Mr. Stevens often stops in the hall to have a friendly chat with some of the students. He has always encouraged stu- dents to feel free to come into his office and ask him for advice concerning their courses in high school and is always ready to assist them in straightening out any difficulties arising from their school work. Not only is he friendly, but he is also highly efficient as a school administrator. The systematic, orderly manner in which this school of over 1600 enrollment is run is ample proof of his competence: Independence is not alone in recogniz- ing Mr. Stevens' administrative abilities as he is president of the National Federa- tion of State High School Athletic As- sociations and president of the Kansas State High School Activity Association. When graduates look back on their high school days they will remember Mr. E. R. Stevens as one of their best friends.
