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.

Our school was personified by the faculty and the courses they presented to us. Daily we made per- sonal contacts with those dedicated to our education, the members of the faculty. As we attended classes, we realized that each combination of students and a teacher created a specific attitude, atmosphere, and relationship. School was a situation of learning, research, con- centration, and stucly in a number of areas. The goal of the language, English, and speech departments was communication by various media. Business and shop classes encompassed a diversity of practical arts. Social science undertook t he aim of acquainting us with the historical past, present, and future. In the fine arts section of the curriculum, music and art classes enabled the development and expression of talent and esthetic appreciation. A knowledge of phy- sical, chemical, biological, and numerical properties resulted from the probings into science and math. The conjugation of aller, the significance of Shay ' s Rebellion and shorthand symbols, the know- ledge of aluminum ' s valence, and the skill of char- coal sketching were characteristic of our scholastic pursuits in preparation for the future. Shawnee Mission East was academics. ACADEMICS
