OFFICE PERSONNEL, SCHOOL NURSE PERFORM TASKS CHEERFULLY Principals, teachers, and students all know that the services of the office per- sonnel (pictured on opposite page) are indispensable to smooth operation of our school. Among the multiple duties performed by the capable office staff are handling of correspondence and teachers' records, requisitioning materials, keeping records of student achievement and attendance, preparing transcripts for college-bound seniors, sorting mail, making announcements, and typing notices. Physical fitness plays an important role in student achievement and adjustment. The school nurse serves a vital function in the health program by helping to de- tect those students who may be either physically or mentally ill. Daily tasks of the school nurse include bandaging scratches and wounds, giving out headache sticks, and issuing sick- leave permits. Perhaps her most potent medicines are kindness and sympathy which she prescribes in large doses for those ill at heart. Mrs. L. B. Holloway, school nurse, discovers that even brawny athletes are sometimes ill.

COMFORTABLE CLIMATE, GOOD MEALS MAKE LEARNING ENJOYABLE When the days were cold last winter, were the classrooms cold? Of coursenot. At the controls of the furnace were men without whom we would have frozen. Hard working and good natured, they are responsible for the disappearance of paper that misses the waste basket, and the mirror-polished floors that greet us after each vacation.

Our cafeteria, operating under a central- ized lunch program and managed by Mrs. East, serves about 450 meals daily. One baker, three cooks, three helpers, one cashier, and student employees comprise the staff. Pictured at left are preparations for bar-be-cue, bar-be-cue buns, anda tempting dessert. A la carte distinguishes the high school menu from that of the ele- mentary school.
