But also, these young men and women look forward, and before them are their visions. In the words of Shakespeare: . . . in her highest vision fshej looks to the world of men, not the world of books. Go forward to your visions, Troians, but turn back sometimes, too. And for those times when you will return to former years, we offer this yearbook, in hopes that we have caught some little memory of the happy days of your youth. f 't . f L sf v -,A Mf' r- ' -. , 'rs rrf ffiwwsgw I J' Q' aft?

The Wheel of Time rotates always toward new horizons, ideas, and people. Although it is in no way possible to cease this rotation, we have the ability to remember the sunlit days of our last year at high school. Homecoming, the games and varsities, the All-School Party, the operetta, and finally commencement have all made deep impressions on us, to endure for as long as we wish to recall them. Looking into the future resembles a revolving kaleidoscope-at each convolution appears an entirely different scene, but remaining always are the precious memories we hold of the most joyful of all our school days-our Senior year.

This recommendation was an all-student idea, proving the amount of voice the students do have in the government of our school. The student congress is modeled after the legislature of the United States with an upper house to model the Senate and a lower house as the House of Representatives. The upper house, Student Council, led by the president of the student congress, Del- mont Hadley, and vice-president and speaker of the council, John Fadely, spon- sored the All School Party, Jalopy Parade, and Student Congress Week. The lower house is composed from one representative from each homeroom.

Mr. Weaver's aid has not been personal or direct, but by his leadership of the entire school, he has given us the incentive to collect the 1953 SUNFLOWER. Some may think it odd that a dedication should come . WEAVER so far into the book. But we feel and know that Mr. Weaver is so close to his work as principal of Topeka high school that he should be with those with whom he works to formulate our life here at Troy. Therefore, we take our hats off to the man who is so devoted to his iob and to us. Qc. Mr. Weaver does some of his fine work in aiding the student body.

Among the agonizing experiences for the stu- dent body was that memorable time of the tuberculosis X-rays. It wouldn't have been too bad, if it hadn't been snowing. Unusual excitement was generated by the cheerleader tryouts, which revealed the back stage to be a busy place, indeed. Mobs of hopefuls crowded around, creating beautiful havoc. The serious side of life showed up as we paused in our rush to pay homage to Armistice day. A very beau- tiful tableau pointed out the wonderful job the Red Cross has done in war. Last, but not least, came the shock to end all shocks -the shocking pink in the upper halls, that is. Yes, everyone remembers the spectacular new color scheme dreamed up by the painters to liven our day. JOHN CASSON ell' President e unmrd We in the junior class are in the middle of everything. Behind us is the memory of our sophomore year: ahead we can see the bright ' Q vision of the senior year to come. For two years we have seen class day and commencementp next ' ' 'Q year these things will be ours. In the year to come we will be the big ' ,' wheels, the top class, the seniors.

Usihess Ma noger NG BOB Kl Editor ll THE EWS Sa!! MA,,f,J From enrollment to finals, all the important events of the first semester were covered in the fall World for the enjoyment of the readers. The excitement of election time, the pageantry of homecoming, the gaiety of the Junior play See How They Run, the All-School Party, and Sadie Hawkins Day-all these had their places on the pages of the fall World, along with other events, both large and small. Piloted by Bob King, editor, the fall World set down on paper the day by day happenings in assemblies, classes, and extracurricular activities. The World had begun the yearly task which must be carried on by the new staff in the spring. 19-I Margaret Hill, Nancy Hamon, Malcom King, and Donna McNett struggle with the business side of the WORLD. ER SCRNN BOB Editor THATS lll lll Plll T' yaring mr!! The Spring World was a new World. This new paper had five columns, making room for more sports, minor sports, Tro-Jane and Tro-Joe, Question of the Week, more pictures, classroom news, more features, and longer editorials. Junior-Senior Prom, Vagabond King, the spring plays, Your Show, St. Valentine's Day Varsity, student government, clubs, organizations, sports, and many other things of interest to the pupils of THS were covered by the World news-hounds. Under the guidance of Bob Scrivner, editor-in- chief, the staff met deadlines, solicited ads, took pictures, copyread and proofread, typed, wrote head schedules, did the pasteups, and tried to eliminate the horror of no story. These people found that there is more to publishing a high school newspaper than trying to distribute it in the third hour classes after assembly. Assisting Scrivner were Nancy Mack, Kay Hill, Coles Krieckhaus, Jani liams, Becky Stafford, Everett Daves, John Eland, the business staff under Malcom King, and the mechanical staff under Dwaine Baker.

