Kneeling, left to right: E. F. Mills, chief custodian, Harry Blocklinger, W. H. Barnes, Roland G. Parker. Standing, left to Tight: Walter Dunlap, Thomas L. Schroeder, Mrs. Lettie Willetts, William C. Cliff, Kenneth Reem. Shining glass and polished floors typify Rock Island High School due to the tireless efforts of the custodian force. The blocks of halls and numerous rooms are daily cleaned and swept. Pounds of waste paper are collected daily. Thousands of panes of window glass are washed many times annually. And, of course, the boilers are regulated to insure com- fort and heat to all in the building. Theirs is a mighty task! Supplying over 600 people with food five times a week is no easy task for our cafeteria workers. Rock Island can be proud of its tasty, home- like meals. Although a few prices have increased slightly because of the War, a Well-balanced healthful meal can still be purchased for a small sum-a credit to any high school. ' Sat Inset, Miss Lee.
