Hekmt by Shasta Wyman The aides at SMI-IS are extremely im- portant to faculty and students alike. They take a great part in teaching and provide small group and one-on-one in- structions. One example is the students that speak English as a se- cond Ianguage. They teach and translate things for students. Reading teacher Janine Totta has four aides, Annie Perez has been with her for three years, Gloria Gierat, is new this year, Christina Bentley, is also new this year, and Mrs. Margaret Fox has been here three years as a volunteer. Ms. Totta said, I wouIdn't be able to Hands do my job without helpers. There are too many needs from different kinds of students. When asked why they chose this as a job they said that they like working with teenagers. Also, the Spanish and Mexican students are really nice. They get their personal rewards when a student gets a better grade. I feel so good when I see a student im- proving, said Annie Perez. She will be retiring with her husband this year, but she, just as the other aides, has receiv- ed great personal satisfaction from her job. .L V if -Q ag V. so ,L r .-i, V' f Val Williams Annie Perez 1.

Forward Yo! Mike Garcia goes cruising the campus on his Honda tractor. C ea Team by Shasta Wyman and Paula Kundinger V, Making San Marcos High School ff g t , the best looking school in north coun- T g ty is head custodian Mike Garcia's . goglhrcia Flon Ainsley and his crew of custodians pick up the trash on campus and do some maintenance, as well as keep the room clean. They helped install the portables and worked on keeping the rooms warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. The only problem Garcia can see is the matter of excess trash, especially after lunch. Garcia understands that a shortage of crew makes getting all the work done difficult. I enjoy working with the students and keeping the school looking good, inside and out, he said. Cafeteria manager Dolores Gibbons says her job isn't really hard - it's challenging. For the past four years she has planned the meals, ordered the food, cashiered and taken inventory. She chose this job because she likes working around students and Oh what a job! A custodian roams the campus in search of camp trash. if 'X . J. Li., , ,.,. .. Larry Campbell . i .

The only thing she dislikes is getting up at 4 a.m. to be at school 5'3O l There aren't really any problems in this job except minor things that we solve, she said. The cafeteria system has not changed much this year except that the staff is trying to give students more of a selection. Ne year remodeling will be done and it will be more efficient, helping students to get their lunches more quickly. Gibbons, who said she'll probably be a part of the staff forever, said, I like the system, but l'm glad it's improving. 194 Custodians
