In the islands of the Pacific, in Italy, on every sea today are men and Women who carry with them treasured mind-pic- tures of our building, beautiful and friendly. We who are present stu- dents are photographing for our- selves similar pictnres that we shall cherish in future years. ln a World at war we are fortunate to keep our school intact, a shrine to which all may return. Our building is a home of memories to those Who have left it, a happy reality to those who are students now, and a dream for those Who are yet to enter its halls. L.. at :. ,L 5 -: , A L.

He demonstrated his leadership as vice-president oi the Student Congress and as proctor captain. Probably the secret oi the school's confidence in hi.m lies in his ability to get things done with conscientious energy.

Yet we have given to the school the best in social life cmd entertainment. The Iunior play, Streetcar in the Attic, polled a larger audience than has been seen at a school dramatic production in years. The Iunior-Senior Prom gave the school the top-notch in formal dancing. The beautiful daisy chain will set a lovely atmosphere for the graduates of '44 at Moore Bowl at Commencement.

Before these students lay responsibilities and op- portunities that would become a large factor in determining their stay at Topeka High. Campaigning with enthusiasm the Sophomores put the following group into office in the October election: Dick Mechem, president: Russell Davis, vice-president: Peggy -Scott, secretary-treasurer: Virginia Butler, social chainnan: and Ioy Scrinopskie, lim Grimes, and Charlotte Reiber, Student Council representatives. When lim Grimes moved to Kansas City during the fall term, Nancy Crosby was named alternate to fill his position. Scholastic and athletic ability has been well represented by the Sophomores. An example of one type of talent was shown at the Sophomore party, January 17. All entertainment in the show was provided by members of the class. Dancing and re- freshments were featured, along with the amusement. At mid-year the incoming Sophomores brought the number enrolled to approximately 725. This group was inducted with the usual ceremony, but worked under the officers elected in the fall. -Dick Mechem, l40l ss ,L Class FI946 H H The entire balcony is given over to the Sophomore class, with Mrs. Esther Kingman in charge: Other teachers in charge of the Sophomores in assemblies are: Mr. Barnett r Miss Kerr Miss Bitter Miss Loomis Miss Boyles Mr. Lund Miss Culver Mr. Myers Miss Duckwall Mr. Mills Mr. Ellithorpe Miss Oman Mrs. Fudge Mrs. Rohrs Miss Fuller Mr. Rue Mr. Gardner Miss Grandon Mrs Esther Kingman Miss Hopkins Chamnan of Sophomore sponsors Miss Hunt Mr. Seaman Miss Tomson Miss Tnie Sophomore Little Sisters are introduced into one of Troy's chief pastimes-dancing - u l41:l Will Graduate May, 1946 if ' gf I Sy gg, Q W g, ,sf 117533 ,H P Q X ' Qffii K sgzg, K 1 2' 'L :is f 3 T: gg 1, s 3 1 ,sk Q E155 MH , , , 41' '3- g, Y it 15, 1. .

At the conclu- sion of Dr. Kenneth McFar1and's second year. as Superintendent of Schools in Topeka the changes and improvements in our school system cannot go unrecognized. Although many teachers have been called into service, they have been quickly replaced. In tact, most of the emergencies, that have arisen have passed unnoticed by the public, be- cause of the able leadership of Dr. McFarland and the Board of Education. Present mem- bers of the Board of Education are: Charles R. Bennett fpresidentl, Marlin S. Casey lvice- presidentl, A. H. Saville, Kelsey H. Petro, Mrs. David -Neiswangerpand I. W. F. Hughes.

