C 3 C O o CO WlmmmY l I@ 1 !: forking eight hours a day, managing 17 people and putting together a $450 lunch was the job of Joyce Jobe, cafeteria manager. And though it was a hard job, Ms. Jobe often found jokes instead of thanks. I tell you, she said. I don ' t know why it started, or where if started. The food we serve is the very best that is available to us, and we prepare it in a professional way. And, I try to make it attractive. But we have to offer one-third of the nutritional re- quirements, and nutrients aren ' t appealing. So, a lot of it is what you have to offer. A new feature the cafeteria staff offered this year was the snack line. Kids aren ' t going to eat what they don ' t like. And students like junk food, said Ms. Jobe. Why does Ms. Jobe put up with jokes and pickiness and remain the cafeteria manager? I like to be around kids, she answered. It keeps you young. Plus, it ' s always interesting and challenging. Keeping the students warm during the snowstorm and cool during spring finals was the job of Mr. Orville Berry, building operator. I come under ' preventive maintenance. ' I mostly keep the air-conditioners and heaters going and clean, keep the ther- mostats set, keep the belts tightened and in shape. Cleaning filters is one of my main jobs, too, but I don ' t like it as well, said Mr. Berry. Mr. Berry learned how to handle the dif- ferent units by experience. I ' m a ' shade tree mechanic, ' a general flunky man. This means you know a little bit and learn the rest on your own, he explained. When Mr. Berry couldn ' t fix a unit, he ' d call in more skilled workers. I ' ve been here 10 years and I ' ve always tried to please everybody, but you can ' t always. I call in other maintenance people if the job ' s too serious. The one thing Mr. Berry didn ' t like about Reagan was its messiness. I love Reagan and everyone, but we really are kinda sloppy. If I could have my way, I ' d like to see someone buckle down on the keeping of the school, and over- come some of the vandalism atid breaking and tearing up of the lockers, he said. After 10 years, Mr. Berry said he was looking forward to retirement: I may be here two or three more years because I have to. I ' d like to retire right now. But I love Reagan; I ' ve made a lot of friends here. And I love you young people. Cafeteria manager Ms. Joyce Jobe serves students ; salad well. ReaJy to slarl a long day, Mr. A. D.

Everyone has role to play in our drama As sand slipped through the hourglass, Reaganites spent their time involved in many different and unique clubs. There were spirit clubs, religious clubs, business clubs, sport clubs, language clubs, and departmental clubs, to name a few. Every student played his or her role in the clul whether officer, member or supporter. To see what set you played a role in, ju relax and enjoy The Days of Our Lives.
