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.

i into Classes CLASSES were composed of many crowds of people, and when looking past the crowds the eye focuses on individuals, not the mass as a whole. Although Northwest was being recognized for its academics, sports and fine arts programs, the school would not rightly be so if it had not been for the individuals who make it that way. The leaders of tomorrow were leaders of today, showing good leader- ship qualities which began with the various classes. The sophomore, junior and senior classes set examples for all of the people, both in the community and in the world. The exchange students took back home with them the things they had learned at Northwest and in the United States to share with the people in their country, and in turn, the students at Northwest influenced people of other countries.
