M. Stigall as principal. He remained until 1945, when Mr. J. C. Bond became principal and remained until his retirement in 1958. Mr. Paul M. Marshall, formerly of Central High School, then assumed the principalship. Approximately 1300 students attended Paseo that first year. Miss Irene Blase, Mrs. Lottie C. Reber, Mr. Paul Constant, Miss Elizabeth Minckemeyer, and Mrs. Neva Christine are the only re- maining staff members who have served Paseo since it was first opened. Before it was officially opened, Paseo was on record as the High- lands High School, but later it was changed to Paseo because of the convenient identification with Paseo Boulevard, which is directly to the west. The building was constructed of natural stone, quar- ried from the site, at a cost of approximately 31,500,000 The front portion of the school, the side hall, and the boys' gym were built at that time. A girls' play- ground and ROTC drill field were completed in 1936. The south- east side was left unfinished with the intention of later adding a wing corresponding to the one on the northeast. As a part of this plan, the girls' gymnasium, the swimming pool, and the locker rooms were added in 1939. Student activities in the early years included special interest clubs. Each student was required to belong to at least one of these. They ranged from the Know Kansas City Club, Formal Games Club, Girls' Hiking Club, and the Speed Demons' Club, to the Hooked Rug Club, the Needle- work Club, the Quilt Club, and the Ask Me Another Club. In the 1930's each homeroom had a soft- ball team which competed with the other teams until one emerged as school champion. The school had an annual carnival to help raise money for needed equipment. Be- ginning in 1937, an elaborate freshman induction ceremony was held annually. These continued until 19419, when the first eighth grade class entered Paseo.
