At Notre Dame, the wizards of cookery who combine the seven basic foods into a nourishing lunch are Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague, Mrs. Lillian Hardy, Mrs. Helen Tinkham and Mrs. Marge Moag. Mrs. Moag is in charge of this cafeteria staff, planning the meals and buying the supplies. She also drives the Pavilion bus each day. Mrs. Tinkham drives the Akron bus. One of the students' favorite menus includes turkey and gravy on mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, rolls, milk and peaches. All meals sell for twenty- five cents. The book store isa sunny place where students go for supplies and sympa- thy. Miss Frances Caito presides over this haven as a combination book- keeper, cashier, sales- lady and Jill of all trades. his iifwjxt- if'i llealth services offered at Notre Dame include: student insurance, an annual teeth check-up by dental hygienist Miss Blanche Cummings, wcight and height recordings by Mrs. Helen Hickey and Mrs. George Parry, eye tests by school nurse Mrs, Aileen Churchill, and hearing tests by Mrs. White, who is sent by the Genesee Health Dept. The first polio shots were given this year. Above, Doctor Biagio Mansueto is about to give the initial shot to Betty O'Geen, while Io- settc Riso and Betty Morgan roll up their sleeves in expectation, Mrs. Earl Norton is preparing another needle while Mrs. Churchill makes a record of thc shot. Doctor Pierce, the school physician, retired in the fall and left for a trip to Florida. The student body presented him a traveling bag as a token of appreciation for his years of Service, Bill Kelty, president of the Student Council, is pictured above making the presentation.

She scrubs the stairways, polishes the many windows and sweeps the floors. 455 Mr. Nick Rotundo, janitor, is all set to cut the grass surrounding our halls of learning. But, don't let the fact that he is sitting down fool you. Nick's duties keep him hopping daily from one part of the building to another. Whether it is a broken desk, or a leaking faucet, Nick is on the job. Being a bus driver is usually a full time job, but not for Mr. Sam Tabone. He not only drives and takes care of the Le Roy bus, but also acts as a maintenance man, Sam's ready smile and cheerful air often lead him to jobs beyond the call of duty. 12
