Walter Russell Benjamin B. Koch Edward Wagenfeldt “EFFICIENCY PLUS!” Long before the doors are open to pupils the janitor has been discharging his manifold duties. Early in the afternoon his broom begins to swish busily along corridors and later through empty rooms. Often the sound ceases for a moment while the worker stoops to pick up waste paper and other articles. Soon the furnace needs attention. Also, there are the thousand and one unexpected tasks in a day’s work. The routine is the same for every janitor, and the hours are long. Throughout the school day he must be at the beck and call of everyone. It is with sincere regret that we part with Mr. Russell. His cheerful countenance and pleasing personality have been a genuine asset to the school. We hope to keep Mr. Koch with us indefinitely. His sterling integrity has a marked influence for good, particularly among the boys. He is a friend to all. Most of us, too, have been happy in our acquaintance with Mr. Wagenfeldt, a kindly, patient man. Page Nineteen

Mrs. Davis Mrs. Jewell “CULINARY ART!” A signal rings. A crowd of hungry boys and girls hasten to the lunch rooms and cafeteria. Some of them get only an ice cream cone in the cafeteria, while others buy a “square meal.” All of them demand service, which they get from our capable cooks, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Jewell. The former has been with us a number of years, and the latter three years. We who frequent the cafeteria admire both these ladies. It is no trival task to prepare appetizing meats, vegetables, salads, and desserts five days in the week for finical youths and lasses. They expect variety and quality. In addition to getting ready what the menu requires, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Jewell serve all the cooked foods. Their neat, attractive appearance and pleasant manner have established an agreeable relationship with the students. We feel confident of their ability to satisfy critical tastes in eating.
