Clarksville has been gotten.

As for Tilden Tech, the ground rules have gotten tougher as we've gone along. This isn't Jeopardy; you can't give your answer in the form of a question.

Do you want to make a positive statement about Tilden?

She's from good Scandaroovian (I think?) stock and went by the name Doris Severtson.

Wichita, KS had six or seven high schools sixty years ago. I don't know when there was a single Wichita, KS HS but Jim Ryun went to Wichita East, although he lived in Wichita SE school district.

[lonewolf]

I have a nagging memory that there was an Olympic thrower or decathlete from Wichita early in the last century but cannot come up with a name.
