Nay, by death or any other way Can be taken his treasury, To him by God this treasure was given, Not to be returned even in heaven. in -Charles E. Hamiltori.

Major J. K. Hudson, then owner and editor of the Topeka Daily Capital, plotted Highland Park. Believing Highland Park was going to Hbooml' he bought four farms and laid them out into lots. The school building up to this time was the little stone building across the street from the present site. Mr. Hudson, anxious to have a new building on the best location possible, traded the lot on which the new building was erected for the property across the street, thereby getting the old stone school build- ing which he sold to Mr. Lusco. A six-room building was erected, two of which supplied the needs of the school. However, it was used as a community center. Church, Sunday School, sociables, debates, and lyceums all were held in this building. It was not equipped with modern conveniences as our high school building now is. lt was lighted with coal oil lamps and heated by stoves. Water was supplied by a well which was dug by Richard and Oliver Selover, early settlers of Highland Park. The water was drawn out of this well by a rope and two buckets, to supply the two rooms. The members of the first Board for this new school were: J. K. Hudson. W. S. Curry, and George E. Flanders, The patrons desired to have their school grounds more attractive, so from time to time they had tree plantings, but the romping children trampled them out. Major Hudson received severe criticism for being influential in building such a large school. He was a man of vision and ahead of his time. ln 1911 a two year course of high school work was added. ln 1916 we had outgrown this building, and the high school was moved into the new building and by 1925 the assembly room, in which every class up to this time had graduated, was divided into class rooms, making it necessary to erect an auditorium. The work on the new auditorium began in the fall of 1925. lt was pro- gressing nicely and we hoped to move into it by Christmas, but a strong wind blew half of it down while in construction which delayed the completion of the building, so we could not use it until the first of February, 1926.

It is made up of the presidents of each class and three girls, two chosen from the Senior class and one from the Junior class. At the first opportune time the members organized into a Senate body and elected Sam Elder as president, Nadine Jones as secretary, and Miss Shields and Mr. Mosser as faculty ad- visors. All the members have at different times served on special committees. The Work of the Senate has been strenuous and successful on the whole. dealing with problems and projects of the school. It sponsored the advertising of the home football and basket ball games the Football Banquet: the adver- tising of the Dramatic Club, the Glee Club and Community programs: and the all-school picnic given the last Week of school.

Even in our first stages of High School greenness, we showed sign of budding intelligence. As Sophomores we verified all Freshmen indications of superiority. We took first rank in the Terman Intelligence Tests. Sans Mens in Sans Corpore is our ideal so we gave some attention to athletics. Matthew Everest and Robert Myers were our football representa- tives. Emma Eberhart, Martha Mills, Lenora Thomas and Louise Thompson ably upheld our colors in Girls Basket Ball, while Garfield Richard played on the Boy's Squad. Emma Eberhart, Margaret Euwer, Jessie Hassebrook, Martha Mills and Irene Roller were members of the Girls' Glee Club. Robert Myers, Rudolph Ketcherside and Karl Root were members of the Boys' Glee Club. Garfield Richard brought honor to the class in winning the County Spelling Contest. Our social activities, beyond general school organizations, have been few. The main even being a weinie roast. We all had a splendid time. Miss Van Ness, our class sponsor, has added much to the general class spirit.

They already think that they have worn off their greenness and intend to act quite sophisticated next fall. The class certainly is renowned for its pep and good students. They have tried to keep up with all the social activities of the high school and have practically succeeded. Miss Etta Abbott has very ably directed their work since Christmas. The Junior High School is looking forward to a real welcome in the High School next fall.

The school is fortunate to have Miss Abbott as a coach as she has specialized in all branches of Expression. She has shown great interest in the Dramatic work this year.

The Ladies Aid prepared the banquet which was served by the Domestic Science girls. An enjoyable program, under the leadership of Elroy Oberheim as toastmaster, was the feature of the evening. Short talks were given by Helen Krusor, Sam Elder, Mr. Warner. Mr. Buck, and Mr. Mosser. The Christmas season was celebrated by all the classes in separate parties.

Everyone seemed to have a good time playing in games suitable to the housewarming. Refreshments were served at the close of the evening. The outstanding event of the spring was the Junior and Senior reception given in the First Congregational Church, on April twenty-third. The decorations very prettily carried out a garden scene. The Domestic Science girls served a lovely five course dinner. A short program was given by the Junior class. Domestic Science The Domestic Science girls have celebrated the holidays of the year in many different ways-Christmas with a candy contest, Valentine's Day with a Valentine box, St. Patrick's Day with appropriate pastries, and Mother's Day with a tea for the girls' mothers.

