 «r.v. - Elegant? In appreciation of our com- munity and its citizens, the yearbook staff has chosen “simple elegance” as its theme this year. This reflects the feeling that our citizens are good, wholesome, honest people. Wamego, Kansas, can be described as a town of “simple elegance.” Nestled along the bank of the Kansas River, the “Queen City of the Kaw” is home for nearly 3000 people. Wamego can boast of good schools for its children, beau- tiful churches, flourishing businesses, a low crime rate, fresh, unpolluted air, an at- tractive city park, and good clean living for its residents. Wamego’s “simple ele- gance” is reflected through the lifestyles and peaceful- ness of the community. Wa- mego is full of well-kept, beautiful homes that are in- teresting to see. Wamego’s city park ap- peals not only to students, but to everyone. Sportsmen can swim, play tennis, bas- ketball, or have a baseball game. The park provides education for historical buffs and birdwatchers. The stat- ues, the Dutch Mill, the band- stand, and the cannon make our park a scenic place to rest or relax. Wamego, the “simply ele- gant” community, has much to offer its citizens and visi- tors. Wamego is a perfect place to grow up, a beautiful place to live, and an interest- ing place to visit. The well-known “Old Hwy. 24 provides a scenic drive year-round. The Old Dutch Mill reconstructed piece by piece in 1924 has added beauty to our community and is a tourist attraction. Tonya Karnowsk, Teresa Mosely, and Junior Mosely, Wamego children, enjoy good clean fun.
