Always working for the better- ment and welfare of the Winfield Public Schools is our persevering superintendent, Evan Evans. Public relations as well as school activities are among the interests of Mr. Evans. He is president of the Winfield Civic M u si c Association, chairman of the Kansas Commission on Aviation Education, chairman of the Kansas State Teachers Association Planning Commission, chairman of Committee on Citizenship of the NEA, and Membership chairman of the new- ly-formed National Aviation Education Council of the AASA. Mr. Evans' capability and enthu- siasm for Winfield Schools, his inter- est in people, and his never-tiring effort will always be remembered. Evan Evans --- Superintendent Dr. W. F. Bernstorl Dr. Wendell A. Grosiean Mr. W. J. Franks Mrs. Gary Olds Mrs. Ben Gralapp Mrs. Gene Wilcox Page Six Herbert C. Hawlc --- Principal With his everlasting patience and sense of fairness, Herbert C. Hawk carried out his nineteenth year as prin- cipal of Winfield High School. Although Mr. Hawk is chairman of the Ark Valley Athletic Association, president of the Winfield Oratorio Society, vice-president of the State High School Principals Association, and president of the Kansas School Masters Club, he is always available for friendly advice and counsel. His ideal student body is one that is thoughtful of others, and whose members all are practicers, not preach- ers of good sportsmanship.

In Memory ot Miss Burdette With poise and efficiency Miss Anna Lois Burdette went about her Work in school and community, ever on hand in daily routine or in emergency need. During the war Miss Burdette was well-known as the faithful head of the USO canteen. She also served as chairman of the Red Cross canteen. Many a boy and girl will have a better appreciation of home and homemaking because of her inspiration. She was never too busy to answer questions or give understanding at- tention to problems of students and teachers. We are all richer for having known Miss Burdette and poorer for having lost such a wonderful counselor and friend. Anna Lois Burdette Page Nine Senior Planning Committee Senior Planning Committee of 1950- 51 was under the leadership of Steph- en Archer, class president: Jim Smith, vice-president, Janice Kuhns, secre- tary, and Miss Grace Karr, sponsor.

Curly Vaughan who has mentored tennis at Winfield the past 34 years. Although, at press time, the regional and state tourneys had not been held, Mr. Vaughan's racquetmen held strong potential spots in both.

The Vikings were undefeated throughout the season exer- cising long wins over every opponent.
