It paved the way for a clearer understanding of the functions of William Chrisman. The program stressed the importance of keeping the building and campus clean, the value of being present and on time to all classes, and the necessity of revised thinking and actions to coincide with the mature functions of William Chrisman. Discovering the? layout of the building, finding the rooms and meeting the teacher' were other new experiences. At the conclusion of the program sophomores were better acquainted with the school thereby F' ing any doubts for September 7. With this background their first year has been e and more profitable, They have shared in the activities wit' , and insight. The impressions of the year just finished werr re more enjoyable for them. The memories are ones that will profit them in years to come because they were educational and happy. f M 6 , ,uJ,nli.1i'AL 1 gi J- Nu , 1 f ,,-,se-Frramaizeziz-.-mums. F B ' 2 .1.

Plucker Superintendent f -Q 'U' sy, W' 1' ss 'ww-.F .P if Guy Carter Administrative Assistant Administrators made and executed plans Taking a very important place in our lives was Dr. 0. L. Plucker, acting superintendent for the school term of 1954--55. Dr. Plucker has been with the Independence school system since 1951, when he began serving as director of instruction. He has worked along with the entire school system, striving to make the year pleasant and profitable. It is Dr. Plucker's belief that memories of school should be memories of worthwhile years. rl' ' 3 ' -, N 7, fi-lj A lg. T1 1 I ' .: V g I . 1' if at .2 1, , f' wifi. ae' . Pauline Brown Colleen Yocham Secretary to Superintendent Clerk, Superintendenfs Office To make them so, he hopees to furnish some share of the leadership needed to keep our schools moving toward better thingsg to help teachers do the best for students in their classes. Dr. Plucker is trying to provide the best of facilities, needed to give students the best possible opportunity for success in life. Dr. Carter who is new to the Independence school system this year comes from Columbia, Missouri, where he received his Doctor's Degree in Public School Administration. He has served previously as a high school teacher and coach and held the position of super- intendent in Mansfield, Missouri. He believes that an important part of a school administratorls work is to make the students feel that the schools belong to them, by making them more homelike and cheerful. Dr. Carter's desire is that students will feel free to come to him with any problem they en- counter and allow him to help in anyway he can to solve the problem. With his training and philosophy of how to make students have happy memories of a successful year he will indeed help our high school years become more profitable. Mr. Benson is completing his third successful year as principal of William Chrisman high school. By his interest in every phase of school life he has made himself a good friend of each and every student. Mr. Benson believes that a student's happiest memories are those of teachers who were both strict and fair in their teaching. He feels that teachers prefer students remembering them after they have graduated rather than the immediate friendship of the student. His time is spent in helping solve student problems with which he is confronted every day. Mr. Benson uses his knowledge to keep the school running smoothly and to add to students' happiness. With the guidance of interested administrators to start students on their journey in life, the road becomes an easier one, and the memories are more pleasant. Gregory Lefever, vice-principal, returned to his post for the 1954--55 school term after a year's leave of absence for study in Columbia University and the University of Londont Mr. Lefever has been at William Chrisman since 1941. Some of his duties include keeping attendance records, collecting and classifying data for future use and periodic reports. N V Q .ui ' S- ' ' gy! E 'K tt .Q Vernita Bendet Lu Ann Gardner Secretary to Principal Secretary to Vice-Principal The vice-principal comes in close contact with many students thus playing an important part in their life, now and later. He tries to make certain arrangements that the students will remember with pleasure, such as giving people the chance to take courses they want and giving people an idea that they are on their own, by treating them like adults. Mr. Lefever believes that the clubs and student council offer excellent opportunities for making students' memories pleasant and satisfying. for the welfare and happiness of all students I 'Wg I 'r we X nga?-' N Gregory Lelever Vice-Principal il' s in ' w ' an-9 .fi Q lo.

Mrs. Floyd Snyder, Sr. President tl 'I Board of Education 'I l The most important memories for students to take with them are pleasant memories of their teachers and the impressions they made on them. If, in memories, students can have an appreciation for their teachers, the Board of Education has suc- ceeded in providing them with qualified, under- standing, sympathetic people to help guide them through their career. The board hopes to furnish excellent facilities. However, these do not compare in importance with the quality of teaching that is done in each class- room. It is the hope of the Board of Education that all may have fond memories of their teachers.

