A PART OF US FOREVER Mrs. Ab Strommen handles the financial end of the program. She collects 30£ per meal from each student, or sells them a ticket for the week for $1.25. The noon lunch program, which was re-established in 1943, has grown into a major operation. Serving an average of a thousand people a day, students aid the cooks in feeding the hungry hordes from eleven-thirty to two each day. Ac- cording to Mrs. Ludvigson, who is the head cook, the record for the noon lunch is well over twelve-hundred people. Next year there will be two cafeterias in operation. The present one will be for students and teachers using the elementary and junior-high on the South side, and the new school cafeteria will serve high school and Armstrong stu- dents and teachers. Mrs. Dunham, our school nurse, has been on her job since 1953. Previously she was head of the school lunch program when the present Ag. room was the cafeteria. Below are the cooks responsible for our meals: Mrs. Bloomquist, Mrs. Larson, Mrs. Ludvigson, and Mrs. Bakke. 11

 CUSTODIANS: Left to right: A. Stahn, R. Hoffman, V. Schultz, N. Lincheid, D. Anderson. Both the bus drivers and the custodians are a very necessary asset to any school; the bus drivers are re- sponsible for the students, and the custodians are re- sponsible for the building. Neither job is easy. The buses go out early in the morning and pick up the students, and this is a large responsibility. The cus- todians come to work very early in the morning and work into the night, they make sure that the school is kept clean, and the equipment is in good condition. Both of these groups are taken for granted most of the time, but because of them and their work, we can be very proud of our school. THEIR WORK WE TAKE FOR GRANTED BUS DRIVERS: B. Carsteson, W. Pierson, G. Dougherty, A. Coleman, P. Broste, P. Laingen. 12
