Hope Beisel has been a secretary
nt Offset Paperback Manufacturers,
oved every minute of it.
“It’s a wonderful place to work,”
aid Hope. “The executives, depart-
0 considerate and treat everyone
o well. I look forward to going to
ork each day.”
A resident of Shavertown, Hope is
arried to Kenneth Beisel,
mployee of Back Mountain Lumber
nd Coal. They have a son, Gary;
aughter, Kathie Roman, and four
randchildren.
Hope is secretary to Thomas
arvel, president of Offset Paper-
back Mfg. Inc., but when the com-
pany was not as large as,it is now,
in addition to being secretary to the
hans, vice president of finance.
When she first started with the
company, it was in the shipping
then to the accounting
department and, from there, she
moved to the position as secretary
to the president.
Prior to moving to Offset, Hope
was office manager at Back Moun-
tain Lumber & Coal Company for 10
years.
When asked what her duties as
secretary to the president were,
Hope paused for a while.
“I never thought about it,’ she
said. ‘You might say I make cer-
‘Imake appointments, take care of
make travel
arrangements. With a company as
large as ours, a lot of traveling is
involved. I am also word-processing
office manager.”
‘Hope said the company has a very
equipment and that the more the
company grows ,the more interest-
it becomes. She trains all other
aries coming into the office.
he rmal work week is 9 a.m. to 5
five days a week, but most of
ecretaries always stay longer
to finish last minute reports or other
lent training. Her employer was a
perfectionist and he taught her the
right way to do everything.
She studied business at Meyers
High School, but believes experi-
ence is the best training. She has
attended seminars and courses at
Hope enjoys her work so much
that she usually arrives at the office
|as from manual typewriters to elec-
school three different times to learn
the various processes.
She marvels at the improvements
made possible by the new equip-
ment and thoroughly enjoys word
processing.
“Every letter, every bulletin we
send out looks so professional, it’s
wonderful,” said Hope.
Is Hope appreciated? ‘We all
are,” she says. Like others in the
company, the secretaries have four
weeks vacation, their birthday eff,
paid holidays, paid personal days
and other benefits.
Attractive, soft-spoken and excep-
tionally friendly, Hopes possesses
efficiency and supervision that are
underestimated by those who do not
know her. The smooth-running
office, the ease with which every-
thing seems to be achieved is due to
the supervision, alert and watchful
eyes of Hope. Beisel, who learned
long ago that organization begets
efficiency and efficiency gets
results.
Were Hope and the other secre-
taries honored on Secretary’s Day,
Wednesday, April 24? The answer —
there are 43 girls in the office. All of
the girls receive flowers and
although ‘they do not all go out at
the same time (that’s impossible in
such a large company), the execu-
tives take their secretaries out for
lunch. In other areas, managers and
supervisors take their girls for
lunch sometime during this week.
Thomas Marvel, president of
Offset Mfgrs., Inc. and Hope's
immediate supervisor, said that he
has been with the company for 11
years and during that time, Hope
has been his administrative assist]
ant and secretary.
“Hope is a loyal and dedicated
person and is always available to do
more than she is expected to do. In
1984, she was the recipient of Offsef]
Mfrs. ‘Employee of the Year’
award,” said Marvel.
Marvel explained that Hope is one
of the senior employees of the com
pany and has kept very much
abreast of the times, always ready
to accept new responsibilities.
“She instructs the other personnel
in word-processing equipment and
our other updated processes. We are]
a very close-knit family at Offset
Paperback Mfrs., and much of this
is due to Hope and her dedication tc
the company.”
Marvel also confirmed the fact
that the executives and other
department heads honor their. office
personnel with flowers and special
luncheons during Secretary’s Week,
only one of the recognitions the
company gives their employees.
The recent arrival of the newest
member of your household is the
perfect time to arrange for a WEL-
# COME WAGON call.

resentative and my basket is full of

BELIEVE ME, when you spend
every morning with pre-schoolers,
there is never a dull moment. This
week, students at Trinity Nursery
School enjoyed a visit from Mrs.
Marilyn Rudolph, Back Mountain
Memorial Library, children’s librar-
ian.
Any mother familiar with Mrs.
Rudolph knows that there is no one
better to introduce your child to the
library. In her usual marvelous
way, Mrs. Rudolph discussed visit-
ing the library, how to take out
books, then we enjoyed some sto-
ries, one on the alphabet one on the
coming of spring and one on telling
time.
During the story time we found
out that Mary Beth Gainard, a
member of the four-year-old class is
quite a good reader as she could
read book titles, sentences, etc.
Then, while discussing how to tell
time and what time we went to bed,
Kevin Shak told us that he goes to
bed at “38”.
These facts were surprising
enough, but Carl Sgarlet came up
with a most interesting theory. Carl
is convinced that since the librarian
has a last name like Rudolph, she
definitely. must work for Santa
Claus.
All that and we enjoyed a film
about Winnie The Pooh and Tigger,
Too. Gee, I just love special pro-
grams; they really are so informa-
tive.
