Every morning they opened the doors, switched on the lights, and then swept the floors. The work did not end there. The custodians worked from before sunrise and remained until nightfall. There's more than 150 rooms including the two gyms that must be cleaned each day, said Harvey Washington, head custo' dian. Custodians came to work everyday to whip the building into tip-top shape. The work was not a short and each process. Every hour there was a new job to do. With STACKING THEM UP The janitors stack the chairs up on the tables to clear the floors for a sweep, cooperation from the students and faculty the custodians proceeded with the jobs smoothly. Maggie Morales stated, work- ing with young adults is fun because a ma- jority of them are respectful. The lunch monitors and custodians were also con- cerned with the activities going on within the school because a majority of them have experienced the treat of graduating from high school. I wish the seniors the best of luck in the future. stated Inez Greenless. Due to their hard work and pride our school was given the honor of being the cleanest high school at the end of the sum- mer contest and again in the month of Jan- uary.

And once again the juniors came out on top in the teams testing, which they had to pass in order to gra- duate. But in all the changes and confusion many students found time to get involved in various academic competitions, and to win many honors. When asked about being picked for Who's Who of American High School students, Shelly Van Scoyk replied, I was really sur- prised! l'm happy though be- cause l feel it's a great honor and I feel that l am in real good Looking For Homework . . .

Other students got involved by becoming a part of U.l.L. and Academic Decathlon. To get in the team you have to take a se- ries of objective test that either qualify or disqualify you for the team. said Shelly Throne. Whether or not you make the team, though, the class is still fun, and you learn alot, added Shelly. No doubt about it. Academ- ics and making the grade was very important to students. Though tutoring and after school study, many students tried to improve their grade. As they gradually come closer to their final goal of graduation. ACADEMICS
