FEATURES @ fr fp-j FACADE OFFICE FRONT AT NIGHT History HE convergence of river valleys and pioneer trails first drew to the heart of America the pioneer homes. Packed in the ox-carts and stowed on the river boats were slate and ruler, reader and bible; with the cabins were built the schools. Singly, the building of these school houses was incidental, collectively they represent American Ideals. We are still young, still building, still facing youth, opportunity. the dawn. Here are the facts of the building of East High. Iti the year 1922 the Building Committee and other members of the Board of Education were trying to select a suitable site for a school in this part of town. Before this date the East Side Improvement Association had been at work and had drawn the attention of the Board to the fact that we needed a high school for East Side. The Board after long deliberation finally agreed that the R. A. Long tract on Van Brunt Boulevard was the most desirable site. This had been purchased several years before by Mr. E. A. Long as a site for a hospital. Later his plans were changed and the hospital was built elsewhere. Mr. Long continued to hold this tract of land worth $125,000 and was unwilling to sell the east part of the property on Van Brunt. After some negotiations and concessions on the part of Mr. Long, a resolution was adopted October 23, 1923, providing for the purchase of 16 acres at $75,000 and the acceptance of Mr. Long’s gift of the remaining 18 acres. Up to the present time. $435,000 has been spent for building and equipment. The cost of East High totals more than half a million dollars. This, students of East, is the beginning of your school. Its past is history of which you are the beneficiaries. Its present is Opportunity, which is yours. Its future is obligation to serve in a constantly larger way our sucessors. This is the story and mission of our East. Main SCHOOL MISS ANNCTTC MOTRC Mft.BRYCC SMlTtt MR.WAKCXS BAIRP MO 3VPT. I.I.CAMMASK oor. jAroes e nvgcnt BOARD CLIFFORD H.

Thirty-six Senior Class History Groups of boys and girls wise looking and otherwise looking came up the walk to East High school the morning of September 8, 1926. Large and small, sophisticated and timid—all eager to begin the school year. This was the initiation of the walls of our dear East High to the shouts, laughter, and tears of boys and girls seeking knowledge. Order came out of chaos and one could soon distinguish the lofty seniors from the gauky curious freshmen, the docile sophomores, or the impertinent juniors. Organization soon sprang up, manned by the wise upper classmen. The pioneer seniors introduced a high standard of scholarship, athletics and social life. The year passed quickly and now they are on the platform stepping proudly forward one t y one as Mr. Nowlin reads the inscription on the ribbon tied rolls. Bravo, pioneer seniors! May the spirit of loyalty and service so evidenced by your members carry on to the succeeding classes. Thirty-seven The Senior Will We, the Seniors of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven of East High School of Kansas City, and state of Missouri, being sound in mind, and-body, legally competent to give and bequeath and desiring our little brothers and sisters to cherish our memory after we are gone do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Daisy Forty-one Junior Class History This Junior Class entered the portals of East High School, early in the fall of 1926. At our first class meeting which was held February 10th we elected our officers who were to “pilot our ship” through the year. Miss Abbott was selected from a group of teachers as sponsor of the class. “Mel” Feeback, a football and basketball star, was enthusiastically accepted by the Juniors as the head of our class. “Speedy” Stephens, another athlet e hero, was elected vice-president. Wilma Stone was elected as secretary. Dorothy Tudor, a member of the debating team, was elected treasurer. Betty Manley was chosen unanimously as the reporter of the class. George Kavanaugh, a membeer of the debating team, was elected to the position of sergeant-at-arms. Dorothy Tyson, one of East’s debaters, was elected as gift receiver. The Juniors, to prove themselves original, chose a mascot of the class who is none other than Sonny Grogan. Ever since its entrance into East the Junior class has taken an active part in all school affairs. It is well represented in athletics, music, oratory, debates, clubs, and societies. This Junior Class because of its reputation and achievements will be the most renowned class that has journeyed through East High. They have set new standards, and blazed a new trail in East High, and in its paths, the other classes are sure to follow. Forty-two The Sophomore Class OFFICERS EDDIE DORAN ...............

