KEITH Bachelor of Science Southwest Missouri State College Springfield, Missouri Master of Education University of Missouri Columbia, Missouri Additional Graduate Work: George Peabody College for Teachers Nashville, Tennessee The students of William Chrisman are fortunate to have as administrative head of the school system Superintendent Lowell G. Keith. His educational program for the city of Independence is comprehensive and progressive. Early in his administration Mr. Keith became acquainted with school personnel, the work of student organizations, the resources of the community, and the policies of the Board of Education. As superintendent, he has been the unifying factor in the school program and the able executive through whose acts the educational plans of the community have been put into smooth operation. Although Mr. Keith's work does not bring him into classroom acquaintance with the students, he has succeeded in coming into close contact with them in various ways, his office doors are always open to visitors. Evidences of the development of skill and under- standing will find no greater approbation than that which is felt and expressed by Mr. Keith. ln his work Mr, Keith is ably assisted by Mrs. Mildred Kearnes, secretary, and Miss Martha Hutchens, clerk. I May we, the students of William Chrisman who are trying to paint Life's picture well, here express our deep appreciation for the helpful suggestions of our superintendent on the art of living. --111

BOARD OF EDUCATION ' INDEPENDENCE SCHOOL BOARD MISS KATIE CHASTAIN, MR. MARVIN CARL. MRS. ADRON RANDALL Secretary-Treasurer ' MR' JOHN W. LUFFI DR. Fi.oYD A. YALE President Vice president MRS. L. F. P. CURRY DR. EUGENE THEISS We wish to take this opportunity to express to the members of the Board of Education the gratitude of Independence community for the time and thought which they have given to the planning for the c-ity's schools. Without the wisdom and the foresight of these men and women, school policies could not have been so beneficial nor so consistently progres- sive. Perhaps no elective body in the American system of government gives itself to the task of effecting a sound legislative program with more conscientious application than-do the school boards throughout our land. It is with pride that we name our own in this group and take this opportunity to express our appreciation. ln a very special way do we wish to voice our gratitude to Mr. John W. Luff, who has for nearly a score of years been a member of the board and is now its retiring president. Elected to the board in l93l and made president in l936, Mr. Luff has served the patrons and the youth of Independence well. He has rejoiced in the high achievement of Chrisman students in all fields of endeavor, and along with the diplomas it has been his task so long to confer, have gone Mr. Luff's best wishes for success in the future. For his wisdom, his perseverance, and his benevolent interest, we pay our sincerest tribute. I ' IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllI ..'l2.. 5 'iT- J1:':::-:ne-2.11.14-.Q-Lf.I.i.
