The three office secretaries are Mrs. Marilyn Henson, Mrs. Darlene Scott, and Mrs. Charlotte Rodemeyer. Mrs. Blanche Fellows, cafeteria director, is assisted in the preparation of cafeteria meals by Mrs. Jeanie Cocks, head cook, and 10 other cafeteria employees. In an average day, from 80 to 100 break¬ fasts are served, and from 800 to 900 lunches. In order for the cooks to prepare these meals, tremendous quantities of food must be ordered. For instance, potatoes are bought in 100 pound sacks. About 50 of these are used in two weeks, making the total consumption 5,000 pounds. The neat and clean appearance of our school is made possible through the con¬ stant efforts of Head Custodian Thomas Schroeder and his 11 assistants. 20 office

This or¬ ganization enables students to express their opinions through elected representatives, and it helps to promote better understand¬ ing between students and faculty members. Each Senate room elects a senator on the basis of leadership, loyalty to school, and the ability to maintain at least a C average in all subjects. The representatives meet with Principal Charles O. Austin, Jr., every Thursday in the activity room or the Little Theater. Officers elected for the 1953-1954 school year were Bill Mergenthal, president; Bill Bartman, vice-president; and Donna Dover, secretary. 22 senate
