CUSTODIAN MR. ROSS MULLINS Most familiar face to all of us in Palmer School is that of Uncle Ross Mullins. He is loved and re- spected by each person in our school for he takes care of our needs and wants without a single complaint. He keeps our building clean and neat and does it with the gentle hands of a man who has known many years of being a school cus- todian. We call upon Uncle Ross when we need an errand run, a floor swept, stage properties built, and just about anything we want at our school. I-Ie always re- sponds as though he is happy to be asked. l BUS DRIVERS Superintendent Watson goes over the latest handbook on driving a school bus with two of our drivers, Mrs. Kate Williams and Mrs. Ruth Jones. These two ladies drive buses which transport about seventy five percent of our students from the rural farms and communities. Good driving for the safety of the child is their primemost thought. Both drivers are a vital part of the school day as they are the beginning and end of each one for the rider. 25

NURSE MRS. FRANCES TURNBULL, R. N. Seen at right giving the Tine Test for tuberculosis to the little girls in the first grade, Mrs. Turnbull is her her smiling, happy self. She is a thoroughly capable and efficient nurse who calls on our school each week. She keeps all health records, weighs and measures regularly, gives eye and ear tests and sees that each child is given every op- portunity to stay healthy and happy in school. LUNCHROOM MRS. ALBERT BATES MRS. KATE WILLIAMS Who could do without good food each day? Luckily, we have tw.o good cooks in Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Williams. They are seen at right with two of the student helpers, John Fuller and Tommy Harper. Boys help serve food and wash dish- es. Almost eighty five percent of students eat lunch in our school lunchroom and that does prove that we have good cooks. We couldn't do without them! SUPERINTENDENTHS SECRETARY MRS. J'. A. BLOCKER Mrs. Blocker has been secretary to Mr. Watson since he has been superintendent. She is a sponsor of the senior class, helps with the school library, and sponsors the yearbook staff. Always interested in the best for each student, Mrs. Blocker serves both students and teachers in many ways. Her favor- ite task is helping to make a good yearbook. She spends many hours and much after-school time working with the students. Most of the school hours are spent at other du- ties.
