A' M K P3 7 K 9 Y Miss Ewing ,- LAST summer when members of the Sunflower staff decided to make the his- tory of Topeka High School the theme of the 1931 yearbook, they found that Miss Laura L, Ewing, dean of girls, had been a member of the faculty throughout the entire life of the North Building. Consequently, in tribute to her years of unselfish service, standing for all that is best and happiest in the life of the school, the staff wishes this 1931 annual, the last published in the old school, to be Miss Ewing's book.

For auld lang syne. my dear, For auld lang syne, XVe'll tak a cup o' kindness ye! For auld lang syne. -Robert Burns. FORTY years of youth have passed through the halls of Topeka High School -forty years of hurrying footsteps and laughing voices. Forty years ago the North Building was a proud new structure: forty years ago the chairs shone, the walls and floors were unmarred. But what matter if now that shining newness is gone? It has given way to a lovable old age. Memories cloak the scratches and cracks until they are not discernible, and everyone, from sophomore to senior, will remember forever not only the scarred and worn buildings but the many friendships their kindly walls have fostered and sheltered. The 1931 Sunflower is, for all students, the tangible reminder of life in the old Topeka High School buildings. It is a volume of memories of your teachers, your classmates, your clubs, and your activities. As you turn its pagegi may they bring a thousand happy reminiscences, a thousand happy dreams of auld lang synel s X , I 'rim ss? mx fav,- 5

It was of the latest architecture and was as much a source of pride as its successor is to students of 1931. Many changes and additions have been made in the course of the years be- cause of the ever-increasing enrollment. The assembly hall was originally on the third floor, and there was no cafeteria or gymnasium. During its thirty-seven years of service, students have come and students have gone, until traditions now cling like ivy to the red brick walls. When this year of school is ended, seniors, juniors, and sophomores alike will bid fare- well to the beloved school with gratitude in their hearts for its protection and with affection for students and faculty members they have known within its halls.
