provide needed service The Dagwoods sold for 25 cents, salads for i5 cents, desserts and malts for lO cents. Several students helped in the cafeteria selling a-la- carte items, scraping plates and working on cleanup. Only those students who had study hall during the lunch period were allowed to do these jobs. Six custodians were responsible for keeping the school clean and in good repair this year. They are Clarence Anderson, head custodian, Eddie Kline, l-larold Price, Garry Sahr, Richard Miller, janitors, and Myrtle Stolten- berg, janitress. The custodians' work dcesn't end when the schools close for the summer. While the students are on vaca- tion, the janitors join work groups to do redecoration and repair work on all school buildings. Despite the crowded classrooms, students of Mason City High School are proud of their school and the good condition in which it is always kept.

Cooks and custodians While the Masonian can boast of a 50-year history, another important port of school lite, the cafeteria pro- gram, is relatively new. The familiar hot lunches have been available to high school students for only six years. ln pre-cafeteria days, students either brought lunches or went home during the hour-long noon break. This year, 400-600 students daily ate the nutritious, well-prepared meals, costing only 30 cents. Cafeteria manager, Virginia McBrearty, was responsible for see- ing that the serving ran smoothly and swiftly. Helping her were Ruth Dalton, Gerry Chinander, Berneice Nassen and Elsie Wiggins. The three-shift program was used again, with approximately 200 students being served during each half-hour shift. The o-la-carte items were again popular this year. Girls on diets and boys who wanted something extra were able to choose salads, desserts, Dogwood sand- wiches or chocolate malts. CHANGE NEEDED-One of the duties of Marjorie Voss, office secretary, is making change in the cafeteria. OPERATION LUNCH - Preparing for hungry students are cooks Gerry Chinonder, Elsie Wiggins, Berneice Nassen and Ruth Dalton. DUMP IT - Custodians Eddie Kline, Harold Price and Dick Miller load a truck with a day's collection of trash. w,NE ,iiff,,iifd:,Lif,! V
