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.

HONORS have come to Topeka be- cause of the Menninger Foundation, the Gage Park Zoo and its Rain Forest, and the Mid-America Fair. The Menninger Foundation had its beginnings in 1925, in a farmhouse out- side of Topeka which is still used as its headquarters. In 1941, Karl and Wil- liam Menninger established the Men- ninger Foundation for Psychiatric Edu- cation and Research. The Gage Park Zoo is world re- nowned for its ability to reproduce young in captivity and its beautiful Tropical Rain Forest, which was dedi- cated on May 24, 1974, and is the only one in the world. Several Gage Park Zoo animals have reproduced, some bc- ing the only ones to do so while in cap- tivity. The Zoo has the only American Golden Eagles which have reproduced in captivity. In 1972, six Bengal tigers were born at the Zoo setting a world's record for having the most Bengal tigers born during captivity. Sunflower, the Zoo's giraffe, was the only One born in Kansas. ' Topeka attracts visitors from all over the state during the week of the Mid- America Fair. Approximately 250,000 people visited the 1975 Fair. Besides many rides and booths, entertainers are the main attractions at the fair. Topeka has had such famous people as the Os- monds, Olivia Newton-John, Mac Da- vis, Tanya Tucker, Country and West- ern celebrities and other performers. ll
