'T' r . if lg.:-fs Teeters has as he tells one of his many iokes Competent Builders ln any large construction iob, a hard-working and friendly foreman is necessary. Our foreman, Prin- cipal Howard Teeters, in his first year at C.H.S., was always ready to aid C.H.S. students and teachers in any way possible. Mr. Teeters received his B.S. degree from Southeast State College and his M.A. from Pea- body College. He likes to spend his leisure time travel- ing. As the contractor and foreman follow the blue- prints, the workmen work tirelessly to build the foun- dation and walls of a new structure. Our teachers are our workmen, for they build and form the lives of C.H.S. students. ln i958 our 25 classroom teachers offered us 50 units of study, sponsored l8 organizations, and di- rected a year-around varsity and intramural sports program. Our teachers were lOO?6 in their member- ship in the Missouri State Teachers' Association and National Educational Association, while many of them were also members of the professional organizations in their individual fields. MR. MOCK discusses college expenses with Anne James, freshman.

Mrs. Walton, a 1938 C.H.S. graduate, returned to our school four years ago to be secretary to the superintendent and treasurer of the School Board.
