The custodians are an extremely important part of a school staff, for students' and teachers' spirits are aided by a clean building and campus. Our senior high school is very fortunate in having an outstanding staff of custodians. However, we have become so used to their familiar figures that we are apt to forget the extent of their duties. By far the largest single task is keeping the school clean and in good condition. Our senior high has a reputation for cleanliness that is truly out- standing, and this is a credit to the entire school. The custodians also supervise the erection and dismantling of the basketball bleachers, besides working on the football field and at the games. While we students are out enjoying our vaca- tions, they are hard at work repairing the school building, painting, varnishing floors, and doing odd jobs on the room equipment. Each of them has a two week vacation during the summer. In our excursion into the huge, dark basement under the new building to find the Chief Cus- todian, Harvey Ramthum, we discovered quite a few interesting facts. The men custodians work rather long hours - from 6:30 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. And during one year the immense furnaces con- Harvey Ramthunz Q Chief Custodian sume 350 tons of coal - enough to heat an aver- age home for 45 years. Of course this coal leaves ashes which must be carried out - 500 cans full.
