Special jobs need special people Hey! Do you remember what you had for lunch on the first day of school? Each day the student found six complete lunches as well as a la carte items. In addition to the day by day service, our cafe supplied us with spe- cial meals and snacks. The football team was served suppers, and ban- quets were prepared for the organiza- tions which requested the help of our cafe staff. Teas were also furnished on many occasions. Another special group that aided Ferguson was the custodial staff. They set up the boys’ gym for pep rallies and basketball games, the audi- torium for assemblies and plays, moved furniture and equipment, made repairs and cleaned up the school. Our nurse. Mrs. Josephine Eley, spent her busy days with first aid and trying to emphasize the value of health. Mrs. Eley was often analyzing student illnesses and calling parents while at work. Her motto was, “Good health provides a good future; poor health provides no future”. In addition to administering first aid to students, Mrs. Eley also has records to complete. Free time is enjoyed by Mr. Henry with a smile. Taking time out from selling football jerseys, Darryl Le- mack and Lee Loving enjoy a healthful lunch.
