SUPPORT STAFF Our support staff: helping those in trouble Little do we know it but the support staff is a vital part of our school faculty. Without them who would take records of student attendance each day, clean our campus and keep it free of trash, and feed us every breakfast and lunch time with food to keep us alert and awake for class. The support staff does their job right and they back up our faculty 110 percent. The busiest office in the school can probably be the at- tendance office run by Mrs. 01- sen and Mrs. McChesney. Each day students rush in the office with absent excuses signed by their parents in order to get their PRC slip. Also late bus- es arrive with hundreds of stu- dents needing tardy slips. Sometimes the line from that office stretches for miles! The hardest part of the job is getting up in the morning and getting my feet on the floor at 6 o ' clock. But other than that it ' s really just a piece of cake, said Mrs. Catherine Olsen, atten- dance office manager. But getting things removed and put up in the school bou- tique (pointing at the ' lost and found ' area piled with lost arti- cles of clothing) is the most dif- ficult part of my job! said Mrs. McChesney, attendance office worker, in response. Most students know about or have seen Mr. Linet whizzing by in his little orange electric truck. Mr. Linet, of course, is our plant manager whose jobs and errands each day are in the dozens. But it sure beats walk- ing when you have a speedy ve- hicle to move around campus in. The truck is fantastic. It really helps a lot with the job and it makes it a lot easier for me to do things around the school, said Mr. Linet. Without food for the stu- dents, there would be chaos. Thank the cafeteria workers for doing a great job of preparing meals each day. By Loyd Calo- may. Do you have a minute? — Mr. Booker, one of the school bus drivers, helps out a student with a problem during nutrition. m Support staff Faces
