At present that dream is only realized on paper, but we all have imaginations strong enough to build in our minds the High- land Park High School of the future. It is hoped that this building will be not only a medium for greater opportunities for the youth of Highland Park, but also one through which service and fellowship may be extended to all who live in the community. Early in 1935 we hope to leave our old building with its many associations, taking from it to our new home of learning nothing in the way of material goods, but much more important — the fine spirit of the Sturdy Scotch. BECAUSE through her influence as educator, counsellor, and friend, the lives of innumerable persons have been enriched in the past; and because her self -forgetting spirit of service will remain a source of inspiration throughout the years to come, to all who have come in contact with her. the class of 19 34 wishes to dedicate this book to Clarice Zirkle.

H sfe ; ' fe ii : -A '  ' - l «at3l ' ' ' ' -- • ' 1 i- t Future Looks Bright for Highlaud THE administration has worked long and hard and wound its way through a veritable maze of red tape in its efforts to provide us with a more modern and adequate educational institution. The School Board sent in the first application to the Federal Loan and Grant Board, under the public works allotment, in October. From that time on they have been busy answering questionnaires, filling out blanks, signing applications, and doing everything to forward the project as quickly as possible. Great was the rejoicing when we finally learned that Uncle Sam was going to help us gain our ambition, and when the final vote, taken on the project by the residents of the community, proved to be strongly affirmative. The modern structure, of two stories and basement, will be of Gothic style. It will be placed on the twelve lots on the corner of 27th and Indiana streets now held by the School Board on option. Entrance to the building will be at either the east or west end of the full- length corridor on the basement floor. Similar full-length corridors are pro- vided on each floor. There will be an auditorium with a total seating capacity of eight hundred or more, and a gymnasium with five hundred seating capacity, counting the balcony. In all, the new building will have fifteen class rooms and a study hall, in addition to the gymnasium, auditorium, office, and athletic rooms. Two new subjects will be added to the present school program, namely — manual training arid vocational agriculture. It is hoped that construction of the building will begin in the early summer, and that it will be completed for the second semester of the 1934-1935 school year. The girl who has contributed the most to the school Prominent in all activities — President of the Girl Re- serves this year — unanimous- ly reelected for the same posi- tion next year — talented mu- sician — clever dramatist — gracious, charming, and will- ing — Leona Mae is acknowl- edged as one who not only has brought credit to her school during her student days, but also as one who will undoubtedly bring honor to its name in the future. Leona Mae Hal! Highland ' s Outstanding Boy Beryl ' s sincere spirit of friendliness toward one and all — his enthusiasm for all phases of student life — his willingness to shoulder re- sponsibilities, large and small, with his usual infectious smile, have made him a nat- ural and popular leader. His schoolmates feel sure that these characteristics will carry him far in the years to come. Beryl Whitehead Coming People — Like Ect-nts — Cast Their Shadoivs Before Them. W. V. Wnght Board and Superintendent Cooperate to Serve District Well The present Board of Education consists of three members, each one having served at least four years. The various occupations of these men make them especially well suited for the places they hold — a banker, to watch the finances: an electrician, mechanically minded, to take part in planning construction and necessary repairs: and a supervising auditor, to do the figuring when budgets must be balanced and reports compiled. The members of the board have no doubt given more of their time to the welfare of the school this year than has ever been given by such a group in the Highland Park School District, on account of the preparation of the plans for a new high school. Many new buildings were visited during this plan making era , and voluminous reports were made and sent to Washington, D. C, for approval, in order to make available about $31,000.00 which the Federal Government is giving us to help with the new building. Great credit is due to Mr. Wright who. in addition to carrying out his regular duties as a most capable administrator, has also personally conducted so much of the detail work in connection with the new building. We are proud of our Board of Education and our Superintendent for their faithful service and the resulting high rating of our high school and elemen- tary grades. Without their superior judgment we could not maintain the success which has been ours. First Row Chubb, Whitehead, W. W. Wright, N orth, Stadlcr. Second Row: Iwig, Weir. Simpson, Zinn. Ten Student Leaders Form Conneil The Student Council was organized to act as a medium between the student body and the administration. It meets during fifth hour on every other Thurs- day to talk over and settle as many school problems as possible. It consists of the president and one elected representative from each class. It has a Con- stitution which is a guide for all its activities. The officers this year were: President Beryl Whitehead Vice President Edward North Secretary Katharine Chubb Page Thirteen First Row: A. Iwig. Hercchel. Eberhart, jMathi son. Lane. Thowe.

