Show Maintenance Of Schools Shows Progress By ElVin Barker, Maintenance Supervisor We, who are in charge of school buildings, and grounds receive satisfaction sat-isfaction from the fact that our Duchesne County schools are looking look-ing better from year to year. This is brought about largely because the School Board has provided year-round employment for all custodians. They make up the summer maintenance crew that go from school' to school during the summer vacation, painting, cleaning, clean-ing, repairing, improving and giving giv-ing each school that new and better bet-ter look that provide for a wholesome whole-some setting and atmosphere for learning. Much attention is given to soft, pleasant color-tones. The floors, desks and equipment are made to sparkle so that when school is in session all will say, "This is a pleasant place to be."

We felt especially good about the way our buildings looked when school began this year. With the new additions at Altamont High and Elementary and new construction construc-tion to begin soon on Roosevelt Junior High we feel Duchesne County is meeting the demand of better schools. |
