MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORTATION The phenomenal task of keeping the school clean and in good repair is left to our custodial staff. At Benld Mr. Moruskey and Mr. Tripolo (upper left) keep things spic 'n span . The mopping, cleaning, and refurbishing at GCHS is in charge of Mr. Louis Sobberi (upper right) and Mr. Albert lllafka (lower left). Mr. Russell Herron (lower right) is in charge of maintenance of buildings and grounds for the district. In a school district which encom- passes nine geographically separate communities and their surrounding rural areas, the task of transporting students is a great one. Equally important is the maintenance of the vehicles for such a task. Mr. Harry Suhling is in charge of our fleet of busses. He is assisted by Mr. Fred Vogelsang. The bus drivers pictured at the left are: (seated} Mr. Gerald Nussman, Mr. Oscar Wesley, Mr. Harold Weidner, (standing) Mr. ' Suhling, Mr. Herron, Mrs. Frances Meyers, Mr. Vogelsang, Mr. Rogers Whitehouse.

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.

A good teacher is more than a person who assigns homework. Good teachers are people who not only in- struct subject material, but also provide leadership and guidance for young adults. The faculty of G.C.H.S. is acutely aware of this and act as club sponsors, coaches, and advisors to students. They further fulfill this con- cept by treating students as individual persons with indi- vidual problems. With the animation of the little peo- ple our faculty keeps up with a going student body and constantly works to keep G.C.H.S. on the go. FACULTY
