EDNA CORBETT Cafeteria Supervisor rubini. taff Workers Keep Facilities Operatin moothl More and more students at West Deer High School meant more and more duties to perform for the hardworking maintenance, bus, and cafe- teria crews. In reality, their efficiency and loyalty to Their responsibilities results in a better educational en- vironment for all. Some top news of the year concerned the trans- portation supervisor's position, which had been handled for many years by Alfred Ekas. However, Mr. Ekas resigned in early summer, and the gi- gantic task of keeping the school buses rolling was assumed by Frank Barlow. Then, early this spring, Mr. Barlow resigned to work full time at his newly opened service station. The choice this time for being major domo of the West Deer school bus system was extended ito William Graham, well known for his many years as a member of the maintenance staff at the West Deer schools. Recently hired, Mr. Dalusio was named to the maintenance staff in Mr. Graham's vacancy.

Seniors Leadership, cholarship Distin uish Class of ,641 Leadership and scholarship were synonymous terms for the Class of '64. With a larger than average number of students ranking in the honors category, this distinction proved itself accurate throughout the years. Highest commendations went to the five stu- dents classified as the Top Five. This year they were Ann Catherwood, Marlene Verbetic, Virginia Kenyon, Nancy Hoffman, and Leo Zilla, all rank- ing with the most outstanding who have received West Deer High School diplomas over the years. The seniors themselves extended special tribute to the four proven leaders of the class whom they elected as officers. They were Joe Paskorz, presi- dent, Sheila Morrison, vice-president, Nancy Dyer, secretary, and Joe Bzorek, treasurer. The four earned a well done pat on the back for a truly active and ambitious senior year. The seniors won't forget the helpfulness of their class sponsor, Mrs. Schuster, who worked above and beyond the call of duty to make this last year of school a cherished one. CLASS ORGANIZERS-Leading the class in all activities were senior officers and their helpful adviser.
