P.- T. A llllIIllllIllllIlllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll THE INDIAN -1937 IllIlllllllllllllllllllll Ill 28 SINCE its beginning nine years ago, the Shawnee-Mission Q chapter of the P.-T. A. has been growing steadily. There are now approximately 160 members including both parents and teachers. In addition there are many who attend the meetings and derive benefits from them without being reg- istered as members. A The purpose of the organization is to train both parents and teachers in methods of coping with the problems which confront the m-odern boy or girl. In addition the organization promotes a friendliness between the parent and teacher and inspires understanding and a feeling of cooperation. The organization meets once each month on the third Moniday night. The club year continues for the regular school term from September to May. Officers are elected once a year, the election being con- ducted by ballot. Mrs. C. E. Woodman was president this last year. She was supp-orted by Mrs. S. R. Bradley, first vice-president, Mr. C. C. Vinson, second vice-president, Mrs. Carl Engel, secretary, Miss Genevieve Herriott, treasurer, Mrs. C. V. Gilbreath, historian. K Illlllllllllllllllll New Building . I ANEW ERA in the development of the school plant at Shawnee-Mission wars inaugurated this year with the completion ,of a new unit costing approximately SB150,0'00. With the aid of the Government through a PWA grant, the school board and the people of the community made it possible to construct this building. It greatly relieved the congestion in the old building caused by an increase in the enrollment during the past few years. This building features a gymnasium for both boys and girls, an office for the vice-principal, and a number of class- rooms. That part which encourages the greatest feeling of pride is the magnificent auditorium which seats over 1,000 persons. An extensive landscaping program is planned for the beautification of the grounds surrounding the building. Iden- tical in outward appearance with the neighboring building, the new unit has been named Auditorium and Gymnasium Building.
