Over the years I have collected items related to NEHS. Many of these items I plan to donate to the Alumni Association so that Classmates can see the history of their school in person, instead of reading about it in a book and looking at pictures. I am a humble and simple man, so please don't bother about giving a ticker tape parade or a testimonial dinner in my honor. However, if anyone wants to erect a statue in my honor and put it in front of the school building, that would be okay.

1920's

Not sure what year this class ring is from. Believe it to be before 1930. Don't know what metal it is made from. As you can see by the lettering, the ring is somewhat worn. It's a size 3. It either belonged to a small student or perhaps the ring was sized down and given to a child.

This is a student lunch token. Don't know the years it was used, but believe it to be made before 1930.

This is a press photo, probably taken by a Kansas City news photographer. Duplicates would have been sent to other newspapers for publication concerning education. It was stamped June 17, 1920 by the N.E.A (I think the initials stand for National Education Association).

1934 diploma given to student, Orville Howard Goodrich. Don't know if the white ribbon with the envelope was part of the deal. Anyway, it was with the diploma.

This is a First Day Cover signed by alumnus Mort Walker, who created the famous Beetle Bailey cartoons. Unknown where or when the FDC was signed. As far as I know, Mort never used cursive, he always printed his name.
