Custodian! roamed and Cleaned Winter snows brought out the custodians and their tractors, forced to venture outside to clear the road for the lousses. 16 as they were Fed and Fattened The most unobtrusive sections of the school ad- ministration were the custodial and cooking stalls. What with the ultra-modern, employees-only kit- chen, and the several unmarked doors frequented by custodians only, the custodians and the cooks were also the most mysterious staPf members. The cooks were seen only when serving food in the cafeterias, as they spent the rest of their time pre- paring food, cleaning up, or designing menus in the privacy of their recluse, the kitchen. The cus- todial stall made their appearances en masse only after the students had left the building. Then they produced the brooms and cleaning compounds necessary to remove the traces of the studentryis presence. Thus, during the day students rarely saw either the custodians or the cooks, as they spent their daylight hours in an unostentatious, if somewhat mystic, manner.

Studentry Scheduled Into New System With Aid of Mr. Coller One of the most important occurrences of the year was the visitation by the North Central committee and their recommendation for the approval of the curriculum and activities offered by Adlai Stevenson High School. Accreditation by the committee will assure students that grad- uating from Stevenson is considered an ac- complishment not only by themselves but by anyone who considers high school records. lnvolved in the preparation for accreditation were all three assistant principals. Their assist- ance in setting objectives and standards is in- strumental in securing the final approval of the organization. The prior work done to assure the smooth implementation of modular scheduling was considered indicative of the innovative atti- tude necessary to the maintenance of an effective educational institution. Attendance Procedure Maintained Through Mrs. Bentley's Office As students received their schedules for the modular scheduling at the beginning of the year, few were aware of the preparation required to produce these slips of paper. Some of the credit must go to Mr. Coller for seeing that a minimal number of class con- flicts resulted. When it is remembered that approxi- mately 2,200 students had to be sent to the right place with the right teacher at the right time without having to drop requested subjects, it is a tribute to the organi- zational talents of the administration that so few con- Hicts appeared. The Board OH-ice's computer was put to good use organizing the system. The Hexibility offered by the machine allowed periodic sessions of free time during which students could study. 15 1
