Big Bus Serves York, Sheldon Because of the increasing population along the Clifton road, the Duncan district added a new, 84-passenger bus for the York- Sheldon area. Mr. Jim Sanders, its driver, turned his smaller one over to Mr. Tom Pace, who had replaced Mr. J. W. Santee on the Foster Lane-Stinson Lane route. Mr. Ivan Richardson took over the Bus 1 from Duncan to Sheldon when Mr. Reeves Knowlton stopped driving. Mr. Duff Chapman, having worked for Dun- can schools for more than 30 years, con- tinued this year to keep the buses in running order so they could get rolling early each morning and again at 3:15 each afternoon. 18

Library helpers learn as they work with books “We didn’t get much chance to breathe,” some student librarians might have said this year of their experience in sixth period library, when Mrs. Nathalie Van Gundy took advantage of having five all at once. As Buzz Fil- leman learned to letter spines of new and mended books, Terry Campbell indexed NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC articles and brought the author scrapbook up to date, Donna Varela, Josie Cervantes, and Marie Quinones took turns at the circulation records, mended books, and shelved them; and when students from speech class came on their frequent assignments, all librarians turned out to provide en- cyclopedias and magazines. Librarians in other periods were Ronald Anderson, Virgie Waters, Jane Hartley, and Darlene Gardner. Three mem- bers of the National Youth Corps helped after school and on Saturdays. Marie’s specialty was typing catalog cards, and on Saturdays she, with Shirleen Lancaster and Donna Nichols, mended books and performed many housekeeping chores. A special project in which several librarians participated during the year was binding magazines and cleaning out and rearranging the magazine-storage room. 17 M. Quinones, T. Campbell, D. Varela, V. Waters, R. Ander- son, H. Filleman, J. Cervantes, D. Gardner. Additional librarians for the second semester were Jane Hartley, Esther Valdez, Eilene Boyett.

Cafeteria ladies cheer lunch time with good food The five ladies of the cafeteria start work every morning of the school year at 7:30. Directed by Mrs. Maude Hartley, they turn out good, nutritious meals. They say that the menus favored by the students include fried chicken, mashed potatoes, combination salad, hot rolls, and cherry pie. In addition to such tempters, there were this year the popular days when enchiladas or tostadas caused the “cafeteria count to zoom. “It is a pleasure, said Mrs. Hartley, “to serve the lunches. The ladies also help to serve school banquets. and show their interest further in school affairs by at- tending the games and rooting for Duncan. As for the crew of high school helpers--they mix last- minute snatches of study for tests with cleaning rags and pans of soapy water; and they pep up the dishwashing chores with whistling and singing. They also manage to get in quite a lot of fun--they have discovered, for instance, that the milk cartons which replaced milk bottles are not only lighter to move; they make fine toys and perfect building blocks!
