 U4tocUci l6 Ames High students are fortunate to be able to work in a clean, well-kept building. For this they can thank the custodial staff. Sylvester Newkirk and Joe Middents come early each morning. Paul Sherman comes at noon to work the late shift. Although cleaning for 600 stu- dents is a full-time job, extra jobs such as re- pairing lockers and desks, replacing broken windows, and during the summer washing walls, painting, scrubbing the floors, and other repair jobs keep them busy. They come early to open the doors and many times stay late to clean up after basketball games and all high school parties. They give our school that extra special look by their mopping, shining and polishing. A person whom many of us depend on when we have been sick is our school nurse. Miss Ruth Ecklind. She comes each day from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in order to admit students who have been absent with a communicable disease. Here she is shown using a Project-O-Chart a device for screening for vision defects, to test Judy Nordin's vision. All sophomores and upperclassmen wearing glasses are given eye examinations each year. Miss Ecklind uses an instrument called the audiometer in giv- ing hearing tests to all sophomores. Miss Ecklind advises all students who have defective vision or hearing to obtain medical help. She says poor eyesight or hearing may be responsible for academic difficulties. Miss Ecklind spends the remainder of the day visit- ing the elementary schools. 16 Left to right: Paul Sherman, Sylvester Newkirk, and Joe Middents.
