OUR BUILDING FORCE THE building force might well be called the unsung heroes of Austin High. Their task is a gigantic one, and they get all our m-il- lion dollar high school looking like a mil- lion dollars. NVith the coming of the grades from the Franklin School, extra duties have been thrust upon the building force. Even with this added work, the engineers have been able to cope with the situation in the same eflicient manner. Custodian engineers have many responsibilities, but their fine character and loyalty are always outstanding. The chief engineer is Arthur E. Christ- gau. He has held this position for nine years. He is superintendent of the grounds and building and custodian of supplies. He has nine custodian engineers as assistants. Cus- todian-in-charge is Edward Mithuen. He has charge of supplies and the high school sales room. Arthur Johnson is operating engineer. He has charge of ventilation, gas and plumb- ing, heating and air-conditioning systems. Fred Augustin is night fireman and watches over the building while the rest sleep. Frank Brechtil has charge of the lawns and keeps the shrubbery trimmed. He and Adolph Lyndell are daytime engineers, and have EVER ready to be of assist- ance to students and teach- ers is Arthur Art Christgau, superintendent of buildings and grounds of the Austin public schools. Mr. Christgau has proved himself to be a friend. to every boy and girl in the school system. ARTHUR E . CHRISTGAU proved themselves invaluable to everyone as general handy-men in all undertakings of the various departments. They have a large assignment in keeping the corridors clean and caring for the classrooms. Gilbert M. Her- manson and Harold Allen have charge of the cafeteria and noon activity rooms. Mr. Allen has charge of the gym towels. William Hun- gerford has charge of the Central High grades. He does all the work connected with these classrooms. He is very eflicient in this position due to long years of experience of grade school maintenance in the Franklin School. Otto Tollerud, construction en- gineer, has charge of all dramatic productions during the year. He repairs all woodwork needing attention in the whole school sys- tem. Mr. Tollerud also constructs all furni- ture and book-cases in the classrooms. An outstanding piece of his skillful work is the museum case on the main floor. These are but some of the duties of the building force. All the things they do to preserve the health and insure the safety of our student body are too numerous to men- tion. The school system needs these men who devote their time to helping run the school in an efficient manner. FIRST ROW- :Arthur Chrislgau, Gilbert Hermnnson, Fred Augustin.