Stark Acting Principal fi B Acfirggwregvgl- :ce-plinclb I Q E4 Changes were many this year. With new administrators required from the opening of school because of the illness of Principal Willard N. Van Slyck, Vice-Principal S. H. Stark became Acting Principal and E., B. Weaver became Acting Vice-Principal. Mr. Weaver's work as Dean of Boys was di- vided between Carl P. Snyder, E. L. Fink, and D. L. Erwin. Only Miss Annabel Pringle. Counsellor of Girls, retained the same duties. Much shifting of offices was necessary, -and an entire new office force was installed. Mr. Stark proved a veteran from the be- ginning. Under his leadership the counsel- ling plan was strengthened and enrollment was speeded up. A new assembly seating plan was inaugurated and a student as- sembly committee encouraged to function. In every way the executives of the school tried to improve school work and keep a normal, happy atmosphere in a year that was not normal: Faculty Counsellors AID IN CHOICE OF VOCATIONS Oiiice workers. consti- tuting the new force in- stalled last fall, keep records and tiles that make the wheels of school machinery tum smoothly. Miss Barbara Iohnson, lower , leit. heads the group. She is assisted by Miss Ioanne Wallace and Miss Ha- zel Konantz Cstandingl and Miss Barbara War- din Cseatedl. Counselling this year grew up, developed past the point of experiment. Divi- sion heads had worked earnestly to place students properly and to adjust counsellors' loads, and the results were evident in a smooth-functioning organization. The Coun- selling system, in its fourth year, had established its practical value. Group I, with an enrollment of approximately 225 students has been directed by Loren Nuzman of the Industrial Arts department. It is made up of pupils who have decided upon a vocation and are carrying it on at the same time they are Working for a high school diploma. Such courses as Cooperative Retail Selling and Vocational Auto-mechanics are included. Assisting teachers are Homer Coy, Ken- neth H. Meyers, Fred R. Powers, H. D. Shotwell, and Albert H. Winter. Group II, under the guidance of Miss Bernice Finley, gives about 375 students the personal advice oi ll teachers, who help those who have not yet decided upon a vocation. They assist students in finding their own fitness for various occupations. Teachers in this group include W. II. Barnett, Miss Gladys Bitter, Wayne Gardner, C. A. Hays. Mrs. Helen Miller, M.rs. Verna Nims, Mrs. Helen Rohrs, Carl P. Snyder, Miss Ella P. True, Mrs. Fayeben Wolfe, and Miss Milicent Hosmer. Miss Berniece Stonebraker is the statistician. Group III, often called the Commerce group, is made up of about 375 students who take special commercial training in high school, expecting either to go directly into business positions upon graduation or to continue business administration in col- lege. Iohn E. Lund is Group III chairman. He is assisted by Miss Bernice Boyles, Miss Elizabeth Culver, Miss Rida Duckwall, Mrs. Lucile Ely, Miss Frances Hutchison, t tsoll I Miss Evelyn McCauley, Dean McNabb, Charles Mills, Miss Amy Swenson, and Willard G. Thorpe. Group IV leads in enrollment, having some 585 students who are preparing for definite professions which they will practice after graduation from college. For so large a group Miss Ruth Stout, chainnan,has the help of three statisticians and four general counsellors. A. M. Seaman, head statistician, is aided by Miss Rosella Kerr and Miss Harriet Tomson. General counsellors include Miss Mabel Fry, D. L. Erwin. H. F. Ellithorpe, and Miss Olive Collins. Specific counsellors are Miss Edna Austin, Miss Georgina Bleakley, Miss Alma Calvert, Miss Mary Davis, Miss Merle Fowler, Don M. Gleckler. Miss Laura Hanley, Iohn H. Hoehner, Miss Ruth E. Hunt, I. W. Iones, Miss Mabel Kingsley, Miss Ruth Loomis, Miss Iva Oman, G. C. Rieniets, Miss lean Robertson, Miss Minnie Stewart, Miss Annette Webb, and Miss Gertrude Wheeler. Group V includes some 325 students who expect to go to college, but have not yet decided upon the work they will enter upon graduation from a college or uni- versity. Miss Robena Pringle heads this group. Teachers working under her direc- tion are E. L. Fink, Mrs. Rachel Fudge, Miss Ethel Frizell, Miss Berenice Fuller, Miss Ruth Grandon, Miss Mary Hopkins, Mrs. Esther Kingman, C. I. McKee, Miss Ora McMillen, Miss Ruth Phillips, Robert Rue, and Miss Carmie Wolfe. Numbers in the five groups total almost 200 more than the actual enrollment of the school. However, they represent all students who have been in school during the year.

