Safe transportation, nutritious food, attractive atmosphere were possible through efforts of conscientious personnel Business administrator Mr. Laurence Cramer explains ne- cessity of checking bus tires, at regular intervals in order to prevent unnecessary accidents, to school bus drivers William Robinson, Ralph Reeder, Vernon Gabbard, Raymond Nunn, Howard Storer, Mr. Cramer, Samuel Shiprak, Frank Jones, With the initiation of a new cafeteria program -many changes were made this year. Enlarged to twice its former size, the cafeteria offered an additional serving line, larger kitchen facil- ities, and a private dining area for CHS faculty members. Students were given the opportunity to select a standard plate lunch or choose a variety of foods as a new Ez la carte system was instituted in September. Lunch schedules ran smoothly as three thirty-minute lunch periods were initiated to replace the former practice of dis- missing classes at three-minute intervals. Music was played over the public address system, providing a relaxed atmosphere in which students could eat -and socialize during their lunch pe- riods. A combination of these improvements made lunch time a pleasant experience at Centerville High School. Many CHS students failed to realize the amount of work in- volved in keeping their school neat and in good condition. Cus- todians worked constantly in order to make the school environ- ment clean and attractive through all seasons of the year. Their many duties consisted of setting up chairs for assemblies, making repairs, cleaning classrooms, mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, washing windows, and performing any other jobs that arose. Under the supervision of Mr. Laurence Cramer, business ad- ministrator, township buses were kept on schedule enabling students to arrive at school on time. Buses ran regularly regard- less of rain, snow, or sleet. Bus drivers transported Coeds, band members, and teams to away games. They also drove students to workshops and on field trips. Their duties were varied and they were always on hand when help was needed. Jr., Stanley Ritter, Vernon Brown, Frances Hagens, and Gladys Hosket.
