pride and nts master rents were geranium il events as vw North Kansas City High School, its students and their activities, their achievements, their welfare, his faculty friends, his teaching have all been the things to which he has devoted his life. He would not have changed his choice of a career for any other. , -Mrs. Tom Moore The past year left little doubt in the minds of all Northtown students as to whom this PURGOLD would be dedicated. The PURCOLD staff undisputably chose Mr. Tom Moore, due to his unequalled contribution to Northtown. Mr. Moore, a life-long resident of Clay County, was educated in the North Kansas City School 'District from first grade through his graduation from high school here at Northtown in 1926. While a student here, Mr. Moore was president of both his junior and senior classes. The faculty also selected him as president of a school spirit and activity club known as the 13 Club. ln the fall of 1934, Mr. Moore began his teaching career at Northtown where he was instrumental in setting up new departments. He instructed the first driver training and photography courses, as well as his regular mathematics classes, Mr. Moore was also associated with the various educational committees in the North Kansas City School District, At times he held offices in the North Kansas City Teachers' Association and was once president of the Missouri State Teachers of Mathematics. Mr. Moore retired from teaching in the spring of 1973, leaving many people with fond memories of the numerous organizations and activities he had contributed to. Perhaps there will never be another teacher at Northtown that has devoted so much time and effort to the field of education and students as Mr. Moore. With that final thought, the 1973 PURCOLD is most proudly and respectfully dedicated to Northtown's own Mr. Moore. fi'