QUEAR Director of Horticulture in Kansas City S'chools Mr. Ouear, a graduate of the Kansas State Agriculture College, has been Director of Horticulture in the Kansas City schools for the last nine years. The development of the school garden system is due to his untiring effort. It has always been his des re to give an advance course in the lrgh school and the East High Horticultural Department is the culmination of the plan. MR. W. M. GRUBE Mr. Grube heads the Department of Horticulture at East High. This is a position of distinction for the department is uiv’que among American High Schools. He is a graduate of the School of Agriculture at the University of Missouri. Much comment on this department has brought favorable notice to East High. Fifty-two The Horticultural Department The horticultural department of East High is the outgrowth of a long felt need for plant study that would have a practical application in the life of the student. It is the natural projection of nature study from the grades into the High School. Altho the project has been in operation only one year, it has already demonstrated its popularity and efficiency. More interest in plant life and. kindred natural science subjects has been aroused and more knowledge disseminated than the most optimistic had expected. One cause for its immediate success has been the splendid equipment installed. East High is probably the best equipped to teach horticulure of any School of like ranks in the United States. Another contributing factor has been the unusual interest of Kansas City in general in the city beautification and gardening. Next year in addition to offering a course in general horticulture it is hoped to offer two advanced courses, one in floriculture, and one in landscape gardening. When three courses are offered to East High pupils an abundance of material will be available for nature study projects in all grade schools. With the entire program in operation Kansas City will offer a definite nature study program from the first grade to college entrance, with the East High greenhouses and gardens acting as the focal point from which the natural science activities radiate.

M. GRUBE......................................Advisor RUTH GALLOWAY......................................Queen In the establishment of a new department in the school such as the Horticultural Department several problems arose, among which was the means of marketing the products. Crops that could be raised on a large scale were easily marketed, but the material used by the students. although first class material, was raised in small amounts. The organization of the “Ag Club” and the resulting flower shows and sales held at the school have created a demand for these products. Our sales have not only been profitable but have also been educational, and have aroused greater love for flowers and plants in general. Another purpose of the club is to make educational visits to commercial firms that are of interest to the horticultural student. The social activities side of the club have brought the pupils of the different classes closer together. In the election of the Ag” Queen and her crowning we hope that we have started a precedent that will be continued each year. The qualifications for consideration of queen are, scholastic record, interest in horticulture and popularity. Miss Ruth Galloway was elected the first “Ag” Queen.

Seventy-one The different home rooms of the school eariy in the year organized into clubs and elected officers. Each club according to their own desire had meetings and programs. Various contests were held among the classes, and each student loyally supported his own Home Room. The object of having the home room class, which is ten minutes longer than the other six classes, is to transact all business pertaining to school in that hour so that time may be saved during the remainder of the day. It also provides a means for the pupils of that class, thru attending to the different duties of that hour, to come in closer contact with one another. Thus its main purpose is for the building of a strong and lasting friendship among the students. jrwwww w jig Seventy-four r ROBERT Mil ERroAL HtNTHWN MANAGING ECMTVR CIRCULATION MANAGER 5CCWD TERM CIRCULATION MANAGER riR3T TERM FIRST TLI JOSEPHINE RILEY ASSOCIATE CPitCR nwt tern rVWTHfl KEU.9GL hPU€«TI3IN0 r Nf XR bttwv TERM CARLISLE CHRISTIE LITERARY EPITOR SECONP TERM ' Seventy-five Eastonian Staff First Row: Kiefer, McFarland, Watts, Davenport, Tyson, Coulter, Rydberg, Lee, Brown, Bclger, Katherman.

The question for debate was, “Resolved, That the Philippine Islands Should Be Granted Their Immediate Independence.” The affirmative team debated Manual's negative team at Manual. East’s team proved the Islands should be given their independence by proving it would be morally and educationally wise and that the Islands were prepared for self-government. Although the boys spent many hours in research and in the construction of their arguments they lost both debates by two to one decisions. They have started our new school on the road to fame and wre are sure there will be turo winning teams next year.

