Custodians Keep Conditions Correct When the students feel the warmth from tlie radiators, admire the newly polished floors, or have the building opened to tliem for evening parties, they are witnessing examples of the custodians ' work. Much work is required to keep a building the size of DeVilbiss warm. Because the custodians at- tend faithfully to this job of maintaining heat, the school ' s occujtants have little cause to complain. Always, there is a need for repair jobs about the school. The maintenance workers are often found repairing lockers or replacing and repairing classroom equipment. Besides these occasional jobs, there is the daily job of giving the school a general cleaning. Perhaps the most appreciated job of the cus- todians who are under Mr. Robinson ' s supervision is the opening of the school for late afternoon and evening dances, auditorium programs, and other extra activities.

Food Feeds the Famished With the sounding of the lunch bell, the halls are filled with students who are eagerly rushing to the cafeteria. During an average day, more than 2,000 students eat in the cafeteria in the five lunch periods between 10:40 and 1:15. Few students stop to consider the magnitude of the job that confronts Mrs. Hayes, head dietician, and lier staff of women and student workers each day. When the classes begin at nine o ' clock, the cafeteria staff has already been working for more than an hour. After the last lunch period, the staff members eat their lunches and then must put the cafeteria in readiness for the next day. Mrs. Hayes ' job of planning and preparing well-balanced, nourishing meals has been made in- creasingly difficult by food shortages and high prices. It is a problem for her to continue to serve the excellent food to which the students are accus- tomed, and still to stay within the budget.

Dimmed Lights In Memoriam Louis J. Mathias, Jr. Nelle F. Anderson In the seventeen years of DeVilbiss, the per- sonality of Louis J. Mathias, Jr., has permeated in a unique way our educational program. His belief in the potentialities of youth was based on faith in their willingness to work to achieve a rich, abundant life. Through the appli- cation of creative imagination, courage, and an ad- herence to a strict code of dynamic living, he devel- oped leadership inspiring to pupils and teachers alike. Our student government, our DeViltries, our athletic program, our scholastic achievements bring constant memories of the consecration of Louis Ma- thias to our school. Dignified in stature and in mind, Mrs. Ander- son carefully and conscientiously guided her stu- dents. As she had learned in her own life to act and live from a philosophy of fundamental hon- esty and wholesomeness, so she pointed a similar path to those she instructed. Honest in thought, courageous in action, uncom- promising for the sake of expediencv, she herself set an example of the principles she tauglit. Those who knew and loved her will find her death has created a lonesome place in the class- rooms and halls of DeVilbiss; in the minds and hearts of her family and friends. IS