Through the Parent Teacher Association it has been possible for Mrs. Dowell to know about many of the things Chrisman students have accomplished. She has observed their work, classwork, and extra- curricular activities. One of the pleasant experiences afforded to the Parent Teacher Association is that of sharing with the students and faculty members a feelingof worthwhile accomplishments. High school is one of the happiest periods of a person's life, and the recording of those splendid experiences will enable students and tcachers to treasure in their minds the many good things that happened to them whilc they were in Chrisman. The Parent Teacher Association likes to feel it had 21 part in the giving and sharing of these happy memories. Miss Gladys Evans, biology teacher, explains the work of her course to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cohoon. All teachers were in their classrooms October 7 to meet the parents of their students and to explain the courses which they teach.

'S J gf 6 3 -as-.wa-. E 'E F ini .,,i Four hunclrx-cl eight sophomores were given a happy beginning in Chrisman when thc- student council under Mr. Bc-nsonis direction C011- ducted an Orientation day Friday. September 3, 1951. Through this pro- gram the sophomores officially be- came students of William Chrisman high school. One of the first responsi- bilities of their class was to choose four class officers for the 1954-55 year. Those chosen were Bob Elliott, vice-president, David Clow. president, Peggy Lawrence, secretary. and Alice Freeman, treasurer. Members of the class of '57 Serving as president of the sophomore class is a dual role for David Clow as he is also president of his home room. Football and basketball are among his varied interests and, likely enough, his favorite sport is football. David wants to become an engineer. Elected to the office of vice-president was Bob Elliott. Bob is an active student council representative and is on the activities committee. Much of his interest lies in R. O. T. C. which is his favorite subject. His chosen vocation is to be a chemical engineer. Peggy Lawrence held the class office of secretary. Mr. Lefever and Mrs. Gardner give information to sophomore dents Gerald Resch, Beverly Dick, Lola Jean Huher, Margaret Paris, David Clow concerning the 1954-55 school term. Besides being a student council representative, she is also a member of Pep club. and the As You Like It Dramatic society. English ranks as her favorite sub- ject. Her intended vocation is that of a school teacher. The treasury of the sophomore class was in the capable hands of Alice Freeman. Alice's favorite sub- jects are English and biology and her plans for the future include a nursing career. Being an active mem- ber of the Shakespearean Literary society and secre- tary of her home room takes much of Alice's free time. stu- Pat Heady hands out individual schedules to and Peggy Lawrence, Ruth Ann Kensinger, and Vernon Keesee at sophomore Orientation day. if flsbsfs 5' fi' fi. fuk lf W 13' ,Q - Q 7, .

All of these groups present programs for assemblies, churches. and civic groups. By playing for pep assemblies, formal programs, and athletic events the 6-1 member band with its five twirlers has provided good music and encouraged school spirit. They present an annual band show and assembly program. After receiving training in the elementary grades and junior high school, students are accepted in the Chrisman band. Serving the school, working as a team, and learning and playing good music are their goals. The orchestra, rehearsing as a group before and after school, is growing in size and ability each year. Playing for assemblies, play intermissions, clubs, and churches is an essential part of the orchestra program. Ensemble groups furnish many programs.

The choir was honored this year by being invited to present a program for the Southwestern Music Educators Conference in Hutchinson, Kansas. Their program was presented to several high schools along the route to the conference. Band, orchestra, and choir with the ensemble groups all entered the State Music Festival in May at Columbia to add many more high ratings to those earned in previous years. The girls' glee club sang for the Thanksgiving assembly. Both the girls' glee club and mixed choir provided numbers for the Christmas assembly. The girls' glee club does three part singinghboth a cappella and with accompaniment. They developed the ability to do sight reading and progressed rapidly along that line. In mixed chorus a love for singing was cultivated and the ability to read music developed. A girls' triple trio was chosen from girls' glee club and mixed chorus.

Mama, portrayed by Merlene Guthrie. is a sturdy and gentle person. and because of her religious Convic- tions is very meek. She is plain and eonservative but wistful for the friendly association with her neighbors, which Papa strongly opposes.

Barbara Buckley, portraying Mrs. Yoder. is a middle-aged, rattle-brained. cheery neighbor who keeps the Aukamp family supplied with gossip. She haphazard- ly reveals Emma's secrets.

School spirit is that quality, tangible and yet intangible, which every school must have to make it active. It is intangible because it can be felt and yet words cannot be found with which to express it. It is tangible in that the results C2111 be seen in the enthusiasm of the student body. ln a school that possesses this factor the entire student body supports the activities in every phase of school life. They are proud to say that they are from their school, and show it by their actions.
