Serrelary to Srzperinlezrdelzf Administrators and pupils in Pittsburg are indeed fortunate to have fine public- spirited business and professional men and women to serve as members of the board of education. Through the years these citizens have given freely of their time and talent to make educational opportunity in Pittsburg second to none in the state. Through this yearbook students in Senior High School say thank you for fine buildings, modern equipment, and well-trained, sympathetic teachers. ' J. ROY HARDIN REX CRONWLEY T. W. BATH The cooperative efforts of an effi- cient business staff contribute much to the well-organized, smooth-run- ning school system in Pittsburg. Sara McKee listens as Superinten- dent Bevan explains the division of Pittsburg into school districts. Mrs. Miller, secretry to the board of education, prepares Blue Cross and Blue Shield cards for the teachers. Mr. Woods, treasurer, checks a fee list. Mrs. Myers, secretary to the super- intendent, takes a message. 2 Q L fa-.a,,n,:-ms 1 R553 my sv fp , ' . mf. ' -, Z1 ,ga 5 H' 5 ,gfkfelq wfeamz: -1 1 .3 or Mrs. Lois Adams is s u e s a class admit. Mrs. june Culps checks on an absentee. One of the busiest spots around Senior High School is the office. Activity begins early in the morning as teachers gather for the day's work. Here they pause for greeting and to pick up mail and supplies for the day. A few minutes before the bell sounds for first hour, students who have been absent rush to the office for class admits-thus an- other wonderful day in PHS begins. Students as well as teachers are wel- come in the office where Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Culps, and Mr, England are ready at all times to give assistance. fI -.L la Mr. England reads The : Booster.

V1 si ting j mclzzr A Fulbright-Smith Scholar from Rome, Italy spent one month as a visiting teacher in the A - Senior High School. MISS ALFONSINA MORETTO Miss Moretto, a junior high school teacher in Rome, first learned of the opportunities afforded by the Fulbright-Smith scholarships through letters sent to all Italian teachers. An alert public school teacher, she became interested in foreign study and made ap- plication for a scholarship. After several interviews and written and oral tests, she was notified by the Amer- ican Commission that she was one of the teachers chosen to visit the United States. In late August Miss Moretto and fifteen other Italian teachers sailed from Naples. The group landed in New York City on August 31, where they were joined by three hundred other visitors from forty-eight different countries. The first stop was in Washington where they attended lectures sponsored by the State Department Board of Education. The group then broke up for study in various centers. Miss Moretto went with a small group to Syracuse, New York, where she visited the city schools and attended some classes at Syracuse University. Early in january she came to Pittsburg for a month of study. Having been a city dweller in her own country, Miss Moretto enjoyed life in the small mid-western town. She found American homes pleasant, but she did not care for American food as it was served in public dining rooms. American movies, she said, are gay and strive to be more entertaining and relaxing than those of Italy. Something new to this visitor was the sight of drive-in movies and motels, neither of which she had seen in her own land. Also new to her were the American celebra- tions of Halloween and Thanksgiving, for Italians do not have these festivities. Students in America, she felt, were serious in their studies. They enjoy freedom in choosing subjects to study in school, while in Italy students must follow a pattern set for them by school officials. The PHS students and faculty members enjoyed Miss Moretto's visit and sincerely hope that she found features of the local system which she both approved and enjoyed. DON WWSON For the past three years Senior High School has cooper- ated with KSTC in the training of student teachers. Through the block system, seniors who are preparing for teaching spend six weeks in observation and practice in a public high school. These cadets take part in extra- curricular and class room activities to get some practical teaching experience. This year four cadets were assigned to high school de- partments. Don Wilson, a social science major, studied with Mr. Morey who teaches journalism and publishes the school newspaper. David Britt, a professional printer turned student, worked with Mr. White in the printing adv! Zmchcrs fi BILL BENNETT department. Bill Bennett, a social science major, was assigned to the American history classes where he worked under the direction of Miss Waltz. Patsy'Ruddick, an English major and honor student at KSTC, worked with English classes under the direction of Miss Marsh. In Roosevelt Junior High School DeLoryse Hough was assigned to the English department with Mrs. Pat- terson as her supervisor.

BOOK FGUR A 1 Government Student Cfouucil The Student Council consists of representataives and their alternates from each home room, and the officers chosen in the all-school election in the Fall. The council is di- vided into four committees: Activities, Social, Courtesy, and Publicity. The purpose of the organization is to work with the administration in building a better school. One of its most important functions is the coordinating of student ac- tivities. Some of the activities the group carries out include publication of the Student Handbook, arrangements for the annual Homecoming, special dances, assistance at athletic events, and Dragon Drag Day. The council has seen many evidences this year of cooperation between student body and administration in putting over projects, in building school spirit, and in turn build- ing a happy, well-adjusted group of students.

Guidance Hi- ll The Hi-Y is an organization of high school boys who seek to further Christian ideals. Their purpose is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school community. The four chapters meet individually three times a month, and on the last Thursday of each month the groups have a general meeting. The group sent eight delegates to Topeka to the Model Legislature in December. At the pre-legislature conference john Wilson of the Dance-Edworthy' Chapter was elected to serve as chaplain of the House at Topeka. The Pittsburg club served as host for the District conference this year. Meetings 'were held in the Senior High School building.

The PHS debaters were awarded top honors in the Kansas-Nebraska district of the National Forensic League. Many times trophies are won by two or three top debaters, but Pittsburg may have established some sort of forensic record in that this year fifteen different debaters were on teams that won trophies for the school. PHS debaters attended tournaments in Fort Scott, Atchison, Winfield, Topeka, Shawnee Mission, El Dorado, Emporia, and Wyandotte in Kansas, Springfield in Mis- souri, and Muskogee in Oklahoma. They participated in both the district and state tournaments. Kenneth Mosier, the assistant coach, spent many hours helping the squad. Without his help it is doubtful that eight trophies would have been added to Pittsburg's fine collection. Coach, Dan Tewell received national recognition and was awarded the diamond forensics key for his outstanding work in debate.

DW' Although finishing below the five-hundred mark for the first time in five years, the Dragons finished the season with two well played games-a 13 to 12 loss to undefeated Independence, and a 7 to 0 win in the traditional Coal Bucket game with Columbus. The Dragons started well by winning three of the first four games, but injuries and lack of reserve strength caused a mid-season slump. The season's record was four wins and five losses. A junior dominated backfield shows much promise for next year. After the final game Chuck Mead, left end, and Paul Husted, right guard, were chosen co-captains.
