By the time students were transported to school early each morning by their prompt and ever-smiling bus drivers, janitors had temporarily completed the task of cleaning the building. Secretaries presented students with numerous sendees. Making out absentee slips kept main office secretaries employed during morning hours. While a visual-aids office secretary provided classrooms with films, secretaries in the counselors’ office made appointments for a daily average of 40 students to see counselors. Height, weight and eye checks kept the nurse and her secretary continuously occupied. In the supply room a yearly average of 1,500 book covers was sold. Personnel remained active during lunch periods too. Although lunch and milk tickets were sold daily, Monday’s selling records were almost always the highest. Meanwhile, the cooks had prepared lunch. Several students spent their lunch hours in the library doing homework, projects or merely reading. Through indirect cooperation, personnel created an atmosphere of stimulation.
