Efficient Staffs Keep School Comfortable And Safe “Oh, boy, spaghetti and French bread for lunch!” That was just one of the many compliments that delighted the dieticians and cafeteria workers of Franklin County High School. The cafeteria, together with the efficient staff of experienced dieticians, cooks, and student helpers, endeavored to provide each student with tasty, well-balanced meals each day during the school session. The custodial staff performed effectively the tasks which improved the appearance of the campus of FCHS. The custodial staff kept the shrubbery and lawn in good order and maintained cleanliness and warmth throughout the building. In addition to their other duties, the staff worked with the cafeterial staff to keep the students supplied with sterile trays, plates, and flatware.

Student worker Evonne Holland helps Jake Washburn to check out a book in the library. Providing Stimulants For Study Debra ae finds the card catalogue to be a valuable source of information in the library. “That book was due last Tuesday. You'll have to pay a fine.” Because students were busy, many times the due date for books slipped by unnoticed; however, the library charged only minor fines. The library served a dual purpose for students at Franklin County High School. It provided them with a quiet, comfortable place to study and encyclopedias and other reference sources with which to study. Having over six thousand books and subscribing to fifty-six magazines, the library was well stocked with materials to furnish pleasure reading which helped students to increase their background of knowledge and widen their outlook. Because of a lack of classroom space, study halls met in the library each period. This plan provided use of the materials at regular intervals. Although a full-time librarian was employed in addition to secretarial help, it was necessary to make use of student members of the Library Club. These girls served their fellow students by locating needed materials and checking out books and magazines.
