LAUNCHING EFFICIENCY Shawnee Mission Teachers ' Association Officials. Mr. Vick, president; Mr. Cormack and Miss Lindell, repre- sentatives. Launched by district directors and the Faculty Association, a program for educa- tional efficiency ascended steadily upward. Three men headed district procedures. Mr. Gayle Chubb, as Director of Personnel, staffed our schools; Dr. Herbert Bruning, Director of Curriculum, arranged school pro- grams; and Mr. Guy Barnes scheduled trans- portation to fill and empty our schools. In the interim the faculty assumed the task of education with advanced techniques. In special committees and scheduled meetings of the Faculty Association, teachers of the district combined progressive ideas to im- prove educational methods and materials. By utilizing innovations such as team teaching and ability grouping, S-M schools met the demands for higher classroom and administrative standards. Guy Barnes, Administrative Assistant; William Studyvin. Superin- tendent of Buildings and Grounds; Gayle Chubb, Director of Personnel. - 15

Mr. David L. Schmidt, Vice-Principal V. P. ' S AND THE P.T.A. It has been said that all roads lead to Rome. If this is so, then surely the offices of the vice-principals were the Rome of S-M East. The two men who occupied these of- fices, Mr. David Schmidt and Mr. Richard Trast, became virtual jacks-of-all-trades, for their realm of responsibility included attend- ance, discipline, student activities, and general administrative work. As the vice-principals were a point of contact between school and student, it was also necessary to have a unifying tie between school and parent. This need was met by the Parent-Teachers ' Association. Led by Presi- dent Mrs. Stan Rose, the 1963-64 P.T.A. was a distinctly active one. A discussion on school unification, a college clinic, and the annual Back-to-School Night were examples of the wide variety of programs. Through both the P.T.A. ' s contacts with parents and the vice-principals ' work with stu- dents, new bonds of understanding developed in all phases of school life. Mr. Richard Trast, Vice-Principal P.T.A. officers.
