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

Because ol' the added emphasis on hearing and understanding the language, students and teach- ers are making much use oi' our thirty booth APN' language lab. the two smaller individual record- ing rooms, and our supply ol' tape recorders and record players. Filmstrips and supplementary - books and magazines enable the student to learn l not only the language but the customs and tradi- tions ol' the people who speak it. g' ,,., ,A gf., x Q, LMA- ..a , .
