WE AIM TO PLEASE! The cafeteria aides don’t have an easy job. Everyday they are there working in the lunch room, whether it be as a cashier or as a tray worker. These Tech students have important responsibilities. The cashiers must be able to give you the right change quickly so that the lunch lines will run smoothly. The students who are in charge of the trays have to make sure there are enough trays for everyone. If not, they have to wash more and get them out in the lunch lines so that time won't be wasted waiting. We would like to thank the cafeteria aides for do- ing such a fine job. Front Row: Kevin Belder, Carole, Linda Labby. Middle Row: Michael O'Brian, Barbara Gilbert, Barbara Maynard, Patty laFleur, Diane Rugani, Diane Arena, Joe Disa, Darlene Arena, Robin Wright. Back Row: Barbara Gilbert, Kenny Theriault, Kathy Sheneare. 8 Ms. Bellardo and a group of stu- dents have an Art Service pro- gram. This program provides pic- tures, posters, and any other kind of material needed. They have helped with the fashion-talent show Totally Hot. They made posters and helped with the sce- nery. They also helped the year- book this year. They made a chart for us to keep track of our ad sales. Shirley White also made a poster of a tiger that is on the yearbook room's door. This group works hard to help out many dif- ferent organizations and are very appreciated. The art service consists of Michael Brunt, Shirley White, Mitchell Boyd. 21
