Secretaries Play an Essential Role The secretaries at YHS are the behind-the-scenes workers who are indispensable to the efficient run- ning of the school. Working closely with school ad- ministrators are Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Cap- erton, Mrs. Broocks, and Mrs. Smith. These ladies do an enormous amount of paper work and handle nu- merous phone calls each day. Keeping books for the high school is another task with which they are faced. Miscellaneous work includes writing receipts and checking individuals listed on the daily absentee slips. The students, administration and faculty real- ize their tremendous service and are trulv aware of their priceless aid. I m almost up to forty words a minute!” gloats Mrs. Brooks to herself. Hello!
