C.P.H.S.’ers with free time may work as hall monitors, switchboard operators, or library assistants. The duties of the hall monitor are many. Among his most important are collecting the absence slips at the beginning of the period, checking the pass of everyone in the halls, and directing visitors. The switchboard was added to the office just this year. It controls eight phones in the school plant. The main requirement here is a pleasant voice. The student librarians received credit for their work for the first time this year when a course of study was added to the duties. Working hard at one of his many duties as hall monitor is senior Dave Weiss. Two big helps to the faculty and students are the student librarians and the switchboard operators. Hard at work at their jobs are Pat Kucia and Martha Gerdt. Page twenty-five

...‘J1 en a J ell. . . Z fttendc r By bus, car, or foot — Sandra Douglas, Nancy Blanchard, Christine Hershman, Willie and Mary Lou Frcderixon, Edith Nichols, Lowell Meyer, and Jim Barry make their way to C. P. H. S. About S50 C.P-.H.S.’ers live in the country and ride a bus to school. Some leave home as early as 6:40 a. m. and busses start arriving at school at 7:10. Hundreds of other students come in cars and still more walk. Some begin their day at C.P.H.S. a little past seven, others not until a minute before eight — and sometimes a minute after eight, which means an admit from the office . . . sometimes. Some of us got new lockers this year; many of our old lockers had new locks, they all had new combinations. A locker is the first place we go in the morning, the last place we go in the afternoon. A locker is the private little home of each student. Like a home, it’s a gathering place for friends. Like a home, it holds many of the little treasures we collect in the course of our year at the Hub . . . a picture that could never be replaced ... a worn- out mirror . . . your only A” economics test . . . Meeting at their lockers between classes these seniors get in a bit of news before rushing off to their next class. Page twenty-four

I’ll have some of that, please,” says Chris Aiken as students wait in line for dinner. JVe w Services to School After a year of dry lunches eaten in old familiar classrooms, C.P.H.S.’ers enthusiastically welcomed the opening of the new cafeteria last October. Mrs. Faye Spiece, cafeteria manager, with the help of the four cooks, planned the meals served there daily, and 25 students helped serve and clean up after about 275 students who took advantage of the new service. The cafeteria, located in the old shop area, cost $15,000 for remodeling and equipping, but, after a taste of the barbeques ... or the tallerine ... or the occasional turkey . . . C.P.H.S.’ers agreed the money was well spent. Another first” this year came in the form of the new bookstore, which opened in a little cubby¬ hole” across from the biology room. In previous years the bookstore had been open only at the beginning of each semester . . . for the purpose of selling books only. This year we bought pencils, paper, athletic tickets, and every other school need there. Page twenty-six Whenever students run out of pencils, paper, erasers, etc., the school bookstore is always conveniently at hand. Here Sue Traylor, Irene Fisher, and Joan Misek make some impor-