Miss Achenbach Miss Scholz Highland has many hopes for the future based on her ambitious underclass- The freshman class has seventy members in its ranks this year, making it the largest class enrollment in the history of the school. It is interesting to notice that Katherine Chubb. Alberta Eberhart, and Samuel Iwig are on the honor roll, and each has an interest in the music field. Zaida Pratt holds a difficult position for a freshman — that of accompanist for the Boys ' Glee Club, and in several concerts has pleased the audience with her excellent per- formance as a pianist.

The fallowing have a high scholastic standing in the school: Hazel Hathaway. Cecilia Stadler, and Fred Bishop. The sophomores have shown a keen interest in all activities. Lorraine Wiscombe has contributed her services to the dramatic club, and both Ida Marie Shepard and she have made a reputation for their clever and original project work. As a whole, the two classes have proved valuable assets to the school and on them we place our faith for the future years in Highland Park High School. When the faculty and upperclassmen view the one hundred and twenty advancing younger students, they feel certain that the school is going to forge ahead in the future, and will not merely maintain old standards but establish many new and higher ones.

Sixty Juniors to Fill Shoes of Departing Seniors The juniors, having succeeded in bringing forth real leaders, managing a prom, and presenting a lively play, are both willing and capable to fill the shoes of the departing seniors. Credit is due in great part to their excellent faculty advisors. Miss Weaver and Miss Holmen, who have aided them in all their enterprises. 1 he junior class has in its membership of sixty many really outstanding people. Leona Mae Hall, President of the Girl Reserves, an honor student, and an accompanist for musical organizations, is also gifted with dramatic ability. Another honor student is George Simpson, who is Assistant Business Man- ager of the Highlander and a news writer of merit, Francis Mader was a star player on the basketball team and took the masculine lead in the class play. Julia Etta Miller has achieved success in both dramatics and music. She played the feminine lead in the play, Agnes Hurwitz is Assistant Editor of the Highlander and a high honor student. Bessie Hurwitz, her sister, is also a student of high scholastic standing, and both are outstanding in the dramatic field. The amusing comedy, The Mysterious Mrs. Updyke, was presented by the junior class before an enthusiastic audience in November. The cast in- cluded: Julia Etta Miller, Francis Mader, Bessie Hurwitz, Agnes Hurwitz, Page Sixteen Peggy McCartney, Leona Mae Hall. Robert Raber. Fred Allee. Dorothy Bram. Estelle Shapiro, and Paul McClenahan. After careful planning and much financial conjuring, the juniors were hosts at what was considered one of the most outstanding events of its type — the Junior-Senior Prom. The seniors were delightfully surprised when they learned the banquet was to be at the White Lakes Golf Club, and were highly entertained by the novel radio broadcasting theme, carried out in the decora- tions and toasts. The juniors have written well three chapters of their high school history. They have come to the beginning of the end. They hope to be able to write a splendid, exciting conclusion to their story a year from now.

Girl Reserves and Hi-Y Build Character for Future Citizens of Highland Park Membership in the Christian boys and girls organizations. Girl Reserves, and Hi-Y, totaled ninety this year, with fifty girls in Girl Reserves, and forty boys in Hi-Y. Social activities consisted of several individual parties and a joint Hi-Y and Girl Reserves ' party in the fall of this year. The year ' s activities have included regular devotional services and one assembly conducted by each group. The ambition of both organizations has been to raise the student morale and encourage a finer school spirit.

The meetings were held on alternate Wednesday noons and each meeting dealt with the life and works of some famous actor. Each member has presented for the approval of the Club as a whole, a project. These projects included the writing, and preparing of settings of plays, and taking parts in the productions. Good notebooks of dramatic in- terest also were turned in. The three-act comedy. In Came Alary Ann , was presented by the Club, March 23, 1934. with Lois Bowers and Beryl Whitehead taking the leading parts.

