MEET THE JANITOR
When the HIGH LIFE reporter cor
nered Henry, the janitor in charge of
cleaning, she found that he had several
trenchant remarks to make.
“Please do not throw paper behind
radiators, in the halls, or on the
grounds,” Avas Henry’s big request. He
also asked that the students “not throw
banana peelings on steps, halls, or class
rooms,” as the Science building maid
Avas absent, at the time of the inter-
vieAV, because of a sprained ankle she
received when she slipped on a banana
skin.
Henry and the tAvo cleaning maids
have found that the main building is
the hardest to keep clean, but there
Avere seAmral rooms which he mentioned
as being well kept. Those are the ses
sion rooms of Miss FarloAV, Mrs. Betts,
Miss Moser, Mrs. Avery, Miss Cason,
Mrs. Ruble, Miss Cohoon, and Mrs.
Smith.
Incidentally Henry suggests that we
use Mr. Routh as a model of good
housekeeping. He says that he has
“never seen a piece of paper on the
floor” in the principal’s office.
Henry also has very definite ideas
about that “budding romance,’ which
he has observed developing between
two neAV teachers. Well we hope that
the observance of this little affair will
help to make Henry’s work less dreary.
