SOLVE LUNCHROOM, MAINTENANCE PUZZLES Jigsaw puzzles with all the pieces in place pre- sent interesting pictures. When some segments are missing or jumbled, confusion results. Members of the Board of Education provide the lunchroom and maintenance services viewed as complete designs. Students and teachers welcome the harsh bark, Lunch!’’ interjected in the middle of fourth period. Lunch means a chance to eat, to clear their minds, and to relieve the tensions of the morning. But they do not see the scattered bits of the puzzle: planning by Mrs. J. C. Hunt and Mrs. Henry Forrest; the cooking and serving; Mr. J. P. Horn’s calling classes to the lunchroom and Mr. Bill Glenn’s signaling them to leave. In the same way, students each day take for granted a clean, neat building. No one pauses to wonder what happened to the piece of paper he threw on the floor yesterday. What he does not see is the Contract Cleaning Company, armed with brooms and mops, advanc- ing on the deserted school building at night. ABOVE: Mysterious lights on in various parts of the school and that white truck out front: the Contract Cleaning Com- pany has arrived. BELOW: Every night and on some after- noons, employees of the Contract Cleaning Company pick up trash, empty wastebaskets, and sweep rooms. 21

MRS. MARSHA QUARTERMAN Even a single straight line has character and can become a means of artistic illustration. Mrs. Marsha Quartcrman, art teacher, encouraged her students to use form, line, color and texture to express them- selves creatively. Blending knowledge from text- books and slides, her classes used what they had learned to create paintings, sculptures, sketches and decorations. Some utilized coat hangers to construct free-form wire sculpture, while others fashioned bright Christ- mas angels from flour, glue and old newspapers. Many a magazine fell to the mercy of a pair of scissors as students collected materials for colleges and mo- saics. When placed in a layer over the lines of a pic- ture underneath, shattered car panes produced stained glass window effects. Such examples of self-expression proved Mrs. Quarterman's belief that anyone has the ability to create, a belief she advocated this year at Valdosta High School and at Valdosta Junior High School. Junior artist Susan Hobbs puts the finishing touches on her study of Buddha. BY INSPIRING CREATIVE EXPRESSION 23
