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

The Clan Four short years ago we entered Highland Park High School to be graduated as dignified seniors in '39. We entered at just the right time as we were the first class to go all four years in the new high school building. W. L. johnson was chosen as sponsor of our freshman class, with Herbert Friend succeeding him as sophomore sponsor. At the end of the first semester of that year Miss Oma Bishop filled the vacancy left by Mr. Friend when he left Highland Park. She held this office through our junior year. Our third year was the most outstanding. It included a play, 'The Closed Door, under the direction of Miss Oma Bishop, and the spring prom. The theme for our prom was 'Unce in a Blue Moonf' and the gym was decorated to fit the occasion and theme. It proved very successful with the help and supervision of Miss Bishop and Miss jean Burt, assistant sponsor. In our senior year, we gave our second play, Be Yourself, under the direction of Miss Golda Crawford. Outstanding as a social event was the Garden of Memories prom at which the juniors were hosts and hostesses. A class picnic held in the early part of May was the social finale of our high school days. HIGHLANDER 1939