N. Van Slyck, principal. To meet the emergency they adapted themselves to many changes in schedule and subject. Changes in personnel were inevitable. Ernest Vanek and Claire I. Mills went into service last summer. and Lloyd Kistler became a Red Cross field worker. Mrs. Vanek left the faculty to ac- company her husband, and Miss Esther Hobson and Miss Enid Wolcott entered other work. Miss Abigail McElroy, Miss Caroline Morse, Miss Bertha Senft, F. A. McCoy, and Albert H. Winter were retired, although Mr. Winter returned this fall to continue-his work in industrial arts tem- porarily. Miss Virginia Welty was 1ent to Washburn University's language department. In spite of these losses, only six new teachers were added: Miss Gladys Bitter, Mrs. Helen Miller, Mrs. Helen Rohrs, Wayne Gardner, Bob- ert Rue, and Willard Thorpe. As only one teacher was giving full time to study hall duty, many teachers served in the study halls one or more periods daily: others assisted in the library. Reclassification of men with families this spring pointed to the loss of several more men from the faculty before next fall. lszl 4 I 'W ft , ,W 5, H 5,5 I - .1 - vim! Q.

In addi- tion the clothing classes made 50 bags and filled 25 with candy, soap, toothpaste, and other small articles. lane Murrow Day, honoring a Topeka High student who succumbed to in- fantile paralysis last summer, netted S183 for the polio drive. Two paper drives salvaged 2,380 pounds of scrap paper. Two rag drives brought in two truckloads of rags. For the Christ- mas fund and the National Children's Fund the school donated 382.31 and S75 respectively. One of the last drives of the year, the record collec- tion, added 1,500 old records to the American Legion's call for discs to be remade for servicemen.

Despite labor short- ages, priorities. and difficulties increased by war which threatened to disrupt the work, no staff member would call it anything but a pleasure. The business staff was unusually large this year, and was supervised by an energetic Iunior, Bill Righter. Spurred on by Bill's example, the staff worked long and hard to bring new life to the advertising section of the Sunflower.

Though saddened at the outset by the death of their principal, W. N. Van Slyck, the spring World staff went resolutely ahead. Support of school activ- ities rose to a new high. The Ghost Train, leaving behind a near capacity crowd, an enthusiastic Beat Newton campaign, the State Basketball finals cheered to an upset finish by an overflowing crowd -such big news was not routine. Much was cen- tered around the school's part in the war effort-a spirited Fourth War Loan campaign by the Victory Corps, a Iunior Red Cross 100 per cent membership drive, a pre-induction clinic and trade school for boys about to enter service.

New restrictions were added to fit the war-time needs-only one bar of ice cream, one glass of Water and one nap- kin to each student. The silverware was placed at the end of the lunch line in- stead of the beginning, and it was ar- ranged so that the students could take just the pieces they needed. Miss Eunice Younqquist, director of the cafeteria, and Miss Ianet McMurtrie, her assistant, had the extra burden of counting ration points. E. L. Fink, head of the faculty committee, had a group of five teachers to help him supervise the diners. They were Miss Ethel Frizell, Dean McNabb, Miss Alma Calvert, G. C. Rieniets, and Miss Ruth Grandon. Third Lunch Whxtlow McCarthy, Wright Row 1: Wagy, Endlich, Miss Stout lsponsorl, Collins, Righter, Anderson, Iackson Row-2: Hough. Hill, Lake. Schuler Debaters at Topeka High were novices this year, as there were no Seniors on the team and only one boy had debated in the past. The subject was on the advisability of America's joining a reconstituted League of Nations. The teams attended tournaments at Shawnee Mis- sion, Wyandotte, Salina, and Lawrence. Four- teen teams participated in a toumament at Topeka High. . Team members have participated in many activities in addition to regular debating. They entered practice debates at the University of Kansas, and in Topeka. Orations, infonnative speeches, extemporaneous speeches, and read- ings were given at K. U. during a two-day speech festival. Members of the team have given addresses on national and intemational government to various local civic groups. Every- one has made an intensive study of political science and international government. Nine members of the team qualified for the National Forensic League. Norman Collins. Leatrice Endlich, Patricia Jackson, and Iack Hill regularly handled the affirmative side of the debate question. Bill Righter, Sally Anderson, Lee Wagy, and Kenny Lake specialized in the negative. Bob Schuler and Henry Hough handled both sides of the question. Norman Collins won the most Forensic League points: Leatrice Endlich was second. The Snack Shop has been a Debate team enterprise. Proceeds from the .Snack Shop are used to help finance trips to other schools, and to purchase literature pertaining to the League of Nations. Money was also raised through the management of the coke har at varsities. Under the guidance of Miss Ruth Stout, the debate team members worked an average of two nights a week through the school year.

