- ling the ASTP physical education - Howard Porter, Elmer Schaake, Vernon Hayes
and Jack Austin. This large reduction in the ASTP ranks will naturally

Vernon Hayes will be up May first. Howard G. Porter, a University of Missouri
graduate, who came to us last August from the Argentine High School of Kansas
City, Kansas, has presented his resignation effective April 15th. Porter goes

the teachers in physical educatim and recreation. Some would call it
supervisor, but the superintendent doesn't like that word. This district is
near the airport at Wichita, and has a population of 20,000 within a radius
of one mile. It has the largest grade school in the United States, as
well as large high school and junior high school,in the set-up. The Porters
have been living at 2133 Vermont Street in their home which they purchased
