Blackford bus drivers transport students to and from school each day. This year more rode the buses to conserve gasoline. Service 24 hour effort There is always food to be cooked, towels to be washed, and students to be transported back to their homes or bus stops. These are the jobs of the service personnel. Preparing lunches for approxi- mately 900 people is a job done by the cafeteria cooks. Lunches contin- ued to be served in smorgasbord fashion. This started at the end of ' 79 and carried over to this past year. Sweeping the floors, washing the windows and cleaning the restrooms are just some of the jobs of the custo- dians. Cleaning BHS is a twenty- four hour job, there is always some- one here throughout the day — and night. Through, rain, sleet, and snow, the bus drivers are on the go. The job of transporting students to and from school safely is their job. A new fea- ture this year was a shuttle bus. The bus left the school at 5:30 p.m. and took students to Hartford City and Montpelier. Although there was a fee of 25c per trip, it was cheaper than buying gas for a car to make the trip. 98 Service Personnel

It is a constant tone of ringing tele- phones, clicking typewriters, and di- rect instructions. One may underestimate their im- portance in making the school func- tion. If it wasn ' t for them and their work where would we be??? They see that everything is in order, that papers are typed and filed, and many, many, other things are done.
