Mrs. Nelma Miller Cafeteria Manager They Are Busy All Cold lunches and hot lunches were served daily by our cooks to the students. Delicious odors of good food greeted the students as they entered the cafeteria. Our cooks worked hard to plan nutritious and nourishing menus for each day. The food was prepared as attractively as possible. Cold drinks, milk, orange iuice, candy, and other sweets were also served. For the stu- dents who enioy Mexican food, a good Mexican din- ner was served each Wednesday. This year only the downstairs cafeteria was used due to the decrease in enrollment. The cafeteria served its purpose well for the hungry students who rushed into it after third period. Long after we leave Brack- enridge we will always remember the wonderful food prepared by our cheerful cooks, and also the good times we had in our cafeteria while eating lunch. Our cafeteria cooks left to right are: Gage, Brune, Warren, Jimmie, Rossman, Goodwill, Bates, Keeling, Hare, and Miller.

P. E. AND R.O.T.C. Courses Popular With Students Before leaving Brackenridge, each student must have four terms of physical education. Students may take Purple Jackets, band, chorus or R.O.T.C. in place of physical education, if they prefer. ln physical education classes, the boys play football, baseball, basketball, track and tennis. Girls play games of softball, captain ball, ten- nis and volleyball. During one part of the semes- ter the girls learn how to keep trim with exer- cises that leave their mark of sore muscles. Girls also learn how to do folk dances. Relay races and track were added to the girls' classes which made physical education more popular. Physical education is one of the best-liked subjects be- cause of the different activities and fine teachers who spend so much of their time keeping the leaders of tomorrow in good physical condition. Miss Naylor turns on the water every day in the girls' gym Brcrving the cold, sharp R.O.T.C. Cadets listen attentively while Sgt. Hadaway gives instructions to C. Company Cadets.

iiillbdgi The ve... One group of people who deserve a lot of credit and praise here at Brackenridge are the custo- dians. Our campus and buildings are kept beauti- ful by them. Not only do they see that our rooms are properly heated and our classroom floors clean, but they also keep the halls clean, the yard looking fresh and beautiful, and repair all equipment that is broken during schooltime. Our custodians work hard throughout the years putting into each day all their strength and energy. Their iobs are iust beginning long after we are home. They start very early in the morn- ing and finish late at night. Without our worthy custodians our days would not be so happy as they are because our yards and buildings would not look as nice and clean as they do. Yes, our cus- todians deserve a vote of thanks for their work. Mr. Herman Muenchaw Head Custodian I-'rom top to bottom are the custodians: Rodriguez, Mejia, Guerra, Scott, Chandler, Riley, Gallardo, Sanchez, and Muenchow
