tB hind SamoA. (jJohksihA. Behind the scenes of every project are people who very seldom receive credit for their part in the project’s success. Three essential elements in the successful opera- tion at Fremont High School are the cooks, bus drivers, and custodians. These people have done much to improve the appearance of the school, protect the safety of the chil- dren, and to feed the students a well- balanced lunch. Although these people are not thanked for the many things they do for the students they are still appreciated by all. The cooks have been preparing tasty, nutritious meals for three years in the mod- ern, well-planned cafeteria. This year they acquired the added rcsponsibilty of planning the menus and ordering groceries and sup- plies. The students will vouch for the quality of the lunches as many of them re- turn for their free, second helpings. The cooks arc aways willing to advise the various organizations on the quantity of food required for each social function and the most efficient way to prepare the food. They have become quite familiar with pancake and chili suppers. They good-naturedly accept the fact that the

The Student Council is composed of a boy and a girl from each of the high school classes. They arc elected by the individual classes to represent them in the affairs of the school for which the Student Council is responsible. Repre- sentatives from the various classes are as follows: Ann Hadley and John Gary, seniors; Diane Baker and Paul Grccnawalt, juniors; Carolyn King and David Harding, sophomores; and Corla Foss and Philip Gay, freshmen. These eight people work with and arc advised by Mr. Mertz. The officers arc: Ann Hadley, president; John Gary, vice- president; and Diane Baker, secretary. The activities of the Student Council were various. One of the first was to discuss the possibilities of having Tri-H.-Y and Hi-Y clubs in the school. Ann Hadley, Corla Foss and John Gary along with Miss Lowe and Mr. Long, potential sponsors, went to Shipshewana to a dis- trict meeting of the clubs to see what the other organizations were doing. They also were re- sponsible for investigating the possibilities of hav- ing a National Honor Society in the school. Cheerleading tryouts in the fall were presided over entirely by the members of the Student Council. The members then helped Mr. Laticr with the arrangements of the Hallowe’en carnival plans and the distribution of the concession stand committee slips. The high school Christmas party and gift exchange were planned by the Student Council. The members passed out ice cream sandwiches and called the numbers for the gift exchange in front of study hall.

Congratulations are extended to the cooks for the wonderful lunches the stu- dents are served and many thanks for the aid they willingly give to anyone who asks. Bus drivers are the basic factor of the consolidated school. Fremont is fortunate in having a fine force of bus drivers. There have been no accidents and the busses al- ways make their way through all kinds of weather both bringing the students to school and taking them home. All of the drivers have had many years of driving experience and have outstanding records of safety. The first busses were horse-drawn; very much different from our modern busses of today. The busses arc better equipped for the changing w'eather than the early busses and more comfortable. Another bus wras required for the mounting number of children from Branch County making a fleet of ten busses. The bus drivers for the year are: Kenny Reese, Fremont township; Maurice Cooper, Fremont township; John Bromagen, Fre- mont township; Russell Abbott, Fremont township; Jim Barshall, Kinderhook town- ship; Maynard Foss, Kinderhook township; Roy Davis, Jamestown township; Kenny Cook, Jamestown township; Lloyd Gary, Clear Lake township; Nick Petras, Clear Lake corporation. The other group of behind the scene” workers arc the custodians. This group also have their work cut-out” for them. At least one of them can be found with a broom and dust-pan at all times. Their jobs are many; carrying out ashes and waste paper, fixing window blinds, broken desks and windows, retrieving lost balls and air- planes from the roof, replacing burned out fuses and light bulbs, and keeping the fires burning. The problem of cleaning the gym after a ball game is efficiently handled by the custodians. They are aways ready to loan a broom, paint brush, hammer or screw-driver. The students will take credit for bring- ing the dirt and papers to the halls and classrooms but the custodians should re- ceive the reward for its removal. — 9 —
