McMurtrie works in the counselor ' s and assis- tant principal ' s office. She must schedule appoint- ments for students with their counselors, help with the grade keeping and mails out the progress reports. In the main office, Mrs. Edgerton and Mrs. Halsey take care of things like answering the phone handing out working papers, locker distribution and schedul- ing appointments. Both women deal with the money exchanges between the clubs and organizations and take inventory at the end of each school year. YHS ' s student body owes their secretaries a big thank-you for helping keep our school running smoothly. Top: Betty and Rose count and record the profits made at the last dance. Above: The xerox is broken again? Does this make it the one millionth time this year? inquires Rose. Right: Betty stops typing the daily bulletin for one last addition.

Dedication Plus The Yale Marching Band is a hard working and dedicated group. Under the direction of Miss Shafer, the band always plays during half time at the home football games. The band also puts on a Christmas concert and a Spring Concert. They also play at graduation and in the Memorial Day parade. The band has worked hard this year and the improvement is greatly noticed. A ' Cappella Choir Dazzles Crowd The Yale A ' Cappella Choir is a talented group of students under the direction of Mrs. Sopha. The choir performs a Christmas con- cert each year. This year ' s concert in- cluded traditional carols and religious songs. At their Spring concert, the A ' Cap- pella Choir performed lively music featuring solos and ensembles. Another Choir-sponsored activity is the annual Talent Show. This gives all students the opportunity to de- monstrate their talent. With the assistance of Mrs. Sopha and their own talent and determination, the Yale A ' Cappella Choir is worth seeing. Top: 1981-82 Yale High School Band. Above: Yale Cappella Choir.

Home Makers The Home Economics department is used to prepare students to be good consumers and to prepare them for their life roles. The Home Ec. teachers Miss Carpenter, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Wilier think that every year their department gets better because no matter what occupation or direction students go into the skills ' taught in Home Economics classes. This year there is a Home Economics class being offered to the Freshmen. The Home Ec. Depart- ment also has a new food processor this year. Top Right: Miss Carpenter. Lower Right: Mrs. Taylor. Above: Mrs. Wilier. Counselors Aid Students With a ratio of more than 330 students to one, counselor time can get a little short during one week. The counselors have more responsibilities than seeing just the students. Mr. Coetze and Mr. Little must organize skill center schedules, testing programs, make sure seniors are given the opportunity for many different scholarships. Both counselors, in addition to these duties, have the responsi- bility of seeing students several times a year and making sure their files are in order.
