1955. CL and Helen Boch, Herman and Mildred Rosbrugh and unknown others from St Clair county were honored by Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the University of Missouri Balanced Farming Program for Outstanding Achievement. Does anyone know what the contest was? What was the Balanced Farming Program? Who are the unknown couples in the photo? Are they Fugate and Wisner? Thank you for your help. Photo and plaque were donated by CL Boch's son, Mark.

Recently the ACHS yearbook class researched the Museum's yearbook collection for ideas for the 2026-2027 edition. Mrs Deel pointed out yearbook features throughout the years. The museum has a copy of the first ACHS yearbook (the Blue and Red) published in 1927. The students enjoyed finding pictures of their parents and teachers especially Mr Swisher's photo from his first year teaching at ACHS. The museum collection is missing a 2013 yearbook. If anyone has a copy, please consider donating it to the museum.
