Many hours of dedicated service were given throughout the school year. The custodians worked dur- ing the summer vacation to pre- pare the school facilities for the start of school in August. They worked with ceaseless energy throughout the year to keep the building clean. Gertrude Henke and Julia Simpson, cooks, and Frances Stock- man, custodian, continued their long careers of service to the high school.
