These Seniors have endeavored to make their class outstanding and have indeed succeeded. Its members have excelled in scholarship, sports, dramatics, leadership, and all other fields of activity which they have entered. They began their last year in good form by first electing a group of very competent officers. Loren Miller was elected president, Jim Slattery, vice-president, Lenore Fletch- er, secretary, and George King, treasurer. These officers, with the aid of the Senior sponsors, Miss Hancock, Miss Jackson, Miss Howard, Miss Rodewald, and Mr. James, planned a varied group of activities for the year, all of which were successful. Probably the most elaborate one was the Senior Banquet which drew a big crowd and was enjoyed by everyone who could attend. The crowning of the King and Queen was another important affair, especially to the seniors because all but two of those nominated were members of this class. The class of 1937 is one of the largest that has ever graduated from Emporia High School. T151

Mr. Wglgner was a student of the Kansas University from which he obtained his A. B. He was principal of Emporia High from 1910 to 1912. Not only was he principal but he also taught mathematics. Mr. S. U. Pett became principal in 1912. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1900 at the Michigan State Normal. He was instructor of agriculture and psychology in Emporia High while Mr. Wiigner was principal. Mr. R. R. Cook obtained his A. B. at the University of Kansas and became principal in 1915. In the fall of 1918, Mr. Cook went to Topeka and Mr. Brown became principal. Mr. Brown graduated from Emporia High School in 1904. He went from there to the College of Emporia where he was a member of the graduating class of 1908, obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree. During the last year at C. of E., he taught Latin at Emporia High. l14l I Later he taught history and English classes. He became vice-principal in Emporia in 1916. Part of his work as vice-principal was to be financial manager. During this time Mr. Brown attended the University of Kansas several summer terms. He obtained his master's degree in 1923. Wliile at K. U. he became a member of the Phi Delta Kappa, an honorary educational fra- ternity and national organization. Mr. Brown is a member of the Rotary Club and of the Schoolmasters Club which is made up of principals and superintendents from many first and second class cities all over the state. It is the oldest club of its kind. Mr. Brown is also one of the Y. M. C. A. Board of Directors in Emporia, a member of the Athena Honor Society Qscholasticj of the College of Emporia, and a member of the C. of E. chapter of the Phi Mu Alpha National Music Fraternity. When Mr. Brown started teaching, the grad- uating classes were much smaller, many being less than 50. Now the classes are three or four times that large. 4 Mr. Brown has witnessed many changes in the years he has been principal. The National Honor Society was organized and other activi- ties, such as band, orchestra, glee club, and dra- matics have been brought into the school as units of credit.
