Highland Park High School - Highlander Yearbook (Topeka, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1938 volume:

THE 1938 HIGHLANDER Published by 'rhe Senior Class HIGHLAND PARK HIGH SCHOOL Topeka, Kansas HOME OF THE SCOTS AWARDS REAI,IZINC and appreciating their untiring efforts to train winning teams, build fine character, and instill sportsmanship and school spirit, we, the Senior Class of 1938, dedicate this, HThe 1938 Highlanderf' to coaches, past and present, of the Highland Park High School. Through the passing years it has been the desire of all people to win, and the spirit that it takes to win has been especially prevalent in the Highland Park High School. Spurred on by a loyal student body, the Scotties in recent years have been outstanding in sports, glorying in a football team that has played two consecutive all-victorious seasons. The 1937 team played its home games, with the exception of the last one, at the football field at Twenty-ninth and Indiana. This field was first used by Highland Park in 1932. The Scotties took a step forward this year by adding to the school facilities a new athletic field. With the help of the Works Progress Administration, the new field was built at Twenty-fifth and California, dedicated Thanksgiving Day and initiated by the Scotties that day when they defeated the Topeka Catholics 27 to 0. Since the high school annual serves as a record of all the rnany activities of the school year, it will become more cher- ished as the years pass. The annual does not confine its material to the more important activities only, but it tells also of the everyday events. The 1938 Highlander staff has endeavored to place the pages of this annual, accounts so vivid that the of high school days at Highland Park will live forever this 1938 Highlander carries with it the winning keeps alive eventful school days, and challenges to win in the finest sense in the game of life, then will have been fulfilled.

Ruth X' L nlwfh 7fl 2,t,4n-42.4, IT was with glad hearts but faltering steps that the seniors of '38 entered Highland Park High School. They found in a short time that they had entered a realm of life entirely different from that to which they had been accustomed, yet they proceeded resolutely on their Way. Miss Virginia Welty was chosen class sponsor for the freshman and sophomore years and did much to lighten the hearts of the Mgreen freshiesf' The outstanding event of that first year was the move to the new high school building. The sophomore year held no great appeal other than the fact that after it was completed, we would be upper- classmen. As our junior year drew to a close, we recalled the many delight- ful occasions we had experienced during that time. With the help of our able sponsor, Miss Ruby Scholz, and assistant sponsor, Miss Golda Crawford, we had given the seniors a lovely prom, carried out in royal purple and gold with the theme of the year-the coro- nation. We had presented our first class play, MThrough the Key- hole, and had each and every one acquired the personal dignity of being an 'fupperclassmanf' Now before we have had time to realize it, our senior year is over. We have presented our second class play, uThe Mummy and the Mumpsf, under the direction of our class sponsor, Miss Golda Crawford, and have been delightfully entertained by the juniors, 'cOnce in a Blue Moonf, As we take a backward glance, we see that the Highland Park High School we knew as freshmen has grown from a school of 230 students to an institution of more than three hundred. We have helped' our music department gain laurels any school of any enroll- ment would cherish. We have fought through all-victorious grid seasons in our junior and senior years. We have produced dramatic presentations to which we took pride in inviting our parents and friends. We have upheld a scholastic record that speaks well for the Scotties as future citizens. We have become convinced that it is important to know Hhow to win friends and influence peoplef' We have looked at the work of our hands and minds and have seen, Hbehold, it was very good. And now again we enter a new realm of life, but this time with less faltering steps. Through four enjoyable years at Highland Park we feel our days have fitted us to enter the world with keener minds and a better understanding of life itself. With this in mind, we-leave our Alma Mater, bidding farewell to those who have made our high school years so enjoyable and so worthwhile with the assur- ance that along will fond thoughts of thee remain in our memory.
