On the local level it was com- q ' t' 1' posed of teachers from junior and senior highs in the Shawnee-Mission school district. With Mr. Hawkins presiding, new ideas were investigated and estimated. and often incorporated into the school curriculum, it- self. The latest methods of teaching were presented through panel discussions, special committees, or guest speakers. State-wise, teachers attended the two- day Lawrence convention, which served to remodel general nation-wide objectives into more specific and directly applicable goals.

BOARD OF EDUCATION. Mr. Richard V. Garrett, Mr. Roy E. Welch, Mr. Henry M. Turrell, Mr. Kenneth P. Rankin, Dr. Howard D. McEachen, Mr. Melvin F lowers tdeceasedL Perceptive Directorate of Policies Working together to form a unique Con- gress of executive, legislative, and judicial branches combined, members of the Board of Education provided strong leadership for the Shawnee-Mission school district. Their cooperation proved that a rigid separation of powers was not mandatory in every cir- cumstance and certainly not unconstitution- a1. Headed by Dr. Howard D. McEachen, the Board of Education carried out its pri- mary purpose as it established, ratified, and amended school policies. In addition, the Board superintended the building of the new district school, debated modern educational methods, and saw to it that the budget was kept carefully balanced. Thus, it promoted the welfare of secondary schools, junior highs, and senior highs, alike. Above all, the Board realized the impor- tance of understanding. Every problem pre- sented before it was considered from all pos- sible sides and discussed thoroughly before a solution was agreed upon. Holding this truth of understanding to be self-evident, members of the Board sought to establish a more perfect school district. Carrying his homew'ork, Dr. McEachen leaves the site of S-M West.
