■■I While Miss Sob’ola struggled to maintain peace and quiet in the library, twenty students forfeited their study halls to work as library assistants. Their duties included filing books and cards, finding periodicals for students, checking out library materials and assisting students in locating materials. Without their assistance, the availibility of many library materials would have been greatly hampered. In an effort directed at making the library a better place to study, the Student Council pushed for open study halls. This would have let talkative students go somewhere other than the library. Efforts, however, were not successful, and several students were still seen three hours in a row signing out from study hall to study in the library. As Lisa Mezzenga checks the card file, Art Thompson gets reference material assistance from Marsha Magnuson. Library Functions for Study, Relaxation Exercising her duties as librarian.

Behind an unusually clean desk, Miss Binkard keeps her record of student illnesses up to date. Efficient Office Keeping VHS students healthy was the main concern of the nurse's office. While the assistants worked on keeping student health records up to date, Miss Binkard made spot checks on the students' ears and eyes. Vaccination shots offered by the school allowed students to bring their own medical records up to date. A new absentee policy required students to report to the nurse's office after an illness before checking with the attendance office. Besides picking up attendance slips, the office assistants did odd tasks for Mr. Smith and Mr. Elias. They numbered and stamped new books, and alphabetized records. Punching program cards for next year's class schedule kept Theresa Gray busy, while Mrs. Ciesla devoted her days to fulfilling students' needs that ranged from scotch tape to dimes for phone calls. She also added a few laughs by accidentally gossiping over the school intercom. A new secretary, Mrs. Linda Fjeld also joined the office staff and assisted Mr. Elias. Against a background of student art work, new VHS secretary Mrs. Fjeld catches up on her typing chores. 13

Student Needs Met Behind the Scenes Keeping the cafeteria line moving, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Hol-ien and their lunchroom helpers assemble a hearty lunch. COOKS. LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Holien, Mrs. Dahlin, Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Merry. Appeasing the appetites of 700 hungry students kept the VHS cooks busy from before school until 2:30 every afternoon. To add variety to their work, three new meals were devised: pronto pups, mini-pork chops and hamburgers. The year was not without excitement as a tray of potatoes was dropped, and a fire started in the oven on a meat loaf day. The new school facilities heaped additional responsibilities on VHS custodians. Besides the usual tasks of controlling air circulation and temperature, and cleaning rooms and corridors, the men were responsible for filtering and cleaning the pool and adding disinfectants to the water. Auditorium duties involved cleaning up after various performances and changing numerous light bulbs. The coming of spring found ''Jim the Janitor dragging Bob Gagne for the lawn mower racing championship. Most races were held when custodians mowed the new baseball fields. CUSTODIANS.
