Staff Renders Seven-Fold Services Tuning up the snowplow for the wintry season ahead, Stanley Taylor takes a trial run to make sure the machine is running properly. Neither snow, rain, nor hail stopped Stan from doing his job. Highly efficient and well-organized, the team of Helen Rezek, Marieann Shalon, and Bertie Novacek cooked up many a nutritious lunch. Joe Orduna takes time out to score a touchdown with the ladies. Essential services were rendered in seven-fold meas- ures by an industrious staff. A most efficient custodian, Mr. Stanley Taylor, buffed floors and glass to high-gloss shines. His duties were many, but his manner of doing them proved to be as polished as the floors. Aromas of homemade bread and cinnamon rolls floated out of the kitchen to tempt anxious students to eat early. In the kitchen Mrs. Rezek and her helpers pre- pared a variety of menus de- signed to keep students’ calo- rie count high. Outside the cafeteria, bus drivers Carl Jelinek, Ken Hor- nung, and A1 Shanahan did their job with the required patience and a spare smile.

Variety Is The Spice Of Assemblies Father Patrick O’Byrne speaks about the four warning signs of alcoholism at February's assembly. Seasoned with a variety of educational and entertainingprograms, 1971’s assembly schedule included a performance from Doane College Concert Band, a wild confrontation with an exciting singing group from Fremont Bergan, and religious and lay speakers communicating their ideas about driver safety, alcoholism, politics, and Jesus Christ. Highlighting the assembly schedule, the newly initiated Fall Follies was a big smash with the students, giving them a chance to show off their skills in fierce but frolicsome competition for a home- made trophy. These monthly assemblies were sponsored by the School Council, which worked diligently for many hours to provide the most bene- ficial diversion to spice up the curriculum. God and college football meet in the person of Joe Orduna, guest speaker for September’s assembly. Joe, a University of Nebraska halfback, speaks of his relationship with God. keeping students spellbound for sixty minutes. 27
