students The neat, attractive appearance of our school was due to the work of W. P. Cox, director of maintenance, and his crew of workers. Scrubbing window panes, mopping floors, sweeping corridors-all made up the duties of our ianitorial staff. Who knew every inch of CHS by heart? Who could tell you which chalkboards were green, which classes had the most paper on the floor after school, and which boys wore the muddiest shoes? CHS's custodians, of course. When lights burned out, window shades refused to move, and pencil sharpeners went on the blink, CHS had a staff on the iob all day to come to our rescue. A BATCH OF DELICIOUS DESSERTS is presented for Mrs. Lipsey's approval by the kitchen staff. 22,500 pounds of meat, 4500 loaves of bread, and 9, OOO gallons of milk sound like food for an army. However, these are the approximate amounts devoured by hungry CHSers during the year in the school cafeteria. Supervised by Mrs. Rosalie Lipsey, CHS's cafeteria serves in three shifts an average of 600 people each noon. Students found special meals on their trays at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and on the last day of school. CHARLEY AND MARTIN are performing their janitorial tasks with usual effi ciency as they sweep the corridors of Bobo High. 25
