Tornado damage displaces Sumner High students, but alumni keep traditions alive

from St. Louis on the Air

Sumner High School students began the year not at their historic north St. Louis campus, but at Stevens Middle School. It’s a temporary home after damage from the May 16 tornado forced their temporary relocation. Alumni turned out in force to welcome them, determined to keep Sumner’s legacy alive. We hear from STLPR reporter Andrea Henderson and alumna Jackie Vanderford, Class of 1963, on the school’s history, traditions and uncertain future.
