Vi BOARD CF DIRECTORS AND SUPERINTENDENT HIGHLAND PARK is to be congratulated on her excellent choice of board mem- bers, for every one has shown a fine spirit of co-operation and has truly proved himself worthy of his position. Mr. Miller is a new member on the board this year. He was born in Tennessee, moved to Arkansas, and then to Kansas. He received his A. Mfdegree at K. S. C. at Manhattan and his B. S. degree from K. S. T. C. at Pittsburg. He has a lovely hobby-flowers, and spends much of his time Working with them. Mr. Miller is now the State Director of Vocational Education. Mr. Abels is a Kansas man, born in Eudora and educated at Kansas University. Stamps are his hobby, and he has one of the finest collections in Topeka. He is cashier at the Topeka State Bank. 5 Mr. Cross is also a Southerner. He was born in Parkersburg, Vlfest Virginia, and moved to Kansas in 1895. He is now employed in the ollices of the Santa Fe Rail- way Company. iw-?4 It would be impossible to give too much credit to Mr. Nvright, for no one has worked more patiently and faithfully than he. He was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, moved to Nebraska for a short time, then to Kansas. He was graduated from K. S. C. at lVlanhattan in l9l7 and received his A.

Conse- quently, we blindly and unknowingly groped our way to the second step! our sophomore year. At this stage, light seemed to dawn upon us and we caught a glimpse of the golden aurora -education- which we were seeking. This may have been due to the fact that we chose the cap- able Miss Phyllis Newman as sponsor. She guided us safely through storms of tests, blizzards of oral talks, and floods of lectures. Such were the hardships we endured en route to the third step. Our junior year Was filled with so much enjoyment that we completely forgot the petty trials and tribulations that had so worried us heretofore. We presented a play, HThe Patsy, starring Ella Mae Hopkins and Albert Handley, true aspirants to the stage. We enter- tained the seniors of '35 with a color- ful Japanese banquet given at the White Lakes Country Club. In this, at least, we feel we Shave done ourselves proudf, We elected as our sponsor Miss, Amelia Zill, who diligently and conscientiously maneuvered our waver- ing footsteps to the one-way track, which, in due time, led us to the pearly gates of our senior year. In the dignity of that lofty station we wisely chose Mr. Herbert Friend as sponsor. We endeavored to set a shin- ing example for the uncultured and un- sophisticated lower classmen, however, we fear they 'Cwill little know nor long 8 BAKER, OLA MAE Dramatic Club 3, 4.

Although accom- plishment in athletics Was probably not the most outstanding instance of activity by the juniors, one of their number, Louis Clark, was placed at guard on the ,lay- hawk League All-Star football selection, while four others received letters. The class placed first in the inter-class basketball tournament. ln musical accomplishment the class was especially outstanding. Five of the six soloists at the state music contest at Emporia were juniors, as were half the members of the girls, octette, and three of the members of the boys, quartet.. The class honors also included the presidency of the Hi-Y, held by Sam lwig, an oflice generally held only by a senior. Last, but not least, the class play was a brilliant success. lt included numerous outstanding performances and was presented with a smoothness not always seen in high school productions. On the eighth day of May the seniors were entertained by the juniors with a dance at the school followed by a buffet supper. A Mexican scheme was carried out in the decorations and proved very effective. An excellent orchestra, made this event the highlight of the school's social year. i2 I 1, ,I It H f Q , ' A ' ' ,I ,lj ' ' I' ', 'f X f 7, .

At exactly 3:31 the leading man, Roy Hanson, supported by Dale Cochran and Robert Graham, the comic relief, saunters ambitiously into the room to find the lead- ing lady, Freda Ketcherside, just taking a breathing spell after a dash up the stairs to avoid being too late. When fifteen minutes later uThe Old Repeater, William Renbarger, peeks cautiously into the keyhole, deposits his gum on the doorknob and enters, Miss Welty showers her wrath down upon them. In all due time the curtain rises on the first act in which all members of the cast are seen busily flipping pages of psychology and history books, and a solemn, dull stillness settles down upon Miss Welty's colorful little room. When the correct page is at last located, the second act begins marked by a sigh from each long-suffering soul. Heads are bent in earnest pretense of study and only a pencil scratching jerkily across a sheet of yellow paper breaks the calm following the storm. The minutes creep by exasperatingly slowly but at last Miss Welty's '6You may golw reaches the eager ears of those soul-mates of the tortured. The third act shows the cast creeping docilely out of the room before Miss Welty's calm and deliberate gaze. However, when the door is reached, the hall resounds with the uwhoopees and hurrahsl' of the victims of MThe Land of Opportunityf, Curtains!

