PERSONNEL A clean school! The students at R. M. H. S. want a clean school that is a credit to our community. The hard and sometimes unrewarding work of the janitors is handled very efliciently by Walter Howard and james Walker. Their day has just begun when the students' day ends. They stay long hours after school cleaning the school for the next day. In the morning they are here bright and early to open the school and get it ready for that day. si at E. 4 Qu' 4 16 r Once the orders ol' the day are issued by the Cafeteria Managers, it is up to the Cafeteria Stall' to do the job. Mrs. Brooks Daughtridge, Mrs. Florence Smith. and Mrs. Susie 'Nin- stead do their job and do it well! lt is not easy to stop, when you are rushed with a lunch period, to help one stu- dent Iind a piece oi' pie or cake that he wants.

Therefore the maids. Allene Howard and Augusta Suggs. do their equally important job with efhciency and pride. Many times their day is pro- longed because students stay alter school to do one thing or another and the maids cannot clean the rooms un- til the students are gone. Our school could not function properly without them. I7

Wheli it comes to managing the school cafeteria, Mrs. Proctor and Mrs. Eakes do a terrific job. To keep the students happy, many dilllerent meals must be planned and planned well. These two ladies realize this. and they provide excellent, well- balanced meals that suit the students' needs. Besides planning the meals. Mrs. Proctor and Mrs. Eakes must see that the personnel prepares the food within a limited time schedule be- cause once a lunch period starts. there is no rest for either one of them. If you want just a hotdog and milk or something on that order, the place to go is the Snack Bar. The Snack Bar Assistants on the front row are: Moodie Smith. Linda Robbins, and Joyce Cockrellg on the back row are: Frank Wartiszczik, Ike Proctor, Kent Taylor, and Jimmy Cooper. These eager assistants are always willing to help a student find just the right snack. They always greet one with a kind, May I help you? l6 ll is ,. E 0 i E. 2 Z . rl A. 'HX Q. .V 7 1, ..l XYZ R. M.
