Personnel! 44 7 K ELMER REED MRS. EDNA CORBETT ALFRED EKAS Maintenance Supervisor Cafeteria Supervisor Transportation Supervisor Able, l-lardworking Staff Keeps West Deer Humming VVest Deer High School maintenance, bus, and cafe- teria personnel were commended for another line year, although they were also hindered by a bursting school population, limited staffs, and aging equip- ment. One ol' the biggest losses of the year was the resig- nation this spring of MR. EKAS, the transportation supervisor. Mr. Ekas had won the praise of all for his devoted and loyal service over the tnany years. His position was awarded to FRANK BARLOM7, another of the township's top vehicle experts. A much welcomed addition to the maintenance staff was MRS. HERMAN who did an especially good job in improving the daily appearance of the building. Once more MRS. CORBETT and her busy staff successfully handled all chores of preparing and feed- ing an average of over 500 ravenous students each day. An eiiicient school organization requires the hard work and loyalty of all concerned. West Deer was fortunate in having these top caliber people on its staff. L. CHIEF CHEFS-These cordial people are well known to all West Deer students for they -,S have the big job of preparing N and handling the daily cafeteria meals.
