SWEPT AWAY Custodians For years they were the first to arrive at school and the last to leave. They roamed the halls as they kept the campus clean. These loyal workers were none oth- er than the custodians. Our House keep- ers were important. They turned on the power in the morning and got things go- ing. They also stayed after school to clean up. Mr. Willie Bynes, head custodian, was the last to leave so he could lock the school. He also had to open and close the school whenever a meeting was held. Custodians led a tough life. So. the next time one starts to laugh at a custodian; stop and think of what they do. Because without them, we would be in the dark and we would really be in a mess. —Brandt Haney 18 ADMINISTRATION

HANGING TIMES SA Students seemed to be having more prob- lems than ever in school. Parents and stu- dents had trouble communicating about some problems. And the adults had trouble understanding these problems. Parents al- ways seemed to fall back on their childhood horror stories in an effort to relate to their children. But times had changed and so had the problems. In an attempt to get a better un- derstanding the Parents, Teachers and Stu- dents Association was formed. The PTSA met monthly and discussed student academ- ics, as well as social problems to try to come up with viable solutions. The 1985-86 PTSA officials were: Presi- dent—Saral Love, Vice-president—Jeanette Jenkins, Secretary—Pam Jones, and Trea- surer—Susan Bruce. The PTSA provided a formula for parents and teachers to understand student prob- lems so that students could acquire the best education possible. —Brandt Haney DOCTORS ORDERS: Prescribing some friendly ideas to a concerned parent is Dr. Neal Mullis. WAITING: to welcome parents to her class is Mrs. Carroll. COME ON IN: Welcoming parents into her classroom during open house is Miss Kathi Wood. ADMINISTRATION 17

TOW IN AWAY: the remains of a well eaten lunch is Mrs. Marsh WASHING DISHES: after the lunch mob is cafeteria workers Mrs. Cheryl Hill and Mrs. Davis. CLEANING: excess grease from the kitchens oven is Mrs. Marsh. TO BOLDY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE Cafeteria Upon entering the cafeteria one felt a strange force come over him. A recent Nuclear Regulatory Commission found that certain articles in the cafeteria con- tained high levels of radio active ele- ments. The surgeon general determined that excessive exposure to the cafeteria environment could possibly cause disfi- guration of the body and mental lapses. Even though all the cafeteria syndrom of ranting and raving, the complaining about the food, not to mention throwing the food, the meals were nutricious. Mrs. Dorothy Kaigler and the lunch- room staff worked diligently each day to prepare the most nutricious food avail- able. Teachers often complained of the men- tal abilities of the students following lunch break. But with all of the food, cafeteria antics, and strange student behavior, it was evident that the surgeon general was wrong about the radio active elements. The mystical force was nothing other than the typical student on another typi- cal day. —Brandt Haney 0 ADMINISTRATION 19
