Engineer lLeft to Rightj Raymond Harris, Norman Miller, Luther Rose, Leroy Blackburn. Without the four kind gentlemen we see above, it is safe to say that school could not exist in our institution. Just as an airport neces- sitates its ground crews we could not be with- out our engineers. This is the importance of the role they play everyday of our school year. These four gentlemen are always ready and willing to give their assistance as it may be needed. They are often called upon to quickly mend a piece of broken furniture or fix a broken window shade. They may also be seen replac- ing light bulbs, or kindly lending a tool to someone in need of it. But their work isn't all that simple, for instance, they must clean our auditorium everyday after lunch, and keep every room on three floors spotless, which takes many long hours of sweeping, scrubbing and polish- ing. Many tasks often taken for granted by us are never overlooked by our engineers. As in- portant as a clean and smooth landing field is the lawn and exterior of our building. ln summer, our lawn must be mowed several times a week, to give it a smooth, clean appearance. ln the fall and winter of the year the sidewalk must be kept free from snow and ice to assure the students of reaching their destination safely. Another strenuous and tedious assignment is washing many hundreds of window panes to provide a maximum amount of light for the students. When a play, concert, banquet, or other evening entertainment is held at B. H. S., you may be sure that one of our faithful engineers is on duty. lt is his responsibility to see that all the lights are out and the doors are locked. At lunch time one or several of our engine- ers may be seen busily hustling about replenish- ing the supply of cold milk or furnishing a cart on which we may place our tray. All in all, may we say that your job is one of the most important in our school and that the Echo wishes to take this opportunity to salute you. Hats off, for a job well done. M17,
