Cafeteria Ladies Coneoct, Q. 'T l .aa INN The old grey mare ain't what she used to be, Roy VanBibben and Floyd Troutner admit as they haul targets to the range. Custodial Staff Cleans Trying to please the varying tastes of S-M West gourmets while producing grade A, well-balanced meals in accordance with state regulations was the dif- ficult job of the cafeteria staff. However, under the supervision of Mrs. Pauline Jennings, thirty-three women were equal to the task. Arriving early each morning, they baked bread, prepared food, and served approximately 1500 lunches during four lunch periods. Students could buy sandwiches, fruit, ice cream, and milk at the snack bar. For pizza lovers, the kitchen added a new machine to roll pizza crusts. The custodians formed another staff indispens- able to Viking activity. Shouldering the tremendous responsibility of repairing and maintaining the school building and grounds, Mr. Hopkins and his capable crew cut grass, shovelled snow, and prepared facilities for assemblies and public meetings. They operated the elevator to assist handicapped students in chang- ing classes. Delivering freight among the Shawnee Mission schools and forwarding West's mail to its pro- per destination also came under their jurisdiction. Custodians-Front row: R. Van Bibben, V. M.

Displaying great spirit and challenging ideas, the editors of Saga and Epic, West's two literary mainstays, and the leaders of the Pep Club and Stu- dent Council were followed by the cheerleaders who led a cheer welcoming all Vikings. In alphabetized homerooms, students paid numer- ous activity, towel, and book fees. After receiving their schedule cards, they compared teachers and room num- bers with friends while returning to crowded buses. Mr. Selves formally introduced the school year by a challenging - It's your life, what are you going to do with it? Ending the opening assembly on a note of encouragement, he played an NBC tape of six Viking alumnae, seeking to dispel unfavorable opin- ions of their contemporaries in today's society.
