keep famoloi running .fmootlal . The water sprays gaily over sidewalks as students hurry from class to Class. Friendly greetings ring out to Vlverner Heuhel and his assistants. Daniel Alanis and Clifford Younger. The new vines on the North Campus represent a good example of the many things they have done. Two hells ring and Jimmy Tysl goes to the vice-prineipal's olliee to answer. From carrying packages for teachers to moving large eans of waste paper. Jimmy's men are a hig help. Vlvhen Jimmy is not on the main eampus. he is over on the north eanlpufz helping Leslie Sollee and Leonard lieard keep those rooms as niee as possihle. Not many girls know Alfred Yan Tine. who works with the shop hoys to keep their shops among the eleanest rooms in the school lmuilding. Harry Hager is known to many students as. Wfhe man who keeps the Vikes' lnnfi Their side trips to that establishment dur- ing Classes end in failure when Harry is eleaning. After sehool is out lfelix Onitveros. lfrnest Neakes and lid- ward Saxhy are still turning over desks and reading small items of news from the floors of the rooms. lfnxma Johnson works upstairs keeping our rooms Clean and sparkling lor our educational enjoyment. Hattie Nagelhout eomes from the rooms in the upstairs of the main building to give passing persons a cheery hello. The eafeteria also has some wonderful personalities. lfranees Marklin has won national aeelaim for her recipe for the lflying Saueers served in our own Cafeteria. lflla Brown. Carol Holer- man. Cora Moody and lfdna Peattie. who pass out those de- lieious hamhurgers. are to hlame for the musele distributed around SANIUHI. These worthy ladies have given us a good reason for wanting to exercise in the gym classes. Hose Atkins watehes out for misplaeed sweaters and purses in the Girls' Gym. while Lemuel Fiore sees that similar proceed- ings do not oceur in the Boys' Gym. SANIUHI would not he eomplete without these wonderful per- sons. A smile from a student is worth more to them than even an appraising of their work. This girl came back today. Agnes Frazer checks with Mildred Dean on attendance. Bulletins and filings do not keep Mrs. Skelton from smiling. Mrs. Dandurand likes being an operator, but it keeps her busy. Helping us fo keep SAMOHI looking lovely is the job of this group. The cameraman does not stop the smooth running of the Deans' offices. 'gm Y 'ww I2 13 li 19 20 21
