□ Masters of paperwork Office secretaries started the new year with typewriters ciicicing and phones ring- ing. Mrs. Jean Rhodes, the only new mem- ber of the secretarial staff, replaced Mrs. Rosalie Grove as a teacher aide in the duplicating room. Mrs. Grove transferred to the Reading Lab to assist Mrs. Karjala. In their spare time, most of the secre- taries enjoyed sewing. Other hobbies in- cluded reading and gardening. Mrs. Anna Cook golfed in her spare time. Mrs. Jackie Foust didn ' t find time for hobbies, as she was working toward her Masters Degree at Bail State. Mrs. Anita McCardle thought the best thing about working at BHS is that the Athletic Department nev- er had a dull moment. Coffee Time, a welcome break in the day, left time for Mrs. Vincent to brag about her grandchildren, Jenny, Tammy and Caleb, and for Mrs. Foust to remi- nisce about her summer trip to Florida. On break, Mrs. Ruth Pointus, assistant nurse, Mrs. Foust and Mrs. Grove examine art objects on display in tlie cafeteria hallway. Mrs. Anna Cook works on the paperwork that is sometimes required in the bookstore, where she ban- dies school funds. Secretaries 115

Service ' was their labe Thirty-five often forgotten behind-the- scenes persons comprising three groups of service personnel guarantee that the 1200 students will live in a clean building, eat a balanced diet for lunch, and get to and from school without walking the route. The nine custodians included three women and six men working on three shifts. Their headquarters was a small room on the southwest side of the building where their phone frequently rang to alert them to plugged up restroom drains, cold rooms or defective electrical appliances. Eight men and three women bus drivers maneuvered their yellow birds to pick up students twice daily. A few of them also managed to devote evenings and Satur- days to hauling special school groups. Eating in three shifts during the one and one-half hour lunch period, students passed before 16 cooks who smilingly dis- pensed their calories in the form of A lunches. Statiscally, their best month was September, when they served 21,288 lunches, given out in three separate lines depending on the appetite of the student.
