...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.

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
