XYIClll'l'.X HIGH SCHUOL HUYS' tll.l'IIi l'l.l,'ll IN lflfll Students Whose Parents Are W. H. S. Alumni It is a far cry from the high school of the days of 1880 and the early l9Os down to the schools of today, but Wichita High School is connected up directly with the classes of years gone by. Old graduates have left our school, gone out into the world, and in many cases sent their children back to gain the advantages of the edu- cation of the public high school of Wichita. Among the twenty-eight hundred students who now attend Wichita High are forty- three second generation students. In addition we have one third-generation stu- dent. Margaret Louise Little, 330, now attending school, is the daughter of Sara Ross Little of the class of '97, who was in turn the daughter of Ella Fuller Ross of the class of '80, Seventeen of the forty-three present second-generation students are boys. This leaves the twenty-six of the group as girls. Besides the large group of students whose parents graduated from Wichita High, we have one teacher who not only herself is a graduate of the school in which she now teaches, but whose mother also was a graduate of this school. Miss Gratia Boyle, now teaching in the music department of W. H. S., is a member of the class of '20, Her mother, Grace Morris Boyle, was graduated in 1889. A full list of the students who had both parents a graduate of Wichita High is as follows Page Tlrenfy-two

The Athletic Association of the Late Eighteen and Early Nineteen Hundreds have the privilege of using the golf links. The question was put to vote with a decision to accept the offer. This and the fact that the Athletic Association financed all games show what a powerful and progressive iniiuence the organization was in regard to high school athletics. Indeed, it was during the year of 1901 that basketball was introduced. From the Annual of 1901 we read that Basketball was introduced into the school this year because the girls are in need of physical training, and this game combines exercise wiih pleasure. Every girl in school may become a member of her class team, provided she is a member of the Athletic Association, and that her grades are above seventy- flV6.H d But athletics comprised not all the Athletic Association activities. The minutes of November 4, 1903, read: Mr, Wareham then made a speech explaining the pur- pose of the present meeting, that of organizing in connection with the Athletic Asso- ciation a literary society. And the minutes of December 18, 1903, read that The second meeting of the Literary Society of the Athletic Association was held.
