PERSONNEL AID I KEEPI The services of the personnel staff are necessary in the daily functioning of the school. Members of the staff include secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, the cafeteria staff, the dietician, the superintendent of buildings, and the superintendent of transportation. A Well-balanced diet is necessary for proper growth. Under the careful planning of Mrs. Winters, the dietician, the cafeteria staff provides both students and faculty with nourishing meals. Among the services that the secretaries render are checking accounts, typing the daily bulletin, and making important announcements. They also assist the guidance counselor and the prin- cipal. Providing students with transporta- tion is the service of the bus drivers. Besides driving students to and from Marlene Bleadow school, they are always willing to drive Accmmls Clerk buses for interscholastic sports activ- ities and field trips.
