EVER-ENDING D TIES 0F ERVICE PERSGNNEL HELP ulVIICE BE ME ! ECAKSE of the efficient and loyal assistance of our service personnel, our school has been made Ha home away from homei, for students. ln charge of maintaining the cafeteria and of preparing meals was Mrs. Polly Brown, who has completed her thirtieth year of association with the city's schools. Mrs. Brown had a staff of four- teen this year, among whom was Mrs. Harriet Ham- ilton, whose skill as a pastry cook provided non- dieting students with delicious chunks of chocolate cake and huge wedges of hot apple pie. ln the cook- ing department were Mrs. Dorothy Ellison and Mrs. Esther Gianzero, who prepared mounds of mashed potatoes and salads. Counter girls included Mrs. Vera Orlando, Mrs. Aase Hasler, Mrs. Mina Small, and Mrs. James Cowan. All of the cafeteria staff helped make the lunch hour and the cafeteria a very pleasant place, indeed. L r- 1- 9 illrs. Brown, flzc director of the cafeteria, and fllr. Durso, of the custodial staff, de- bate recipes for favorite foods for amicen in our school, as zrcll as for the giants. rlliglzi it be a cheese soufle and a roasted ox frorzsl beef, 111680 daysj that they hare in mind, and cooks will S0011 have in pan? Mr. Bruce Franco, the head custodian, looks upon his duties as an opportunity to make our high school comfortable for all who use the huild- ing, and to keep the grounds attractive. Mr. Leon- ard Durso and Mr. Angelo Riviezzo, who were assistants to Mr. Franco at different times of this year, helped with the crews in charge of house- keeping, minor repairs, and inspections for safety. Among the others of Mr. l7ranco's staff were Mr. Angelo De Rosa, boiler-room attendant, Mrs. Grace Anderson, custodian of teachers? rooms and girls' locker rooms, Mr. Barney Doyle, general handy- man, and Mr. Bruce Valenti, genius at making new versions of lost locker keys in short time. Did any of them set mouse-traps? We wonder! 24

A complication of the duties of the custodial staff is the full schedule for the use of the school building. In addition to Co-curricular activities, our school is used for classes in adult education and for extension courses from New Paltz State Teachers College. Our local music associations. such as the Civic Music one, use the building often. Even on Sat- urday, it accommodates groups holding meetings or taking examinations. Work to keep it clean must be dovetailed with this busy schedule. is 5 5 CU!l'ff'fI.fl sluff members snzilc in UVZNCI-1JCllfI'0Il of a rcsf after busy bustle of serving numerous meals.
