The East High Alumni Page
East High School, Memphis, Tennessee
An independent web publication

 The East High Alumni Page uses various resource material to identify alumni and their families in newspaper articles, obituaries, profile submissions, etc.  The most frequently used are East High yearbooks and student directories. However, we do not have a comprehensive set of these documents and we would like to ask anyone about to discard such material, or anyone otherwise in a position to provide them, to consider donating the items to The East High Alumni Page. In addition, while not as authoritative, photocopies of these materials could be helpful to the editor(s).

Also, it would be nice to create a repository of East High historical material that includes but is not limited to the above materials. It would seem that with the collection of the above items, a good start for an archive is established and we might as well receive other East High historical items just to preserve them. Newspaper articles, photographs, event programs are some of the things that could be included. If you have any such and are interested in donating them, please contact us.

For more information or to arrange a donation, please contact editor@EastHigh.org

Items we  would like to acquire include:

Actually recordings of or sheet music for the
East High Fight Song (an arraingment of "On Wisconson "), and the Alma Mater.

*Student directories were typically published in the autumn and dated as such. For example, the telephone directory dated 1961 was issued in the fall of 1961 and was for use during the 1961-62 school year. **City Telephone Directories are dated in different ways. The printed date sometimes indicates "use after" a date, sometimes it just gives the year of issuance, other times it shows coverage spanning years (i.e. 2002-2003). We use the issuance date, which is usually the earliest date printed on the directory.
