COOKING PLUS 4 We have to keep things where they belong, says Mrs. McGuire. Mrs. Zukas controls the situation. She likes to see things put where they belong! Cooking has more to it than preparing lunches. The instructor, “Ma” Zukas teaches students cleanliness, responsibility, commercial quantity cooking which is the same type of cooking technique restaurants use, and “most important,” according to Ma is health and safety. The Voc. Foods class cooks for all the students attending Memphis Community Schools. Students are prepared so well they may obtain a job in a restaurant because restaurants teach the same techniques Ma does. Hard at work? Connie Dalecki and Kathy Hudema stop to pose for the camera before serving lunches.

The first two quarters of this year were difficult for all of us because the millage had failed three times but finally passed on November 7th. Because of this failure many of our programs were cut. The library program was reinstated on November 8TH and Mrs. Burch, our librarian, soon had the library running smoothly. One of the many services Mrs. Burch provides is recovering worn paperback book covers. Mrs. Burch also gives the Middle School and Freshmen students a presentation on the books which the library has. Keeping the school in shape is part of a custodians’ job. Afternoon members of the High School staff who were not photographed are Barb Bologna and Annie Stork. These very friendly ladies along with Jack Cottington, Bill Canvoy, and Dave Flip- pin are always on their toes trying to keep everything in tip-top condition. In order to relieve Mr. Mrozinski of his extra duties, Ms. Robinson was also rein- stated after the millage pass- ed. Among the things Ms. Robinson had to do was to counsel the students and be- gin the rescheduling. But at the end of the first semest- er Ms. Robinson left Memphis High School for another job offer. Mrs. Patterson our previous Family Life and Eng- lish teacher filled the empty counseling position. Some of the jobs Mrs. Patterson has been tackling includes computing each students grade point average, organi- zing Career Plan Folders for each student that helps with future job applications, rescheduling and counsel- ing the students. 1 ) Dave Flippin takes a break after shoveling the snow off the school’s sidewalks. 2) Stamping books is just one of the little things Mrs. Burch does for the school. 3) “Smile Bill,” asks our cameraman. Bi ll is one of our helpful custodians. 4) Our quick cameraman sneaks a picture of Jack Cottington as he works in the school. 5) Ms. Robinson busily helps the students reschedule. 6) Mrs. Patterson takes over the counseling position.
