Accepting the most sordid side of working in a high school cafeteria, these cooks scrape, separate, and stack dirty dishes and silverware. Cooks, Janitors Care About Student Activities Indispensable services were performed by the cooks and maintenance department members everyday to make Central function smoothly. By eight o'clock each morning. Central's cooks filled the basement corridors with tantalizing odors of baking pies and cookies for the four lunch periods. Always friendly toward students, these ladies did their best to please the entire student body. “Brownie Day” was their own in- novation-created especially for high schoolers every' Friday. Some cooks even refrigerated cans of Sego for girls on diets. “Helpful” seemed to be an appropriate adjective for the custodial staff. While the janitors had specific jobs of keeping Central grounds neat and trimmed, shoveling snow and ice, replacing broken windows, sweeping hall, classroom, and study hall floors, they were anxious to do more for the students and clubs at Central. One played Santa Claus at the annual GRA Christmas party for his second year. Others helped with dance and assembly props —constructing arches, bridges, and thrones, as well as lighting for Natare shows in May. The janitors were very- much caught up with Central activities and spirit, for many- attended athletic events at even away games. The Central maintenance department lends crcpc-papcr Impy a helping hand in keeping the halls and classroom immaculate. 259
