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 , , .

Staff makes sweet recipe With an average of 200 or more lunches per day, the cafeteria cooks were kept hopping as they baked, boiled, brewed, and basted. lt seems like we're cooking more and more and more. l don't know where all the students are coming from this year, said Martha Avitt, head cook. Beginning as early as 5:45 a.m., the staff was kept on a continuous working schedule. lt's been very busy from the beginning. We're serving a lot more students then last year. Every lunch is frantic, but l think it works out real well, said Cook Becky Octave. The problem of preparing fresh food for each of the five lunches, while ensuring that present students were served and the dishes washed, was no easy task for the kitchen workers. According to Mrs. Avitt, she was thankful for the student help. Overall, 13 students helped out in the kitchen washing dishes, wiping tables, and serving on the line. Senior Tonia Sisson was positive about working in the kitchen and how it was run. lt's a good crew. They work well together, and they're nice and pleasant. Mrs. Avitt agreed that the staff of girls worked well together, especially since they were baking so much more than usual, in fries alone they served 1,678 servings per day. l think that students are eating more on campus then off, which l hope is the truth, said Mrs. Avitt. Not including the 13 student helpers, there were a total of 17 ladies who put the kettle to the metal. They were: Emma Berg, Betty Blankenship, Ella Buethe, Claudia Cagle, Alvina Heapel, Diana Hogue, Robin Koinzan, Celia Kolb, Darlene Kukendall, Bessie Mahl, Joan Mansu, Anna McCormach, Marie Medford, Becky Octave, Marge Putman, June Shipley, and Jeanne Wood. l have a very good working group. They're very flexible and it seems that whenever a crisis arises, they're there and we work through it,'7 said Mrs. Avitt. by Robin Saxen photos by Mike McMurray 1.
