Staffs Assist Students Flashing a smile, Mr. Ridley prepares to clean one of the rooms. Finishing her daily task of cleaning the showcase, Miss Ratliff smiles. Pausing for a moment from the hectic morning routine is custodian Mr. Harris. Cleaning windows is one of the many jobs performed by Mrs. Carr. The task of preparing lunches and maintaining a clean school is a major factor in the make-up of any high school. Students tend to forget the behind-the-scenes activity that provide them with a properly maintained school. The cafeteria staff and custodians have contributed greatly to the overall, clean atmosphere of Pembroke. 15

Cafeteria And Custodial Placing dripping dishes on the racks to dry is one of the duties for Mrs. Walsh, cafeteria manager. Joyfully preparing rolls is a pleasant task for Mrs. Wellington. Getting ready to ladle soup into the bowls, Mrs. Brandon smiles. A hard day’s work makes Mrs. Brandon, Mrs. Charity, Mrs. Debricks, Mrs. Whitfield and Mrs. Walsh appreciate that few minutes of rest. 14

Students Attend Fall Head to head confrontation tends to help Mrs. Elizabeth Woodard and Mrs. Lee Robinson before class. One of the major purposes of the English De- partment was to aid students in self-expression and to further their literary knowledge. As head of the English Department, Mrs. Ehzabeth Wood- ard, worked to provide students with an interesting and modern curriculum. Remedial reading, drama, speech, Journahsm, and humanities were the extra courses offered in the department. Mrs. Charlotte Butler muses over that assignment at the end of the day. Intense concentration on Miss Eula Sims’ part results in a helpful black- board presentation. Harvey Adams accepts Mrs. Diane Mettler’s comments gratefully. 16