HHeavy,' Erwin, one time captain of the Washburn College eleven, and more recently of the Osborne High School faculty, and his able assistant, Herbert Herb', Friend, the Highland Scotties emerged with an enviable record. One of the highlights of the season was the thorough beating the Scotties gave their traditional rival, Seaman. The score was 31 to 2. This was the first time Highland Park has beaten Seaman in eighteen years, although there have been live ties. The Scotties were an exceptionally light team this year, averaging only about 147 pounds to the man. Although outweighed by every team in the Jayhawk League, they certainly were not outelassed, for they came through the season with seven victories and only two losses. 19 P l f BASKETBALL LETTERMEN RUSSELL fRussJ DENNISON-Forward Russ, forward and captain-elect, was an outstanding offensive and defensive player. He contributed much to the success of the Scottie team this year. Will he remember that Topeka Catholic game! ROBERT fBobD MAGEEgForward Bob was Highland's high-point man. Since this is his last year, we will 'greatly miss his leftvhanded shots that added to our score. EDWARD fWeedsD THOMPSON-Center This was Ed's First and last year on the Scottie squad. Ed played a great defen- sive game. CLYDE fPee Weei CARSON-Guard Clyde played this third and last season on the squad this year. He was a good guard and did his part in scoring. We hate to lose you, Clyde. Good luck' 5 aan! as Tiki EDWARD fEdJ GALLAGHER-Guard Ed came from Holliday Junior High and proved his ability to score as well as to play a good game at guard. Good luck, Ed, and even greater success in your remaining two years. LOUIS fLouieJ CLARK-Forward Louis was a dependable substitute for Russ. This was his first year on the team and he has one more year. Let's go, Clark! LEON tPepperJ MARTIN-Center Leon was an able substitute for Ed at the center post. He played outstanding games. This was his first and last year for the L6 97 red and green. , - 'Lf J fffw GV -,1 ' K I . 'X 'lf PAUL HEINZ-Guard , D Paul played a fine floor game this year. He is a junior and has one more year of competition on the Scottie squad. SAMUEL tSami lwig-Guard This was Sam's first year on the squad and he played a Hne offensive and defensive game.

Erwin built up a fine offensive and de- fensive team upon the firm foundation left by Coach Joe Bronson of last season. 1n the regional tournament at Osage City the Highland Scotties came through in their first encounter by defeating the strong Ottawa quintet in a thrilling Mlast second basket. The final score was 31 to 32. The team dropped their second en- counter to the strong Emporia quintet. Although losing four starting lettermen the Scotties look forward to a successful and colorful 1936-37 season. A great part of this cheerful outlook is based upon the fact that Mr. Friend developed a sturdy, fighting, and very faithful second team string-which should supply lots of good timber in the near future. 21 Front row: Petrik, Magnuson, Routson, Magee, Nussbeck, Moss, McCarter, Baker, Pressgrove, Lutz, J. Stapleton. Back row: Castor, Fasig, Hole, Morriss, Stull, Ferguson, V. Cooper, Martin, Elmore, l. Lutz, Marn, Palmer, Ruth Weaver. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION GAIN under the diligent leadership of Miss Ruth Weaver, the Girls, Athletic Association has been a credit to our schoolq Three very active seasons are crowded into a school year. The first season is de- voted to volleyballg the second and most popular to basketball, the last consists of baseball and indoor track. At the end of the basketball season, an interclass tourna- ment was held, which the sophomore girls won. This organization does not compete with those of other schools. During the four years of school the following awards may be won: a small sun- flower pin, a school letter, a letter HK, and a UK pin. Awards are given for earn- ing points by keeping specified health rules, special tests, health rules, and for extra exercise, such as hiking, skating, and horseback riding. A health test must be taken for every award. A The following were given first awards this year: Dora McCarter, Lorene Morriss, Georgine Moss, Emma Nussbeck, ,lane Stapleton, Shirley Castor, Kathryn Ferguson, Thelma Magee, and Doris Palmer. Those receiving second awards were lnez Lutz, Virginia Routson, Emma Nussbeck, and Jane Stapleton. Ola Mae Baker earned both the third and fourth awards. 22 TRACK SEASON 1936 March 27-Tnterclass Meet-Freshmen 9, April 24-Quadrangular Meet at Washburn. Sophomores 60, Juniors 37, Seniors 410.

