Alder School Staff Handles the Details Valiantly performing the duties necessary for the smooth functioning of a school, the office staff carried Alder through its tenth year. Mrs. Martha Converse, school treasurer and assistant clerk, has been very helpful and is appreciated for keeping the records for the school and various organizations. Karen Meeker, as secretary, keeps Alder organized. Without Karen, Alder would soon give way to mass confusion. Ray Gibson and Estel Sparks keep the school clean and servicable. The custodians are in charge of the maintenance and cleaning of the school, and whenever prom time is near, their help is gratefully ac- cepted. Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Kuhnt are among the most popular school staff. Not only do they please the students with their fine lunches, but they prepare food for various school functions throughout the school year. 15
