CHIEF GROUND MECHANIC Mr. Ebbn Martin, chief engineer, has been at Central for three years. Previous to coming to Central, he was employed at Margaret Fuller School. As chief engineer he held a very important position in the school and was responsible for taking care of all the mechanical equipment and supervising the thirteen janitors. He was very well liked by all of his men, and the janitorial stall ran smoothly under his supervision. Living at 4224 Twenty-seventh Avenue, the father of live children, two hoys and three girls, Mr. Martin was occupied with his family outside of his engineering work at Cent al. As a hobby, he had a special liking for golf. AT THE CONTROLS Of all employees at Central the janitors made the headlines more than anyone else this year. Promising to call a strike for full pay and increases following the Christmas vacation, the janitors through their representatives finally reached Governor Stassen, whose plan for full pay was adopted by the Hoard of Education. To the joy (?) of we wonder how many, school opened as usual. Promising full pay to the janitors resulted in the Hoard’s offering full pay to the teachers for the first time in ten years. At Central the thirteen janitors did a good job of servicing the needs of the school for heat, ventilating, and cleanliness. Each man was assigned to one floor or particular type of work such as firing boilers, and by cooperation everyone was kept comfortable. Mrs. Opitz. the janitress, served faithfully in the care of the girls’ rest rooms, drinking fountains, and the offices. Top row: Mr. Owen Hammerstad, Mr. Swen Hult-man. Mr. Ehen Martin.

KEEP 'EM FRy NG This year because of surplus foot! products and to encourage better balanced meals, ten cent lunches were included in the regular foot! program. This meant careful planning of wholesome food as well as extra work for the cooks. Under the supervision of Miss Ina Wald, six cooks (two regulars, two helpers, and two WPA). prepared the food, each having a definite job for which she was responsible. On the average, 700 to 900 lunches were served daily; this included the sales of ice cream and candy. The ten cent lunches, separate from those regular lunches, averaged between 75 and 115 daily. Left to right: Min Lila White. Miss Ina Wald, Miss Mildred Carlstand. Mrs. Marie Ellis. Mrs. Manson, Mrs. Love!.
