I' u-.-.-. - H- 9 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY What a race, what a finishl For a while it didn't look like they had a chance. The reason for this conversation was the spectacular winning finish put on by one of the relay teams at the Drake relays, after many had given up hope for a victory for them. A detailed story of how the Kaitchess team came through for their triumph came out in the News-Sun. Iune 4, 1936-At eight o'clock tonight, H. M. Dixon, athletic director of Kaitchess, with all the simple ceremony of the Greek games, will present laurel wreaths to his victorious. students, seventy-three in number, who, against great odds, spurted to a winning finish one stride ahead of their nearest rivals, the Malus Marks te-am. The winning time was four years. The Runners were as follows: Donald Gunsaullus, Thomas Renkenberger, Mary Alice McDaniel, Ierome Rupp, Everest Wible, Howard Misselhorn, Edward Stoeckley, Ioe Deal, Ruth Browand, David Runden, Morton Holcomb, with Misselhorn because of his endur- ance again running, as anchor man. The trainers were Mr. Carl Hamman, Miss Cath- erine Newnam and Miss Verna Page. The teams colors were Blue and Silver with the anchor man dressed in a flashing Blue and Gold outfit. Four teams were entered, Malus Marks being the favorite to win by thirty yards. As the gun cracked the lead-off men flashed away from their starting blocks. The Kaitchess team ran well but being unacquainted with the track lost much time in ss- ing the baton. When the second team received the baton a substantial gap lay the Malus Marks who were ahead and the Kaitchess thinlies. The second teqnf-tfiwhich had trained longer and had seen the mistakes made by the leadoff bunch tookzjsfrides which were smoother, easier, and longer. The baton passing was still a little ifncertain but it, too, had quickened. The Iuniors added a special trainer, Miss Ruth Sherman who inspired them to greater efforts with Skidding, a successful thifee-act comedy. ln this stretch Kaitchess went into the lead but near the end they tired badly, mostly due to the Banquet work and when the Senior group got started the Marks again were leading by twenty yards. During the rest of the race the lead changed as often as the batons. On the last turn Misselhorn, Kaitchess anchor man, pushed ahead to snap the tape a foot to the good. With Miss Eva Robertson directing, the group presented Growing Pains which aided also in the victory. The training table of the athletes consisted of juicy curriculum steak with Club salads. Miss Verna Page, head trainer is largely responsible for the fine condition of the ath- letes during the last two years. CLASS OFFICERS Freshman Iunior President ...................,..,.

IUNIOR CLASS RECORD ln 1934 the present Iunior class made its first bid for honors in Kei .dallville High School, as Freshmen. The class elected Rose Hubler, President, Norman Reed, Vice President, Iohn Howerton, Secretary-treasurer, and Miss Albright, Sponsor. The class proudly assumed the name of Sophomore in l935, and chose Miss Newnam, Sponsor, Iohn Howerton, President, Patty Williams, Vice President, and George Busang, Secretary-treasurer. Our class party was held on Novem- ber 24. We lost Miss Newnam in mid-semester, and asked Miss Albright to take her place. ln the spring we had another party. When we rose to the rank of Iuniors, we selected Miss Sawyer as Sponsor, Iohn Howerton, President, Gerry Del-loff, Vice President, and George Busang, Secretary-treasurer. Our motto is Three down and One to go, black and silver are our colors, and our flower is the American Beauty Rose. ln late October the class held a Hobo Party. Everyone had a good time to the tune of hot music and cold cider. Dancing and group contests afforded the entertainment. Our rings, chosen in October, arrived in early November. There was a choice of type of ring, but all were the same design. Most of the class pur- chased rings. On November 25 and 26 we presented our class play, The Nut Farm. As a result of its success we are looking forward to an elaborate Iunior-Senior Banquet which will be May 20. The Iuniors are devoting much time toward this event.
