Besides having 3700 books for student information, the library provides tape record- ers, record players, and opaque projectors for student pleasure and inspiration. Working with Mrs. Louise Clark, the librarian, are 32 library assistants and Miss Sharon Gardner, an ASC student. Mrs. Ada Starrett, school nurse, is available two days a week to take care of not only students who become ill during school but also those who display hearing or vision defects in the classroom. The nurse sponsors the Medical Careers Club to encourage those students interested in further- ing their education in medicine.

The cafeteria staff and custodians play a big part in Sam Houston's daily life. Here are some behind the scene details. Each of the cafeteria workers has her own depart- ment and assistant. The daily menu is prepared by a dietitian who has a limited budget to work with. There are approximately 550 students served each day. The custodians also have gi busy schedule. Their jobs include cleaning floors and blackboards, emptying wastebaskets, and waxing and polishing floors. They work both day and night, five days a week, with shifts working from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., to help keep Big Sam neat and clean.
