Dedicated Staff Serves High School Well Under the direction of Mrs. Hilda Moffitt, the Chapel Hill Senior High School cafeteria staff prepares meals which daily fortify a large per cent of the student body. Besides these usual duties, the staff is also in charge of the various banquets and dinners held by school organizations throughout the year. Examples of this are the D. E. Bosses Banquet and the Jr. -Sr. Dinner. Another vital institution at CHSHS is the janitorial staff including Big and Little Thomas and Pauline Ed¬ wards. Although they keep busy cleaning up after 750 students, the Thomases are ever-ready with a hammer, a ladder, or a smile, to lend a helping hand with any problem which should arise. The bus drivers awake each morning before the sun is up to drive a total of 250 miles. They are the sole means of transportation to and from school for many students in all levels of the Chapel Hill School System. Custodians: Thomas Morrow, Pauline Edwards, and Thomas Pendergraft. Kitchen Assistants: Wilson Hackney, Anna Belle Lloyd, Maude Holloway, Manager, Voncile Alford, Mary Perry. Bus Drivers: Herman Holman, Larry Nunn, Robert Horne, Mike Pendergraft, Chris Dressier, Joan Clark, Raymond Scott, Charles Street, and Stanley Vickers. 19

Community Promotes School Activities Office assistants are students who give up their study hall to act as receptionists in the principal ' s office. Here they sort mail, answer the telephone, check atten¬ dance cards, and write excuses for other students. Ginger Kinney, who handles all secretarial work, supervises this group. The PTSA has foregone all major projects in order to concentrate on the construction of the new high school. Annually this organization holds a parent ' s night at the high school during which the parents come and follow the schedules of their sons and daughters. This allows them to meet the teachers whom their children will be working with for the coming year. The Thrift Shop, run by the PTSA, finances many of the association ' s projects. The School Board consists of representatives elected from Chapel Hill and Carrboro. The Board is responsible for all the major policy decisions concerning the Chapel Hill Schools. Currently, the Board is concerned with outlining the facilities of the new high school. Office Assistants: Lynn Slome, Kai Thomas, Carolyn Brafford, Peggy Wheeler, Lynette Buckner, Gayle Hardee, and Nita Wilcox. PTSA sponsors local Thrift Shop. 18

Club Advisor, Student Faculty Review Board Miss Jesse Belle Lewis World Literature, English IV, Senior Class Advisor Mrs. Kendrick confers with a student on some notes for a paper. Chapel Hill Senior High School places definite em phasis on the appreciation and understanding of English grammar and literature. Sophomores study The Pearl , and Julius Caesar, while also reviewing and enriching their knowledge of grammar. Through records and individual participation, the realm of poetry opens to the student. In the junior year, the study involves only American literature and its development from its beginning until modem times. Read by all juniors, The Scarlet Letter , Moby Dick , and A Separate Peace represent phases in the above de- velopment. Also an important part of American litera¬ ture is drama, studied in the form of such plays as The Crucible, JB, and The Glass Menagerie. Senior English encompasses a grammar review and structural linguistics, the most outstanding literature of the British from Beowulf to the twentieth century, and precis writing. Required also for seniors is a term paper on an approved subject.
