''I've returned home," Mr.
Roland Thomas, building
supervisor, said, referring to
his being in the first
graduating class from WMHS.
Coming here from Swartz
Jr. High, Mr. Thomas
supervises a staff of five
custodians, 12 maids, 12
manpower workers, and nine
concession workers. This is
the largest staff ever working
at WMHS, and he terms his
maintenance crew "the best in
Louisiana."
Among the repairs this year
were filling in potholes in
parking lots, improving
drainage in front of the
school, and construction of a
classroom from a storeroom.
''I'm always on call," said
Mr. Thomas, whose regular
hours begin at 6 a.m. and
usually conclude about 6 p.m.;
however, special activities
require that he sometimes be
at the school until 1 a.m.
