to keep the school afmmmg smoothly The meals provided by Classical's lunchroom staff are well planned and include basic requirements for growing students. Both hot and cold lunches are available, each high in nutritive value, to the students. These ladies, Ada Reel, Bernadette Cocchi, Mary 0'Connor, Lura Roger, Kathy Tarneau, Josephine Saracino, Dora Rickson, and Dorothy Shippee are responsible for our fine lunches. Pictured here, waiting to begin the lunch for the day, are two cooks, Sue Hemsworth and Lura Roger, and Mrs. Scully, a cashier. The ladies prepare meals for both the students and faculty and serve them in the lunchroom. The meals are apparently good because the line is always full. The custodians keep the school in efficient work- ing order. They repair hazards which endanger the students and their clothing. Long after the halls have been deserted by the student and faculty population, the custodians are hard at work pre'- paring tht- school for another day. Besides their regular duties, they are available during emergen- cies. The custodians were unable to have their photo- graphs taken because of their busy schedule. Mr. DuBois, shown carrying a ladder to repair an un- hinged door, was kind enough to take a moment out and pose for the photographer. These able- bodied custodians do a fine job and are much appreciated.

The litizcbroom and czzstotiittl staffs perform their tasks efficiently w.,-. V A+ Lunchtime at Classical is quite hectic as anyone of the lunc-hroorn staff can tell you. The cashiers who hrave the throng of hungry Classiealites are Doreen Gagnon, Krystine Callahan, Kathleen Callahan, Sue McCook, Linda Quintin, Emily Xvitkowsky, Carol llintr- kley, Carol Bill, Susan Stearns and Dolores Hill. Their work is well done. M Z1 k i n g change quickly keeps the milk lille moving. Here, Kathleen Callahan takes money from Leonard Talevi, while Elaine Ciak, Maureen Chernick, and Joyce lqialhos wait their turn. Cashiers vol- unteer their serxiees during the lunr-h periods and are paid a weekly appropriate wage. Their services are ap- preciated by the students. Here, Doreen Gagnon has apparently avoided the lunch- time rush, and is awaiting her change from cashier Sue Me- Cook. Most of the time the luneh line is full, and knowl- edge of the use of the cash register and of making Cliange quickly are basic skills em- ployed hy the cashiers.

QJJ ihlxu X THE WILLIAM PYNCHON MEMORIAL BUILDING The William Pynchon Memorial Building, which is the home of the Connecticut Valley Historical Society, was opened to the public in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 1', 1927. A beautiful ex- ample of colonial architecture furnished with articles of the colonial period, the building was erected in honor of William Pynchon, the founder of the city of Springfield. William Pynchon was born in Springfield, Essex, England about 1590 and came to Massachusetts in 1630. Of the leisure class, he had received a good education and legal training and came to the United States mainly for economic reasons. Pynchon settled first in Roxbury, Massachusetts where he remained until 1635 when he sailed for the Connecticut River. He purchased a strip of land from the Indians in 1636 on which he estab- lished the town of Springfield. The students of Classical can be com- pared to William Pynchon in that they are conscientious and per- severing just as he Was. On the opposite page, Linda Bailey, David Tebaldi, Phyllis Judson, Birgitte Madsen, Andrew Cokkinias, Marie Cortelli, and Jean Valenti are pictured at a recent visit to the Wil- liam Pynchon Memorial Building.
