Those Who Help Us We often fail to give credit to those people who are always there to help us when we need them the most. We take'this opportunity to express grat- itude to these people--cafeteria cooks, bookstore clerk, school nurse, janitors, and library assistants. In addition to her full -time job as Secretary to the Elementary Principal, Mrs. Patricia Wagner operates our bookstore and has charge of selling lunch tickets. ' Mrs. Winifred Courtright helps us when we become ill or injured. Our janitors make it possible for us to have clean surroundings at school. john Fellmy, Freeman Norris, Curt Anderson. warm.: .mn , 0 Q U Sv J....1,,h M, o ,W . Q '7' J -mx!
