Included on this staff are our school custodians and cooks, the office secretaries, the nurse, and the librarians. The work of the custodians and cooksg of Miss Christenson, Mrs. Klaiber, and their secretaries in the officesg of Mrs. Starnatakis, the nurse, and Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Sarsten in the library, and of Mrs. Barton, who has done such wonderful Work with Wilson's handicapped students, is of the sort that often goes unnoticed. However, it should not go un- appreciated, for without it Wilson would be unable to function.
