Students watched and waited as Peter Townsend wooed and lost Princess Margaret of England in a dramatic romance that made front page headlines throughout the world. Of a far more serious nature was President Eisenhowers heart attack and his struggle to regain sound health.

Interspersed with weather discussions were the talks aroused by annexation planning. So Highland Park High School was finally to become a part of the Topeka city schools? While the Ford Foundation was giving away 3500 million, the people of Virginia were deciding that they would use public tax funds for private education so the Negro could be kept segregated. The governor of Georgia would rather his state college football team not play in a bowl game against a team that used a Negro player, but the college students took a definite stand, hanged him several times from a sour apple tree, and the team played the game as scheduled.

And in Highland Park this year it is more true than everg the construction of additional classrooms is enough in itself, not to mention the problems arising from the efforts of the city of Topeka to annex the district to the city schools. But as civic-minded men and women, Mrs. Miles Pulford, Mr. Charles Tietgen, and Mr. Jacob Gies ITIGI .incl helped solve the many complex questions arising during the term, and the high school and the community is the better for their willingness to accept the responsi- bility connected with their duties as school board members. It takes an efficient and capable staff to keep the high school records and business matters straight Mrs Helen Stinson registrar Mrs Sharon Morris, bookkeeperg and Mrs. Wanda Sylvester, secretary are those people Leona Bacon and Janice Nleff are Scottie students working as assistant secretaries in the school office
