Leo also has developed some- thing that makes things easier. It ' s called a paraprofessional. They never run out of gas, they don ' t need electricity and we certainly can communicate with them. One of the para-professionals, Mrs. Sylvester, assists Mrs. Grose by keep- ing books on the shelves and peace with the kids. This group of ladies is always willing to lend a hand by help- ing students and teachers to keep the school organized and functioning well. They manage the offices, run the A.V. dept., supervise attendance, head re- source centers, and file papers all in the course of a day ' s time. So, Thomas A. your heart out!

Head Custodian, Vitus Koch His co-worker, Henry Jensen The night crew, Carol Stanton, Tom Willits, Carol Johnson, Thu Ygent. Caring for the building and grounds that house over 800 people is a job that requires broad shoulders as well as capable hands. Fortunately, these attributes are found in the very able Chief Custodian, Vitus Koch. He heads a day crew of three, as well as supervising the night crew ' s work. Sweeping and mopping, repairing leaks and breaks, changing light bulbs and patching rooftops, these multi-talented custodians find their days busy. However, they still manage to come to the aid of students and staff alike when problems arise such as a locker that won ' t open, or a faucet that won ' t work. HELPING HANDS HOUSED HERE Throughout the year many of these emergencies manage to appear. Every incoming seventh grade class brings its share of locker troubles. Some- times an experienced hand can manage what frightened fingers fumble. Other times, it ' s the ol ' hacksaw routine for those who have pur- chased their own padlock, but then lost the key. Yard chores fill many hours, too, sometimes more pleasantly than others. Mowing grass in the early Spring is decidedly preferred to removing blizzard drifts from the rooftops in 0° weather. Though they get their share of unpleasant jobs, this team does them efficiently and well. Re- member them the next time you ' re tempted to drop that candy wrapper on the cafeteria floor. Part of Vitus ' many duties include the maintenance of the grounds the year round. The Group 17
