It would be hard to imagine school without teachers and administrators, but also important were the aides: Dolores Seikel, LRC aide; Marilyn Campbell, textbook akJe. Soleaaa Mendoza, business akJe; and Margie Melton, health aide. Dolores Seikel commented that she enjoyed her job because it wasn ' t mo- notonous. When the LRC added hun- dreds of new books to the collection, it entailed more filing and cataloging than previous years. There ' s always something new to learn, she retorted, I ' m growing every day. Textbook aide Marilyn Campbell felt the most rewarding aspect of her job was working with the E.S.L. Program. (English as a Second Language). I ' m constantly kept busy. There are so many new things to learn, she contri- buted without hesitation. Soledad Mendoza, who worked in the business department, confirmed that her job was versatile, kept her very busy, and she wouldn ' t want it any other way. The busiest part of her job was the secretarial work involved in the organi- zation of the business classes. Work ex- perience students gave her the most satisfaction. I love seeing so many students interested in their futures. Health aide Margie Melton main- tained that she had to hear every ex- cuse in the book when a student wanted to miss a class. My job defi- nitely kept me busy and interested, she exclaimed with laughter. There ' s no other job I ' d rather do. » Soledad Mendoza. Business Aide » Marilyn Campbell, Textbook Aide 202 Academics

Just a routine bust. reports Marga- ret »Bruno Debayona awaits the next onslaught Steering Us in the Right Direction Students and teachers were the two groups most associated with the chal- lenge we call school. But others partici- pated in the school games on campus as well. Two important players were the campus supervisors. Margaret Ellison and Bruno Debayona. Under their ex- pert eye. constant supervision, and ever-enforced rules of the game, stu- dents were moved in the right direc- tion. Yet even work could be com- bined with fun and good humor, as shown by Bruno Debayona, a first-year staffer on campus. He recalled with a smile his first day on campus and de- clared, I was so lost that I just walked around all day and must have circled the campus ten times. Both Bruno and Margaret agreed that the favorite as- pect of their job was associating with the students. Some students have told me the best jokes I have ever heard, exclaimed Margaret with en- thusiasm, while Bruno maintained that he had probably heard every excuse in the book. Both Margaret and Bruno smiled as they thought back on the many games the students had played to avoid getting in trouble. They agreed, with matching grins, that the most fre- quently used, and most often ignored excuse was, I woke up late . . . and I just got to school . . . and. .. ! Two other major contributors to Ar- lington life were the driver education instructors and the bus drivers. While the bus drivers kept the students in line, as confirmed by rider Christina Crampton, the driver education in- structors kept the students on the right side of the line. Both groups found sat- isfaction in their work and enjoyed the rewards of a job well done. Jim Riden- our, a twelve-year veteran as a driving instructor, stated, I most enjoy know- ing that I am helping and doing some good for people. All the bus drivers agreed that getting through the day safely was their reward. Because there was room for fun and games in any profession, the driving instructors were often referred to as either Kami-Kazi instructors or human torpedos. The campus supervisors, bus drivers, and driving instructors together formed a very important part of life on campus. With their combined efforts of hard work and good humor, these very important players added a touch of interest to Arlington life. Academics 2C1
