Office Staff — All thanks go to the secretaries for so capably running our busy office. Yet, they always have time to listen to an excuse for being late, to find a lost book, and to help a bewildered student. Aside from managing all the school’s records, they help keep each class’s funds in order. What would we ever do without these willing workers? Cafeteria Staff — These busy ladies have been endowed with superb knowledge of the culinary arts. They capably run the most inviting area of the school, the cafeteria. Their well-balanced meals, served economically, tempt our ravenous apatites. Custodial Staff — All credit for our school’s fine appearance go to these people who perform their job “above and beyond the call of duty.” They are never too busy to open a locked locker, find a lost sneaker, or help us locate Rock Rivalry props. Mrs. Lattari, our matron, has been a real friend. Our endless thanks go to these fine people. 20
