KITCHEN STAFF: J. Patron. M. Doerr. B. Curnow, J. Whitehill. M. Smith, R. Gross, M. Turner, D. Hamelin, S. Reed, Food Supervisor S. Burroughs. DRIVING A BUS AT HOL T for seven years, Beth Pennock is still smiling! COOKIN ' AND DRIVIN ' Two of the most important jobs at Holt, were given the least credit. Students did not realize how hard it really was to get the new menu ready at lunchtime. This year the job was placed in the hands of a new food supervisor, Mrs. Sally Burroughs. This is a difficult task, Mrs. Burroughs explained. She intended to familarize herself with the total food service operation before making any changes. In her new job she listened to peoples complaints, planned the menu and did the budget. The staff has been very helpful and understanding . . . just super to work with, she concluded. Was driving kids to and from school really that easy? Being a bus driver is really tough, especially when the kids are rowdy and those bad weather days, said bus driver Beverly McNeely. The people who drove the buses for Holt were trained professionals, and they were alert to the bad things that could happen enroute to school. I ' ve been a bus driver ever since the busing system began in Holt. said veteran driver Erma Parsons. Fortunately, there have not been any major accidents due to the weather. The rain, sleet and snow may have gotten the drivers feeling under the weather , and driver Jean Reddington said her arthritis was affectedi but, all in all, the students in Holt knew they were in good hands whatever the driving situation.

Dorothy Anderson Jane Bailey Sally Beauchine WELCOME NEW TEACHERS Returning to a six hour day brought a lot of new faces to the Holt High School teaching staff. New to the high school, but not to Holt Public Schools were Mr. Dell Cory (Business), Miss. Nancy Hohn (Spanish), Mr. Doug Mumby (Art) and Mr. Steve Neureither (Technical Drawing). For the brand new teachers at Holt, their job was a happy one. All the students and my co-workers have made me feel at home, said Mrs. Valerie Martin, resource teacher, during her first week of teaching. Holt is a very academic school and I am very impressed with the students, said Biology teacher and new girls ' swim coach, Mr. Brian Templin. A former Holt student and new chemistry teacher, Mr. David Foy, had found that two things helped him feel comfortable at Holt — he was familiar with the teaching staff and found it extremely easy to get along with the students. Mrs. Leeak, math teacher, first became acquainted with Holt while she was substituting. It was then that I learned just how open and supportive the staff and students are at Holt. These qualities are not found in all school systems, she said. The friendliness and enthusiasm of the students along with the faculty cooperation was what Mrs. Sandra Callis liked about Holt High. This was her first position in teaching; her field is mathematics. New French teacher Sandra Bernier had held many previous teaching jobs, but liked Holt because, I like the small town feeling where people are friendly and seem more concerned about one another.
