Because religion was not offered as a school subject, time was taken once a week for religious instruction. Each Wednesday morning the high school students attended religious classes ot their choice. None were compelled to go to these classesq those who did not wish to attend went to a regular study hall. The classes met for a 40 minute period. Some churches, too small tor an individual class, joined with other churches. Pastors from Albert Lea area churches taught the students. Buses were provided tor those whose churches were not within walking distance from school. Churches taught different subjects, but usually a book in the Bible or the everyday problems which Christians lace were discussed. ln some, hymns were sung and psalms were read. These weekly sessions gave students an opportunity to strengthen their faith and learn more about the Christian heritage. There was not much work assigned tor this class aside from Bible reading and other assignments con- nected with the discussions. Special report cards were issued at the same time as the regular report cards. RELIGIOUS RELEASE TIME class conducted by the Rev. Fred Iacoh- sen discussed the New Testament in relation to the end of the world. ' rfl 2 M 9 it ' ' 3 l Page 29

Page 30 The janitors continued to be an established part of the school system. Although their main responsibilities were to maintain the neatness of the school building, they were also confronted by many extra duties. Throughout the day, the regular duties of the janitors included sweeping hall floors, straightening desks, tables and chairs in classrooms at the end of the school day, washing blackboards, emptying Waste-paper bas- ets and cleaning all classrooms every day. During school vacations and on most Weekends, the staff made an extensive cleaning of the building. Floors and desks were Waxed and windows were Washed. Extra responsibilities of the men occurred throughout the year. Occasionally a broken or stuck locker re- quired fixing. Often students requested the keys of a janitor to retrieve a forgotten book in a locked class- room. ln the winter, snow had to be shoveled and the slippery sidewalks sanded to prevent accidents. Several times the heavy snow was removed from the roof of the school by the janitors. A constant duty was that of regulating the heat in all the classrooms of the building.
