FACULTY EXECUTIVES by Nellie Hurtgen UR faculty has given us a grand year, and we want to say thanks. A portion of our faculty underwent a change this year. Lloyd W. Chambers as- sumed the responsibilities of director of guid- ance, the position held by the late J. F. Kaho, whose death occurred during final week last spring. To lighten Mr. Chambers' burden and to help care for the increased enroll- ment in biology, J. W. Jones was added to the faculty in the science department. Miss lrene De Mun took the position in the music department left vacant when Miss Evelyn Fulton resigned last spring to be mar- ried. Miss Caroline Morse was added to the staff as a library assistant. With the retirement of W. H. Greider, who had been a member of the faculty since 1903, P. B. Graves came to Topeka High to teach psychology, sociology and economics. Dur- ing the fall term, study hall 318 was super- MISS LAURA L. EWING W. N.VAN SLYCK Dean of.Girls A+ Work vised by Mrs. Frank Quail, a substitute teacher, but at the opening of the spring term, 313 was assigned to Miss Thelma Haney. When Miss Katherine Taber left to be mar- ried at the end of the fall term, Miss Mildred Huddleston arrived to fill the vacancy in girls' gym work. Through all these changes, however, the systematic routine goes on. Each new in- structor fits into the pattern of Topeka High School life, picks up the thread where his predecessor left off, and joins in the main- tenance of the standard of higher education achieved in our school through work and pa- tience. A great deal of Topeka High School's sta- bility and regularity is due to the unceasing work and devotion of C. H. Hepworth, vice- principal, and Miss Laura L. Ewing, dean of girls. C. H.

IN TRIBV' J. F. KAHO Deceased May 22, I935 A PRAYER I ask the gods who mold the minds of men And shape their lives, that I may have two gifts? No more: I ask for Prideg I ask for Power. Oli, not the might and vanity of Kings That I may lord it for a little dayg Nor yet the purse-proud power that comes with gold: But give, I pray, that power of hrain and arm That I may do each day with joy the work I find at hand: and act with glad assent My little part in God's vast scheme of things, The Power to give the world more than l take. The Power to be a man! .... By MARCO INIORROW. . F. KAHO hadMThe Power to be a manli' For twenty-eight years he worked quietly and intelligently with the boys and girls of Topeka High School. lt was he who inaugurated and developed the scheme of vocational guidance which has been an important factor in the lives of thousands of Topeka's young people. He was am- bitious to be of greatest service to those whose lives he touched. He always forgot himself in his desire to help others. He was a Christian gentleman, true of heart, loyal at all times, sincere and courageous in purpose. We can ill afford to lose amen of Powern such as J. F. Kaho. By W. N. VAN SLYCK.
