The patzknt FACULTY taught over all the comtruction nozlref UNDER THE PROGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP of the ad- ministration, our educational program has continued to grow at a rapid pace. The Board and Mr. Price made considerable effort to obtain and keep a faculty having high qualifications and teaching standards. While all our teachers have their bachelor's degree, approximately half of them also hold their master's degree. In order to meet the ever-changing demands of a mod- ern curriculum, each member of the faculty belonged to one of eight committees. At their various meetings, dis- cussions were held on such topics as reports to parents, Career Day, scholastic achievement, industrial education and agriculture, social studies, financing classes and or- ganizations, English, and science. Adult evening classes were held again this year. These sessions, taught by the high school instructors, covered the fields of agriculture, home economics, and typing. Often our teachers took time out from grading tests to work at basketball, football, and track games or to chap- erone at dances. Many of them devoted valuable hours to class and club meetings. The Faculty Council, relatively new at MHS, is a group of teachers elected to serve as intermediaries for the faculty and the administration. Three teachers served in this capacity this year. Although six new teachers joined the staff in Septem- ber, the total number remained, as last year, at twenty- eight. Their home towns ranged from Portland, Oregon, to New York City, and from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Kirksville, Missouri, Members of the Faculty Council for 1957-1958 are Lloyd Doeniei, Assistant Principal, Maude Strauss I. W. Price, Principal, Ioyce Gilbert, and Stephen Warren ! 9
