People Who Work Hard Mr. Clinton Proffer is in charge of the maintenance of all the school district’s buildings and grounds. The hard- working people who are under his supervision work around the clock. We don’t have pictures of the night shift, because our photographers don’t stay up that late. The ladies who cook the school lunches serve an estimated 80,000 meals a year. That’s a lot of hours over a hot stove. I wonder how many of those delicious, fresh cookies they bake in a year? Ernest Higgerson and Richard Doerr, maintenance Clinton Proffer Lillian Campbell Cecilia Brooks Cafeteria workers: Back row: Betty DeRousse, Dixie Arras, Thelma Bush, Betty Daniels. Front: Manager Margaret Arras, Charlotte Durham, Tina Weller. 16

Joe Vanover Gene Poettgen Margaret Hagedorn Our sturdy custodial staff wipes grimy, slimy spitwads off the walls and sweeps up gritty garbage off the floors. Our sturdy maintenance staff repairs your favorite sweetie’s seatie and fixes any other broken objects. Our nine trusty bus drivers plow through thick and thin to keep the students safe. An average day might consist of flat tires, flying snakes, standees and paper fights. But this adds spice to a bus driver’s life.
