Throughout seven weeks these students spent 150 hours in the Class room, observing, teaching part of the time, and finally conducting the class by themselves. The Shawnee-Mission teachers wrote an evaluation of their effortsg and the students returned to college, the wiser for their experience. Members of the S-M Faculty Association worked faithfully to foster a spirit of fel- lowship and unity among the participants. Teachers from both the high schools and all five junior highs had a voice in the Asso- ciation meetings and took an active interest in its operation. 20 Q24 an il l X ., N bl

S-lVI's Recording Artists Pink, white, green, or blue, rectangular or squareg big or little, office slips could be found in any variety throughout the year. These slips were one of the out- ward signs of the office. Within the glass partition, students encountered the tapping sound of typewriters, the ringing of the telephone, and the bell of the inter- com. There never seemed to be a moment of spare time for the busy staff. In the fall, enrollment kept every member on his toes, during the winter, absences soared, and in the spring, all records had to be put in order for the term to come. Throughout the year this indus- trious team prepared transcripts for departing students and college-bound seniors. Although their duties were many and varied, these ladies always found time to help students with their problems. A large supply of student help assisted them by delivering messages, pick- ing up absentee slips, keeping records, and running er- rands. Although comparatively few in number, this staff energetically and efficiently carried out the task of keeping Shawnee-Mission North running smoothly. Ted Kimpel and Mrs. Swiebat search the files for a clue to the whereabouts of a wanted student. Q9 fi -4 i - V' . , ,Jn ,,.-.fe OFFICE STAFF.

P.-T. A. -- tudent Directors The general welfare and the social and mental progress of our students are problems, which must be undertaken at the opening of each school year. The Shawnee-Mission North Parent-Teacher As- sociation accepted this challenge, The once im- possible assortment of tasks fully lost all hopeless- ness. In four gatherings throughout the year the Moms, Dads, and teachers discussed and produced answers to various problems invariably arising dur- ing the course of a school term. A Back to School Nite led the parade of four assemblies and ac- quainted parents with the school and its faculty. The next two meetings were more closely related to problem-solving and looking into the future of education, and these were supplemented by various separate committee functions. A convivial fourth meeting closed the year with a group of S-Mites performing at a Chuckwagon supper. After Backjto-School night, parents more willingly sym pathlzed with tales of woe from offspring about S M's miles of corridors. is - . r P: ..s,i.. -yt, P-TA OFFICERS: Mr. Welch consultant' Mrs K W Tudor corres ' . - . - , ,n . . . , pondmg secretaryg Mrs. R ub S 11, d VICE president, Mrs. Robert C.
