MUCH of Topcka's growth can be attributed to her commerce and indus- try. Papan's Ferry crossed the Kansas River at a site near the present day city of Topeka. This successful trading post and ferryboat service, established in 1840, marked the beginning of business in Topeka. Papan's Ferry is no longer in existence, and along with it have gone some of the once familiar sights in To- peka: the corner grocery store, the coal and ice delivery wagon, and the livery and carriage repair shop. Other busin- esses such as the Santa Fe Railway, or- ganized in 1854, continued to grow and change with the city, Besides the established companies, Topeka continually attracts new firms and industries to the area, improving on her expanding business community. The influence of business is evident at THS. A variety of business related courses are offered, and students also have an opportunity to enroll in the Co- operative Education program. THS has student organizations such as Future Business Leaders of America and Voca- tional Clubs of America for those inter- ested in the commercial side of the com- munity.

AN American architectural mix, ranging from Gothic to modern styles, can be found throughout, the Topeka area. ' i C THS is one of Topeka's most beauti- ful buildings. Before beginning con- struction, the Topeka Board of Educa- tion made an extensive study of many schools in order to make the ideal struc- ture for THS. Approximately 1,600 people took part in the building design. The architect, Mr. Thomas W. Wil- liamson, took the ideas and compiled them into one unique building plan. Completed in 1931, THS was the first million-dollar school in the nation and won the 1961 Bellamy Award. The Trojan library is patterned after Hamp- ton Court in England which was Henry VIIl's royal castle outside London. Our famous Gothic tower is a combination of designs used in several English towers. The main design used was the Cambridge tower. THS cafeteria was modeled after a Grosse-Point, Michigan cafeteriag and the auditorium, with a seating capacity of 2,408, is in Gothic style.
