Aware . . . Vital . . . Persistent . . . Giving . . . Mrs. Lura Myer lists her position as registrar, but, in fact, she does much more than the title implies. At the first of the year, she fills classes, schedules students to various classes, and changes schedules after classes are actually attended and some students find this class not to be what they expected. After the first weeks of school, Mrs. Myer's job becomes more involved, but just as busy. lf you go into the main office, you find Mrs. Myer helping Mr. Shannon, assisting students with transcripts, transferring students to and from other schools, and doing general work assisting the faculty members. Mrs. Myer attended lncarnate Word College where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. uWhat can I do a term paper on? c'Do you have any books on Civil Rights'?,' Where are the books on the Crusades? These are only a few of the questions Mrs. Ophelia Harp, librarian, hears daily. Mrs. Harp has the responsibility of knowing what books are in the library, what books are needed, and what books are suitable for reading. She also has to know good topics for term papers, what books are best for book reports, and many other bits of information students and teachers need. Mrs. Harp has been with the McCollum population since the school first opened. Receiving her Bachelor of Science and Masters in Education, she attended the University of Denver, Sul Ross, South-West Texas State College and Our Lady of the Lake College.
