Office, guidance, and library
personnel performed tasks
essential to the overall
efficiency of WMHS.
A
3-M
company existed in
the main office, in the form of
three secretaries, Mary Brooks,
Mabel Teddlie, and Marian
Counts. Mrs. Brooks was
secretary to the principal , Mrs.
Teddlie not only was school
bookkeeper but also supervisor
of student workers in the
office, and Mrs. Counts took
care of most duplicating needs
of teachers and assisted in
the office secretarial work.
For the four guidance
counselors, schedules and
report cards were familiar
forms. Not only did Mrs .
loretta Ashbrook, Mrs. Sarah
Allen, Mr. Mallory Banister and
Mrs. Mary McCoy aid students
with class schedules but also
with career and college
material. The counselors were
responsible for inviting college
representatives to talk with
students about their choices.
In addition to being a
counselor. Mrs. Ashbrook
worked with the National
Honor Society and Mr.
Banister with Student Council.
Student workers in the main
office and guidance office had
weekly assignments due to
essential
Mrs. Ashbrook for their credit
in office training.
In the library, Mrs. Jane
Hobgood and Mrs. Shirley
Rush assisted both students
and teachers in using the
facilities. In the fall the
librarians conducted a
sophomore orientation in the
English classes, and in the
second semester, librarians
aided seniors in their quest for
materials for research papers.
Librarians also catologued
books and maintained files for
the six newspapers and 96
