SENIOR CLASS i-nSToRY By the continuous process of elimination of many past senior classes, our class is now making the senior history for K. H. S. in 1938. ln looking over some of the past history of our class, we see that we first made our entrance into this high school as a class of sixty-seven eighth graders. XVith Lois Lehner, President, Don Kastner, Vice-President, Virginia jordan, Secretary-Treasurer, and Miss Sherman our Sponsor, we were a pros- perous class. We enjoyed .1 pot-luck Supper given on December 8. ln following the older classes, we also chose Old Gold and Blue .is our colors. The yellow tea rose was selected as our flower. The next year our class became very much enlarged, when the school hacks brought us many more members from the country. This year we chose: Ervin Fritz, Presidentg Elizabeth Kollman, Vice-President, Marjorie Isbell, Sec.-Treas.g and Mr. I-Iamman. Sponsor. For this year the class flower was changed to the forget-me-not. On January 17 we engaged in a social event and had a party in the little gym. This featured a large supper, entertainment, and later in the evening our futile attempt at swing. When we became Sophomores we entered the big assembly under the reign of Mr. Brumbaugh. Many of our members were participating in the activities of the high school by now and our class was beginning to gain recognition from our elders. This year the class of seventy-five chose: Edward Davey, President, Lee Bushong, Vice- Presidentg XValter Evers, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mr. Tritch, Sponsor. Our colors and flower for this year were the same as our Freshman choice. We also enjoyed a big party, held in the little gym on November 28. Our Junior year was much more active for us as a class than the past years had been. Gur officers were Lee Bushong, Presidentg DeXX'itt Cochard, Vice-President, John D: Camp, Secretary-Treasurer and Miss Sawyer our Sponsor. This year we thought that we would change our class flower and motto. Our motto became B5, Bi, but never Bb, the flower became the sweet pea, and the colors were crimson and silver. The year was started out by having a Halloween Party in the little gym on October 21. Many games were playedg punch and wafers were served. and dancing featured the program. The class gave three one-act plays: Spreading the News, A Sunny Morning and The Xvonder Hat. They were capably directed by Miss Robertson and the majority of the class members took part in these presentations. Our gold and onyx rings arrived just before Xmas and we were very proud to wear them. With our assistance, the seniors put on the Spring Flingf' The proceeds from this were used for banquet expenses. W'e worked hard and with the great help of Miss Sawyer had an interesting program, entertainment of various sorts, good food, and plenty of swing music at the Junior Senior banquet, entitled Symphony in Blue. It was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. This year we are again looking forward to having a senior play of our own, and to be in turn entertained by the Juniors at the annual banquet. W'e received our '38 sweaters this year and also sold stationery and Christmas cards to help sponsor the annual. A box social was held for this year's expenses. We shall be attentive listeners to the coming Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises, and as our certificate of a pleasant past, we finally shall receive our longed for diplomas. page mm In u

SENIOR PROPHECY Being an inventor makes it nice sometimes. Here I am, 30, and in the heart of Africa, and I have just seen my schoolmates-all of them, from the four corners of the world. I call it a telepathic television set. Telepathic because it is run by the mind. But I won't explain the technical part of it. However, it shows on it's screen anything the operator wishes to see. I have just seen my old classmates of 38 and I was sur- prised, to say the least. Frank Wiley was teaching kindergarten and had a little girl on each knee, explaining why an has a dot. You remember-a bird flew over it with a crumb of bread and left a crumb. john Dale Thomas was a famous explorer, leaving for the equator to search for brown polar bears for the Field Museum. Eleanor Wible was an orchid specialist in Hollywood. Several more of the class were in Hollywood, also. John DeCamp and Eddie Davey, I saw as make-up experts on the set of Tarzan, King of the Underbrushn, starring Lee Bushong, who has been so widely advertised as a perfect speciman of manhood. Virginia Boring was cast in the part of Tarzan's Mate. On another set I saw Harold Bryant, America's Sweetheart , making a new picture to be named, Leave 'em and Love 'emf' His leading lady is the raven-haired Jeanne Kern, a new discovery of the famous director Roy Hetrick, jr. The next scene was at Reno, where Virginia jordan had just broken all previous rec- ords by getting a divorce from her thirteenth husband. Nice work, Virginia. On a romantic looking old. ship by the seashore I saw a captain with the proverbial pipe and twinkling blue eyes, scowling at the smoke rings that floated above him. It was Delles Robbins. I saw Hilda Getts in a pink checked apron, standing on the front porch of a vine- covered bungalow, taking notes for her husband, the great writer, H. Kenestrick. In front of a farm house I saw a young man, surveying his fields. I don't know who he was because I couldn't see his face, but he was tall, slim and bronzed, and the young woman looking up at him, smiling, was June Hill. I saw Avis Brown driving a school hack. Perhaps her husband was ill that day. In Lithuania, I saw Beverly Seidel tutoring the king's three little boys. She was en- gaged to the kingls brother. I saw Betty Jane Aungst, the famous pianist, giving a concert in a large theater of London. In a small town, at the front door of a little house, I saw Dick XVarford trying to sell brushes and brooms to Donna Gerber, who definitely didn't want any. I saw Beatrice Kuckuck, the great character actress, at the Roxy, in The Wives of Henry VIII. Afterwards, I saw Mary Jane Kaufman with her troop of ballet dancers. Miss Kaufman had just returned from Europe. Also in her troop were the adagio dancers joe Berhalter and Ethelyn Anderson, professionally known as The Shieku. Pauline Frey gave her interpretation of Betty Boop. Paul Isbell, the world's greatest flag pole sitter, was up on top of the Empire State building spire and couldn,t get down. Dan Butz, a well known stunt flyer, was flying over him, dangling a rope ladder. Paul looked very distressed about it. I was delighted to have the opportunity of hearing a lecture given at I. U. by Profes- sor DeWitt Cochard, nerve and mental specialist, M. D., L. L. D., L. H. D., A. M., A. B., D., F. A. C. S., B. S., M. S., S. D., B. D., and Ph. D. Marjorie Isbell walked to the altar recently with Count Fizzwater Apoplexy, of Eu- ropean fame. They are now honeymooning on the Riviera. Sitting in a back seat in a corner at the wedding, I saw Scoop Sabrosky, the dare-all reporter, with his little black notebook. Walter Evers, the great evangelist, was languishing in the county jail, for having disturbed the peace. He had been lecturing from a soap box. Katherine Lawson, now the wife of an Indiana Congressman, was giving a magnifi- cent dinner for Ambassador Raymond Kraner. Among the most distinguished of the guests were Dorothy Richwine, famous prima donna, and Mr. Thomas Hugh Kizer, metropolitan basso prafundo. He caused many a raised eyebrow by escorting Miss Mary Lou Swartz, alias Flirtatious Fanny the Fantastic Fan Dancer. He is engaged to the coloratura and poetess, Ellen Vaughn. page lu My
