These efficient women in the cafeteria are always ready for the pell-mell rush of the students from 11:00 to 12:30. And of course, the stu- dents are always ready for the cafeteria. Those tasty lunches are always a treat. The custodians of our school are very important people. These men work hard and long to maintain our school and to keep a clean and tidy building. The staff, headed by Mr. Charles Carr, can do everything from fixing window panes, waxing floors, sweeping classrooms, varnishing desks and sweeping the halls, to caring for the lawn and changing combinations. Though seldom seen, this group of people contributes greatly to Joplin High. MR CHARLES CARR Head Custodian and Engineer
