The cooks and custodians at Shelbyville High School deserve credit for the efficient jobs they did. Long before ,classes began, the cooks started preparing .lunch for approximately 740 students and 36 teachers. A warm meal or a snack lunch was offered each day under the supervision of Mrs. Avonelle Branson, the dietician. VVith only a half hour' for lunch and relaxation, students and teachers appreciated being served quickly by the cafeteria staff. The custodians under the supervision of the head custodian, Harry Tucker, who has held that position for 22 years, 'kept an around the clock watch over our school. They worked at repairing jammed lockers, heating the school, helping the cooks, and cleaning and maintaining the building. The job of the junior high school staff is much the same, and in addition they must take care of the Paul Cross Gym. I. H. S. CUSTODIANS Mearl Kohler and Clark James.

Second-year Spanish students hear and repeat pattern drills to leam grammar, and dialogs to learn conversation. Use Ot Labs Develops The Language Arts I FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The addition of a language laboratory at S.H.S. was a highlight of the year. The spoken language classes - Spanish and French - used the lab several days each week during the second semester. The lab contains 30 individual sound booths with earphones and volume controls, ten of which have recorder sets. Speaking the language separately soon provides the students with better pronuncia- tion ability, and it gives the teachers - Miss Nancy Cuskaden, Spanish, and Mr. Alan Coyner, French - a good idea of each student's efforts and talents. French students wrote term papers as a special project for the year. The theme could concern any subject having to do with French history, art, or science. For the first time at S.H.S. there was a third year Spanish class, which read Spanish editions of American magazines, short stories by famous Spanish authors, and practiced speaking and writing the language. Because Latin is principally a written language, these students did not use the lab but relied mainly on reading materials. Mrs. Dorothy Ply1nate's Romans studied the conquests of Caesar, his diary, and Roman mythology. On a few unusual days, third year Latin students could be seen in the halls of S.H.S. in various styles of Roman togas, preparing to present original plays. A few of the plays were Mr. District Attorney, Cicero VValks with WVashing- tonf, and Lincoln at Midnight. Students increase their reading rate by using the shadowscopes in the developmental reading lab. 20
