A.M., P.M., And between, crews haul, sweep, and cook Before beginning her broom-and-mop lour, Mrs. Norte reads the announce- ments and skims the newspaper. A part-time job and lots of responsibility—that is school bus driving. Teachers and housewives were among those who started early every school morning and ended late, with routes from Virden to 3-Way, and varying in loads from Mr. Bowman's station wagon to 80-passenger monsters; and hoping they and the kids would make each round trip safely. Meanwhile, the cooks arrived each morning at 7:30, checked the count for lunch, and after cooking all morning, spent part of the afternoon cleaning up. This year they served an average of 350 people at school and several elderly people daily in the Meals on Wheels program. Their work was often done to music, as the cafeteria was the music room for elementary classes. Routine sweeping and not- so-routine emergency clean- ups occupied the custodians, with Mr. Johnson never know ing where he might be going next to repair or replace a window, or a light—or, well, almost anything.
