Non-Teaching Staff Benefits LPHS An unnoticed but necessary part of LPHS was the non-teaching staff This group supplemented the work of the faculty and administration who together formed the complete picture of a typical school day Before the school day began, secretaries continually answered telephone calls concerning student absences and typed announcements. They also maintained order in both the counselor and principal's office and kept students' records up to date Necessary school supplies were purchased at the school bookstore which was operated by Mrs. Cioad Other school-oriented articles, such as activity tickets, game and bus tickets, and Slicer T-shirts and hats were also available. The library was another place of learning which sometimes supplemented the classroom. Because magazines, books, and other periodicals were available, the librarians proved to be helpful to both the students and tHt faculty. The aid of the school nurse, Mrs Rackham. was invaluable when minor medical assistance was needed. Students who wished to gain first hand knowledge concerning the field of medicine applied as a nurse’s assistant. Although each student's lunchtime was limited to thirty minutes, the cooks spent much longer planning and prepanng meals. Numerous hours were spent washing dishes and cleaning both the large and small cafeterias. Food preparation began hours before noon, and clean-up chores were completed long after the C lunch period. The responsibility of keeping the school building functional and dean was left to the custodians. Not only did this group assist the cafeteria workers in maintaining dean lunchrooms, but they kept both the inside and outside of LPHS neat and operative. The non- teaching staff diligently contributed to LPHS by- performing duties that were beneficial to LPHS students. n