T the time this book went to press the track season was only half over, but from all indications Coach Erwin had every reason to believe that it was to be a highly successful one-as shown by the results of the Seaman, Topeka Catholic, and the Quadrangular meets. ln the last mentioned the Scotties led by twenty-six points. Gentry Fitzhugh and Ed Thompson won eight firsts and showed mass strength enough to place in all but two events. The tracksters who would probably receive letters for the events in which they showed their ability were: Robert Williams- half-mile, William Renbarger4100-yd. dash, Russell Dennison-hurdles, Gentry Fitzhugh-quarter-mile and shot put, Gene Mallory-pole vault, shot put, and broad jump, Edward Thompson-javelin, discus, and high jump, Edward Gallagher- broad jump, 220, and relay, James Burrell-mile, Fred Petrik-half-mile, Louis Clarkghigh jump, Richard Disney--hurdles and relay, and Leon Lewis-relay. James Burrell placed fourth in the mile relay in the Kansas relays. The outstanding trackmen who will be back to don the Scottie uniform in 1937 are Robert Williams, Gene Mallory, Gentry Fitzhugh, William Renbarger, James Burrell, and Edward Gallagher. THE SOCIAL HI-LIGHT. OF THE SEASON HE spring social season at Highland Park was very literally filled with color, and without a question the most colorful event was the Scarlet Fever reception. This unique form of social entertainment, more comparable to a house party than to any- thing else, proved so interesting that it was continued throughout the entire spring. There was no set time for the guests to arrive, but one one joined the party, he be- came so engrossed in the activities that he invariably stayed at least a month. Even the all-school party was canceled because the sponsor, the Student Council, realized the uselessness of competing against the Scarlet Fever with all its recognized ad- vantages. One of the most enjoyable features of this diversion was the consideration shown the celebrants by the teachers. lt seemed so thoughtful of them to go to the obvious effort to remember all the work misser by the students. We regret to say, however, that Coach Heavy Erwin was very disappointed in several members of the basketball and track squads when they broke training to attend the party. Several social-climbing seniors tried to secure invitations-which, by the way, were of an unusual size and such a pretty shade-to this gala event from one of their number who had been invited, but few rated the colorful company of the elect. At the present writing it has not been decided whether to make this event an annual occurence or not. lt all depends on the hospitality of next spring's germs. 23 Reading from +op 'ro boH'om.

The student council consisted entirely of boys, whether this was a happy situation or not, important school problems were effectively settled by the council. Again this year, as last year, the student council sponsored Hobo Day. The event this year far surpassed last year's success. Ralph MPercy McClenahan was crowned king. His costume was simplicity itself, consisting of one pair of winter underwear. There were two queens, the judges being unable to decide between the two Ntoughiesf, Alberta Eberhart and Dorothy Boot. Plans had also been carefully laid for an all-school party when the scarlet fever epidemic caused indefinite post- ponement. The council decided with the permission of the school administration that dancing shall be permitted at school functions held in the building. A sunlight dance was sponsored to introduce the custom. There is in every school a great need for strong student leadership. The Student Council of Highland Park hopes that in the cooperation of the administration it may develop into a vital organization in school affairs, THE HIGHLANDER STAFF Editor-in-Chief .

This was one of the very few plays in which none of the characters required prompting. It dealt with the troubles of a young man trying to run a girls, school which he had inherited. Wallace Halbert, as the head of the school, and Leota Obenhaus, as the fluttery secretary, seemed unusually well-cast in their parts and both gave excep- Austin Bevans Elise Benedotti Miss Curtis .

Dale Cochran made a very charming young lady, and George Wagstaii was his dear, dear mother. The Dramatic Club this year has consisted of a large group of students who have been unusually enthusiastic and eager to participate in plays and skits. It has served the school faithfully with several one-act plays, in assembly and in the regu- lar meetings as well as at night. The members have studied several different phases of drama, including make-up, costuming, and lighting arrangements. The olhcers were: President . . Cecilia Stadler Vice-President . . Vlfallace Halbert Secretary ........... Jeanne Ahels Treasurer ........... Paul Heinz The climax of the Dramatic Clubis year was the presentation of its three-act comedy, HThe Whole Town's Talking, given on March 20. Deane Casebeer was a scream as the hesitant, bashful accountant, and Eugene Panissidi was equally amusing in his role of the breezy business man.

