9 9 5 5 Food services, v custodial crews keep things going Two shifts of custodial and engirierring crews and one shift of food service workers were assigned to Northwest to provide general maintenance and school meals. The food service workers started their day at 6 a.m. with preparations of breakfast foods such as glazed donuts, cinnamdn rolls and hot breakfast sandwiches for students and faculty members who did not have time to eat breakfast at home. After the breakfast rush, food service employees began prepar- ing the lunch meals. New food items were added to the fast food menu. These new items included barbeque ham, taco salads, corn dogs, chicken nuggets and strawberry shakes. The expanded food menu wias the result of Sandy Chatfield, new food service manager. 3 Morning preparation for the day started when engineers set the thermostats and custodians turned on the lights at approx- imately 6 a.m. The duties of first shift custodians involved preparing for morning assemblies, keeping the commons area clean both before and after lunch, ,and assisting wherever needed. Aside from the usual responsibilities of cleaning classrooms, washing windows and vacuuming floors, the second shift custodial crew provided many special services for evening activities at Northwest. During the basketball season custodians swept the basketball courts at half-time to insure against possible injuries to players.Q After school dances, the entire custodial staff stayed after to clean the commons for the next day's classes, Extra time and effort was extended to the music and drama pioduc- tions both during performances and rehear- sals. When thinking about the operation of a school one immediately thinks tabout teachers, principals and students, however a school would not be able to function without the support and help of the food service, engineering and custodial icrews.