The debate was held the afternoon of February 9th in the auditorium of the seven high schools. The subject for debate was, “Resolved, That All Large Scale Industrial Plants Should Adopt the Five Day Week Plan.” The affirmative team maintained that the plan would be Industrially, Economically and Socially Wise, meeting Manual’s negative team at Manual. East’s negative team debated Central’s affirmative team at East They based their argument on the facts that the plan would be Socially, Economically and Industrially unwise. Although the arguments of both teams were very forceful and convincing. East lost both debates. Much credit is due to the team and Miss Van Natta, the coach, however, for they spent many hours in research and the construction of their arguments.

The first to be started was the Kalialu Literary Club with twenty charter members. The meaning of the name Kalialu is friendship. The purpose of the club is to provide an organization for the study and production of literature and to promote a closer fellowship among its members through association. The club should be of greater service to the school as it becomes stronger.

To further their ideals the club took a trip to Lawrence, Kansas, where they visited the museum. Here much was learned as the boys could see the real objects about which they had previously been reading. This club is the first of its kind in the school and it is hoped that this will be the starting of a movement which will result in everyone having applied the motto, “Know Thyself.” To “put themselves on the map” the club decided to have a ball team. They did this and elected Clarence Wright as captain. So far the club has had a very successful season with a record of 1,000 per cent. They have won two games and lost none. The R. O. T. C. team was defeated fifteen to four and another physiology class was defeated fifteen to nine. One Hundred R.O.T.C. The East High R. O. T. C.

Though our boys were eager and willing they were untrained, and it was the “Coach” who gave them this requisite and turned them into teams which knew victory even in defeat. Three cheers for the “coach.” The Coach turned out the teams but of what use the team without the hearty and loyal support of the student body. This Mr. Grube, athletic business manager, by his enthusiastic spirit and indefatigable energy. To him belongs the credit for putting the games across in fine shape. Mr. Esther, assistant football coach, gave his time and experienece to aid Mr. Cohlmeyer in teaching the boys the technicalities and fine points of this difficult game. Our future first teams will stand a much better chance for victory because of the knowledge of the game acquired in this thorough method. Mr. McDaniel, assistant track coach, did his best to start the season off with a bang, but circumstances in the form of the weather and the lack of a track field, proved stronger than human efforts. Prospects for next year’s track are considerably brighter and we may expect much better results.

A group of fairly good players, but ones who were very inexperienced, reported for practice when the football season opened. The team played seven games hut because of inexperience won only two of them. It is certain that there will Ire a winning team next year because the football experience which the hoys received this year will prove very valuable to them in their next campaign. N. K.

