For a number of reasons did me place the royal cromn of sovereignty upon the head of jim Landes the night of De- cember 16. One of the out- standing a th l e t e 5 in school, jim has held a prominent place in the life of Topeka High. Popularity is his by right of the ine type of sports- manship he has 5 h o ro n, the democratic spirit that has char- acterized his dealings noith fel- loro students, and the genial little boy grin mith mhich he r e s p o n cl s to the frequently heard, Hi, jim!

Candy, gum, pop, hot-dogs, being sold by rosy cheeked girls in trim black and gold uniforms. Cigarettes? No, we don't have them, but the man in the stand to the right does. And back to the bowl to see the kick-off of the second half. The stand has long been a project undertaken by the Booster Club for the purpose of supplying refreshments to the spectators and raising money for the athletic de- partment. This year it passed into the hands of the more highly or- ganized Trojanette and Trojan- Knight Clubs. Another undertaking of the clubs has been to put on drills and stunts between halves at both the football and basketball games. This was done by a specially trained drill team, garbed in the regula- tion uniform of black corduroy jackets and black and gold skirts for the girls. and gold corduroy jackets with dark trousers for the boys. These rituals became so much a part of the between-halves performance that a game without them seemed incomplete. Members for both these clubs were selected for their outstanding Twenty-six work in school and class room. Al- though sophomore girls are not eli- gible for membership, their out- standing work in the Booster Club will qualify them for election in their junior or senior years. Through lists made by every Tro- janette the new members will be selected. An executive committee and the sponsors, Miss Milicent Hosmer and Miss Berenice Fuller, will then choose the girls accord- ing to their past record. ln their general capacity of boosting athletics and promoting school spirit, the Trojanettes and Trojan-Knights have also spon- sored the Sunlights, afternoon par- ties held three or four times a semester in the cafeteria. The Trojan-Knights, with the aid of their sponsors, Miss Fuller and P. XV. Chamness, took over the candy stand at the basketball games and for some time sold as radiator ornaments the emblem of Topeka High School-the Trojan head. These heads were cast by two Topeka High boys and made in the building. As hosts at the State Basketball tournament, the Trojan-Knights made the out-of-town teams feel at home and acquainted them with the school. Ushering at the games was the job of Trojanettes who were not members of the drill team. Qualifications for membership in these clubs are not hard, but grades must be kept up and attendance at all games is required. The future of the Trojanettes and Trojan-Knights is to be care- fully planned. Representation at out of town games is to be larger and support will be given the de- bate teams. These are honorary organiza- tions, and members must give their utmost loyalty in order that the p r e s e n t high standard may be maintained.
