Besides all this, this group also deals with students who have office appointments, does all of the school ' s clerical work, and generally keeps matters well in hand when the situation down at the office becomes frantic. Although they may occasionally lose a battle, they never lose the war!

Cafeteria ... Food and Friends Here dear, let me give you a little extra sauce on that. All the varieties of food served in the cafeteria taste so much better because they are served and prepared by a warm, courteous cafeteria staff. Another outstanding fact about the cafeteria food is its low cost. Thanks are due to the Pomptonian Caterers for their efforts in minimizing prices. Well prepared, nutritious hot lunches can still be had for less than a dollar. Friendly people, a good variety of food, and low prices make lunchtime a favorite period of the day for everyone. 16 CAFETERIA STAFF Back Row: Mrs. Georgette Holdefehr, Mrs. Ruth Gorham, Mrs. Eleanor Shaffer, Mrs. Mary Grillo, Mrs. Josephine Tuzio, Mrs. Ann Cargo, Mrs. Mildred Titta, Mrs. Mary Jursch.
