Year improves espit increase of individuals Despite the large numbers of students, everything went fairly well for the service personnel. Last year was a fine year for the students and faculty. Everyone was able to go about hisfher business without having to deal with the smell and the dangers of roof construction. Also, there were not as many complaints about temperatures in the class- rooms. With an increase in the student population, more garbage was found placed around campus. Of course, with all the extra students on campus we saw a lot more litter outside, said Fred Winters, head custodian. With an increase in the stu- dents came more jobs to do around the campus. Therefore, one more custodian was added to the janitorial staff. A total of 18 service personnel hussled around the school doing various jobs to make the campus life more pleasant. One of their many jobs was preparing all the classrooms for the new carpets which was installed. This did not prove to be a problem because the students were only out of their classrooms for one day as compared to several days during the root construction. by Cynthia Gonzales by 'F f i . r r V 4 f I.

li Cooks keep prices low, improve condition , nu With consistent prices through- out the years, new and improved items, and the help of 18 cooks and seven students servers, the cooking staff was able to make the cafeteria a success. Perhaps the largest contribu- tion to the cafeteria's success has been the consistent prices throughout the years. Such prices as Sl for combination lunch- es, 30 cents for both a pack of potato chips and for snacks such as donuts and pies, and Sl for all hot lunches have been in effect tor many years. According to Mar- tha Avitt, head cook, this was possible because We try to cook within the budget and we try to have very little waste at the end of the day. Along with cooking within the 840 budget, Mrs. Avitt tried to buy good quality food at the lowest possible prices. New food items also have been added to the menu. Along with the stable combination lunches and usual snacks, Texas Straw Hats, which were a pastry filled with beans, meat, cheese, and corn. Carried over from last year were baked potatoes and added to the salad bar were meat, eggs, and fruit. ln addition to the daily com- bination lunches, the cooks had their hands full on Tuesdays and Thursdays with making hot lunches such as enchiladas, ta- cos, and spaghetti. ln deciding what hot lunches to make, Mrs. Avitt said, We try to make what kids like best. We try to have a variety. To attract large amounts of students, the cafeteria had to be an inviting place to go. A clean cafeteria was one of the main aims of the cafeteria crew. Someone was always out there, said Mrs. Avitt. She found that students were helping with the cleaning task. Instead of leaving messes on the table, most students were courteous enough to pick up their trash after eating, she said. Mrs. Avitt also attributed the success of the cafeteria to her crew. With the help of all the girls working together, we are able to do what we do around here. We have a very workable kitchen, she said. by Cherie Cortez pm., ,,... ..., ww ..,,...,, . , 1 , yr-ug 'f,. .1 Mn-Jr '-', 1