The music department in conjunction with the dramatic department presented three full length programs, featuring the glee clubs, orchestra and quartets. The smaller organizations that proved to be most popular were the Girls' Octette, including Catherine Stull, Alberta Eberhart, Jeanne Abels, Phyllis Billings, Eleanor Rankin, Florene Fairbank, Esther Cusic, and Agnes Betty Strachan, and the Boys' Quintet composed of Louis Clark, Rush Elmore, Wallace Halbert, Murray Hamilton, and Samuel lwig. Several music skits were also presented by the department: uFire in an Apartment Housef' by the Boysa Clee Club, uThe Dizzy Batonfl by the Second Girls, Clee Club, MA Musical Surprisew and MCynthia's Strategyl' by the Boys, and Girls, Glee Clubs combined. The orchestra furnished music for the Junior, Senior, and Dramatic Club plays. Members of the Cirls, and Boys' Clee Clubs were featured in voice recitals on March 13 and May l2, respectively. The members of the orchestra appeared in an instrumental recital on May l2. A concert of Christmas music was given by the Community Chorus, consisting of alumni, high school students, and interested and talented singers of Highland Park. Another way in which this department has helped to maintain and stimulate in- terest in music is through the organization of the Alumni Male Chorus, which has proved very popular. tCoulinued on page 340 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB First row: D.

The purpose of the Future Farmer organizations are to develop leadership, en- courage cooperation, promote thrift, improve scholarship, strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself, and to provide organized recreation for him. The Highland Park Chapter was organized in December, l935, with a total of seventeen charter members. Supt. W. VV. Wright, Ben Abels, C. M. Miller, and A. T. Cross are honorary members of the organization. The Highland Park Chapter carried out a Worthwhile activity program this year, and as the experience of the members increases, a more extensive program is in prospect for the future.

GIRL RESERVES NBER the capable sponsorship of Miss Scholz and with the willing leadership of Marjorie Stapleton, the club president, the Cirl Reserves made much progress this year. Katharine Chubb and Jeanne Abels were the representatives sent to the Girl Re- serve Conference at Emporia. Several of th cabinet members attended the city con- ference. The girls have had three parties, two of which were with the Hi-Y boys. The faculty and the sophomore girls were guests at a covered-dish supper given by the club in March. HI-Y HROUGH the whole-hearted cooperation of Mr. Erwin, the sponsor, and Sam lwig, the president, the club was made unusually interesting this year. The first semester was devoted to the study of vocational work. Some very interesting talks were given on this topic by several outstanding businessmen. Mr. Gessel and Mr. Talmen have been of great assistance to the hogs by giving the cabinet many useful suggestions. lVlost of the second semester meetings have been open to discussion among the boys. Paul Heinz. Sam lwig. Ralph Preston, and Xvallaee Halbert attended the Hi-Y Conference in November. 33 DRAMATICS-fContinued from page 285 pick outstanding characters because this was one play in which there was a perfect balance of parts.

The girls turned out to be regular news hawks and displayed great ability in writing up their findings. Cecilia's column appeared in Topeka State Journal each Friday under the heading of Highland Hi-Lightsgi' Vir- giniais Scottie Skitsi' were in the Topeka Daily Capital every Thursday. Besides these features, the popularity of the high school page of the 4'Highland Microphonew was so great that the eighth grade circulation managers had difhculty in supplying the demand. Cecilia and Virginia, ably assisted by Agnes Betty Strachan, were also in charge of this page with the exception of a few weeks in the spring when keen competition was developed by assigning the page to each of the four classes in turn. The items consisted mostly of personal features and 'cschool scandalfv Great credit should be given to Alvin Moore for his accurate and well-termed sports write-ups. This work has been under the supervision of Miss Zill, who proved to be of great assistance with her excellent suggestions and advice. SCHOLASTIC HONORS HE seniors who have made averages above 90 throughout their entire high school course listed in the order in which they ranked are: Cecilia Stadler, Fred Bishop, Virginia Wells, Mary Weidler, Hazel Hathaway, Ella Mae Hopkins, and William Wiinner.
