Supplying good, warm, wholesome food to hungry students all year has again been successfully done by Genevieve Robinson, director of the cafeteria, and her efficient staff. A whole lunch for only 25 cents 18 Main dishes, salads, desserts, and sand¬ wiches are prepared by the staff of 12 full¬ time workers and three part-time workers. The full-time helpers work from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. while the part-time helpers work only from 11 a. m. to 3 p. m. Each worker is as¬ signed special duties in the preparation of the meals. With the additional number of students at the high school this year, Miss Robinson and her staff have been confronted with a great deal of work. Yet the high standard set by the cafeteria in serving good food to the students was still maintained. A variety of duties confronts the janitors and custodians each day, but keeping the school a clean, warm place in which to study is the essential problem. Stubborn lockers often cause trouble for some students, but Thomas Schroeder, head custodian, or one of the assistants is always ready to come to their assistance. The jobs of the custodians take them from sweeping floors to mending broken window shades. Only when things are in complete readi¬ ness for the next school day does the work¬ ing day of the custodians close.
