1966 Trailblazer Dedications MRS. EVELYN HARPER Mrs. Harper won the distinction of be- ing named Kansas teacher of the year and also became a Master Teacher. We were all very proud of her and know that both honors were well deserved. PRINCIPAL LEO DENNY The 1966 student body and students of many years back will never forget the fine work of Mr. Denny. He is the kind of man who will always remain warm in the hearts of all students and faculty members. ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR JOHN SMITH Mr. Smith has served the school in three capacities—teacher, basketball coach and activities director. In all he did out- standing work. His pleasant, gentlemanly manner will never be forgotten. 3

Board of Education President of board—Judge Hunn Vice-president—Mrs. Bridges Perhaps no people in a city or town give more of their time and talents to the betterment of their community than members of the Board of Education. Atchison has always taken pride in the men and women who serve in the capacity of educa- tional leaders alongside the school administrators and teachers. The five men and one woman who were elect- ed to guide Atchison schools during a period of expansion, which is being felt throughout the country, are well equipped to handle every situa- tion as it presents itself. They are persons who understand the problems of the world of today and are able to intelligently meet their obliga- tions. Atchison parents have every reason to give heartfelt thanks to every member of the Atchison school board. It is for the interest of their children that these men and women take time out of their active lives to do everything possible to bring higher and higher standards to our schools. As interesting innovations are introduced into the school system, bringing about new and chal- lenging work for students, always remember that it is our dedicated school boards that spend long hours in formulating the plans and looking for- ward to the goals. 2- .
