Mrs. Buckley types the stencil for a closing report between answering the phone, giving lunch tickets, and performing multifarious other duties as secretary to the principal. Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Plummer check an item in the budget as secretaries to Mr. Holland, the Superin- tendent of Schools. Students get a chance to help Mrs. Buckley in the office with some of the many duties she is asked to take care of daily. Here, Stan Marino checks John Cowing's transfer slip as he heads for class. Mrs. Mary Pollard, our school nurse, a graduate of Malden Hos- pital, checks the height, weight, eyes, and ears of all students and is always ready to help if a student becomes sick during the day. 16

A unique feature of Bellows Falls High is its stu- dent janitor force, headed by custodian Dan Brown, and his assistant Robert Trombley. By working a few hours each week, boys are able to earn extra money, not to mention valuable work experience. Dan Brown, who has been with the school sjnce the thirties, and now is chief custodian, directs his staff through the year-round tasks of sweeping, board cleaning, basket emptying, painting, mop- ping, waxing, dusting, carrying, window washing, and swirling (a new form of coffee break). Dan is an avid reader. He is famous for his sense of humor and humorous expressions. If you ask him about his job, Dan will tell you that he is a main- tenance engineer graduated from Cold River Custodial Institute. JANITORS - LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Trombley, R. Kilburn, J. Barrett, W. Mellish, D. Rogers, and A. Reed. Dan Brown, B.F.'s intellectual custodian, reads his New York Times during a coffee break. Mary Gray and Polly McPhee, capable cooks in our cafeteria, dish out another plateful for the next in line.
