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.

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 .

ay ilrieu ' 5c. He ' burger, iglmck :y really Ross May ' s busses carry 970 students a day. The School Board purchased five new 65-passenger school buses before the school year began. Ross May, bus contractor, took over Eddie Marcak ' s busses when Marcak, who had operated busses for 21 years, resigned as school bus contractor. The busses travel a little more than 1,900 miles a day and 343,080 miles during the year, transporting about 970 stu- dents a day. A number of local bus drivers attended the New Mexico Bus Drivers Institute in Silver City before the school year began. Their busses are inspected twice a year, before the school year begins and about in the middle of the school year, to check if everything is working prop- erly. The busses are also used and drivers put to work to transport students and athletes to out-of-town games and activities. Ross May I, First row: Marsha Borovina. Lucy Brdecko, Cathy Hervol.
