Behind the scenes of the Administrative Office, we find several students who are willing to give up their study periods to help relieve some of the many duties of the office personnel. Each day they are responsible for typ- ing, mimeographing, and distributing the list of absentees to all the teachers. They also include in their work typing notices for the faculty and administration and running the many and varied errands of the office. We are certainly proud of these students, who are willing to learn by doing. Seated: Gail Ballew, Sandi Medeiros. Standing: Betty Jane Gouldthorpe, Bill Hopkins, Vivian Riner. Workers behind the scenes There comes a time each day that every- one looks forward to with longing, and that is lunch. Teachers and students alike are able to forget the problems of the day and relax in the pleasant atmosphere of the caf- eteria. It is through the stimulating lunch breaks that we are able to energetically proceed through the remainder of the day. We are grateful to the competent lunch- room staff, who has worked, to provide us with a well-balanced and nutritious meal. Pictured are Mrs. Parr, Mrs. Falls, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Massie. 21

There are at A.C.H.S. individuals who have a great responsibility entrusted in them. They are the bus drivers who are accountable for keeping the buses in running condition and getting the stu- dents safely to and from school in rain or snow. They show a great deal of patience in putting up with all the noise and commotion that the body of students makes. With cheerfulness they accept all of this and faithfully devote themselves to their work. In fact, what could we do without them; for it is through their tireless efforts that, from far and near, we are able to come and complete our edu- cation. Much credit must be given to the bus drivers— our bus drivers. Our trusted friends Each day the custodians spend many hours working to keep A.C.H.S. in order. They not only work during a school day session but also after classes are dismissed. It is then that they strive to bring organization to the disorder cre- ated by the daily activities. They are always willing to help when dances, banquets and other school functions are held. It is surprising the many errands that are carried on through their untiring efforts as they add to the efficiency of the school. Indeed they prove invaluable in every situation and are always ready to aid. Left to right: Sam Ross, James Smith, John Beverly, Viola Davis. 00
