To the students, Mrs. Stith always appears pleasant and helpful. School is out, the halls are empty, but Mrs. Stith remains to grade papers. Staff Honors Mrs. Stith Mrs. Doris Stith, a native of Kearney, Ne- braska, began teaching Latin and English at Bonner Springs High School in 1941. Since then she has become an integral part of our high school. The unselfish dedication she has shown to her students has been an inspiration both in and out of the classroom. Mrs. Stith co-sponsored the Pow Wow from 1942 to I960. She has also sponsored Latin Club since she came to Bonner. In 1961, she affiliated Bonner’s Latin Club with the Junior Classical League, a national Latin organization. Each year, Mrs. Stith accompanies the members to the state J.C.L. convention. In 1963, Mrs. Stith took a group to the national J.C.L. convention in Law- rence, Kansas for one week during the summer. To show our sincere appreciation to a teacher who is such an asset to B.S.H.S., the 1967 Totem Pole staff dedicates this book to Mrs. Doris Stith. Mrs. Stith chats with Steve May, Jack Mellott, and Gary Green dur- ing the busy enrollment hours. 3

MAN IS A ROVER. . eternally seeking and searching for the mysteries of life: discoveries, achieve- ments. satisfactions, and an awareness of the outside world. Our generation has to have a broad outlook on situa- tions such as the Vietnam crisis, the off-year election, and the space explora- tions. In order to cope with these world problems, we at Bonner High are con- tinually voicing new ideas, seeking knowledge, and meeting challenges. Presently, we are concerned with the athletic, scholastic, and social activities that occur within our school. In years to come we will be faced with greater concerns, but we must rise above them to gain what we seek. Throughout life we seek the com- panionship of friends, the assistance of instructors, an understanding of what we learn, and the enthusiasm of attain- ing goals. The satisfaction of being one of the gang, the knowledge gained from leaders, the application of this know- ledge, and the spirit portrayed in com- petitive athletics and competitive aca- demics aid us through the enigmas of high school life. In 1967 we search, and we will continue to search. . .for suc- cess, greatness. . . a place in life, an identity. . . for ourselves. 4