Music Department Has Active and Successful Year The Music Department has accomplished commendable work this year under the direction of the music supervisor, Miss Holmen. The orchestra consisted of twenty-seven pieces, and participated in several of the concerts given by this department. The glee clubs had a membership of one hundred voice, which as a whole comprised the mixed chorus. The quartets were composed of the ablest singers at Highland Park and in- cluded, in the girls ' quartet: Allene Barbee, Julia Etta Miller, June Disney, and Adrienne Krallman, and in the boys ' quartet: John Buckmaster, John Richardson, Dick Taylor and Beryl Whitehead. The school entered both the individual and group contests this year at the state meet at Emporia. Last year Allene Barbee, Contralto, was rated excellent, and Marvin Flohrschutz, Tenor, and Glenn Barbee, Baritone, good. This year Marvin Flohrschutz, advanced to the excellent class and John Buckmaster, Baritone, received the rating of good. The A Capella Choir and the Mixed Chorus were classified as excellent and good, respectively. During the year several concerts were given, the most outstanding of which was the Christmas Pageant, The Star of Hope. They proved to be very entertaining and of unusual quality.

Page Twenty-one Commercial Department Sets High Aim The Commercial Department, under the supervision of Miss Louise O ' Brien, has accomplished as much, if not more, than any other department in school. The aim of the instructor of commercial arts is to turn out students from the department who are well trained and efficient in every line of stenographic work necessary to obtain a good secretarial position, without further training. The commercial students are taught to operate the machines which are used in any ordinary office routine. Advanced Class Added Since 1929, when the eighth grade began the publication of the Micro- phone , the advanced typing class has cut the stencils for this enterprise. There are included in this department classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, and typewriting. It was only last year that enough students desired to take a second year ' s study in shorthand, and the subject was added to the commer- cial program. Typewriting Contest Each spring a state typewriting contest is held. For the past two years this contest has been held at Topeka High School. The Highland Park Com- mercial Department has always sent representatives to participate in this event. Last year Dolores Courtner took second place in the state, and Marine Hill won a medal for efficiency. In preparation for this contest speed tests are given to both the first year and advanced classes in typewriting. For about three weeks before the date of the contest periods for practice are held before class in the morning, at noon, and after classes in the afternoon. In the Every Member State Typewriting Contest the typewriting classes from Highland Park placed seventh in this district. The median of the amateur class was the second highest in the state, and the novice class was third highest in the state. On April 23, the three best students from the amateur class and the three best students from the novice class were entered in the State Sectional Contest. Those entered in the amateur class were Allene Barbee, Pauline Hathaway, and Norma Stitt. The three persons entered in the novice class were Cornelius Butner, Leona Mae Hall, and Estelle Shapiro. This year in the scholastic rating for high school typewriting classes in the state, the beginning class placed in the upper 20%, while the advanced class went a little higher, placing in the upper 10%. Outside Work Each student in the advanced class of typewriting acts as secretary for some faculty member. In this way much practice is obtained in secretarial work by the student.

STUDENTS ISC BOOK TWO E- i i Pi W I- CQ PaKe Twenty-six Seventy-five ears of Progress ' npHE history of the Highland Park Schools has been representative of the - - struggle of early Kansans for education. The district was born sirnul- taneously with the state of Kansas, as it was organized March seventh, eigh- teen hundred and sixty-two. under the direction of Peter McVicar. who was then county superintendent. The district was first called Tlanders . but the name was later changed to Highland Park . From the time the district was organized until eighteen hundred and sixty- eight, when the first school building was erected, a house was rented in which school was held. The first school house was constructed of stone and was of log- cabin size , at the corner of what is now formed by Twenty -seventh and Indiana streets. In the spirit of the Gay Nineties , with its tandem bike and horse and buggy. Highland Park ' s first brick grade school was built, in eighteen hundred and eighty-nine. The first teacher was Mr. J. G. Shull. and there were sixty- one pupils. A two-year high school course was introduced by Mr. Glenwood Jones in nineteen hundred and eleven, and these students of higher learning were quartered in the upper story of this building. This structure burned in April of nineteen hundred and twenty-six. and with it went the memories of many Highland Park alumni. In nineteen hundred and sixteen, while the bands were playing Tipperary and Over There , the present high school was built and a four year course established. It was organized as a Barnes High School, Ten persons stepped forward to receive diplomas at the first graduation exercises in nineteen hun- dred and seventeen. During the good old days of prosperity , the grade school building burned. The children attended school in the Highland Park Methodist Church until the present grade school was completed in November, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. And now with the aid of the United States Government, we look toward a bigger and better school. By the erection of this fine building, the residents of Highland Park show their regard for the future of the children of this dis- trict, and register their faith in the ever-growing spirit of optimism now sweeping over the country.

