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.
