Under the supervision of Mrs. Elizabeth Edgerton (left) students and teachers are fed each day, and visiting guests are welcomed to the cafeteria. Cafeteria workers (above) are always prompt as they serve the daily lunches. Service to GHS Provided by Capable Staffs Without the services of such special people as the cafeteria staff and the custodians, GHS would not function efficiently. All im- portant to the students, for instance, is the cafeteria where over 1,200 sudents and teachers are fed each day. Also important are the school’s custodians who are responsible for the building’s care and cleanliness. They are the ones who maintain the proper heat in the winter, and who are often called on to see that the building is ready for special functions. Charged with the daily care of the building, Alonza Cherry and Hattie McClean (above) are dedicated fig- ures at GHS. They arrive early (left) to see that everj ' thing is ready for another day of classes. 22