MOSSER— 1925-1931 Under Mr. Mosser ' s administration the present auditorium-gymnasium and the ten-room grade school building were erected. It was through Mr. Mosser ' s zeal and effort that the grade school was given a Superior rating by the State Department of Education: and the high school received a grade A classification. H.WALLACE CORBETT— 1921-1925 Under Mr. Corbett ' s leadership the number of students enrolled in the Highland Park Schools almost doubled. He took a great interest in dramatics, and while he was superintendent many excellent plays were enjoyed by the com- munity. F. J. WHITAKER— 1919-1921 By the time the nineteen hundred and twenties had arrived. Highland Park had a four-year course in high school work. Mr. Whitaker who was superintendent when that decade began was an ardent backer for the baseball team and also raised the debating team to a high level. GLENWOOD JONES— 1908-1911 Mr. Jones was an outstanding superintendent of the earlier period of the Highland Park system of schools. It was he who introduced the first high school instruction into the community — consist- ing of a two-year course. He promoted athletics as is evidenced by the track team of nineteen hun- dred and eleven which won the sweepstakes at the triangular track meet at Washburn. The possessor of a fine voice himself — Mr. Jones was also extremely interested in the musical activities of the school. -Junior Sp The Faculty ROBERT H. MCISAAC A. B.

Central Missouri Teachers ' College Science Class of ' 34 Bids Adieu Four short years ago when sixty-four grade school graduates entered high school, they were no doubt the conventional green to faculty and fellow stu- dents — to themselves they constituted the best class in the school ' s history. The first legislative measure of this class was the election of Miss Irene Pitts, as sponsor, also new to Highland Park in. 1930, who has been unanimously re- elected each successive year. To her the class of 1934 expresses its profound appreciation for her invaluable service during the past four years. The mem- bers of this class immediately became adequately represented in every activity, and the fact that they were socially inclined was shown by their sponsoring two picnics and two parties during the year. Sophs Present Play By the fall of 1931 the class had adjusted itself to high school life. One of the important undertakings of this year was that of a Sophomore Class Play. The Templeton Teapot , which was successfully produced as an assembly program. The cast for the play was requested several times to repeat this play for downtown organizations. It was in September of this year that Mr. Wright, our present Superin- tendent, began his career at Highland Park Schools. In the same month Beryl Whitehead was elected President of the class, and has held this position since that time. In the winter of this year the school voted to have a Scotchman as the school emblem. This idea was carried out quite successfully in the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 6, at which the members of this class were hosts. Edward North was a very proficient Toastmaster. The Junior Play, Am I Intruding was presented March 17, 1933. Helen Morand and Rolland Smith were excellent in the leading roles. Senior Year Eventful This, the last year of this class ' career at Highland, has been the most event- ful of the four years. Sneak Day, an annual holiday for Seniors only, was greatly enjoyed. This class presented the last play ever to be given in the old building. That Ferguson Family , on May 4. The Junior-Senior Banquet at which the Seniors were successfully entertained was given by the Junior Class on April 27. This class was well-represented in the chorus from High- land Park at the Emporia Music Contest. In the course of the four years this class has gradually decreased to the twenty-seven members who will be grad- uated on May 21. So it is with a thought of the past and anticipation of the Juturc that the class of ' 34 bids Highland a fond farewell!

