I-lelpirig lnaricl Although the top-notch, high level administration ran our school, it took a helping hand from everyone. It involved cooking and preparing lun- ches that served as a holdover until students were out of school and could really indulge. It involved cleaning up after the lunch breaks, also. The duties of janitors and elec- tricians were varied. From cleaning up the parking lot to fixing the thermostats that always stuck on 80 when the weather outside was swel- tering, or 40 when frost appeared. Many different kinds of secretaries worked for Parkview: library secretar- ies, office secretaries and attendance secretaries. Any student who checked in or out knew the hassles that one had to go through when leaving or entering the school. Usually, by the time a student was a senior, or sometimes a junior, he learned how to master the ropes of evading the quick tongue and sharp eyes of attendance secretaries. Of course, they only did their jobs. The most students who ever checked out on one day was in the Absolutely net! Mrs. Zona Covey tells students that schedules cannot be changed because they don't like the classes. 1975-76 school year when 600 Park- view students suddenly became de- voted basketball fans and checked out for a basketball game. That doesn't include the people that just left, said Mrs. Rachel McKinney, attendance Secretary. Typically most students check in late on Mondays and out early on Fridays. Smile.

Students were still traveling a torn-up Barrow Road, 10 years after Parkview opened. They had lived through potholes every time it rained, a new route to Markham being built, and 1 this time the land was bald as progress opened an access to the Wilbur Mills Freeway and brought PV closer to the rest of Little Ftock. In 1978, inflated prices caused more students to take jobs. Often, they used earnings to support their automobiles. Gasoline had risen from 35 cents in 1968 to 69.9 cents in 1978. Jeans which once cost only 38.98 when we were in kindergarten now ran as high as S30 a pair for the latest fashions. Dates were scarcer and people moved more in groups, possibly because a movie and hamburger outing for two was 37.50, at least. We were unique in what we were buying, 10 years after.
