A dishwasher equips the cafeteria with automatic washing and sterilizing. During study hall or a free period students assist in office work and run errands. These workers deliver notices containing announce- ments of the day and an absentee list. A first period worker collects absentee slips and takes the lunch count to the cafeteria. The first period absentee list is checked against the homeroom absentee list. Both adults and students drive school buses. These drivers must be qualified drivers and good disciplinarians. Student bus drivers are excused five minutes early each afternoon to bring the buses to the front of the building.

Both are ready to fix any break- downs in classroom equipment during the day. For several years the cafeteria workers have prepared the food for the Colonnade and Pepergram banquets. The cafeteria is used as a classroom several periods during the day, and clubs hold dances there on Friday nights. Students took SCAT and STEP tests in the cafeteria because of the space needed.
