Remember the times you spilled coke all over the cafeteria floor, missed the wastebasket in the lounge, or had a paper tight with old Collegians ? Not always the neatest people around, college members were lucky to have someone keeping the place in shape, and the campus custodians were a ded- icated group. The day crew arrived early, opening the school in the eerie morning hours before students filled the halls and faculty members unlocked their offices What took up a large part of their time during the first semester was cleaning the entire heating systemin the lounge. Then there were all those spur-of-the- moment emergencies. For instance, Steve Klimak came to the rescue on Thanksgiving day when the Yearbook editors had to get into the college to meet a deadline. The night custodians faced the same challenges as the day crew, including the chore of cleaning up after almost 3,000 people. Getting an interview with these men meant shouting across newly mopped floors and dodging . ,,,,s,,,..F. . ONE ROOM BECOMES FOUR.

Adding, dividing, graphing, and fac- toring are just a small sample of what was taught by the Math Department. This department offered classes for all levels of ability including such courses as Elements of Math, Statistics, and Calculus III. The secretarialand business courses brought students two-year degrees, one-year degrees, and credits for trans- ferring to a four-year college. One of the courses offered in the secretarial field, Advanced Typewriting, set up realistic office situations. The student became employed in arranging and transcribing letters, reports, and even menues and legal documents. These three departments of mathe- matics, date processing, and business worked together to provide a more comprehensive program. Skills learned in one department could often be ap- plied in another and come in handy in real-life situations. IS THIS A DEBIT OR A CREDIT?

From there they began to get ready for the mid-day rush, which often had lines extending out to the stairs. People packed in, and french fries sold out, but by 1:00 p.m. the biggest crowds were gone. With the noon crowds coming on Tuesdays and Thurs- days, which was unusual since there were no scheduled lunch breaks be- tween classes, staff members rated' this as the busiest year they can remem- ber. So, always doing their best, the Custodial, Security, and Cafeteria De- partments kept the college running in a smooth and orderly style. Sometimes their services were taken for granted, but more often their hard work could- n't help but be noticed.
