ESS than a century ago the land on which Topeka now stands was unbroken prairie. Then as the tide of empire westward took its way, the ox-teams of the emigrants plodded across the hills of eastern Kansas, only to van- ish in the '7O's before the steady advance of' if the great railroads. With the coming of railroad transportation Topeka's future was assured. Four railroads built lines through the capital of Kansas, one of them establishing here its main offices and shops. These railroads, together with the other industries attracted to the city by its excellent transportation facilities, have made Topeka what it is today-a city affording more than usual opportunities for prosperity, service, edu- cation, and enjoyment. Topeka High School, like every other school in Topeka, owes its many advantages to the standards set by the builders of these railroads, who combined utility with beauty, and strength with vision. To the railroads, therefore, Topeka High School dedicates the 1946 Sunflower.
