AM Our Cafeteria StaH The lunch bell rings! A crowd of hungry students, regardless of the rebukes of the monitors, rush to the Cafeteria, grab trays, and begin to Hll them with good things to eat. To them this is the time to appease that empty feeling in their stomachs. They thing nothing of those who are responsible for the smooth running of the Cafeteria. The Cafeteria Staff, under the direction of Mrs. Blythe, have spent the morning pre- paring an appetizing array of food wl1icl1 they place temptingly before the students at a very reasonable cost. Not once, but at the signal of each of the seven luncl1 periods, these women are ready to serve the hungry groups. During the lunch periods the reg- ular staff is assisted by a group of students. In addition to supplying the students with wholesome food, the staff is always willing to cooperate with school activities, in which its help or the cafeteria equipment is needed. We are very grateful for the services of these women. Our Maintenance StaH Can you imagine Strong Vincent with- out a Janitorial Staff for just three days? What would be the appearance of the exterior and interior of our school? It is the duty of this staff to keep our school clean and comfortable. Each day after school they take particular care of the class rooms and the halls. The women, under the guidance of Mrs. Miller, better known as Anabel, work hard to keep the stairways, locker rooms, showers, girls, rooms, in fact every nook and corner, spic and span. Headed by Mr. Foy, the men take excep- tionally good care of the gymnasia, en- trances, lawns, and shrubs. They also have complete charge of the operation of the con- trol and projection rooms and the engineer- ing department. As well as performing their regular services, this efiicient group of men and women are always ready to support all of our school activities. The Janitorial Staff is indispensable to our school and we are proud of the way they are taking care of it.

Its enthusiastic President, her able assistants and their various committees have worked very hard to promote child welfare in the home, as Well as in the school and in the community. This year the theme of the P.T.A. was Building on the Past for the Future. In addition to the regular business routine of the meetings there are also vocal and orchestral selections, talks by prominent educators, and often refreshments are served. The Hattie M. Schabacker Stu- dent lioan Fund, which was founded in 1936, has filled a great need in supply- ing students with financial assistance so that they may further their educa- tion. The proceeds from She Stoops to Conquer,', which was given in the the Phoenix to the fund. citizens have school auditorium by Players, were donated Interested parents and also made considerable contributions. Entirely maintained by gifts, the fund about fifteen has now increased to hundred dollars, a large percentage of which has been given out in loans. Already it has aided eight students in securing higher education. The board endeavors to follow the student through with an annual loan. A fund as worthy as this ought to grow through the years and wc sincerely hope it will. The association has a large field for activity in the wel fare department, also. Here mothers help to raise money and other necessities which are given to needy students, Who, other- Wise would be unable to attend school. However, the Student Loan Fund and the welfare department are not the only interests of the P.T.A.
