Cheerful, cooperative, .ind .imbitious well characterize the em- ployees of the Taft Union Hii;h School District. All these employees who are engaged in office work, gardening, bus driving, building main- tenance, cooking and building supervision are intimately connected with the school, its welfare and activities. Many workers in the cafeteria, such as Mrs. Helen Ritenour, super- visor of the cafeteria, have been successfully serving Taft Union High School for many years. Mrs. Ritenour ' s splendid reputation causes a stampede to the domestic science building at 12:05 on each and every school day. Here the cafeteria staff has quantities of delicious food. During this 1958-39 school year cafeteria prices have been reduced and students enjoy filling the benches at unusually low prices. An important unit in any establishment is the bookkeeping staff. Headed by T. C. Sutliff, assisted by Miss Zella Vaughan and Miss Annie Brown, this group has in its hands the pecuniary affairs of the Taft High District. Not the least of their problems is receiving the numerous students who come to the basement room to buy bus tickets for out-of-town athletic events, and to pay breakage and supply bills. Perhaps the staff ' s most trying days are check-out days, when all the students must pay all debts with this department before being granted clear- The secretaries of the schools ad- ministrators are confronted not only with doing their prescribed office work JFEICIALS AND ASSISTANTS —Second row: H.
