More hamburgers, hot dogs, and sloppy joes were served in place of casseroles and spaghetti. Two extra lunch lines were added to the usual two in order to speed up food service and eliminate some of the rush on the students. The staff was increased from eight to ten and was under the direction of Miss Cora Torgeson. Approximate- ly 500 to 600 noon meals were served. This varied with the weather conditions, the number of meals increasing on bad days. Many other students brought bag lunches from home. The A and B lunches were continued to cut down on the rush in the cafeteria. A total of 14 high school stu- dents helped the workers in the lunch room, serving food and wiping tables. FAMISHED students join one of the three lunch lines as they pay their thirty cents and try to wait patiently for their food. 34 - Academics BEHIND THE SCENES, a staff member spotlessly wipes up food counters and tables after two hectic lunch hours. tt- fs Q We , 'Q Q 5 Z 7 , .W xg . if rrr Q , fl F 4

SPECIAL EDUCATION instructor, Mr. Robert Haskins, presents basic algebra to his pupils during a session in func- tional math. Special Education Flexibility of Program Aids Learning Process No one wants to be average, everyone wants to be above average. These kids are no different, said lVlr. Robert Haskins of his students in special education. He added that they want to succeed, too. The special educa- tion program fulfills this desire by emphasizing their skills. The purpose of the program is to prepare the class members for life in society. The pupils all have some problem that makes learning harder. Some very often excel in one area, yet have trouble in another. Therefore, a modified pace of teaching is needed to adapt to their abilities. First hour is taken up by communication skills, such as reading, spelling, and correspondence. During second hour, the girls go to home economics and lVlr. Haskins works with the boys on reading. Functional math is taught during third hour. After lunch, the boys work on art and the girls on reading. During fifth hour social stud- ies takes up their time.

l lCARPET in the assistant principaI's office is vacuumed by Roy Schroeder ll- . . . . . Sf' he begins his duties on the night shift. Custodians Care of Swimming Pool Expands Maintenance Testing the water ofthe swimming pool for chlor- ine became one of the newly-acquired jobs ofthe custo- dial staff. The addition ofthe pool also meant that the bottom of it had to be vacuumed at least once a week and the filter had to be cleaned regularly in an acid to re- move silt. The addition of more carpeted rooms also ex- panded the duties of the maintenance crew. It was their responsibility to vacuum them frequently. Of extreme importance to both students and teachers, the custodians were always willing to lend a helping hand. They were often consulted to locate lost articles of clothing and mislaid books. During the day they were seen performing their never-ending tasks of sweeping the halls, washing windows, and overall cleaning of the rooms. Lights were also seen burning well past midnight as the night shift completed their work. Excessive snow the past winter required additional labor. Although the overabundance of snow created school cancellations, the custodians returned to fulfill their obligations. EXTRA DUTIES resulting from the construction of the pool are taken in stride by the custodians. FRONT ROW: K. Myran, F. Cunningham, S. Herfindahl. SECOND ROW: F. Whiteaker, M. Drescher, H.
