The Task of Making Monacan Shine As any perceptive reader would be able to deduce, we are highlighting those people who ‘‘make it work’’ at Mona- can inthis year’s edition of the Legend. Perhaps the least appreciated and yet very im- portant component of our school is the custodial staff. Their faces are familiar but their names ar e not. Students and faculty are probably not aware of the many jobs our custodial staff perform during the course of a day, either. Headed by Lloyd Fountain, Monacan’s custodial staff has Hello Down There. Repair crews have become familiar sights in the task of making Monacan work. a truly mammoth task to per- form. Cleaning up after 1800 students and 130 faculty and staff members may be over- whelming, in itself. This, how- ever, is only the beginning of their responsibilities. As the “maintenance crew’’, one of their main jobs is to maintain the physical plant. Minor re- pairs in classrooms and bath- rooms, upkeep of the dining rooms, lockers and gymnasi- um are all part of a custodian’s job. In addition to the jobs men- tioned above, custodians must be at the school during any, and all activities. Dances, meetings, athletic events all require that a custodian be present. Due to this require- ment, the custodians are di- vided into two groups. One group is at the school during the day; the other group is at Monacan from 4pm to 11pm. In fact, it is rare that a member of the custodial staff is not at Monacan. Many components are re- quired to operate an effective school environment. Faculty, students, Administrators, aides are all prominent on any list. Do not, however, forget the custodians. Though rarely recognized, they make a valu- able contribution to making our school work. Here We Go Again. The toll of another day shows in the expression of this hardworking lady. | Know It’s Here. Searching for one of the tools of trade, this member of the custodial staff prepares to begin her work. 132 Faculty

One of those loyal faculty members is Mrs. Shumate, the assistant principal who has been here for three years. As assistant principal, she works and helps people everyday.

Mrs. Shumate has especially noted the rise in parent aware- ness and with their increasing involvement. Being the assistant princi- pal is not an easy task. Even without all the paperwork that comes with it, the task at hand is a formidable opponent. She is constantly going to meet- ings, helping students with their problems, and making sure that the schedule school runs in tip-toe condition. of Making Among the other things she does are: working with the Business Department, the Vo- cational Department, and with the Music Department. Two areas that make her ultilize her good judgement are the evaluation of the teachers and the disciplining of disorderly students. These two are prob- ably the most difficult areas of her job. Away from the job, she en- joys music and the fine arts. When asked what she would cherish the most about Mona- can in the years to come, she Monacan Work responded by commending the friendliness of the student body, and the hard working teacher faculty in the pursuit of excellence. From the small squabbles to the accidental setting off of the fire alarms to the danger- ous bomb threats, Mrs. Shu- mate has handled it all. Years from now after she has left Monacan, she will be able to think back with pleasant memories.
