N ILl I Nurse finds lack of interest in weight program The job of a school nurse includes a lot of responsiblities like keeping up with everyone ' s medical files, making sure the files are up date, and screening students for scoliosis. She also orders medical supplies, selects supplies, selects supplies used in educating students on how to care for themselves, h olds staff meetings with other school nurses, and works on other medical related programs. Mrs. Lela Samples has been a part of DHS for the last 8 years and a member of the nursing career for 34 years. Mrs. Samples hoped to organize a weight program called TOPS, but despite all her effort with announce- ments and posters, she still had little response, so the program had to be canceled. % 1 .

Grill prepares more than 300 lunches a day At 1 1 :35 when the bell rings to go to lunch, about 300 hungry DHS students rush to the grill for a nutritious lunch. For the past years there have been only four grill workers, but in the spring of the year the grill hired a new worker. Pauline Grelle. Mrs. Grelle joined Pearlie Collins, manager, Jamalee Kimler, Eugenia Lucero, and Rosa Tinney in preparing the lunches. Each worker arrives at 7:30 in the morning and leaves at 2:30, except for Mrs. Col- lins who arrives at 7:00. The workers prepare more than 300 lunches everyday. They make 35 to 40 pounds of fries a day and try to prepare enough food so that everybody has the same choice. It isn ' t always possible for the students to have the same choice because the number of students who eat at the grill varies from day to day. Students can purchase their choice of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, burritos, and other goodies, plus French fries, a milk shake or milk, for only 75C. The most popular food is the cheeseburger. The workers enjoy preparing lunch for the Wildcats, but what they really like about their job is the contact with the students. I J t l l irfl I.
