Maestro . IN EACH successive year, as the realm of education ex- pands, the moving vital influence of the hands that guide our quest for knowledge is more keenly felt. Never before have students of Winfield schools had more reason to be proud of the superintendent of the Winfield school system. Mr. Evans is known asaquiet kindly man who offers proof of his merit more often by deed than by word, and who is en- dowed with the natural characteristics of a leader. He is also distinguished by his ingenious wit, and no speaker is more ap- preciatively enjoyed. That he is recognized as a progressive and brilliant educator is exemplified by his election to the office of President of the Kansas State Teachers' Association for 1938-39. It is with appreciation of all he has contributed to Winfield and to its schools, that we dedicate this Lagondan to Mr. Evans, with the sincere hope that the memories of this year may be Preserved a t U WNAQ -A ,. .,,. -

THE LAGONDA 1939 PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, WINFIELD, KANSAS Shake Hands, Vikings Here we are with a bright new Lagondan for your approval. We hope you like it. Our theme is Hands . We have attempted to stress the im- portance of these commonplace appendages and the interesting part they play in the various act- ivities about the school. The shapely hands of a talented pian- ist, the fc-rceful fist of a deter- mined debater, the dexterous digits of a cool chemist, we could go on at great length, but examine the following pages and see for yourself. In selecting the outstanding activities of our school, we have used our best judgment. If by our efforts we have suc- ceeded in helping you to preserve pleasant memories of Winfield high school, we shall feel amply repaid.
