Yes, sir, it's the class of '44, and all of us proud of it. For, with the exception of a very few of us who probably would look more natural with numbers under our pictures, we are one of those exceptionally brilliant classes that only comes to K. H. S. once a year. It all started back in 1931 when, as if the depression weren't enough, a little band of us approached Miss Zimmerman, the kindergarten teacher, and asked admission at the portals of lower education. Since then there have been many additions and corrections to the group. Riley School, the Lutheran School, Wayne Center, and many others have all left their marks in our number. XVC invaded the eighth grade in 1939, and having been dazed and hazed in the usual manner for a short time, elected class officers. Sally Teders was president, Phil Appleman, vice president, and Bob Hile, secretary-treasurer. The next year we were full-fledged freshmen, ready for four years of everything high school could give. We held a class meeting and elected Phil Appleman president, Alice Berry, vice president, and Howard Treesh, secretary-treasurer. At that time we also chose the sweet pea as class flower, old rose and gray as class colors, and Speech is silver, silence is golden for our motto. Our first party was a hayride, followed by a barn dance, and in the spring We held a skating party at Hamilton Lake. Pugi' Iiigbleen

As sophomores we were headed by Bob Hile, president, along with Gordon Sauer, vice-president, and Dick Mason, secretary-treasurer. On our first party we gathered at the little gym, divided into groups, and started a scavenger hunt for some of the most elusive articles ever contrived by the human mind. Our spring party was the ever- popular skating party, held at the Silver Moon. This year we have elected as president, Clyde W'hitson, vice president, Hugh Mullen, and secretary-treasurer, Phil Appleman. At a class meeting we decided to change our class colors to blue and white, and our motto to Onus vincit Omniaf' Our fall party was a dance in the little gym after a ball game, and we had .1 Valentine dance at the same place in February. W'e have chosen what we are convinced is one of the most beau- tiful sets of class rings that has been seen in K. H, S. for some time, and though we have had no junior play as yet, we have shown that we have much dramatic ability in our class. Plans are now being laid for a junior-senior banquet that will be beautiful and successful, as well as consistent with the war effort. Wfe have worked under difliculties in the past three years, and we hope that after our next, and last, year, we may consider ourselves to have been an asset to our school. -Phil Appleman Pagi' Nimtrrfr