This spring when the drive in Topeka High for funds for the in- fantile paralysis fight was launched as lane Murrow Day. Iane's girl friends went to each classroom. The generous response was proof of the entire schoo1's respect and love for a vivid, sunny-tempered classmate. 6144.0 ZL6ll4fL Bom February 6, 1928-Died April 2. 1944 IRIS TUNE CALKINS was a Sopho- more at the time of her death in early April, but she brought with her 'from East Topeka Iunior High an enviable record for scholarship, leadership. and fine character. Though she moved to Topeka only in the ninth grade, in that one year she became head cheer leader, proctor, and stu- dent council senator.

U 'lA HERITAGE OF DEMOCRACY Topeka High's all-school election this year again provided the student body with an opportunity to determine its own type of government and to select its own officials. Through the Student Congress, made up of the Student Council and the Representative Council, the individual student has a voice in saying how the school should be run, for the two groups vote on most school policies. , . . Directed by an election commissioner and an election clerk. the first step in preparation is the regis- tration of students by classes. To become a candidate, the office seeker must circulate a petition to be signed by 25 students. All students are required to register with the election clerk to be eligible to vote. Of the 1,300 who registered last fall, nearly 100 per cent participated in the final run-off. , After a pre-primary meeting to test the oratorical skill of the candidates. the ranks are thinned out by the primary election. This leaves two candidates for each office. except in the case of the Student Coun- cil representatives, when six remain after the primary. Candidates have opportunity to further their campaigns by speeches at the pre-primary meeting. and by election signs and cards posted in the main lobby at either side of the entrance. Winners in the general elections do not find their newly acquired jobs all glory, for each position en- tails work in some part of school government. - The Oath of, Office. administered by Chief lustica Dawson in an assembly October 29. brought to a climax an exciting race and stresses the responsibility each successful candidate owes to his country. his state, and his school. Governor Schoeppel's brief address carried with it congratulations to the school on its system of election, the all-valuable heritage of democracy.

The presidency of the Congress was held by Bob Taggart until his graduation at mid- year, when Vice-President Bill Wall took over the position. Each class was represented by its president and three elected members. The president of the Colored Advisory Coun- cil, the alternates, the editor of the Topeka High School World, and the secretary of the Point System were ex-officio members. .Two clerks completed the membership.

Salle tazl fs Head Coach Heavy Erwin Crightb and Assistant Coach Wayne Gardner 'lleftl weigh possibilities Seven victories, one defeat, and one tie constituted the record of the 1943 foot- ball team under the tutelage of D. L. Heavy Erwin and Wayne Gardner. This was lVIr. Erwin's first year' as head coach. 'The Trojans opened their sea- son by bumping Seaman 20 to 8. A week later. the Erwinrnen wallowed in mud to hold Lawrence 12 to 6. At this point, cockiness brought on the tradi- tional last half games, with the team coasting in the first half. Ottawa Cy- clones furnished competition the first half, but luckily the Topekans came to life in time to win 26 to 7. Emporia High next fell before the Topeka juggernaut 26 to O. In the game with Wichita North, Troy dug itself out of Wichita mud with a sad score of, O to 25. The following week the Trojans came back' to dump St. Ioe Central 26 to O. Far the Black and Gold Homecoming, Wichita East. strongest team in the state. was stopped cold for the first time in the season: the game ended O to O. Topeka High's high- est score of the season was made in de- feating Leavenworth'27 to U. In the last game of 1943, Wyandotte went down 23 to 14. This was the first time Topeka had turned the tnck on the BuHdog gridiron since 1931. On the Daily Cap- ital's All-State selection, Tom Sewell was named first team end, Fred Daneke and lack Fink placed on the second team, and Don Price and Bill Wall re- ceived honorable mention.