He is one of the five boys who won a letter both in football and basketball. Mel was constantly doing his best to promote the welfare of the team. He will be back next year to support the team and as a reward for bis consistent work, was elected Captain of the 1927 Football team. CARL GRABAU Carl Grabau, the first football Captain of East High, was also one of the five boys who won two letters. Owing to Gray's 220 pounds he was able to hold the regular center position in football and was a substitute guard in basket ball. As he is a senior, he will be missed from our ranks next year. ROBERT KIRK Bob Kirk, a senior, played a defensive game entirely. He was short and snappy but proved to be a fast, dependable player, and one whom we will miss on next year’s team. LESTER FIKE Les’, a senior, was one of the best defense men on the team and was known for his steady playing. WALTER REWOLDT Walt, a senior, was a valuable man to have on the team. He was able to play any position on the left side of the line, from center to the end. “Walt possesses all the qualities of a first rate player. WALKER STEPHENS Mix played a back field position in football. He successfully held a guard position in basketball. ‘Mix” has nerve and the capacity for hard fighting under difficulties. He will be joint Captain with Peterson for next year’s basketball team. FARIS DAVIS Due to his coolness and generalship, “Diz” was placed as quarterback on the football team. The same qualities, coupled with his aggressiveness, made him especially valuable as a guard in basketball. He was a very steady player and his encouragement to his team mates, and clean sportsmanship, were indeed valuable to his team. JOE VENTIMIGLA Joe entimiglia, a sophomore, controlled the right guard position on the East football team this year. He worked hard, and that he was a tireless fighter for the green and black is shown by the fact that he won a letter. Joe will be back to support the team for two more years. EDDIE SEBASTIAN Eddie Sebastian, a sophomore, put up a hard fight during the whole season. He took great pride in his position and never missed a chance to stop his opponents. Eddie has two more years in which to develop into an all-star player. One Hundred Ten EDDIE JONES Eddie Jones, a sophomore, was a hard fighting player of the backfield. He proved invaluable to the team. “Jonsey” will also be with the team two more years. EDDIE ROBINSON Eddie Robinson, a junior, is another backfield man who classed with the best as a fighter and supporter of the team. Eddie has one more year to go so next year we expect to see him playing a great game of football. HENRY WEISSENFLUH “Hank” Weissenfluh, a senior, is one of the men on the team whom we hate to lose. He was a strong backfield man and had just enough experience in football to make him hard to catch while throwing passes. This lad did much to uphold the honor of the squad. EDDIE DORAN Eddie Doran, a sophomore, was one of the football men who was always driving toward the opponents' goal. Eddie was a fast, hard hitter and could always be depended upon to give his best to every play. He has two more years in which to become the “Red Grange” of East. LAWERENCE PERRY Lawerence Perry, a senior, became a member of the basketball squad rather late in the season. When he did get in, however, he was there with all the pep and punch that it takes to make a valuable man. Perry will be remembered for his support to the team. FRED TALIAFERRO Fred Taliaferro, a freshman, was one of the best offensive men the squad possessed. “Bunky’s” playing was always steady and smooth. He will be on the squad three more years. TURNER CAMERON Turner Cameron, a senior, proved invaluable to the team because he could be placed in any position on the football team and play it as well as if he were at home in it. Owing to the service he rendered to both the football and basketball teams, he received two letters. JACK PETERSON Jack Peterson, a junior, played one of the offensive positions on the basketball team. He was one of those who did much to keep “clean sports” as the motto of East Athletes. Jack will hold with Stephens the Captaincy of the 1928 team. One Hundred Eleven Basket Ball First Row: Stephens, Davis, Peterson. Second Row: Taliaferro, Sebastian, Perry, Quinn, Cameron, Fceback. Third Roza: Tyson, Moore, Grabau, Doran, Ventimigla, Rewoldt, Piaskett. Fourth Row: Weissenfluh, Harrison, McManus, Spangler, Drake, Light. At the beginning of the basketball season, Coach Cohlmeyer had a group of l)oys, who although they were fair players, had never played on organized teams. At first, they were unsuccessful as to score but with each game the team improved. At the end of the season the squad had won seven games and lost six. Next year they will he experienced and from these lx ys Coach is sure to mould a winning team.

