[Keepers of the [Pagoda Under the able leadership of Irving Leverenz, our maintenance staff of seven very capable men keep Downers Grove High School in excellent condition. Their duties, while school is in session, vary from cleaning up spilled ink and setting up chairs for assemblies to shoveling snow and regulating the heat. Alter school closes, their real work begins. They clean all the classrooms, wash JANITORS the windows, and wax the floors. They trim the hedges, prune the trees, and mow the lawn to keep our campus looking the best of any in the suburban area. Visitors in Downers are immediately impressed by the sparkling cleanliness of the building and the simple dignity of the lovely campus. All this we owe to our janitorial staff. Theirs is a long, hard, and seldom appreciated task which is per- formed diligently and expertly. We, of the class of 48, would like to thank them now for keeping our school one to be proud of! Good food is appreciated by all, and we at D.G.H.S. have enjoyed many tasty dishes served in our cafeteria. Delicious and healthful meals can be obtained at reasonable prices Each day hungry students hurry to the cafeteria, anxious to buy all or part of their lunches. Three groups use the cafeteria, but the tables are found clean and trays CAFETERIA neatly stacked, due to the efficient student volunteers who work there. The D.G.H.S. eating place ”, smooth-running as it may seem, often has difficulties to overcome. High prices and meatless days were the most serious obstacles, but these have not interfered with the serving of the students’ favorite dishes. A special vote of thanks goes to the ladies who serve on the cafeteria staff. A good deal of their day goes to the baking of pies, preparation of salads and hot dishes Theirs is a hard job well done.
