Well Done A fortunate school is one which h.is in its employ workers who are capable ' .ili.i of effectively carrying out the rcspon- itliff, sible duties assigned them.

Well kept grounds and buildings add greatly to the dignity of any school and Taft can be justly proud of its custodian staff which is re- sponsible for creating a favorable impression of our school and its cam- pus.
