Cleaning, fixing, helping-custodians are needed With all the work done by the custodial staff. it is little wonder that they use a great deal of equipment, but the actual volumes are staggering. Three hundred gallons of wax and scrubbing soap, 60 wet and dry mops, and 300 pounds of rags are expended as the custodians perform their duties during the year. The staff of 22 men and one woman put resources to work with skill and care, keeping a school that stu- TT' dents and community can well be proud of. We salute TT' the custodians, the hard-working, behind-the-scenes crew, that keeps Seaholm sparkling. --4. 'P--.L Cleaning the miles of corridors in Seaholm is a tremendous job, requiring many hours of work. Beginning as soon as the halls are clear of students, the men work on into the night. Thomas Grigsby industriously takes care of the scrubbing, while Lloyd Dafoe vacuums away the water. p Taking a welcome break after discharging their lunch time duties, the day custodial staff members relax over steam- ing cups of coffee. Don Stone, Josephine Roberts, Homer Westerby, Jim Stone, Paul Winter, John Adams, and Walter Page are seated around a cafeteria table. 5 As any housewife will testify, dust quickly gathers on high, little-used shelves and ledges. This situation becomes intensi- fied in a school with so many people tracking in dust and stirring up air currents. Andrew Matusko takes a cloth to the locker tops. V ,.v,. . -.. N, , .xx w NX A!! 71
