Necessary People Although a picture of these people was unavailable, they were a very necessary part of the school year. Without them there would have been no heat, food or clean room in which to conduct class. Because of their constant dedication we would like to say thanks to the cafeteria staff: Mrs. Eugenia Wines Mrs. Janie Moore Mrs. Jim Dedrick Mrs. Matheney Mrs. Fern Clemmer, Substitute Mrs. Ila Buchanan and to the custodians: Mrs. Judy Thornburg Mr. William Pleasants The school year 1979-80 would have been sadly lacking without you. Co-editors, Kenmar Campbell Terry Staton
