Dedication East High School is indeed a school reaping the benefits of many blessings. One of its many blessings is an outstanding faculty containing leaders in their respective fields. A true leader in his field is Mr. William K. Prewitt, a forerunner in wisdom, ability, judgment, and personality. It is to Mr. Prewitt that we, the 1959 Eastonian staff, respectfully and gratefully dedicate this, the 1959 Eastonian Being head advisor to the Eastonian and Echo Staffs are two of Mr. Prewitt’s main tasks. These responsibilities alone require countless hours of business transaction, instruction, and numerous other necessary duties. East has Mr. Prewitt alone to thank for continually fine yearbooks which consistently rank at the top of their class and contain features that other schools can only hope for. The responsibilities of sixteen Echos plus a homecoming edition, coupled with bi-weekly deadlines lie on his capable shoulders. In conjunction to being Eastonian advisor, Mr. Prewitt is president of the National Association of Journalism Directors, a fitting honor for a man known and respected for his work in journalism. His leadership glows brightest when he obtains envious results with his methods of trusting and having faith in the students themselves enough to let them produce what they desire to accomplish. Mr. Prewitt also teaches sophomore English classes, and as an advancement to this, he teaches English in night school at Kansas City Junior College. The annual Eastonian Ball, the only all-school formal dance of the year, is directed by him. The annual Valentine Dance or King and Queen of Hearts Ball is another activity he willingly stages. Until this year, he had managed all Homecoming activities. He also was responsible for busses to carry students to the basketball games at a minimum of price. This added new spirit and meaning to a sport which has suffered dire negligence from student support. l| It is with true pleasure that we dedicate this book to Mr. Prewitt, who is so much a part of East, and to whom East owes so much. The Echo is one of the moin tasks under Mr. Prewitt.
