By L©* Kubena
Activities this past week here
at school came to sort of a calm
spot in the schedule. This will
give me an opportunity to re-
cognize the people who play an
important role in the campus
life here at our school.
Primary on my list of those
who keep our establishment of
education open for the benefit
of our learning are the jani-
tors. For without them, there
would be nobody to wake up
early in the morning to bring
the keys to open it up for the day.
They are the ones we call up
in the middle of weekend to go
fish some important papers out
of the trash or find a lost book.
Heading the custodial staff is
"Poppa” Medina who has been
with our school system for many
years.
Mr. Gotcher and Mr. Marks-
bary are the two men respon-
sible for administrative duties.
They are the ones that get in-
volved in all parts of the prob-
lems of running a school. Since
their arrival last year both men
have brought new changes to
the policies of our school. They
are also Important to the tea-

chers because they are the ones
that hold the paychecks.
But the people who really
make this school what it is
are the faculty and student body.
I wish I had time to recog-
nize each and everyone of you,
even if you aren’t the type that
distinguishes oneself by parti-
cipating in a certain activity.
Only through your efforts can
the year be made an enjoyable
one.
Another department which
has a good deal of respon-
sibility in the running of the
school is the office secretar-
ies. They perforiki all the de-
tails of the paperwork part of
maintaining a school. One se-
cretary who has had a lot to
do with functioning of the school
In past years is Mrs. Barker.
In the way of news around
campus the only thing one picks
up is talk about the basketball
team and it’s quest for the dis-
trict crown. As many know, our
Panthers suffered their first
defeat in six games against the
Tuloso-Midway Warriors in
their first district playoff game.
This means our boys must win
this Tuesday here in our gym-
nasium and then travel to the
UCC campus and defeat the
Warriors to take the district
title. 1 am sure everybody will
turn out as well for those
games to support our boys as
they did last Friday when they
went down in defeat to Tuloso-
Midway team 59 to 51. Fans are
really expected to fill our gym-
nasium this Tuesday and if there
needs to be that third game,
which we all hope, I urge each
of you to Go to The UCC gym next
Friday to watch our Panthers
in their efforts.
