Of 1950 CUSTODIANS Our two janitors, Mr. John Swope and Mr. Eber Martin, are familiar figures around our school. They are well-liked because of their cheerful and friendly personalities and their Willingness to help whenever they can. Our health and comfort are safe- guarded by the janitors' efforts to keep all the 'rooms at the right temperature and to keep the floors clean and tidy. Mr. Swope, excepting one year, has been employed at North Lima since 19285 and Mr. Martin, since 1947. We believe that We are indeed fortunate to have such faithful and cooperative custodians in our school. BUS DRIVERS The bus drivers, Mr. Paulin, Mr. Powell, Mr. Seidner, and Mr. Blosser, also help to keep the wheels of the school going around smoothly as they transport the pupils safely to and from school. Their conscientious efforts of regularly bringing the students safely to school in good or bad weather are greatly appreciated. All of the buses are new this year. They were purchased by and are owned by the Board of Education. Page 7

So CAFETERIA Our first cafeteria opened November 1, 1939 as a result of a project of the Com- munity Council. Funds were raised by donations from the various organizations of the community. In charge of this project was Miss Kathryn Keys, home economics teacher, who with twenty uniformed girls as helpers, served 70 to 135 students daily. During the first twenty days S171 was taken in, with a net profit of 852. The following year the cafeteria was transferred from the home economics room to its present location. Miss Evelyn Rees was now in charge with Miss Ruth Ackerman as cook. The average number served was about 150, the highest being 177. The next year Miss Jane Werden replaced Miss Rees. Then in 1943, Mrs. Eleanor Jenkins became home economics teacher and manager of the cafeteria. To her, much credit is due for the building up of this important school and community project. For a time WPA women were the cooks and served about 200. After the fire, caused by faulty wiring, the cafeteria was redecorated and refurnished with modern equipment in- cluding new dishes, trays, chairs, and tables. For the past eight years the cafeteria has been under a government plan whereby federal aid is given if a Type A lunch is served. A Type A lunch must include W pint milk, protein food, fruit or vegetable, and bread and butter. This is a com- plete lunch providing 1f3 to 112 of the day's nutritive requirements. The cafeteria is self-supporting, and with the help of this government program, we have been able to buy new equipment-a potato peeler, a stove, a dish washer, a deep freeze, and a large refrigerator. The growing popularity of the cafeteria is shown by the increase in the number served, which is now 320 to 335 daily. Because of the well-planned and well-prepared meals, the head cook, Miss Mildred Heck, together with her assistants-Mrs. Mabel Swope and Mrs. Ada WeaverAhas earned the appreciation of those served.

'Mega SCHOLARSHIP One of the most important factors in any school system is scholarship. Being on the honor roll is a coveted achievement which requires work and determination. However, the satisfaction derived from attaining this goal is well worth the effort. In our school students may be on the honor roll if they have achieved a B average or better. This average may seem low, but many good students who work very hard would find it impossible to maintain an A average. Therefore this system enables hard working students to feel they have accomplished something, and encourages more students to work for high scholarship, since the honor roll is within their reach. Another very worthwhile incentive for scholarship is the Detwiler Award. Each year Mr. Fred B. Detwiler of Columbiana presents this award to the graduating senior who has fulfilled the necessary requirements of scholarship, character, and school citizenship. The award consists of a metal plaque with the winner's name engraved on it, a cash prize of fifty dollars, and a trophy medal. Mr, Detwiler presented the first award in 1946 to Melvin Schwartz, in 1947, to Stephen Kayatig in 1948, to Francis Janosik, and last year, 1949, to Esther Heindel. At the commencement ex- ercises this year, a senior of 1950 will join this group of winners. As students strive to attain creditable achievements in scholarship, to develop com- mendable traits of character, and to practice good citizenship, they prepare them- selves for future happiness and usefulness.
