Do you think the maintenance staff of the school is doing the best iob? Why? Yes for the help that we have. Everyone is doing their share of duties and still helping others. Mr. Steelman Yes I do. Well we are shorthanded now and everyone is having more area to do than the time permitted. Ms. Dewitt Yes, considering that we have a small staff. I think they're doing the best job they can. Taking care of such a big school is a huge responsibility, and it's not iust up to the custodians to do it, but the students should do their share of taking care of the school.

Working on complicated club budgets, Activities secretary Sandy Simmons wonders if she'll ever catch up with the books. Student services helped the system to run smoother. Activities Office, Career Center, ROP, and secretaries supported the framework of MHS. New changes took course in the Activities Office. With the retirement of Activities Director Don King and the resignation of Activities Secretary Doris Misner, MHS Student Body was left in mass confusion at the beginning of the year. Coming from Needles, California, Mr. Bernie Rechs was hired two weeks before school began. Combined jobs of Activities Director and Athletics Director made his job time consuming, requiring counting large amounts of money, scheduling games, budgeting sports funds, and attending all activities and sports events. When asked how he felt stepping into Mr. King's shoes, Mr. Rechs said, lt's really difficult to fill in for a person like Don King because of his long experience and relationship with the student body. I just hope that after I'm here for the same length of time, l'll be able to do as good a iob as he did. While Activities Office was changing personnel, the Career and ROP Centers were changing rooms. A larger combined room made it possible to display more information and inform larger groups at one time. For the graduates thinking about what college to attend, the Career Center supplied all the necessary catalogs and additional information. More guest speakers from the area knitted MHS closer to the community.

QW xx 1 Working o o dullngcemtly, custodians, cooks, and bus drivers tried to keep the school in tip-top working order. Even with the shortage of manpower, these people did a good iob to keep MHS's efficiency running smoothly. Functioning with a smaller maintenance staff, custodians were assigned a larger area to cover. New buildings meant new cleaning techniques. The new gymnasium needed to be swept twice a week, and the locker rooms required vacuuming daily. Agriculture also added a new building, and that meant 5,000 more square feet of cleaning. Because the cafeteria moved to the new Student Center in the spring of 1976, the cooks had time to organize for this school year. With everything in place, the cooks were all ready to feed MHS students. New eating facilities and a larger variety in lunches increased student purchases of box lunches, Class A lunches, and the a la carte lunches. a lias Mil
