(Heathers pwliiheh special serlhtes The library at WHS was an excellent center of information for students de¬ siring reference material or leisure-read¬ ing publications. With Miss Howard and Mrs. Leonard assisting students in lo¬ cating and selecting books and maga¬ zines, and with Miss Williams, also trained in library science, aiding those needing audio-visual aids, the library increased its usefulness in ’66-’67. The addition of several hundred books to the shelves, and the moving of the audio¬ visual room to the library department, helped greatly. Miss Rachel Howard, headed the library staff in ’ 66 -’ 67 . Mrs. Dimos headed the Guidance De¬ partment in ’ 66-61 and provided the students with many needed services. Ad¬ ministering tests, counseling students seeking information or advice, and as¬ sisting college-bound students in meet¬ ing entrance requirements were a few of her services. Mrs. Ann Dimos guided students in selecting courses and colleges. 24 Mrs. Mary Leonard, librarian, joined the staff in ’ 66 -’ 67 .

Through her efficient handling of records, compiling of reports, and answering both the telephone and the information seekers who sought her assistance, she earned the respect and appreciation of everyone at WHS. Mrs. Eris Bennett fulfilled her duties as attendance secretary efficiently and willingly through such services as contacting parents concerning absentee students, col¬ lecting attendance blanks, compiling the school bulletin, and handling excuses for students who left school during the day. She seldom had a spare moment, but she always found time to handle emergencies and answer countless questions from people in search of information. Her sendees made Williams High School a more orderly and pleasant place to be in ' 66 - 61 . MRS. ERIS BENNETT 23

hrmtghout the school ear. In the capacity of cafeteria manager, Mrs. Tomlinson prepared many appetizing meals. I Four custodians on our staff in ' 66-61 were John Stanfield, Annie Browning, William Walker and Louise Jefferies. Rendering invaluable service throughout the year the custodians named were always willing to lend a helping hand. Our apprecia¬ tion for their work and courtesies was shown to them by student participation in the Christmas Cheer Campaign. Working also for the betterment of our school was Sam Yarbrough. Under his lead¬ ership as facilities maintenance head, the school was kept constantly at a high standard. Another important figure was that of our cafeteria manager Mrs. Tomlinson. It was due to the coordination of efforts of the staff under her that many fine meals were enjoyed by WHS students and faculty. Sam Yarbrough adjusted speaker for an assembly program. 25
