' 1 Q: History 125 la: Gsw5L.-'rs ns-Ji,-'rs is A city is known by the schools that it keeps. Kansas City keeps good schools and in this developing section of the heart of America is kept the young, vigorous and active East High School. About 1922 the movement com- menced which was to produce this school. The East Side Improvement Association first presented the matter to the board effectively, and in 1923 the site was purchased from Mr. R. A. Long. The first year of our existence was marked by effec- tive organization of all departments of a smoothly running modern High School. A class of about one hundred mem- bers was graduated and clubs, societies, athletics, publica- tions, and contests were organized and began to furnish their part of the composite school life. During the pioneer- ing year we attained honors especially in music and publi- cations. This year with the benefit of experience and improved morale we take increased pride in the work of the year. Scholarship has advanced, athletics have been well supported and successful, organizations are becoming more effective and our pioneer spirit is still alive. Our brief record must be concerned as much with the future as with the past. Those who leave East this year will cherish its memo-ries but will maintain their interest in its advancement. Those who remain will not cease to im- prove themselves and the school by earnest determined ef- fort.
