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

gyration SENIOR SCRUDS AND FRIENDS DOING THEIR OWN THING Back in the ' 50 ' s ' the teens seemed to have created their own era. Cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, and drag races. Here we are in the ' 70 ' s ' struggling to create a fantastic impression on the next generation with our cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, drag races ... It doesn ' t seem to have changed that much. But some of the obvious changes are: the twist to the hustle, a Desoto to a Ford 4 wheel drive, Elvis Presley to Pe- ter Frampton, skin-tight pony tails to soft and frizzy curls. Of course as time changes so do our ways as we discover more each day, but no matter how much we advance the people generally stay the same. The teens that want to do their own thing and be a friend to mankind are tomorrow ' s lead- ers. But while the weight of the world still rests on our parents ' shoulders, go out and throw a frisbee, hop on your ten-speed, cruise in a new Camaro, have a pool party, listen to your new al- bum, put on your Dr. Scholl ' s and loaf awhile. Take the time to do your thing while the opportuni- ties are there. Gyration 19
