Paper airplanes! Broken windows! Twenty foot ex- tension cords! Thus our JANITORS are kept busy with a thousand and one important duties from the moment they appear on the job about 5:00 a.m. until their day is completed, some- times as late as 10:00 p.m. In addition to their regular duties, the janitors take time to show some freshman how to open his locker, to repair an extension cord for the home economics de- partment, or to rescue a stray dog from one of the classrooms. Our janitors are never idle for a single moment. Besides being an expert at the wheel. BUS DRIVERS need to be deaf in order to put up with the constant chatter. shouting, and sing- ing of the students, and need the patience of job to cope with the many other problems which arise. Furthermore, the bus drivers are always on hand to take the pep club to an out-of-town ball game, the band to a parade, or to furnish transportation for any other school activity. There are two groups of students who per- form an invaluable service to the school, the gate crew and the usher corps. The GATE CREW, managed by Mr. Kirk- man, is always the first to arrive and the last to leave the football and basketball games. Even in the coldest weather. they sell and col- lect tickets, hand out programs, and watch for any back-fence climbers. At least four students and three teachers serve on the gate crew at each game. The work done by the students is voluntary. Not only do they work without pay, but they also miss seeing the ball games. most precious cargo. From the jovial expression on their faces, they seem to enjoy their task. if' A Q if -ll!

Every school system needs a capable s u p at r i n t en d e n t and Mr. Wiemer is a person who gets things done and enjoys doing them. He is known through- out the school as being a stickler for accuracy. Perhaps his sense of humor has had much to do with his success as an administrator. Mr. Wiemer came to us as a teacher in l924, was appointed principal in 1929, and has been our superintendent since 19-19. He is active in Rotary club, the Chamber of Commerce, and his church. Mr. Kirkman, our principal, has many problems to solve daily: there's always the problem of excuses for absentees, dates to be planned for various assemblies, or new students to be enrolled. In addition he works as a co- ordinator arnong the faculty. student body, and the parents to see that every- thing runs smoothly, handles the discipline problem, and checks to see that schedules are followed. Mr. Kirkman is a member of the Lions club, the Lions club quartet, and the Chamber of Commerce. Once a month our school board meets to approve the appointments of teachers. vote on bids to buy new buses, pay bills, and take care of any other school business which arises. The members are men who try to see that the Drumright school system has a modern, democratic program of education. It is not unusual to find Miss Lucile Anderson ladened with money bags, keys of all sizes. or countless checks to be signed. She has served as secretary to the principal and superintendent since 1942. and as clerk to the board of education since 1947. Miss Anderson, an alumna of Drumright High School, received her B. A, degree from the University of Oklahoma and served as a teacher of English at D. H. S. for a time before assuming her present duties.
