VOL. XVI, NO. 4

What would Maine West do without its custodians? Not many people realize all of the hard work that the custodians do in keeping this school clean! At Maine West there are approximately 31 custodians and two matrons.

The custodians work in three shifts. The first shift begins at 7:30 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. During this time the men on the job do strictly maintenance work and take care of any problems that arise.

The second shift, beginning at 2:30 p.m., mainly takes care of cleaning and sweeping the classrooms. This shift ends at 11 p.m.

All the men working during the third shift take care of the gyms, locker rooms, spectator gym, and the auditorium. This shift runs from 11 p.m. to 7:30 am. Cleaning up at Maine West is a lot of work, and those students who insist on breaking things and causing trouble are no help at all.

The custodians working at Maine West are Mr. Joe Bawolek, Mr. George Bergquist, Mr. Wayne Beto, Mr. Eugene Dudek, Mr. Wilfred Finn, Mr. Henry Gross, Mr. Robert Janick, Mr. Steve Lesniak, Mr. Charles Little, and Mr. Joseph Montowski.

Still more are Mr. Robert Olson, Mr. Edward Quarnstrom, Mr. Harry Schertzing, Mr. Edward Spunder, Mr. John Witt, and Mr. Mike Zwolinski. The matrons are Mrs. May Bell and Mrs. Lillian Kelly.

All of these men and women are supervised by Mr. Herman Serone, head custodian, who says, "We try to do the best job we can in keeping the school clean."

Another custodian, Mr. John Witt, said that he believes 5A lunch period is the dirtiest and 6A lunch period is the cleanest.
