Marplc-Newtown maintains its fine reputation by keeping the school build- ing in order. The custodians, through their diligent efforts, render this neces- sary service to the school. They begin their work before the students arrive in the morning and continue long after each student has gone home. These dedi- cated men also work on Saturdays during the football season, and clean up after the dances and plays. Their service to Marple-Newtown is truly an in- valuable one. These are the school custo- dians during a rare moment when they have completed their work. and SCHOOL FATHERS The bus drivers are responsible for transporting over one-half of the Senior High School’s student body safely to and from school. Many of the drivers make two or more trips in the morning and an ecjual number in the afternoon; still others trans- port students to sports events; some are also involved in cutting the grass of the dis- trict’s schools. Neither rain, snow, sleet, nor hail deters these hearty mean from mak- ing their appointed rounds. These faithful bus driv- ers pro ' -ide safe trans- portation to and from school.

L J The cafeteria staff pre- pares well-balanced meals each day for the students. The cafeteria staff is composed of nine women, who work under the direction of Mr. Grimsley. This staff must plan a well-balanced menu for each day of the school year. They provide food not only for the students, teachers, and visiting officials who may observe our school in action, but also for all special school affairs. The more than 700 students who purchase some item from the cafeteria each day attest to the great job that these women do. SCHOOL MOTHERS . . . Mrs. Janice Mannino, the school nurse, has served at Marple-Newtown for seven years. Mrs. Mannino tends with devoted care to the many students who come to the medical suite each day.
