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

In the office, a crew of six carried out their duties to insure a smooth-running pro- duction of schoo l life. Mrs. Faillace checked attendance while Mrs. Walters, bookkeeper, handled debits and credits. As Mrs. Piper pressed levers and answered phones at the switchboard, Mrs. Parks recorded grades, Mrs. Whisenhant was secretary to Mr. Ison, and Mrs. Lammers served in the same capa- city to the counselors. Next door to the office, Mrs. Paula La- varentz, R. N., manned the band-aid brigade. In the kitchen and in the cafeteria, Mrs. Mar- ietta Jack and a staff of thirty-one provided noontime fare of hot meals, meal-in-one or fruit salads, and snack bar offerings for five shifts of lunchers . Other important stage hands were the custodians, led by Mr. Gene Reed. From un- locking doors to cleaning, they performed a multitude of necessary duties. Without the vital backstage help of the nurse, office and kitchen staffs, and custo- dians, the drama of life at S-M East could not have been produced. mer, Mildred Eakblod, Bette Washer, Pauline Flippin, Florence Jewel, Donna Hart.
