Top Brass The faculty of Drumright High School met at irregular intervals to discuss and try to solve all the numerous problems which arose. At one such meeting, it was decided to appoint a steering committee to serve as a medium of approach between faculty and students. Mem- bers of this committee were Miss Griscom, chairman, Mr. Duckworth and Mrs. Pinkston. The entire high school teaching staff are members of the Drumright Education Associa- tion, which meets four times a year to foster the interests of the school in the Drumright system. Of this organization, Mrs. Anderson served the past year as secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Pinkston as chairman of the legislative committee, and Mrs. Kane as a member of the publicity committee. Three times a year the faculty attend dinner meetings of the Creek county chapter of the Oklahoma Education Association. After-dinner speakers at these meetings are usually people prominent in the field of education. To increase their professional growth, the faculty took part in many other activities dur- ing the past year. In the early fall they par- ticipated in a workshop in Sapulpa for teach- ers of Creek county. Later in the year they at- tended the state teachers' meeting at Okla- homa City and the district meeting at Edmond. Through these many meetings, the faculty learned the newest developments in the field of education and tried to use the ideas that were applicable to Drumright. PLANNING AHEAD.
