Long after we forget the conjugation of a verb or the Pythagorean theorem, we will remember our faculty. These men and women ave cleared part of the path of education for us, and, whether pushing or leading, have given us the tools to clear the rest on our own. These hard working and dedicated people will live in M our inemories in many ways. Perhaps we will 14 -if recall most vividly when we crawled 'through a cave wi a teacher or tinkered with a ham sudde'nly saw the solution of an im ossi le equation after a long after school ses si 1. We might remember the long, hard evenings ent rehearsing on a play while our director worried it out with us. We may remember the encouragement and faith given us when we con- f'ded our ambitions to a sympathetic listener. e will definitely remember more than the chalk ust and red pencil side of these teachers, and these memories ill return to us .

School Progress In Baytown For the nineteenth year Mr. Joe Herndon has been superintendent of Consolidated District 42. Through the able leadership and supervision given by Mr. Herndon, his assistants,Mr. Ralph Martin and Mr. Robert Clark, and the school board, the district has grown from a small rural school system to a district boasting of the largest fleet of school buses in Missouri. In l903 the district became the second to consolidate in the state. At that time six country schools made up the 27- square mile district. When Mr. Herndon came to Raytown as superintendent, the enrollment was 1,092 compared to the 14,000 of today. Along with its regular duties of maintaining the kindergarten through senior high schools, the administration also offered this fall an extensive adult evening school which offered 45 courses involving 43 classes. The majority of the classes were conducted at Raytown High. If the spring enrollment is as anticipated, it will make Raytown's adult education program the largest of its kind in the metropolitan area. Working closely with teachers to provide a smoothly operating system is Mr. Edwards, the curriculum coordinator. His greatest responsi- bility is to create a system which enables teachers to select and plan their own methods of teaching. Also, his duties include visiting all teachers in the district and helping them to become better ac- quainted with the school system plus organizing committees to select new textbooks.
