Mustang grew This year instead of having a staff do all jobs for just one sec- tion of the annual, separate lay- out, copy, photography, and ad- vertising staffs did their particular jobs throughout the book. If was hoped that better continuity would result. Delivery date was changed from May to August. In order to cover expenses of a larger year- book this year, the staff sold activities calendars. All these things were put into action to try to make this edition of the Mustang better and to give addi- tional coverage. Deciding how each page waj to be arranged was the job of the layout staff which consisted of Judy Waitley, laurel Blythe, Donna Clune, and Cheryf Barker, editor. Sharon Wohlford, Karron Dyer, editor, and Connie Nickum, the advertising stoff, sold space in the Mustang to moke money for a larger yearbook. Pictures ore important to a good year- book, and Phil Yoder, photographer, made them possible. Many long hours of thinking and typing were spent by Lois Skaggs, Ruth Lietzen, Linda Overton, editor, and Potty Marvin, who were the copy staff. 16

Dr. O. L. Pluckcr mot with Mr. W. R. Channell in the latter's office. Administrative heads faced problems Over the desk of Mr. Channell, many problems must be solved throughout the school year. In the picture above, W. R. Channell, principal at Argentine High School, and Dr. Orvin L. Plucker, superintendent of the Kansas City, Kansas school system, discuss some of these problems. Perhaps it was the problem of not enough classroom space. Perhaps they were considering what the Urban Renewal program will mean to the growth of Argentine. Perhaps they were discussing the possibility of a new junior high school. With our administrators and the community, represented by the Board of Education, rested the burden of making these decisions. Regardless of the decisions made, the uppermost consideration was to furnish a school setting that would best educate the 1300 youth of our community. 18
