Who is it that signs passes to the telephone, carefully explains the ACT test‑for the third time to the same student‑sells just one pencil, returns the lunches left at home, returns lost class rings, books, gymsuits, and folders, helps a student find information on the Chivington Massacre, or schedules classes for some three thousand students? The Maine West secretaries, of course.

It is thanks to these many secretaries that the freshman gets another copy of his schedule, students get late passes to their classes, counselors can find the students they need, and the Daily Bulletin gets out on time every morning. Without their assistance many students would never find a misplaced red sweater or the class ring left somewhere in C‑wing.

The Maine West secretaries help keep the school running smoothly. Departmental secretaries, Adult Evening School, student accounting, registrar, the switchboard, student activities, and the school calendar all provide information to help many, many students.

The secretaries are always ready to help all of the students with their varied problems. They are the ones who are greatly responsible for the efficient and smooth way Maine West is run. They handle lost and found, passes, special bulletins, detentions, a million different applications, belts, those little green slips, the mail, the little yellow slips field trips mimeographed tests