In the fall the girls sold candy at the games in order to increase the athletic fund. They entertained us in assembly one morning with an amateur minstrel show and afterward led, in the new songs, On the whole the girls have done a great deal toward creating school spirit.

With ten letter men back and some excellent new material, Coach Warner developed a team that ranked among the best in the county. At the start of the season the team lost one practice game and its first two county league games. Continuous hard practice began to show results by this time and the first victory was taken from Berryton by a score of 12 to 0. At this time Berryton was being ranked as one of the strongest teams in the county and the victory gave our players confidence in themselves. This victory was followed by victories over Oakland, Topeka Catholics, Topeka High 2nd, and Silver Lake. The one defeat of this part of the season was by Washburn High, winners of the county championship this year. The team finished third in the county with a percentage of 625. Superintendent Nlosser, with the help of Mr. Croft, did the coaching when Mr. Warner was away.

Early in December construction work on our new gym was started and the school began looking forward to playing basket ball. The season's practice was started on a rented court. Practice was held two evenings a week on this court and the squad made a start at the new game. The first two county league games were played before the men were on our own court for practice. After the gym was finished and practice was held regularly the squad began to improve rapidly. With fifteen men out for the team, Coach Warner had several men to pick from for each position. The season was not a victorious one since almost all the men were learning a new game, but, at the end the team was showing improved floor Work and were beginning to locate the iron hoop, with which it is so hard for inex- perienced men to connect. With very few of the squad graduating this year, Highland Park can look forward to more successful years in the future. The team was led by Captain Don Campbell. Those who played in the Highland Park lineup in various games were: Campbell, Elder, Klesath, G. Moreland, H. Moreland, Oliver, E. Oberheim, Ci. Oberheim, Richard, Peck, Sims, R. Skidmore and Scott.

At the beginning of the season, the players were handicapped by the lack of a gymnasium in which to practice. The team did some practicing on a rented court until the High School gymnasium was opened and regular practice followed. Although no games were Won during the season, experience was gained which can be used next season. The outlook for next year is more promising since this year's team will be back as a Whole, and the new material which will enter school next fall. The girls on the first team Were: Captain Joy Reynolds, Mildred Roshon. Margerite Stapleton, Helen Cross, Emma Eberhart and Mae Oliver. Martha Mills, Esther Chubb, Jaunita McKelvey, Sophia Shapiro, Louise Thompson and Lenora Thomas were substitutes. Baseball The baseball team was not yet picked, when the annual Went to press due to the fact that the early season games were postponed until a later date on account of the weather conditions. The men who are on the squad this year are: Bessant, Campbell, Everest, Gillespie. Pix, Jones, Mathers, Peck, Sims, R. Skidmore, H. Skidmore, Myers, Anno and Nye. The battery for this season's games are: Willis Sims and Carl Jones, pitch- ers, and John Bessant, catcher. Harley Fix is the captain-elect for 1926.

There are now over five hundred pupils in our district with a considerable constituency looking to us for high school advantages. The present school year has been an adjusting process between the old and the new. Many places it has fallen short. THE IDEAL here is to make this a school second to none, to build an institution to meet the advance and progress of our community. The present senior class stands on the thresholdj The school bids you God- speed as you leave her sheltering walls to meet life's real problems. May success follow you whithersoever you may go. To those who remain, a challenge awaits you. Will you respond and build on the foundation that has been laid? Bright Student-What caused the trouble in the Garden of Eden? Dumb Bell-The apple, I suppose. Bright Student-You are wrong, it was a green pair. Miss Rusmisel- Where is Mr. Mosser, Sam? Sam- Ch, he's in the office talking to another woman. A LITTLE DRAMA IN AMERICAN HISTORY Miss Shields- John! Let me see that paper money. After John had passed the money up to her desk Miss Shields said: Some folks certainly are lazy. After inspecting the money Miss Shields passed it back to John. Charley K.- Uml I didn't notice that Miss Shields stirred. STUDENT'S PRAYER Mr. Warner is my teacher, I cannot sleep, He maketh me to study hard. He leadeth me in the path of knowledge for my grades sake. Yea, tho I study my head off ' I cannot shine, for he is my teacher: His Geometry and Physics confront me always: He prepareth a test before me in the presence of my troubled brain, He filleth my head with facts. My mind runneth over- Surely brain fever and despair shall follow me all the days of my lifeg And I shall dwell in the Insane Asylum forever.
