First it was Mrs. Anne Vasilcik Klukasczewski who resigned her position in June as head secretary in the superintendent's office. ln August she and her husband became the proud parents of a baby daughter. Then in September, Mrs. Marion Schiberl Pussic gave up her job as secretary to the principal in the fast and furious downstairs high school office. Three months later, in December, the Pussics also gave birth to a future West Deer High cheerleader. Taking over as head secretary in the superintendenfs oflice was Miss Louise Mennow after only a year's experience as an assistant. Her ability on the job and her cordial ways were soon acclaimed by all at West Deer. Hired as an assistant was a top member of the Class of '59, Miss Marcella Broglia. She too learned the ropes quickly and became a valuable asset to the West Deer staff. Replacement for Mrs. Pussic turned out to be a vet- eran member of the office force, Mrs. Mabel Angeloni.

72,000 Servings az Yeczrl... Cafeteria Again Ranks High The hands of the clock are approaching THAT TIME. lt's becoming increasingly difficult to concen- trate on lessons. A bell rings and the class is off to the cafeteria! Another of the three 30-minute lunch periods has begun. Before the three meal periods conclude, 420 students will have purchased the 30-cent, nutritionally balanced meal . . . and all will have returned to their classes, rarin' to continue the day's activities now that their appetites have- been satisfied.
