V 1 K FOREWCRD The year 1917 stands out in the history of the school, for in 1917 we first appeared on the accredited list of Missouri schools as a third class school offering two years of approved work. ln 1921, an even more important date, we offered four years of work and were classified as al first class school. ln this year, we had two grad- uates and now in 1940 we have one hundred forty-five. In 1917 there were only three teachers and about twenty students and now we have grown to thirty-three teachers and over nine hundred students. Foremost among the early promoters of the school was Dr. McElroy Dagg who always said that the best was none too good for the students. ' For twenty-three years one of our faculty, Miss Amelia Keller, has grown with the school and helped it to grow. Two other teachers, Miss Clare Morrow, in 1921 and Miss Doris Arnold in 1922, identified themselves with the school and have aided in its development. These three by their long tenure of 'service can appreciate the progress made more than any other teachers in the system. V-L-X R Q

We who are accustomed to the conveniences ot our present building cannot fully appreciate them, since we never attended school in the first building, a frame structure with tour rooms and a hall. ln 1920-1921 the grade school enrollment had grown to the extent that it was necessary for the high school to rnove to the old green building, which was located across the street from the Sears Roebuck Building' and which had been used as the Y. M. C. A. headquarters during the W-crld War. The .rooms in the building were separated by beaver board partitions, which prevented the few teachers frcm con' cealing their classroom secrets, problems, and joys from each other. Since McElroy Dagg school was completed in 1923-1924, the high school moved back to its lcrmer building. The grades and the newly organized junior high school now used their new building. ln 1924-1925 the green building' was moved to the rear of the frame building and was transformed into an auditorium and gymnasium. At Christmas time in 1925 with what joy students and teachers received the splendid Christmas gift of the present high school building' with approximately twelve times as many rcorns as the first building. The additicn to the high schocl was opened in 1930-1931. F' I .il F' 1 455 , r. . M V' iq. P . if r- L. Y' 1. P B V' w.. F' 6 F-. 1 A 1 lt' i fur'- 1 T., i P- ' u rw: 5 J 'I - J ,, J 1

...dnine FOREWGRD ln a brief resume it is impossible to call attention to the progress made in various departments. In 1925-1926 the Commercial Department, so important in an industrial city, was added and in the following year the Music De- partment, both of which have shown great progress. In 1924 the first annual was published and by 1923-1924 football and basketball had made their appearance. Activities have played and are playing' an important part in the progress of the school. In the spring 1927 the Girl Reserve Club was organized, in 1931, the Science Club, and in 1933, the Commercial Club. However, the year 1934-1935 marked the beginning of many clubs such as 1-li-Y, Iournalism, Art, Home Economics, Honor, and the School Boy Patrol. It was also in this year that the school was granted permission to organize a National Honor Society and a National Athletic Scholarship. In Ianuary 1935 the Student Council, which has helped solve problems and assisted in the administration, was organized. As time marches on, may we continue to grow in mind, spirit, and soul, each one contributing something of which he and the school may be sincerely proud.
