Keeping our school’s climate perfect and maintaining a pleasant appearance for the city of Byrd are the schooFs engineers, Mr. Caddis Ware and Mr. Jack Williams. With at least one on duty twenty-four hours a day, the school is kept “ship-shape” throughout the year. The business affairs of the school are kept in order by our office staff of five secretaries. Performing such Staff Handles All Phases daily tasks as checking absentees, handling Byrd’s mail, and typing the afternoon sheet, the secretaries are aided by student office workers who have given up their study halls to help their school. Devoted strictly to the noon diet of Byrd’s 2500 stu- dents, the cafeteria personnel spend their time making nourishing as well as delicious meals. Assisted by stu- dent cafeteria workers, the staff helps to celebrate such holidays as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day by adding a special festive touch to the food.
