TCDPEHQ-HIGH-SCHOCJL. SU U PLC LUCP1 QDECADES after having won- a prominent position in American history, the traditionally romantic American frigate Constitution+'fOld Ironsides . as it is known to young patriots-holds students of Topeka High School directly under its spell. An actual part of the historic ship, its lower foreyard arm, daily weaves about them its inspiration of strength, high courage, and integrity. Because it is the embodiment of these characteristics, a silent influence each year upon the lives and ideals of more than two thousand students, the good ship Constitu- tion through its member spar will form the theme of this yearbook, the 1934 Sunflower. The spar was obtained for Topeka High School from the United States Navy in 1930 when the ship was being restored, the movement being sponsored by Barton Phelps, June 1901, the Topeka Board of Education, and the Honorable Charles Curtis, then Vice-President of the United States. The former mast arm's eighty feet of pio- neer New England timber was erected in a replica ship- deck framework of steel and wood and was dedicated to its present service before a brilliant assemblage of national leaders and students. Stationed near the entrance to the school auditorium, the spar flaunts in the winds the colors it fought so valiantly and successfully to protect. Far from the scene of its former glory it pierces the blue Kansas skies, a sen- tinel challenging the spirit of youth. x'i l . l