The aim of this department is to develop the minds and bodies of the girls. The exercise which the girls obtain through this work develops them into strong, healthy girls who will he prepared to meet all life’s problems. Thus the main product of this department is “health.” Physical Education is not compulsory, nevertheless a large majority of the girls are enrolled in the gym class. Baseball, basketball, tennis, volley ball, and track, are some of the activities which are offered. Inter-class games are frequently played among the girls in the different gym classes. END BALL End ball has been played by all the gym classes this year, and it has been a big success. The third hour class won all the games and therefore their team was declared the champions. The following girls, because of their knowledge of the game, and their excellent playing were chosen for the team: First Hour Captain—Georgia Wagner Brown Conant Erving Hankinson Hammen Hanna O’Brien Third Hour Captain—Marcelle Stephens Brunson Burk Rex Rosson Hardcastle Morse Kayle Baker Hughes Roseberry Fourth Hour Captain—Beatrice Adams Andrews Wheatley Rush Reeves Brown Moat Me Lead Lee Shaffer Fifth Hour Captain—Irene Cantwell Hursig T urner Rorenke Fahlstrom Fays Kelley Tarwater Greenstreet Tower Ensminger Luther One Hundred Fourteen EAST BALL One Hundred Fifteen Although East was not always victorious in the football and basketball games the cheering of the student body never failed. When the cheer leaders, Bob McMahon, Sonny Grogan, and George Colwell, appeared in the Gozook emblazoned sweaters the Student body rose enthusiastically to urge our athletes on to Victory. These boys, selected by the faculty, vindicated the choice by their efficient direction of the audible manifestations of a remarkably loyal student body. One Hundred Sixteen The Pioneer The pioneer trudged wearily Across the burning sand; And in his soul grew one desire That seared like a flaming brand. The pioneer went wearily. His eyes were growing dim; But still there burned within his soul The wish that guided him. The pioneer had left the path. His soul had gone to rest; But o’er his grave there glowed a star From heaven’s shining crest. And we, the students of East High, With ideals, oh! so clear, Will make our school a shining light To honor the Pioneer. —CLETA PICKERILL.

Three persons form this telephone “team”—(1) the person calling, (2) the operator and (3) the person called. Being sure of the number desired, speaking distinctly and responding with alacrity, results in better service. The first requisite of good telephone service requires adequate plant and equipment well maintained, but, second to this equipment, is intelligent cooperation—teamwork—of those at both ends of the line and at the middle.

