Caring for ur School The hands of the cafeteria staff are always busy preparing meals, which are not only tempting, but also are filled with vitamins and proteins, ne- cessities in the diet of busy high-school- ers. Gaiety is added to lunch time by the staff on Halloween, Christmas, Valen- tine's Day, and on other occasions when the staff appropriately decorates the cafeteria and makes special meals and desserts, thus creating a more re- laxing and pleasant atmosphere for the students as they eat. Taking time out from the preparing of lunches are the cafeteria staff: seated from I. to r. are: Olive Elliot, Mary Grocki, Sarah Hamilton, Mildred Barrett, and Jeannette Eckert, standing from I, to r. are: Isabel Bucko, Doris LeBrun, Marion Doty, Charlotte Jacobson, Mary Maize, and Lillian Engle.

Mr. Sullivan retired during the year. The custodians have the task of keeping the school building and the grounds neat and attrac- tive. Their hands are kept busy washing windows, sweeping floors, and making repairs about the school. Theirs are the hands that lift the shovel in the winter and push the mower in the summer. Just a quick glance at West Side High shows that these men have done an excellent iob. The custodial staff consists of A. Guidetti, F. Gawron, N. Angelides, fall three pictured at the leftl H.

Serving in a Variety of Ways A special feature of our school is its library of some 6,000 volumes, especially designed to fit the needs of young people of today. Our school librarian, Miss Alice Burkhardt, is familiar to all students at West Springfield High School. Miss Burkhardt's primary aim is to acquaint the students with the fa- cilities offered by the library so that they may be able to do research more easily. Two student librarians, Robert Green and Nancy Haskins, are shown learning the fundamentals of how a li- brary is organized and operated. A fully accredited driver education pro- gram is available as an elective to qualified students at West Springfield High School. Principles of good driving, road safety, and road courtesy are taught as well as actual behind-the- wheel driver training. Mr. James Erick- son, driver education teacher, is iustly proud of the record of those who have received their licenses under his direc- tion, and of his contribution to the safe- ty of the community. Here, Mr. Erickson prepares to go out on the road with Linda Webb at the wheel of the driver education car. Our school is fortunate to have the full time services of a nurse, Miss Ger- trude Bradley, who is always available and willing to help students in need of medical attention. Under her guid- ance, sight and hearing tests are given, physical examinations are conducted, and special services such as TB tests and polio vaccine programs are of- 'erecl to students. me-ne 'RL
