Services aided curriculum The daily activities of students were made easier and more enjoyable by the administrative staff and their assistants. Student helpers relin- quished their study hall to assist in the library, clinic, and cafeteria. With the guidance of Mrs. lone George, director, the cafeteria women followed menus and cooked meals to satisfy the appetites of the students. Stu- dent helpers kept the cafeteria clean and operated the cash registers. Mrs. Muck and Mr. Linde, li- brarians, supervised the library, and student helpers ran errands, stamped cards, shelved books, and repaired damaged books. Miss Koester, school nurse, looked after the students’ health and her assistants helped by typing, recording, and filing the necessary reports. The office clerical workers were kept busy helping students and faculty with a multitude of problems. They also kept attendance records, recorded grades, and collected money. If student problems required personal guidance oV counseling, the counselors were available for consultations. The custodial staff were charged with the respon- sibility of keeping the school clean and the grounds tidy. These services became an integral part of the students’ lives at Argentine and furthered the ed- ucational process. Cafeteria employees: E. Williams, A. Day, L. Farrell, M. Carter, S. Maejia, M.
