Fine Arts Department Mr. Lawson, chairman Miss Hanley Miss Fulton By presenting the opera Faust in February the music department did its share to make this year's school life memorable. During the year public concerts were given by the band and the orchestra, and the various ensembles made many ap- pearances at private and civic gath- erings. The latter part of the year has been spent in preparation for the state and national music con- tests. The art department won first place in the state at the Kansas Free Fair, and individual students have won prizes for posters. The depart- ment is called upon to further in- numerable school activities. Physical Education Department Miss R'eed Mr. Barnett Miss I-Iosmer Mr. Weaver Opportunity for participation in athletic events is afforded the entire school by the physical education department. For the boys there have been intramural football, bas- ketball, tennis, baseball, and track. For the girls were offered volley ball, basketball, and tennis. A spe- cial course in horseback riding was started this winter, with both girls and women members of the faculty enrolled. Work for the Girls' Ath- letic Association and participation in the pep clubs has been fostered among girls of all three classes. The Study Halls and Library Miss Boughton Mrs. Fudge Miss True Miss Crawford, librarian Miss Elliott Miss Sage Miss Green Miss Weisser Two study hall directors were added during the year - Miss Emma Sage and Miss Esther Weis- ser. This was necessary because of the increased enrollment in the spring term. The library staff also was increased by another assistant, when Miss Helen Green changed at mid-term from study hall duty to the library. Many students aid in the work of the library. Page Twelve Belle R. Snyder The C Miss Snyder, director With a staff Josephine Lindsley afeterla Miss Lindsley, cashier of 28 men and women helpers and 38 student workers, Miss Belle R. Snyder and Miss Josephine Lindsley, assisted by Mrs. Mabel Dunham, are hostesses each noon to the majority of Topeka High School's enroll- ment. In addition they serve many groups connected with the school at luncheons and banquets. Approximately 450 to 500 stu- dents are served in each of the three thirty-five minute periods. The last ten minutes students are priv- ileged to leave the cafeteria and go into the corridors and out-of- doors. The School Nurse Miss Beal Attending to the ills of several dozen of the 2,000 students daily, Miss E. Fredericka Beal maintains an office noted for its friendly'min- istrations. The famous pepper- mint water remedy, however, has cured many a student who pre- ferred being ill for an hour to tak- ing a test. A corps of special proc- tors receive valuable training in the office. The Office Force Miss Edson Miss McMurtrie Miss Senft Q Though the office force was de- creased this year from four to three, the secretaries have kept school routine unchanged. While the three share many duties, Miss Carolyn Edson has charge of the attendance and the telephone ex- change: Miss Janet McMurtrie of the desk and school finances: and Miss Bertha Senft of records and transcripts. Miss Leonette Breihan, whose picture does not appear, is night school secretary.
