There appetizing meals are planned and prepared by the chefs and their helpers. The hot lunch program is supported by the national government. The government supplies the school with government surplus food and also pays five and one half cents on every meal served in the cafeteria. We are all proud of our chefs. They are: Mrs. Lottie Hendrickson, Mrs. Blanche Stutler, and Mrs. Birdie Moyer. At the beginning of the second semester Mrs. Dorothy McWilliams replaced Mrs. Hendrickson. Mrs. McWilliams is not pictured. Whistle while you work! That's exactly what our custodians do as they perform their never-ending tasks of sweeping the classrooms and halls, washing the windows and blackboards, and dusting the seats in the auditorium. There is always one of them on duty at the school both day and night. Mr. Thomas McWilliams, not pictured, is in charge of the maintenance work. You can find him in the furnace room keeping the school fires burning in the winter and outside mowing the lawn in the summer. The friendliness of these people will not be forgotten by the students of G.H.S. Q'uAiadianA. Left to right: Richard Ford, Nettie Smith, James Isner. 18

In 1951 we entered the halls of Grafton High, awkward, timid, and smeared with lipstick. As freshmen we were green, but we put our best foot forward by electing the following officers: president, Carol Bartlett; vice president, Mary McKinney; secretary-treasurer, Patty Moyer. The next year we returned to Grafton High and elected as our class officers: president, Joe Richmond; vice president, Mary Alice Hawkins; secretary-treasurer, Leo Stevens. Not too much was heard from us our sophomore year for we were quietly waiting for the time when we would be upper-classmen. In our Junior year we claimed a big accomplishment in the form of the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. The program began with a banquet which was held in the much-decorated cafeteria. The evening was climaxed with a dance. This was the first such event to be held at G. H. S. and was very successful. We elected as our Junior class officers: president, Tony Veltri; vice president. Bob Mollohan; secretary, Paul Milinovich; treasurer, John Stephenson. At long last we were officially called sen- iors. We now had the thing that we had hoped, dreamed, and wished for during our other three years. To give us a good start we elected our class officers: Mary McKinney as president, Robert Mollohan as vice president, Mildred Nestor as secretary, and Donald Bennett as treasurer. Our dramatic talent was well displayed in the senior class play, Elizabeth, The Queen which was a huge success. As seniors we were given the opportunity to re-establish the Alumni Society. Many students worked hard doing whatever was asked of them in order that this, too, might be successful. We were represented in the athletic department by Sam Shriver, Gordon Kent, Tom Nye, Robert Reed, Cecil Robison, Bob Mollohan, Leo Stevens, Jim Stockett, Donald Bennett, Ed Skaggs, John Stephenson, and Arthur Jackson. We were also represented in the cheering squad by Mary Alice Hawkins who has held that post for the past three years. As we leave old G. H. S. we realize that never again will we enter these halls as students, but we will always embrace the fond memories of our Alma Mater. 20
