cant amounts of data were entered into several programs in the instructional resource center. Jack Harmon led several students through a very successful cross-country season. Glenna Wilmot kept a core of volunteers busy producing educa- tional materials. Pat Thomas produced exciting graphic arts designs for numerous NMSVH pro- jects, including many items for the newly-formed foundation. Wanda McLain showed her school spirit frequently and earned the reputation as “best-costumed” faculty member. Carol Hoyt and her infirmary staff kept us all healthy and well throughout the year. Bill Steele and Joe Martinez and the maintenance crew kept us “looking good” as always. Lupe Romero boosted spirits with her friendly smile and “sunny” disposition. Chris Spanovic kept us motivated and inspired with a variety of artists making frequent visits to the cam- pus. Larry Meier and his kitchen staff offered delectable meals week after week in the dining hall. Helen McNeil set a new record for answering the phone at NMSVH. Serving as receptionist in administration, she kept us connected with all the right people. Speaking of records, some say Lorine Gomez did quite well for herself sorting and folding laundry in Jack Hall. Jane Korzan learned a great deal about computer language this year. Or was she really playing “Pac Man” all that time? Margarita Najar kept Jack Hall clean and shining despite the heavy use it gets. And who kept all these activities running right on time? Many folks will tell you it was Pat Kraft, education secretary.

Bev Briggs kept student council on track with various projects. Irene Kowatch treated the residents of Sacramen- to dorm to a series of Saturday night home- cooked meals. Her specialty was rumored to be sopapillas with lots of honey. Marilyn Woods went on the road with the 7-Ups. One weekend included a performance for Governor Toney Anaya. Mark Carter was the recipient of more publicity than anyone on campus. His pictures seemed to show up everywhere. Diane Wareman and her students created many exciting button-making activities. Argelia Duran whipped out some mouth-watering goodies for “special sweet-treat time’’ in Garrett dorm. Goldie Caldwell and Eva Montoya gained the reputation as “super moms” in Jack Hall dorm.
