A Learning Active Year Mr. Arthur W. Selves, principal, and Mr. Charles Smith and Mr. Dean johnson, the two vice princi- pals, successfully guided the growing Viking clan through the halls of Shawnee Mission West for the third year of its short but resounding history. The enrollment climbed to the twenty-four hundred mark so there were crowded classrooms, complicated schedules and more teachers for the effi- cient Viking directors to regulate. The admittance of Mr. Johnson to the position of vice principal aided in these increasing administrative duties. The two vice principals tackled the disciplinary difficulties and aided in the scheduling of various clubs and assemblies for the activity periods. Mr. Selves held the top office and so shouldered the heaviest responsibilities. He worked to improve the relationship between students and parents, gave the morning announcements, and introduced assem- blies. Once active as a coach in basketball and foot- ball, he carried on in the high-spirited support of West's Pep Club for bold teams and high standards. With keen insight into the problems of youth, Mr. Smithls understanding guides students back on the right track. Vice Principal Mr. Charles Smith Mr. Selves ponders over one of the many serious matters which arise every day in his capacity as chief administrator.
