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.

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

Page twenty-seven Miss Sue Claussen joined the staff this year as the school’s first nurse. Hearing tests and tuber¬ culosis patch tests, services which had previously been the responsibility of the county public health nurses, were given in her office. It was to her office that any student who became ill during school hours was sent . . . about 465 such persons came to her with one kind of pain or another. Miss Claussen also started health charts which some day will contain each student’s complete health record from first grade through his senior year. A new assembly system, too, went into effect this year. The policy of assigning seats for assemblies, routine in most large high schools, was initiated here this year. And we noticed an improvement in the programs when junior and senior high school stu¬ dents went to separate programs. Congratulating Pruth McFarland on His wonderful singing program he presented to the student body are Carolyn Irvin and Barbara Marsh.
