Students are more intelligent and worldly, and they have grown up faster. I wouldn't change places with them. That's for sure! Changes in students' free time were evident. No longer is the school a focal point in a student's life. Now outside things influence what a teenager does, said Mrs. Jana Sherrell, drama and English. It's not too bad est Wishes.

Secretaries' hours began at 7:30 a.m. and didn't end until 4 p.m. They answered phones, answered numerous questions from students, parents and the faculty and dealt with the many tardies and absences, both excused and unexcused. They also helped the principals by making appointments, typing correspon- dence and scholastic reports and take messages. Thejanitors' days began at 7 a.m. and ended at midnight for the two separate shifts. Cleaning the halls, washing windows and cleaning the graffiti off our walls, all very im- 'ar portant functions, couldn't be done on their school hours. They even worked during the breaks such as Christmas and spring break to get the extra things done that couldn't be done everyday. Another important group of personnel was the cafeteria workersl who arrived at 5:30 a.m. to make doughnuts and cinnamon rolls for those students who arrived at 7:00 to eat breakfast. They began preparing lunch as early as 9:30. Maintenance crews worked year round fixing desks, broken glass, doors and mutilated lockers. All these jobs were hard, but they all had to be done, our school couldn't have functioned without these people. WW MMV'
