Two paintings by Kansas artist Birger Sandzen are in the possession of the Kansas City, Kansas School District. The paintings were purchased by the senior class of 1922 and 1938 and for many years hung in Wyandotte High School. The classes paid $300 for the paintings at the time and they are now worth $195,000. In later years they have hung in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Library. The school district has not yet decided what to do with the artwork. Options include selling it, placing it back in the library, or loaning to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Includes a picture of the paintings and Stanley Lind from the 1938 senior class.