And just because a dizzy editor had me write up the unknown soldier and then gave me bum's rush” when I left off the well known warrior’s name and address. Can you imagine that? He must be twins. No one man could be so dumb. That same night I went home (Why not? There wasn’t any other place to go) and was soon deeply interested in a very enlightening little book entitled Editors—How to Exterminate Them and “Why,” or Oh! Henry. 1 read way late that night and didn't get to bed until almost 7:30, by gosh. Being fresh from the country and verdant enough to believe that Mali Jongg was a tong society I blew out the gas instead of turning it off. The following morning I woke up to find myself dead not only from the ears up but all the way down and the next thing I knew I was cooling my little number 12's in the Styx watching the Devil and all of the nice little Devilets playing their harmless, interesting, touching game called Burying the Pitchfork.” After an especially nice thrust the Devil looked up and discovered me. “Who,” he asked, “are you?” “Please, sir,” I put in timildy, “I’m a reporter.” “Ah, welcome, brother liar,” said he with an affectionate gleam in his eye, “we are always glad to get one of your trade here. Come, let me show you about.” At that time we were just outside the seventh of the walls surrounding the only place where it ever really gets warm. Guarding the gate to the interior was someone who looked familiar but I couldn’t exactly place her. When I caught a glimpse of her eyes I knew who she was. Ye gods! I had it! It was Marjorie Zimmerman, former editor of Harpers Weekly. There was only one person that I knew of that had an honest to goodness Mama-buy-me-that” look, and she was it. I asked my good friend Satan what she was doing there. “She?” he asked, “Well, we call her the Cracker Jack Kid. The more she eats the more she wants. The more she eats the hungrier she gets so she was put here to guard the entrance. Nobody can get past her, without loosing a leg or so.” I was sure sorry for her but shucks, what could she expect when she had had such an appetite. With a final sigh of sympathy we passed into the confines of the first wall. What we saw there filled me with horror and even made my guide blush in shame. Over in one corner sat Jesse James, Bluebeard, Ray Oldham and Henry Weissenfluh playing Authors. Hank and Ray of all people. To think that such famous artists as they had sunk so low as to indulge in that. They must be steeped in the steepest steeps of sin to engage in that wicked, demoralizing, character ruining game. Authors! Faugh! Satan took one good glance and rushed out of that cesspool of sin like a Scotchman after a free lunch. I was so sick and nauseated that I followed after him. When we had recovered sufficiently we entered the second partition. An amazing sight was there presented. Leona Wales who, up in the daylight, was a prominent society leader was skating along an endless walk while Frank Twitty, a prominent drug store magnet (he attracted everything) with Lyle Ross, George Colwell and Ray Prougli, the world’s foremost educators looked on and laughed mercilessly. Upon asking friend Satan the why and wherefore of it all I was informed that Leona was getting this for making so many screams (otherwise shrieks) pound the pavement home from Rosedale (Boys beware of a big blue). As we went into the fourth portion my one good optic was outraged and maltreated by what looked like an Aurora Bor., etc., a California sunset, and a kiln baked air cooled tie out of Bob McMahon’s million $ clothing. When the cause of the etherial disturbance came nearer I discovered that it was a suit. Oh, man! What a dieam! It was bright red and was stripped with green that laid it out in enormous checks and was trimmed around the cuffs and lapel with a bright blue. Gee! It was enough to make Grandpa take out his smoked glasses and weep with envy. Incidentally, Bill Lynch, the head that was of the National Dairy Co., Inc., that shy bashful shrinking violet was inside it. Satan sure knew his Rolled Oats when it came to punishment. Hugh Ellis, who as a doctor was in league with Christine Mears a prominent undertakeress, was forced to gaze at that vision of loveliness for sixteen hours a day. From within the part enclosed by the fourth wall there came the strains of Swim Home’s famous composition the “Vulgar Boatman.” Chum Satan and I tiptoed lightly in and saw Mildred Solsberg, once connected with the Metropolitan Opera company, pulling along a plank and shouting “Bells of the Sea” at the top of her voice. She was still “Building the Skip.” Ah well, the gods are just. One Hundred Fifty-two A glimpse into the fifth and sixth wall enclosures found James Plummer of Osh Kosh sitting firmly oh the chest of a constituent and preaching to him on the evils of stool warming. Diz Davis, the former Kansas City Chamber of Commerce head, was acting as the president of the Hades Rotary Club and was just standing on a good will tour through the sixth compartment, Walt” Rewoldt, an architect of promise, (but not much else) was making plans for Satan’s lovely new Sweat Palace and Carl Grabau was wielding a mean gavel over a city council in which Jack England, Francis Kavanaugh, and Edna Leonard, the three noted Sphynx-like council members, were exercising their gift of gab. One couldn’t get within twenty feet of the last wall. Being puzzled as to what was hidden behind the stone fence I obtained a long distance telescope and when the lenses were lined up right, I saw Thurman Rotroff, the boy with the strong “sax” appeal putting wind through a gigantic saxaphone and directing his famous Muehlebach Sea Room Orchestra. Boy! He sure made the instrument squeal with delight, moan with pleasure, vibrate with glee and wriggle in hysterical ecstacy. Since Thurmy had given lessons to the famous Siamese Twins, Dorothy Thompson and Lois Smith and the well-known tootin, high flootin, Lawrence Perry who had the lead in “Why Girls Walk Home,” or “The Curse of the Broken Roller Skate,” it was no wonder that the place was warm. How could it be anything else? All of a sudden I was aware of gales of laughter coming from everywhere around me and felt some menacing alien presence. I began to be frightened, then afraid and then just naturally terrified. “Help! Murder! Police!” I yelled appealingly to Satan; then someone shook me and said with a voice weighted with sarcasm and about as ominous as a landlord’s when the rent is overdue, “What do you think this is—a dormitory?” Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes I looked to see Satan but he was gone—vanished and on further investigation I found Miss Willett standing over me and looking still further I noticed the rest of the history class doubled up in paroxysms of laughter. Gee! I had been dreaming. My face became as red as a biennial plant of the genus Beta and I was feeling like the man who said, “Oh Death, where is thy sting ?” Oh 1 What a dream! Gosh! It was a regular night horse. Oh, Well, what can you expect after reading Dante’s Inferno till three in the morning. Promising to sleep nights hereafter, I am, Yours, GLOOMY GUS.
