Custodians needed at DHS? - are! You bet they 1 1. Don Pittman, 2. Jerry Gardner, 3. Joe Chavez. 4. Socorro Beltran, 5. Lee Hol- guin. It might be hard to imagine what DHS might look like without the work of the custodians. Suppose no one swept the halls or class rooms, emptied the waste baskets or came when emergencies arose such as clogged toilets or someone getting sick in a room. Custodians are often called over the PA system to handle such situations. But people probably see the custo- dian as a person with one job — clean- ing — but there ' s more to their job than that. They do plumbing work and elec- trical repairs, are called upon as paint- ers and are available for other chores. Lee Holguin, who was previously employed with the highway depart- ment before joining the staff at DHS, was tlie one successful candidate for the custodian job out of 100 applicants. He replaced Joe Chavez who was transferred to Smith School. When more time was required to do electrical repairs or plumbing work, the DHS custodians called in workers from the maintenance office. %. its m l k Rex Acker Angel Chavez Cruz Chavez Manuel Chavez Benny Herrera Bob Keehng Julian Vega Joseph Willey Angel Zuniga Q 198 ih)

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.

DHS requires work of 37 Assistants There were several new faces at DHS. The library had a new face, that of Mrs. Dean Coffman, who took over for Mrs. Lucy Ewan due to her illness. Mrs. Coffman supervised the assistants whose duties included shelving books, stamping books and keeping the library in order. In the guidance office there was another new face, not new to most of the students but new to DHS. Mrs. Mary Helen Chavez, former English teacher at DJHS, worked along with Mrs. Pryor, Mr. Teran, Mr. Krause and Mrs. Speer. There were 20 assistants doing duties for the counselors includ- ing typing, delivering messages, filing and making Xerox copies.
