George Gurklies, Edith Gillis, Ernie Althoff, Robert Morrison, Howard Walters, Dorothy Supinger, and Joyce Conley. These eight people are what keeps all areas of the high school clean. Because they do most of their work during classes, before and after school, nobody really knows how much they really do contribute to the school. Bob Supinger said that the hardest and most time consuming job they have is getting the school back into shape after the summer break. This consists of s X- 4 -1. w fi gi.

-Ed-ucato rs 1.-lr ,,,,aw. , ., .. , , . ---.-M H By GeriLynne Buechter Annual Staff Writer Students rush by dropping food, spill- ing milk, giving incorrect change, yet they remain emotionlessg aoics in a world of mass confusion. Who are these brave, unaffected souls? Why, the cafeteria workers of C0l1I'S6: and they all have their own reasons for being at Troy and their own likes and dislikes. Evelyn Bell expressed these thoughts, she said she works at the high school six and one half hours a day because of her chil- dren. She likes to have summers and days off with them. She also com- mented that she enjoys working at T.H.S. most of the time. Likewise she enjoys most of the students. Seemingly Mrs. Bell finds her days at T.H.S. rewarding for when asked if she has ever felt like quitting, she replied, Not really. Another cafeteria worker, Evelyn Wogoman, said that she chose Troy High School as a place for employment because, I have children in grade school and I want to be home when they are home. She stated that she comes to work at about 10:15 a.m. and, I work three and one-half to four and one -half She like Mrs. Bell, also enjoys the students. They pretty well behave themselves when they come through the line, she said. She also enjoys working at Troy High School. Newton retires after 21 years GN ever heard of pizza before By Gerilynne Buechter Bertha who? Never heard of her. This would have been a normal re- sponse of any T.H.S. student when questioned about the existence of a Miss Bertha Newtong yet, Miss New- ton, unknown to the students, was very necessary for their existence. Sie su- pervised the preparation of thier lunches, her official title being, Direc- tor of Food Service. This year, 1979-HJ, is Miss Newton's retirement. She first came to Troy in 1958, the same year the present Troy High School opened its doors. She arrived from Graham Consolidated where she had been a Home Ec. teacher. Before Miss Newton actually retired she made some comments about her many years at Troy. She remarked on the changes in the high school since her arrival, saying, There are a few more students now, not many more, but a few more. There were about nine hundred when I came here. she also said, We had an a-la-carte where they now play the music. She explained that there was a storeroom where the a-la-carte is now. In questioning her about the change of food she laughed, t'You never heard of pizza then. Miss Newton also said they never had to close the high school down because the cafeteria could not oper- ate, however, once there was a flu epidemic and, We had to shut down the entire school system. Sie went on to say this was the result of extensive illness at Van Cleve which included many cooks. Thus, the students had a break. YZ? .0- . Bertha Newton Suprisingly enough T.H.S. was once visited by prominent VIPS. Miss New- ton recalled when Arm Landers came here. It was a dirmer for five hundred and it was nineteen below zero. I thought it would be cancelled but it wasn't and everyone showed .up. She also stated that, T.H.S. was visited by such national and state celebrities as Phyllis Diller, Lowell 'I'homas, Hemy Youngman, Bob Braun, and Marion Spellman. Yes, it is highly probable that Miss Newton had and has many other such stories to tell. Yet, like the freshmen of 1958, the freshmen of 1981 will never hear them, for Miss Newton is now not only obscure she is gone.
