It takes many people to run a school as large as Park. Services that students take for granted are performed quietly and efficiently behind the scenes: keeping records of the 2,200 people in the school, sending out college transcripts, and putting out daily absentee lists. Also, students are transported to and from school, fed hot lunches, and kept healthy-a big order. The building is kept clean and in constant repair. These iobs, exe- cuted by secretaries, bus drivers, cooks, the nurse, and custodians, all help to make life pleasant.
