 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.

Erickson, Arrasmith, Baumann. There was a lot of work to be done in the kitch- en before the cafeteria line formed each noon. Mrs. Maud Marsh, the manager of the cafeteria, Mrs. Cornelia Erickson, and Mrs. Anna Moreland had to peel sixty pounds of potatoes before a typ- ical meal. They planned a variety of menus each day for an average of one hundred and seventy students and faculty. They were assisted by a number of students who got out of class a few minutes before the end of the third period in or- der to help. Carol Arrasmith, Nancy Baumann, Mary Ann Schweitzer, and Charlotte Clapp served in the line. Barb Erickson and Mary Arthur acted as cashiers and took the receipts to the bank. Bill Donels, Jim Bragonier, Steve Howell, Steve Henderson, Jim Ayres, and Dennis Erickson took turns doing the different K. P. jobs and serving the faculty. Bonnie Luther arranged the menu display board.
