Aides Wade Through Paperwork The faculty aides are four women who have the difficult jobs of doing the paperwork which is so desperately needed at any high school. Mrs. Frances Gamble and Mrs. Joan Smith work in the attendance of5ce, and if you think that's easy, what would you do at 8:31 in the morning when in walk thirty-five tardy students? Or what happens when you lose three boys who were marked absent in two out of five classes? Can you imagine working in the library all year? Mrs. Betty Myers can. She comes in contact with students all day long, assisting them in their search for suitable books. Mrs. Patsy Williams is the cute young woman who you see when you walk into the main office. Even though she has a telephone on one shoulder and is typing a letter she still manages to smile and ask in the brightest way possible, May I help you with something'?', Teachers attended and enjoyed the football pep rallies on Friday mornings. Below: Mr. Bill Witter, Mr. Bill Stack, Mrs. Judy Adams, Mr, Bill Dabney, Miss Barbara Trowbridge, Miss Ruby McPherson, Mrs. Frances Gamble, and Mrs. Joan Smith look at fans and fighting Cowboys. aides 25

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. Mrs. Harp is also the sponsor of the Bookaroos, McCollum's library club. 24 administrators
