Before coming to the staff headquarters of the association in July 1950, Mr. Vaughan had served as school superintendent at Eldon and Wellsville. He also served on the summer faculty of Central Missouri State College in Warrensburg for several terms. Mr. Vaughan was closely associated with the development of the 1931 school law. In July 1931, Mr. Vaughan was made assistant secretary and business manager of the Missouri State Teacher's Association and served in this capacity until May 1938 when he was made associate secretary. In July 1941, he was designated as business manager and continued in this capacity until he reached retirement age in June 1943.
