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!

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

Reports, discussions require extra study, give Sometimes the seniors wonder if it's worth it to reach their exalted rank, when teachers like Mrs. Boyett, Mr. Bowman, and Mr. Holdsworth assign one research theme after another. However, some admit they actually enjoy learning something more about the world and literature, and working in the library does make a change from sitting in the classroom. Besides, every theme brings a senior nearer to graduation, and soon it’s all over. In English III also, more panel discussions and special pro- jects indicate that the upper class level has been attained, even though dull grammar still has to be met occasionally, and book reports are still required. Even in Mrs. Boyett’s speech class, the learning is not al- together a matter of standing on one’s feet and having to talk before an audience: you have to have something to talk about, and that means more trips to the library. As for the almost all-school population in the music classes, even if there is no studying to do, there is plenty of practice, if you want agoodgrade, and there are night performances for both band and chorus.