In the regular 18-game schedule, the Trojan quintet boasted double triumphs over Lawrence, Emporia, Leavenworth, and Ottawa. It suffered twin setbacks at the hands of Wyandotte and Newton, while twin bills with Salina, Ward, and Shawnee Mission were split. Off to a slow start, the Men of Troy met defeats in tilts with Salina and Ward, but bounced right back with victories over Law- rence and Emporia. Losses to Newton and Wyandotte followed, but again the Trojans recovered with twin victories, this time over Leavenworth and Ottawa. The Topeka five hit its peak a week later when it drubbed Ward and Shawnee Mission on successive nights. A second victory over Lawrence was sand- wiched between losses to Wyandotte, Shawnee Mission, and Newton. The rest of the games were all feathers in the Topeka quintet's hat as it blazed down the final stretch with decisive victories over Leavenworth, Ottawa, Em- poria, and Salina. Iourneying to the regional tournament at Lawrence, the Golden Trojans fell before the onslaught of the Lawrence Lions, a team which they had beaten twice during the regular season. This loss eliminated them from further competition. The following night they trounced Atchison in the consolation match to round out the season.

In spite of scholastic difficulties and service calls on lettermen-only nine of the returning 13 lettermen reported for practice--track coach D. L. Heavy Erwin this year turned out his .usual strong group of thinclads. Among the stars were Bill Parsons in the dashes, Ray Steves and Dick Cummins in the distance runs. Omar Heim and Iack Paslay in the quarter mile, and Mac Geyer pacing the timber toppers. Iack Deines led in the weights department, and Don Price was a weekly five point man in the pole vault.

Louis Smith, lanky center. led the Iunior Trojans in the scoring department as he countered 168 points.

Under the direction of Mrs. Helen Miller, Mrs. Helen Rohrs, and Miss Gladys Bitter, the girls have had a workout that they and their muscles won't soon forget. Major sports have been hockey. baseball, basketball, and speedball. Among the minor sports were arch- ery, badminton, deck tennis, ping- pong, relays, and rhythms-not to mention the girls' favorite, the Victory Corps exercises! Besides all these, the girls have had chances to dance and swim after school. They have performed during the half at basketball games, and 13 girls were sent to represent Topeka High at the National Physical Fitness meeting held in Topeka this spring.

The curtain rose-and descend- ed-in a blaze of glory for the cast of the Fighting Littles, the first production of the year. As usual, the rains came and drenched ev- erything but the spirit of the play, for it had laughs in every line. The fast-moving comedy proved to be one of the most successful in the year, and was acted easily and naturally. The cast even amused themselves backstage by dancing between acts. The Little family had no end of trouble, much to the amusement of the already amused audience. Papa and Mama Little. portrayed by lack Zimmerman and Lenora Bachman, along with the rest of the family, were properly named by the author, Caroline Franck. Barbara Strong as the daughter, and Bill Righter as Filmer, the son. both carried heavy romantic roles, and kept 'em rolling in the aisles. Marion Gerber almost stopped the show with her inter- pretation of Almatina, the half-wit maid.

The all-Senior cast and staff proved to be everything that had been said of them. The cast, as passengers of a train, were forced to spend a night in the station waiting room of Clear Vale Iurlction. be- cause of a train stalled down the track. Bruce Hurd, as a willy-nilly Englishman, and spinster Sarah Heil afforded much laughter. Complications set in when the station-master Uud Greerl, attempting to frighten these intruders from the premises, dropped dead in a supernatural manner. The melodrama, full of laughs and sus- pense, spun along at a dizzy pace, keep- ing both audience and actors on the edge of their seats. The characters got mixed up with a charlatan, a mentally unbal- anced female, not to mention various ghosts-dead and alive-before the eve- ning was over. The fast-moving mystery-comedy ended -to the enjoyment of all-in romance and reconciliation for Richard Winthrop Hack Zimmermanl and his blase wife, Gloria Gadwood. The year's only thriller, The Ghost Train broke all previous records for at- tendance and blood-curdling screams. 4 x A, Lx -A L :E:7?4,, K, imf ' rj I ,W.,f,f+. 1. , x K wif ,ifffwlg :ff ' , .1 , Q 14- 1, Q ik- 3. , W.,Nfwm 4 ' H35 EI K 111 fs ,eg Mm . ,QW gf, - E Ng, as V Nye-gl ,,, ww Y ff 2 A lkfii, ' 5-f ,xx ,iiaggi gig. 5 E 3-bxN I J W , ' 'mg - I M 33?
