A rush order for cough drops, a badly needed aspirin to ease a headache, or a quick bond- aid for o victim of the slippery sidewalks was supplied by the nurse, Mrs. Nedro Boyer, as she took care of those ailing students who had suffered from such calamities. Moreover, she devoted time each day to checking on absentees. Richard, pick up a phone please! was a fre- quent appeal made by the office ladies and a mysterious plea that caused some listeners to wonder. In charge of general maintenance, Rich- ard Hopkins, with his staff, shared a round-the- clock schedule. The custodians became mem- bers of the social committee during decorating, and all-around handy men for stage production. Clattering, busy sounds of activity were heard in the S-M kitchen at 7:30 A. M. as the cafe- teria ladies began preparing food for 750 hun- gry students. The teenage gourmets, who pre- ferred almost every fine food, delighted over everything from breakfast rolls, to hot pizza. CUSTODIANS. Standing, left to right.

POWER UNIT Headmaster, Mr. Richard Trast, ponders on the puzzles and problems of his charge, the S-M Faculty Association. Problems? They won ' t be hard to solve if we work on them together. The accelerated class in teamwork, called the Shawnee-Mission Faculty Association, had volunteer members, teachers from the two senior and five junior high schools. Their class periods were held only four times a year, but good use was made of the time allotted: they compiled and compared their teaching notes and by discus- sing them, improved their own methods and developed a more unified program. They an- alyzed and studied their problems during the informal review sessions, then experimented with the results in the classroom. Jerry Wilhm, Building Representative for Shawnee-Mission East, appointed the staff to committees with- in the whole group; promotion of profession- al relations, a group insurance plan, and a college scholarship grew out of their co-opera- tive efforts. The popular faculty picnic high- lighted the year ' s activities, and over sand- wiches and toasted morshmallows, the teachers became better acquainted with their co-workers. Mr. Wilhm looks pleased with the products of his plonning. Salesman Clyde Reed steps forth to explain the guarantee on his favorite product, the Republican Party in Kansas. 16
