The tasks of total education go beyond the mere administration of buildings or the appropriation of funds--indeed beyond the role of the classroom teacher. A student's mental and physical well-being is vital to the learning process. Also vital is the availability of materials for learning-- books, magazines, newspapers, etc. Mrs. Elinor Davies is nurse for some 1800 pupils of Unit District Number Seven. In addition to her daily routine of head- aches, stomach-aches, fevers, colds, and flu, Mrs. Davies administers the health education program of movies and lectures and the tuberculosis skin test and chest x-ray program. Mrs. Edith Strehle, unit librarian, supervises the circulation of books and other library materials for the district.

The preparation and serving of the school lunch program at GCI IS is handled by (seated) Mrs. Oberto, Mrs. Burge, Mrs. Osterkamp, Mrs. Lucca, (standing) Mrs. Emanuel, Mrs. Campion, and Mrs. Alderson. The task of feeding a school full of hungry children and high school students is the duty of our cooks. In addition to that day-in day-out routine, the cooks are called upon to cater the numerous dinners and banquets which are part of the year's activities. Providing wholesome meals in an attractive environment ultimately is the responsibility of Mrs. Kvelyn Osterkamp, GCIIS's chief-cook-and-bottle-washer.” The ladies who cook, both at Gillespie and Benld, help provide that fuel which keeps GCMS moving. FOOD SERVICES Relaxing after feeding one-hundred eighty hungry freshmen are the cooks at Benld: Mrs. Benich, Mrs. Muich, Mrs. Sabat, and Mrs. Norbent.
