Preparing meals for the students and faculty was not as easy as it may have appeared. Twenty-two people comprised the ARA staff that teamed together to prepare, serve, and clean-up after meals. The group began work as early as seven-thirty in the morning and worked until three in the afternnon to serve nearly twenty-six hundred people every school day. Custodians also played a large role in the operation of the school. One shift was on campus early in the morning to make sure everything was ready for the day. Another shift stayed long after students went home, cleaning and re¬ pairing the buildings. They helped to create a fun learning atmosphere, not only through their manual services, but through their cheerfulness as well. Custodian John Krumrey received materials delivered to the school and delivered them to the departments who ordered them. School Personnel 15

A wide variety of language courses were offered by the English Department Almost every student was enrolled in an English class. Freshmen were introduced to Shakespeare, mythology, and writing of para¬ graphs while sophomores improved on their speaking skills and the development of essays. Juniors and seniors could choose from a wide selection of courses to complete the three-year English requirement for graduation. We en¬ countered the English language through read¬ ing, films, public speaking, literature, and writing. Mr. George Shea, new head of the English Department, stressed the importance of college preparation and the incorporation of writing into all courses. For the second year in a row.
