CAESAR RODNEY
SCHOOL NEWS

The recently distributed 1856
Crisp, the Caesar Rodney High
School Yearbook, is dedicated to
Miss Frances Evans, senior secre-
tary of the school.
The dedicatory statement char
acterizes Miss Evans "as the more
than capable secretary who can
be called on for anything, at any
time, by anybody
Miss Evans known as Jack" to
her adult friends came to Caesar
Rodney as the school secretary in
1929 upon graduation from the now
Wesley Junior College. Wilbur H.
Jump was then superintendent and
the school enrolment was little
more than 500. During the first
years of her tenure the school had
neither nurse nor guidance coun-
selor and the school secretary
bandaged wounds and consoled the
unfortunates who had lost books,
lunches, or friends.
Miss Evans recalls that she
taught class in typing for one Sc
mester and frequently supervised
study periods. Glass change bells
required constant vigilance as they
were hand operated instead of be-
ing automatic from a clock, as
now.
Miss Evans is past president of
the Caesar Rodney Alumni Associ-
alton and has for several years di-
rected the table arranging for
most of the many banquets served
by the association. AS a former
athlete, she has been vitality inter
ested in the school athletic pro-
gram.
Outside the school Miss Evans
has been very active in further pro-
fessionalizing the school secretar-
les and has attended several ma
tional and state workshops. She is
a past president of the Delaware
School Secretaries Association and
is at present serving on the plan
ming committee for the forthcom-
ing Secretaries Conference at thu
University of Delaware.
Miss Evans now heads staff of
four secretaries which cater to the
many needs of over 1850 students
and 65 teachers. striving to main
tain the personal touch and indi-
vidual attention which character
ICES the philosophy of the school.
