Class History From the day we entered school as Freshmen until the night of graduation our class has tried to' make the most out of our four years. e September 6, 1937, our class entered Kewanee High School with an enrollment of 203. At our class meeting we elected Gene Ebel, president, Dean Peterson, vice-pres- ident, Katy Powers, secretary, and Virginia Green, treas- urer. Miss Miriam Fleming was elected class adviser. Our class colors of black and white were chosen at this meeting. The first social affair attended by our class was the recep- tion given us by the Seniors, it was a great success. The last social function of the year, the class party, was held on Friday night, April 29. We enjoyed entertainment, re- freshments, and dancing. In our Sophomore year we elected Richard Terry, president, James Fitzgerald, vice-president, Shirley Glea- son, treasurer, Dorothy Kirby, secretary, and Miss Flem- ing was again chosen class adviser. During this year our class established itself in the fields of music, football, basketb.a1l, and many other school activities. The greatest event .of the year was the class party held on December 21. The class officers for our Junior year were Dean Peterson, president, James Fitzgerald, vice-president, Katy Powers, secretary, and Leo Swett, treasurer. Miss Fleming for the third time became class adviser. This year we were to be the promoters of the Prom and We started at once to raise money for the great event. Our greatest project was the class play, Mad I-Iatters which played before a full house on February 8. The grand finale of the year, the J unior-Senior Prom, came on the night of May 17, 1940. We used Mexican settings and the music was furnished by Bob Barnes and his orchestra. In our Senior year we elected Robert Boley, president, Kent Sandberg, vice-president, Glen Russell, secretary, and Doris Frazer, treasurer. Miss Fleming for the fourth time was elected class adviser. As every Senior class has a yearbook, we devoted our attention to financing this project. The first event of the year was the Freshman- .senior reception. There was entertainment followed by re freshments and dancing to welcome the new class. This was followed by the Homecoming Dance sponsored by the Senior class. A short time later came the Senior Orpheum, Steamin' Down the Stream which entertained a full house. Later on in the year we presented the Senior class play which was a great success. During the past year We have all been working hard and we now give you our last and greatest accomplishment, the KEWANITE of 1941. GLEN RUSSELL, Secretary, Class of 1941 More Work!

In going out of school, We leave With our heads up and with a determination to get ahead through the difficult passes of life. Our teachers who have taught us to look ahead and have helped in building our character, should be highly commended for their guiding and inspirational friendship. Very seldom does it happen that one teacher is the class adviser for all four years, but we have been fortunate in having Miss Miriam Fleming in this capacity. She has been generous with her time and energy, and has been unfailing in her effort to guide the class. Especially to her do we express our appreciation. To Mr. Robinson Who has so willingly and ab.ly given of his time and efforts to make us better citizens, and who has led us in upholding the standards of character which good members of our democracy should live by, We express our gratitude and hope that he continues to influence youth for many, many years. In the class room, in social functions, and in athletics, We have tried to uphold the reputation and traditions of ,our old alma mater. May the future be bright for all under- classmen. We say goodbye, and hope We have left a torch Worthy of carrying throughout high school. BOB BOLEY, President, Class of 1941. 9 i ' af ir af ir ff ' g 20
