'K- Mr Hawkins and Mr. Wilhm play one-armed tug-o-war with the Faculty Association dues. Facult c Fusion Tis education forms the common mindg just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. This quote from the pen of Alexander Pope exemplifies one of the principal reasons why teachers from the seven Shawnee- Mission district schools joined the Faculty Association. S-M .East boasted a one hundred per cent member- ship in the association. ln their four meetings a year teachers learned from lecturers and programs new ideas in education and ways to improve themselves as teach- ers. Committees formed the working branch of the association. Illustrating their accomplishments was the Scholarship Committee which awarded two col- lege scholarships in education. Shawnee-Mission teach- ers cultivated the seed of knowledge so that it would grow with their students to maturity. -.-..... -----..-...-.., .... na..- --..---,- - -.,--.. chairman, promotes public relations

Yes, a group trip to the Rivi- era for all members would be nice, agrees P.T.A. President, Mrs. Arthur Popham, but . . . Guiding Guardians Preparing the Shawnee-Mission East Student for a More Rewarding College Experience was the theme of the 1959-1960 Parent-Teacher Asso- ciation. Hours of detailed planning went into the five informative assemblies. One of the highlights of the year was a Parent- Education Assembly in October which featured a panel composed of students, faculty members, and parents. This discussion helped members to gain a better understanding of the many extracurricular activities sponsored by the school. Several well-qualified speakers from various departments of Kansas City University discussed the topic, Proper Preparation for College-Bound Studentsw at the November P.T.A. assembly. In April, the successful P.T.A. program was brought to a close with a discussion about the Shawnee-Mission East counseling program. Under the able direction of Mrs. Arthur Popham, P.T.A. President, the year's activities accomplished the association's goal of perfect parent - faculty - student harmony. E ,l P.T.A. Pilots-Mrs. Harry Lerner, Mrs. Roderick Edwards, Mrs. Merle Welsh, Mrs. Charles DeVoe, Mr. Carl Ison, Mrs. Dale McNeal, Mrs. C. W. Schumacher, Mrs. George Moeller, and Mrs. Arthur C. Popham. 17

l I .. .. ' 1'-' HL .1-nt-,-: -. V . Mrs. Walter and Mrs. Farber search for the missing piece of a financial puzzle. Information Please Clicking typewriters, shuffling papers or the familiar voice of Mrs. Lorraine Parsons on the intercom were everyday sounds in the busy office of S-M East. Students purchasing tickets for athletic events or seeking answers to various questions found these ladies cour- teous and able to help. Mrs. Agnes Miller probably knew more about students than they suspected for she recorded grades and worked with permanent records. Facts and figures kept Mrs. Ella Louise Walter occupied in her job as bookkeeper while Mrs. Maxine Farber and Mrs. Peggy Lammers took dictation, typed reports or assisted the counselors. A closing file door, the snapping of light switches or the silence of the typewriters signaled the end of a day of school business. Official Line-Up: Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Lammers, Mrs. Walters, Mrs. Farber, and Mrs. Miller. U? Q -'l!'Q G' ? '11-416
