School Personnel Directed by Mr. York

The range of administrative responsibilities of Mr. George A. York, Superintendent, varied from the construction of the budge of the school system to hiring personnel. He upheld the school policy and acted as liaison between the teachers and the Board of Education. Mr. York also found time to talk with some of the students.

Principal Shaw Responsible for School Organization

The administrative and supervisory responsibility of Mr. John Shaw, Principal of Osawatomie High, entailed all the organizations within the school system. Along with this, Mr. Shaw has found time to talk with the students about their educational, vocational, or personal programs. A principal's job has many duties and Mr. Shaw has fulfilled all of these. He also has shown appreciation for work well done by the students and teachers.

Student Ability Stressed by Teachers

The teachers of O.H.S. Have provided enrichment of the arts, sciences, and physical education for pupils. In addition to instructional duties the teachers gave their time sponsoring clubs and activities. Students were directed to develop specific skills best suited to their ability and needs.

There were twenty teachers on the faculty. They received their degrees from these institutions: Baker University, College of Emporia, Emporia State Teachers College, Kansas State College of Pittsburg, University of Kansas, University of Missouri and Southwestern.

The secretarial staff has been kept busy through the day doing their regular jobs and many duties that came up from club activities and needs of the students. Mr. Shaw's secretary, Betty Lhuillier, spent much of her time keeping the attendance records up to date. She also distributed the teacher's mail, contacted the parents when students were absent, and prepared athletic reports. Jo Anne Hays, secretary to Mr. York, also had many duties. She handled the correspondence, reordered office supplies, and had charge of the activity fund. Betty and Jo Anne, truly all around secretaries, contributed much to keeping the school running.

Many long hours were put in by our custodial staff which consisted of Charles Kuder and Carol Osbin. Not only have they attended to their regular duties, but they have also helped with the construction of props for the junior and senior plays. They provide a service for our school which is deeply appreciate by everyone.