Yes, the 1953 Sunflower has finally been completed. It was hard work, very hard work, but it was well worth it. In this annual we have tried to portray an accurate reflection of our student life. We have worked to feature as many school activities as possible. We have tried to hit the highlights of this school year-the things you will want to hold in your memory. The Sunflower was not published without a great deal of difficulty. Naomi Utschen as editor devoted many hours of work to this publication.

T' MiMlllll lllilill IIERS MFLMKOWQP The various staffs of the 1953 Sunflower are finally able to relax and say, It's finishedl It's been a lot of work getting out the annual, but it was worth every hour spent on it. The photogra- phers have tried to take pictures you could cherish and enioy, the editorial staff has tried to keep the memories intact, and the advertising staff has struggled through sleet, snow, and puddles to get the necessary ads. The difficult task of taking and editing the pictures was very well taken care of by photogra- phers John Hubbard, Ken Blair, Larry Spurgeon, and T. J. Baker. Audra Phelon was the capable photography editor. On the business staff, Ron Albright, advertis- ing manager, and Fred Jackson, business man- ager, did a wonderful iob of designing layouts, selling advertising, and getting contracts signed. Also deserving a large share of the praise are the eleven ad solicitors who gave their time and effort to make possible this 'I953 Sunflower.

Under the direction of Election Commis- sioner Phil Mills and Election Clerk .loan Rosenwald, the campaign and balloting pro- ceeded efficiently, although not quietly. Ex- cept for a few offices, the candidates who led in the primaries retained the lead in the final election. The campaign proved to be cu lesson in democracy for the Troians, as well as fun.

The ialopy parade and election skits were viewed by an appreciative audience and promises of cakes, escalators, TV sets in every classroom, and no more hour- for-hour flew right and left. But when it was all over, the winners were given the support of the entire stu- dent body, and the riotous two weeks ended in the same spirit of good fun in which it had begun. .411 'CGD-f f QLXLZ ,..... - FADEQY, Above And they say national campaigns are bad!

The cadets, who are sponsored by Charles Shoyer, acted as disc jockeys, served refreshments at the concession stand, and worked as general hanclymen. Without the aid of these cadets, who were on the iob at every varsity, the varsities would not have been nearly so enioyable and well run.

The rest of the student body didn't find out until after the pro- gram had been concluded, and as each pair of attend- ants was announced,thunderousclapping greeted them.

Parr, Yuletide festivities began early this year as THS students celebrated Christmas with the Troy family at the 1952 All-School Party. The fun began when the family turned on the television set, and Garther Oddfrey brought his talent show into their living room. Oddfrey's talent included everything from a Dixieland band through a cat dance, skate dance, and popular songs to a singing commercial. More serious thoughts prevailed as a singing telegram arrived from Grandfather and Grandmother Troy's son in Korea, and the audience paused to remember those who wouldn't be home for Christmas. The TV set was turned off and the family went to bed, but the gaiety had only begun. The living room was taken over by Santa and his helpers. As the Christmas toys came to life, enter- tainment was provided by the elves Hardrock, Coco, and Joe, and various toys, including the monkey who almost didn't make it through her number, the Hot Canary , and the Dutch dolls.

High in the hopes of every member of the music department is the hope that perhaps he will some- day be a member of the Madrigal Singers. This group is composed of the best singing talent in Topeka High. They carry the heaviest schedule of any choral group, singing before high schools, civic clubs, church organizations and service audiences. The Choir, in black robes and gold stoles, is the largest mixed choral group. They perform many times during religious assemblies. The Madrigal Singers and the Choir are under the direction of Don Gleckler.

