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.

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
