81 fCustodians-Cafeteria-Groundskeeper Maintenance Crew, Cafeteria Staff Serve School We're responsible for the building, said Head Custodian Don Reed, the whole thing - its maintenance, its cleanliness and its availability for any- thing. Mr. Reed supervised eight fulltime people who worked on an almost 365 day basis. Not only were they in charge of keeping the school clean during the year, but also were in charge of the building during the summer, when all furniture was scrubbed and repaired and all equipment and facilities were inspected. Having worked at Heights for six years, Reed said that the biggest prob- lem was vandalism, particularly in the rest room. However, each year it gets a little better. I think it's a change in the students themselves, concluded Reed. We just do our best to please the students because that's what we're re- sponsible for,', claimed Mrs. Alberta Thompson, Cafeteria Manager. The cafeteria staff consisted of thirteen peo- ple, plus seven student workers during lunch period. Thompson stated that stu- dent input about what they like and dislike was always appreciated and that the more students that ate on campus, the lower the food costs would be. Gen- erally, the cafeteria served 2,288 stu- dents and 214 faculty members per week. The school grounds were the respon- sibility of Mr. Jim Upchurch and his assistants. His, too, was a full-year's job, and because of his efforts, Heights has a reputation for having the most beautiful high school grounds in the city. 2 re.. dwg Q 5 rfffmrwfnm w

83fBusiness-DECA BECK DECA Attends May Conferenceg Maintains Upkeep Of Bookstore The Business Department taught skills ranging from typing and short- hand to personal finance management and the use of business machines. Though many students entered the Business Department with their eyes on particular business skills, some merely desired more skill at typing for school or more knowledge for future financial management. The Distributive Education Club of America CDECAJ planned a busy schedule to send their students to Washington during May. DECA was organized to develop leadership in stu- dents and to help students gain confi- dence in the field of business. DECA members, sponsored by Mr. Jim Ed- wards, in order to qualify for the Wash- ington convention, had to keep up their grades, perform well in state contests and pass a test. Also, they had to raise money, mostly by selling sponges and other items. BUSINESS FACULTY First Row: Mr. Keith Wilson, Ms. Pam Baker. Second Row: Mrs. Jill Bostwick, Mr. Jim Edwards.
