In background is mulberry tree, one of three planted in spring of 1968 and carefully tended by custodians. Sleepy kids waited for the bus in the morning, some to ride more than 20 miles to school; the bus drivers, all teachers or ranchers, except for Dean Chapman, maintenance superintendent for the bus- es, had been up longer and would go to their own work while the passengers were in school. This was the daily rou- tine for most of DHS's student body. Meanwhile, the custodians have been at school before dawn, seeing that the buildings were warm, the floors swept needed repairs made. Their work in- cluded help at night and week-end events as well as during school hours. At 7:30 each morning, the cafeteria ladies began preparations for feeding more than 500 hungry human beings with sandwiches or home-made rolls and such specialties as Spanish food, fried chick- en, or cherry pie. These people gave extra service, as when Mr. Bowman drove additional miles with the football and basketball teams; Mary Jane helped with half-time pro- grams and gave aid and ideas to organi- zations; and Topper was handy for many good deeds. 26
