gg Special Staffs Are Behind the Scene Like the many workers involved in the space pro- gram without whose help this year's space flights to the moon would have been impossible, MHS's be- hind-the-scene workers made possible a well-organ- ized and smoothly operated school year. The work of custodians, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers, who formed a vital part of the school scene, often went unnoticed so long as it was done well and on schedule. Bus drivers provided reliable transportation to those students who lived in rural areas. Not only did they make their regular routes twice a day but they also provided transportation on out-of-town sports events and scholastic trips. One of the most active places at MHS, the cafe- teria was under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Stotler. She and her staff had the responsibility of preparing over1200 hot lunches each day. ln addition, they sold milk and donuts before school and prepared ban- quets and dinners for school-related functions. tfrom top left!
