Each day after the last bell, and the last resounding footsteps of the students are heard in our halls, the custodian staff must clean the buildings thor- oughly for another busy day. This is an arduous task that confronts them continually and they perform it very well. This efficient staff of nine is ably headed by MISS JUANWA A' BOOTH' School Num Charles I. Drennan and includes Lloyd C. Vath, in charge of maintenance, Alfred A. Hopkins, Mrs. Nora Johnson, Francis C. Holson, Harley J. Fessier and Ray A. Stanton. Dean L. Gay su- pervises the gardening, and Damon A. Baker guards the EBHS grounds at night. Because of the national emergency, the EBHS Nurse's Office takes on an added hum of activity and importance this year. Miss Booth, our school nurse, stated that the now vi- tally imp-ortant course in Red Cross Nursing has enrolled many students and adults alike. This course adheres mostly to home nursing, and is given according to the National Red Cross standards. The course will be an invaluable aid during this emergency, and will help the country more by instilling in the students the knowledge of First Aid. SECOND RUVV Llnyrl C. Vuth.