First you saw them in parades, later at the football and basketball games, and then came their big moment-the spring concert. Under the direction of George Neaderhiser and C. J. McKee, the Trojan Band made music all year, providing pep for assemblies and games, and entertainment at the concert, proving their ability as both a marching and concert band. A variety of music, ranging from symphonies to the popular Blue Tango, was played by the Trojan Orchestra. This organization played at several events during the year, climaxing with their spring concert. The orchestra is directed by C. J. McKee and George Neaderhiser. 132 slv n wma Music 'lC! HUC!

Organizations must have officers to keep them running smoothly, and the band and orchestra are no exceptions. Heading the list of band officers this year was Larry Shultz, president. Huberta Ellithorpe served as business manager, Dale Schuler and Marilee Poort as social chairmen, NaDyne Underwood and Ann Johnson as librarians, and Maribeth Henney and Marilee Poort as uniform proctors. Jim Roper was student conductor of this musical organization. Officers of the orchestra included president, Sherry Tabor, business manager, Tom Moore: social chairmen, Betsy Stoffer and Jim Roper, and reporter, Nancy Mack. NaDyne Under- wood and Ann Johnson performed the duties of librarians, and Huberta Ellithorpe was the student conductor. 'F M9443- al mms , lf, ,f X X ix 'X , l ' 5 . A , X. N wg x.

Troy finished with a 4-3-I showing for the season, including wins over Emporia, Wyandotte, Wichita East, and Wichita North: and losses to Lawrence, Manhattan, and Shawnee Mis- sion. The Troians' lone tie of the year came in a crucial home contest with cross-town rival, Highland Park.

There was much tension in the crowd as the first half of the football game was played, for there had been various rumors, each claiming a different girl as the selected one.

A record of 'IO won, 7 lost, attest well to this fact. Ot the seven lost, two were by two or less points, so the team was really better than the record.

Winning the final meet of the season, Topeka High's swimming team received more than their share of the bumps in posting a meager 1-8 record for the year. The Troians, who finished with a 3-8 standing last year, got off to a late season start, and lack of practice proved to be a determining factor. Vernon Hayes, B football cooch, assumed coaching reins this year after it was realized that no successor to Chuck Mills, coach last year, was to be found. SWIMMING TEAM, First row: Gary Rowles, J. B.

Fink, had a short time for practice rounds. Tennis chances appeared slim at the outset of the 1953 season as only a handful of prospects returned. Coached again this year by Bob Briggs, the netmen finished with a showing somewhat similar to the 1952 season. Baseball Coach Jack Dean had a host of returning mono- gram winners to bolster this year's crew. The Deanmen, with the firearms of hurlers Bob Morris, Ralph Luce, and Ray Stockwell, proceeded through a fairly successful season.

Troy Janes is an athletic organization for the girls of Topeka High. The Troy Janes offer the girls intramural sports such as tennis, basketball, softball, and badminton in which the girls can participate. The girls work for an award by participation in the activities. The awards are first a letter, then a green sweater, a gold pin, and finally one girl is chosen from the girls who have earned the most points. She receives the biggest honor that Topeka High gives in girls' athletics, which is to have her name placed on the bronze plaque in the girls' gym office. The Pep Club officers were elected by the members of the regular pep and the honor pep clubs. Lois Alberg was elected president. The other officers head the committees for the regular pep, such as point membership, publicity, and assembly committees. Miss Patricia Key and Miss Jean Cooper, girls' athletic instructors, choose the Senior Leaders from among the senior girls who are interested in sports. The senior leaders, wearing white shorts and blouses, help the gym teachers in the class by taking roll, being referees and by helping the teachers to show the right technique in sports.

Despite a small setback when accused of poor sportsman- ship, the Pep club of Topeka High bounced through the season as full of pep, yells, and vigor as when the season started. The Honor Pep club, consisting of girls who earned Honor Pep sweaters and letters through faithful service in the regular Pep club, were always on hand to form the white T on a field of black. Their yells sparked the teams to even greater efforts and playing. The clubs were led in yelling by the cheerleaders, who were elected in a school-wide election. The cheerleaders led each yell with overwhelming pep and energy. The A team cheerleaders were iuniors and seniors, the B team cheerleaders were chosen from the sophomore class.
