T Club initiation is one of the highlights of the year, with initiates being made to do Whatever the members tell them to. Between the hard work and time put in to earn a TH sweater, and the good-natured hazing just before the initiation, membership into the club is con- sidered one of the biggest honors a boy can earn. T Club President John Knoll was elected in the fall along with Bill Roberts, Vice-Presi- dent, and Dean Smith, Secretary. Faculty Sponsor is D. L. Erwin.

rank high in VARSITY ALEX LUNA Guard FQOTB LL Great Bend's Panthers went down before Topeka 14-6, and the Trojans made their Homecoming a success by whip- ping Wyandotte 20-7. The Wyandotte game ended the regular season, but, be- cause of its good record, Topeka was asked to play in a post season game Thanksgiving Day at Clay Center. Proving worthy of their invitation, Trojans rolled over their hosts 27-14 to wind up play for the season. Three Trojan gridders won recognition for their play in the 1948 season. Cofaptain John Knoll copped the First team All-State center berth, and haliback Dean Boyles and end Bill Roberts were voted to the Third All-State team. In amassing their record scores for the year, Topeka used many underclassmen. Sixteen squad members are returning to bolster Troy's hopes for next season.
