-.- ,-N 7- .. -- ,N -.. - ., ... ,X AWARE of the potentialities of Bob,,, the average American boy in second hour math class, the Shawnee-Mission faculty worked to develop as individuals the doctors, lawyers, and business-men of tomorrow. Opening new pathways of knowledge in fields of language and literature, science, vocational arts, business, social science, and fine arts, the faculty saw reflected in their students living proof of the familiar proverb, From knowledge comes understanding. The many hours spent working after the dismissal bell had rung, the endless thoughtfully graded tests and themes, the faculty discussions con- cerning student welfare . . . these were their efforts. , To see in their students the birth of an idea, principles which they have striven cease- lessly to teach, to have the satisfaction that comes from being able to enlighten and in- spire . . . these were their rewards. Throughout the year, using progress as their guide, they counseled, coached, and guided. We present them to you on the pages that f ollow-our faculty. khan ' Rh ga S5-f W W 6' y W W

Assembled in faculty meeting, these teachers discuss school problems and hear various committee reports. Miss Seaton, Mr. Hemphill, Mrs. Noel, Miss Slaten, Faculty Club officers, pause to smile. FACULTY CLUB ACTS WIiAT do the terms 'izone schooli' and iitriangular membershipn mean to you? What are the proposed '53 legislative measures? These questions and others were answered by the Shawnee-Mission Teachers' Association this year--a long step from the readin', writin', and 'rithmetic paramount in the days of the little red schoolhouse. Discussions of state and national educational policies and local questions pertaining to salary, teacher load, retirement security, and similar items furnished material for group study. Educational panels were not always the order of business, however, as Hall work and no play makes even Mr. Educator dull. An occasional get-to- gether allowed ample opportunity for social contacts. Functioning in its sixth year as an organization, the faculty club was directed by seven committees under the leadership of Orval E. Hemphill, presi- dent, Velma Seaton, vice-president, Mildred A. Noel, treasurer, and Lenell M. Slaten, secretary.
