SERVICE Putt Merced High School could not operate with- out the help of the many service groups. Inside the school the librarians are always willing to help their fellow students find en- joyable and informative books. The office girls collect absentee slips, write vouchers, file programs, run. errands, and do anything else that might need to be done. They help to keep the school running smooth- ly. The cafeteria personnel does a wonderful job in tumjng out fine meals for so large a student body as that of Merced High. In ad- dition to hot meals. bag lunches are also served. Hot chocolate and doughnuts can be purchased every moming before school. Outside the school proper, as well as in classrooms, the custodians work hard each year to keep our school looking neat and at- tractive. They also shared an added burden of preparing the new offices for the District Top: Cafeteria Supervisors: Nena Belle Har- rison, Katheryn Arbogast, lean Streetman, Ruth Fitchett, Edna McConnell.
