staff Iimilca' winnelonka faculty lays academic foundation lt was a different year, to say the least, was a staff member's opinion when asked his reaction to teaching until 6:40 p.m. And just when one had learned to adjust to the afternoon schedule and a snack at 2:30 p.m., the move to the new building called for a readjustment to a regular schedule. The thirty-four teachers, two administra- tors, four secretaries, and the nurse joined the sophomores in giving birth to a school. Staff members served on committees and as ad- visers to clubs and organizations. With a small faculty, closeness was evident as departments worked together planning the curriculum and schedule for the coming year. Under make- shift conditions, organization was evident as school functioned smoothly. A faculty moving committee was formed and the last weekend in February the transi- tion was made from Oak Park to Winnetonka. Teachers and students soon became acclimated to their new surroundings and after six months in a borrowed building, put down grass roots in Winnetonka Country. .

HOPING lT'S FOR A SHORT TIME, Dr. Sovereign posts directions in the OPHS building. principal a'r. sovereign polishes plans as second year approaches I am thoroughly convinced that we can offer a top quality educational program to our kids, Dr. Keith M. Sovereign said last fall about starting a new high school in a borrowed building with six hundred sophomores. And, he added, You might say we feel that we are visiting very good friends at Oak Park. The extended visit ended March 1 when the transi- tion was made to'Winnetonka's new building. Dr. Sovereign was named principal of Winnetonka High School in May of 1970. He had been an assistant principal at North Kansas City High School. A graduate of Joplin High School, Joplin, Mo., he received his bachelor's and mas- ter's degrees from the University of Missouri. His Ed.D. was received from the University of Arizona. During the year plans for 1971-1972 were finalized for a flexible class schedule. Planning team-taught semester courses required meet- ings and work by Dr. Sovereign and the staff. In January the program and schedule was ap- proved by the State Department of Education. Developing a new high school required Dr. Sovereign to spend much of his time deciding upon equipment and classroom arrangements in the new building, planning the movegand selecting a full staff for Winnetonka's second year with a projected enrollment of 1,700 students. 5
