Some get glory and highest praise, Above the crowd, themselves they raise Others toil at jobs steadfast, Accepting acclaim and honor last. Those are the ones we honor here, It's pride in us that forms ia career. Consider a moment the unsung great, Here's to those who administrate.

MCEACHEN Superintendent SHAWNEE-MISSION,S finger on the pulse of the community was Superintendent Howard D. McEachen. Serving his eleventh year as the man with the last word, '55 brought him added responsibilities. The incompleted junior high schools' required further organizing. Versatile Mr, Maci' was a leader in community and pro- fessional groups. Part of his brimming schedule included being a member of the local Community Chest Board of Directors, and Committee of Management for YMCA, presi- dent of the local School Administrators Association, zone chairman of Associated Public School Systems of America, Vice-chairman for Kaw Council, and Chairman of Star and Life Advancement Board, Boy Scouts. However, he devoted much time to thestudent, considering the needs of each as unique and personal, and watched him grow and develop as an individual. i . Indian hiefs Number Five 14 I Weak, G. MURLIN WELCH Principal A PUCKISH smile and subtle sense of humor characterized Mr. G. Murlin Welch, Principal of Shawnee-Mission High School. Though enmeshed in the thousand and one duties entailed in running such a mammoth institution, he never- theless continued to regard the individual as uthe most im- portant thing in the worldn and demonstrated it time and again. Whether directing class assignments, checking at- tendance, figuring the budget, or supervising a major school activity, g'Murlie7' always found time to stop and counsel any troubled student on problems ranging from conduct to curriculum. Listing loyalty as the greatest asset, the S-M chief-in his seventeenth year of service to the district- still claimed but one object as his goal: to offer all youth an opportunity, through growing experience, that will lead to a finer life.