Welty. The play portrayed life in an ordinary middle-class American family, in which the three grown children rebelled against the domi- nation of their well-meaning but dictatorial mother, who finally sees the error of her ways. An unusual angle was portrayed in the line of characters when the young heroine turned out to be not only the sweet and lovely one of the play, but also a downright confessed thief I The cast composed largely of students experienced in dramatics, was as follows: Mertie Ferguson, the mother ...Norman Stitt Fred Ferguson, the lather Richard McCoskrie Tavie Ferguson, the daughter Pauline Hathaway Joe Ferguson, the son Dick Taylor Rupert Striper, Tavie ' s suitor Edward North Laura Connelly, the married sister Mina Tillman Bert Connelly, her husband Archie Cloud Mrs. Sarah Thorne. a neighbor Allene Barbee Bill Flemming. friend of the family Robert Lommasson Mary Flemming, Joe ' s fiancee Gwen Courtner PaEe Thirty-six The Class Picture As you probably know. I am not an artist. It would be quite impossible for me to paint you a picture with palette, brushes, and easel: but after three years of high school English, I will attempt to paint you a word picture of this class. We range in age from Norma Stitt ' s sweet sixteen to Vernie Crawford ' s ripe old age of nineteen. We range in height from Gwen Courtner ' s five feet to Roscoe Eberhart ' s six feet three and one-half inches. We range in weight from Pauline Hathaway ' s one hundred six pounds to Roscoe Eberhart ' s one hundred seventy- seven. Taken altogether as the one body that we are in spirit, we make up an in- dividual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he is ever going to begin to Icar-n, for our combined age is 5 1 2 years. Our height is one hundred sixty-two feet and one inch, which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies and look down upon the inferior undergraduates. You can see, too, what a heavy proposition we are by the fact that taken together we tip the scales at exactly three thousand, nine hundred, and ninety-one pounds. Our hand is certainly large enough to get a good grasp on the affairs of the world, as well as upon our individual concerns, for we wear a size one hundred thirty-seven glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures two hundred seventy-eight inches. If we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foothold upon the world ' s battleground, by way of our colossal understanding, for we require a No. 179 shoe. We have within our ranks potential poets, musicians, actresses, preaches, statesmen, judges, professors, physicians, authors, artists, and a United States President or two. Thirty years from now I will be able to tell you exactly what each member of this class of ' 34 has chosen for his life ' s work. Norma Stitt. Seven Seniors Rank High Over Four- Year Period From this year ' s senior class, seven should be honored for having maintained an average of over 90% during their entire high school course. They are — listed according to their ranking — Pauline Hathaway, Roscoe Eberhart. Allene Barbee, Norma Stitt, Vivien Wells, Edward North, and Cornelius Butner. The freshmen lead on the High Honor Roll for the 1934-35 school year by placing on it four of their number against three seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore. All A and B grades during the current year are required for this rating. Included in this list are: freshmen — Katharine Chubb. Alberta Eberhart, Sam I wig, Paul Heinz: sophomores — Cecilia Stadler: juniors — Estelle Shapiro, Charles Bower: seniors — Vivien Wells. Roscoe Eberhart. and Edward North. Page Thirty-seven Spanish Department Stimulates Interest in Latin Countries The two classes of Spanish, under the supervision of their sponsor. Miss Welty, organized El Circulo EspanolV this year to help to promote greater interest in the Latin countries. The Club met on alternate Tuesday noons and each meeting was devoted to a different phase of Spanish life. Some members of El Circulo Espanol corresponded with girls and boys of Spanish-speaking countries in the Spanish language and received several in- teresting replies to their letters, Estelle Shapiro has acted efficiently in the office of president the past year. In April, El Circulo Espanol presented a Spanish program in assembly, CLUB OFFICERS President Estelle Shapiro Vice President Ellen Headlee Program Charman Helen Walters Secretary _ Vivian Wells Colors: Purple, red, and gold Emblem: The Cock Too Many Books for Few Library Shelves The first library of Highland Park was organized in 1928, and the few volumes were kept in the office. Miss Wilma Shields introduced a successful system of cataloguing the books, which has been in use ever since. The library has continued increasing until the many books have to be compressed to be put on the few shelves of the library. Miss Newman, as librarian sponsor, has organized a successful method of caring for the books. A chief librarian catalogues all the new books, and takes an inventory at the end of each semester. Other students are chosen to hjv charge of the library during the different hours of the day. They help in keeping it in order. We are looking forward to a more extensive library next year in the new school building. The Librarians are: Mina Tillman — Chief Librarian, Estelle Shapiro — Assistant, John Buckmaster, Pauline Hathaway, Pauline Gott, Lois Wolfe, and Ella Mae Hopkins.

Even though the season was not as successful as it might have been the boys worked hard under the able c oaching of Robert H. Mclsaac. Highland won five games and lost four during the season and finished fourth in the Jayhawk League. A great deal of credit should be given to Edward North, student manager, for his steady, reliable work.

