The buzz of the switchboard was omnipresent. Or- ganization of notices in the daily bulletin, mainten- ance of student records, and compilation of absence and early departure lists were among their many duties. Visitors to the school were cordially greeted and given information. Providing food for hungry students was the job handled by Mrs. Disney, cafeteria manager, and her staff. Each day these staff members efficiently served a carefully planned meal. All students were again assured of excellent health care from the school nurse, Mrs. Carnvale. All types of emergencies, from headaches to broken bones, were treated gently and efficiently. Dorothy Bclyse Shirley T. Curtis E X W 1 H' 77 ,f ' Elsie Pcink Virginio E. Romcick Berry T.
