Student Congress at Work • STUDENT CONGRESS • The purpose of the Student Congress is to promote student participation in service to the school and enable a larger group of students to become acquainted with the problems of the school and to help solve them. Two representatives from each grade were chosen by class officers of the previous year. The seventh grade elected its representatives the sixth week of school. Additional members to the Congress were elected the second week of school from the home rooms, one from each home room. Committees appointed for the year were: Air Raid, Student-Faculty Relations, By-Laws, Indoor, Outdoor, Senior High Assembly, Junior High Assembly, Interschool. These committees investigated the situations and problems of the school, then reported the information discovered to the government body. The problems were discussed and probable solutions presented. This information was reported to all second hours through second hour representatives. The Congress, this year, worked with other community organizations, interested in the welfare of the district, in establishing a youth center. Members took charge of the Stunt Night ticket sales and contributed half the proceeds to the youth center movement. The officers for the year were: Raymond Miller '44, president; Donald Braun '44, vice-president; Carolyn Whipple '44, secretary. Miss Myrtle McCormick and Earl A. Moody were the faculty repre- sentatives. 9 • ARGENTIAN '44

All Q- FRIENDLY WELCOME X ?. And now as you enter the Argentine High School we would like to take you on a personally conducted tour through our classrooms and building. Much of the work in the high school office consists of keeping accurate attendance records, accurate and complete scholarship records, and detailed financial records. Enrollment problems which involve a com- prehensive testing and guidance program, services of various types to the public, the teachers and the stu- dents, and an alertness to the many little details which are ever present,—all of these are responsibilities of the office force. Argentine High School has two full-time clerks, one acting as general clerk and the other as record clerk or registrar. Ten senior girls assist for one hour each. This staff serves as the center around which much activity occurs. OFFICE MISS JANET CLARK General Clerk MISS MARGARET PENNY Registrar MR. J. C. HARMON Principal •

• AIRPLANE MECHANICS • With the addition of this North American 0-47 observation plane to the airplane engine mechanics department, Argentine began a new course in airplane maintenance, taught by Warren A. Swartz, who came from Santa Barbara, California. The four-ton two-cockpit plane was borrowed from the war department through the National School of Aeronautics in Kansas City, Missouri. Along with the plane in the class are one 1150 horse power Allison engine used in P-38, P-40 and P-39; two Pratt-Whitney engines, one Ranger engine, one Wright Cyclone 1300 horse power engine and other airplane accessories. The plane was built by North American Aviation and originally used in study at the aviation school by members of the army air corps. Classes in airplane engine maintenance are for four hours, three hours of practical work, with one hour of related information, then two one-hour metal classes. Argentine is the only school in Kansas City, Kansas, to offer such a program. ARGENTIAN '44 • 10
