Despite our ignorance on many of these points, we knew a few things at sight; that Robert Thornton io the tallest boy, and that Rena Gillian is the shortest girl; that Ratha Coles hair is not naturally curly, hut has to be put up every night; that Marguerite Vi Ison can’t coax Cecil Gillian to laugh; that Floyd Jones hair is curly and that he parts it in the niddle because it won’t part anywhere else. There is Orbon, the honeliost boy in tho class, his favorite study is the basketball re- port. The wonder of tho class was that a girl so devotod to her books as Kathyrn Geer could ever bccono so proficient in chewing gun. The ever recurring question is, How did she find the energy?11 We were prepared to find Jewel Richards carrying off all the honors in literature, her renarkable profieieney in pronunciation was at onc6 a wonder to «very freshnan.

Finally we have the honor of presenting under our sponsorship the first yearbook in the history of Kennedy High School. And now the hour of our departure is at hand”. We have been wisely guided through four years of sunshine and shadows and feel that we can without self-conciet, boast of our re- cord as a class. We leave with the memory of many happy hours spent within the walls of Kennedy High School, and with the feeling of Life long friendships formed. Above all we take with us the determination to do nothing that will bring reproach upon our school. By--Thrath Cobb
