SHAWNEE SETS PACE WITH HIGH GOALS The east doors are the scene of the daily 3:22 rush. Admiring Shawnee ' s collection of trophies, students pause in the lobby of Lappin Gymnasium, named in honor of Mr. C. G. Lappin, Shawnee ' s superintendent from 1926 until his retirement in 1960. In July of 1953 the Shaw- nee High School building was merely a drawing, an architect ' s dream. However, this figment of imagination became magnificent reality September 4, 1956, when a completed building eagerly awaited its occupants. Shawnee School, taking its name from the Indian tribe once living here— the Shaw- nees— has seen its enrollment increase from 389 students in 1926 to 2,250; the teach- ing staff from fourteen to one hundred one; and, most re- cently, the erection of a new high school building. We, the students of Shaw- nee, are truly proud of the high goals of our community and of the tireless efforts made to achieve such stand- ards. Football lans file into the spacious stadium eager to cheer the Indians in their Homecoming grid battle. OPPOSITE PAGE; This view captures only a small portion of the vast area to which the Shawnee grade school, and junior, and senior high schools now extend. iIb ■ ■
