HOWARD D. MC EACHEN Superintendent Supervising an ever growing population of youth in Suburbia might seem an overpowering chore to some, but this was not the case of Dr. Howard D. McEachen, superintendent of schools. He conducted each days business quickly and efficiently. The transition from principal of Shawnee-Mission Rural High School to superintendent of the Shawnee- Mission School District, including six junior high and two senior high schools, presented numerous unforeseen difficulties. Vlhether these problems concerned swelling enrollment, hiring of new faculty members to meet the increased need, or the pro- cedure for improved teaching methods, each was met with the same vigorous determination. A spirit of cooperation between community and school made the impossible become a reality. With cooperation as the key, Dr. Mac was enabled to open the door to new and varied opportunities for worthy students of S-M North. Despite an increasingly heavy sched- ule of necessary duties, Dr. McEachen fulfilled his obligations to aid any individual in need of his advice. Looking to New Horizons In his second year as Vice-Principal of S-M North, Mr. Bob johnson was again working for the students. Supervision of attendance, discipline, scheduling, and activities was among his numerous duties. Dr. Herbert Btuning's official title was Director of Curriculum. In this capacity, he studied and recommended each textbook the S-M school district used. The adult education program and special education classes were under his jurisdiction. He was a newcomer. As Director of Personnel, Gayle T. Chubb worked with the faculty of the S-M dis- trict. Interviewing those who sought employment, advising teachers on class procedures, and checking teacher certifications were his major activities. Transportation was the field of Guy Barnes, Admin- istrative Assistant. Bus schedules, insurance records, and safety programs were under his direction. 11 Administrators directing the work of thousands. BACK: Gayle T. Chubb, Herbert Bruning.
