Better Food-Better Workers W'hat will it be for lunch! A dash across the street for a hot dawg and a coke? Or will you be smart and head for the Cafeteria where piping hot and wholesome food awaits you-for no more than a hamburger or two would cost! Every day, with Kibus Club student aid, the Cafeteria serves thousands of students. Under the supervision of Mrs. Watson, nutritional food is prepared on a no-profit basis. At a time when well- cooked, nicely-balanced meals really contribute toward national defense, a policy such as our Cafeteria follows is doubly gratifying. Whenever there's to be a banquet or special dinner for any of our school groups, chances are that Mrs. Watson and her Cafeteria crew are on the job! I'LL TAKE THAT ONE! Mrs. Peniwell's happy at seeing that tempting piece of apple pie. At right, Messrs. Mont- gomery, Eastburn, Farringer, Gates, and Blackshare enjoy themselves with the rest of the faculty at a typical school banquet. Below, Mrs. Watson prepares the noon meal, while Stadium Club boys raise their glasses twaterl in a toast. i QZGJ

Cur Parents Keep Us Flying. Have you ever thought about who kept you flying every morning to get you to school on time, and who kept you from forgetting your books and your homework? lt's your parents, of course. These same parents, cooperating with the faculty, make up the membership of the P T A. Through the benefits of the P T A, 50 needy students have been aided in obtaining clothes this year. Many others have been aided by the P T A lending library. Likewise, the P T A brought enjoyment in i942 to Phoenicians by sponsoring the Fray and Braggiotti concert, at the same time raising funds for charitable work. Particular praise goes to Mrs. Fred McDonald, presidentg Mrs. Russell Peabody, first vice-president, Mrs. Warren Parker, second vice-presidentp Mrs. A. C. Murr, recording secretary, Mrs. William Wahl, corres- ponding secretary, Mrs. G. A. North, publicity chairmang Mr. Charles Burton, treasurer, Mr. William Gates, auditory Mrs. L. N.

Worthy Of Ou When you remember that in your grammar school there were, at most, two ianitors on duty, it might be something of a surprise to know that the above group keeps very busy right on one carnpuseoursl Main- tenance workers pictured above are, tirst row! Stephenson, Eichsteadt, Echols, Hendrix, Foster, Wright, Kipp, Atkinson, second rowelztutt, Osborn, Fellows, Reed, Scrivner, Mayberry, Hornbeckg back row - Hester, Mitchell, Martin, Bailey, Schwartz. Muther, Snelson, May. Bottom: lt's a constant job to keep hedges trimmed, walks repaired and your lunch papers gathered upl Altogether, there are 25 men and 2 women on our maintenance torce, not counting Cafeteria workers. Under the supervision ot Mr. Schofield Swartz, it is 1275 I' Praise - their job to keep our school and its surroundings spick 'n span. ln spite ot our very bad manners with re- gard to walking across the grass, tossing paper wrap- pers away, cutting up papers to throw on the floors, marking up desks and classroom walls, these men and women go about their duties, patiently keeping the dirt swept up and the desk tops varnished. You'll tind them on duty from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless the school has a game or other social events booked for the evening. ln that case, the men will be there to help at the gates, patrol the grounds, and make themselves generally useful. These folks play an important role on our campus. Give them credit, they deserve it!
