Lack of funds hurt department Due to the lack of funds, the Service Personel Department was unable to purchase new equip- ment. We lService Personel Departmenti have been trying to get a new lawn mower, said Fred Winters, head custodian. lt seems like everything we want, we don't get because there are no funds and money. According to Mr. Winters, Tokay had a new pool cover that saved energy, but over 40 hours a month was spent on removing the cover. We have to put the cover on rollers and so it takes about two hours and 40 minutes to remove it, said Mr. Winters. According to Mr. Winters, 500 lockers were repaired during the summer which took about Z5 minutes for each locker. We repainted the bathrooms in the English 1.

According to Mr. Winters, the students were messier. Whenever there is an overpopulation, you have a problem, said Mr. Winters. lt takes a lot of man hours to clean. lf students would pick up their trash, we could spend more time painting and fixing things up. We could spend more time beautifying the campus. We just want to make Tokay the best looking campus in the Lodi Unified School District, said , , .

With the arrival of the new phone system, the secretaries had to learn how to use the phone all over again. With the four digit intra-district dialing codes, the process of calling other Lodi Unified Schools was made easier. lt was a tough bout trying to learn to correctly use the system. The phone system created a big problem at first, but after a while everyone learned to use the system, and then everything was okay, said Betty DePalma, attendance secretary. Another item that created a commotion was the changing of counselors' schedules. Counselors 4 were assigned to split sessions just like the students. Along with the new counselor schedules, Henry Mellon, head counselor, established many new pro- grams. Mr. Mellon was working out very well. He had establishetl many new programs, and changed many procedures dealing with new students, said Nancy Becker, counseling secretary. Thanks to organization and new programs, it was easier to contact parents and students, about problems. Adult and student contact had become much better. Students were fun to be around. Working in the office was never dull or routine, said Mrs. Becker. by Andy Andris photos by Sally Limbaugh If 54 .TWA W- ' 3.