He took the drone out of practice by his wisecracks, but he also made the opposing center wilt. ROSCOE EBERHART — Tackle Rocky proved to be the mainstay of the Scotch line. He played every minute this year and while doing so tore his opponents to shreds. VERNIE CRAWFORD — Fullback Vernie held the fullback berth down this year in fine form. His punting and passing made him a threat in every game. Vernie was one of the few who played every minute of the schedule. RALPH SIMS — Halfback When Curly , the Beau Brummell of the team, got in the open field, the crowd always looked for a nice gain. CHARLES TOMLINSON — Halfback Chuck is the boy with the Terraplane take off . In the Osage City game he ran the enemy ragged. We learned to expect big things from this small boy . LEWIS RAKE — Tackle Rake was our King Kong tackle. He will be lost to us next year as he has completed his high school course. RICHARD TAYLOR — Halfback Dick was the boy who proved his mettle in the Alma game. This was his last year and hi leaves a hard place to be filled. WILLIAM KEKAR — Guard — Halfback Bill is the fellow who just does not know when he is down. He started in the line but was changed to halfback position where he did very creditable work. He is a junior, and will bear watching next year. CLARK CURRIE — Tackle Clark is the heavyweight of the teafn. Since he is a junior he still has one more year in which to throw fright into the hearts of his opponents. WENDELL MILLIKEN — End Wendy was the tough guy on end. What a blocker! It is lucky for the school that he has another year to play. JOHN RICHARDSON — Halfback ■Johnny was our small but mighty halfback. We hope he will live up to his slogan next year. GORDON WEIR — Halfback Mucket is the boy that can block. When there is a man to be taken out. he is the one to do it. If you don ' t think so, just ask him! GEORGE SIMPSON — Guard George was a very dependable guard and next year he should make people sit up and take notice. CLYDE CARSON — Ghard Clyde was our sophomore guard. Last year he played as a substitute at end and due to the lack of guards, this year he was shifted to that position, where he played a very com- mendable game. ; ■ WILLARD WHITE— £n( p-- Better known as Little Willie , h ' f o ir Pfeshman Flash .

The basketball team had a very successful season this year, winning eleven out of fourteen games: two of the losses were non-league games. By doing this Highland Park won undisputed championship of the Jayhawk League. Ken- neth Weir proved to be a very efficient student manager.

Basketball ROSCOE EBERHART Rock served as captain and earned his fourth letter in basketball this year. His heighth made it possible for him to control the tip most of the time. He tied for high scorer this year and as he is a senior his services will be greatly missed next year. WILLIAM KEKAR Bill was a regular guard this year. He was a great power on the defensive: and he certainly wrecked the opponent ' s shooting. He should go to town next year. RICHARD TAYLOR Dick was a whiz at his forward position. Tying for high score he was an important factor in the offensive machinery. Dick seemed to receive all of the hard knocks for the whole team. He is a senior. VERNIE CRAWFORD Vernie played guard, and how he did like to dribble down the court and throw those one-handed shots! Besides being a strong guard he was a big factor in the team ' s scoring. FRANCIS MADER Mader was not eligible until the second semester, but even then he was among the high scorers. The spectators always enjoyed seeing him sink those left-handed shots. He has one more year in which to show his ability. CLYDE CARSON Even though Clyde is only a sophomore, he earned a letter. He was . . substitute guard this year, but he should secure a regular position next year. JOHN RICHARDSON John was the smallest member of the team. He is an exceptionally good shooter and should make a dependable forward next year. GORDON WEIR Gordon was a very dependable substitute at the forward position this year. He has another year of basketball, and should earn a regular position on the 1935 squad. Page Foity-three Reading front to back- First Column: Chubb, Ruth Weaver. Beronius. W. Reedv. Lutz.

There are twenty-eight members in this class, and it is coached by the able director. Miss Ruth Weaver. G. A. A. is held as a regular forty-five minute class every Tuesday and Friday afternoons after the sixth hour period. The girls are coached in the principles of volley ball, basketball, and base- ball. The first fifteen minutes of every period are devoted to exercises and in the spring the fifteen minutes are given to track. Each girl passes certain tests and meets certain qualifications in order to qualify for a medal or school letter. Each member is required to keep a record of her health habits for each week. This year Ellen Headlee, Martha Reedy. Wilma Reedy, Lorraine Wiscombe. Pauline Hathaway, Mabel Conner, Marjorie Stapleton. and Eleanor Rankin are entitled to their first award — a medal. The next award, which is a school letter, will be given to about five girls. PaKe Forty-four 5f ;! )c. « Highly Successful Track Seasou for Scots! Highland Park had an unusually strong track team this year. The team won all three of the meets in which it had participated through April 28. Due to new rules there were a larger number of letter men this year than in previous years.
