LASSHI RY Four years ago our teachers brought forth into this High School a new student body, conceived and dedicated to the proposition that all teachers are created to be tormented. ln the customary manner we, as Freshmen, were put to the task of surmounting the disillusionment in- flicted upon us by the upperclassmen. Such things as the celebrated freight elevator, the phantom room above the library, and purchasing tickets for chapel were among the fiendish designs originating in the minds of the upperclassmen. Lost in a maze of halls, windows, and doors, you could identify any of the Green Species by merely observing them as they peered intently behind doors for room numbers. Frequently we could be seen stealthily creeping across the forbidden front hall in mortal fear of our would-be superiors. We gaped with awe when our football team returned from Shenandoah hilariously proclaiming the title of Eastern Champs . Then came a lull in the gaity of our first year of high school-MID fYEAR.S!!l Safely but not too sanely through these tribulations, we started on the last lap of our freshman year. No truer words were ever spoken than when Sher- man gave his definition of war, but to us it was heav- enly, with unexpected days of vacation when rationing first appeared. Reentering the portals of Kingston High School as high and mighty sophomores we took it upon ourselves to impart to the green freshmen some of the devilish- ness which the upperclassmen had so graciously be- stowed upon us. We soon tired of this form of enter- tainment and settled down to a routine of football games, dances, basketball games, wrestling meets and occasionally we studied. Soon that dreaded time for exams arrived. After worrying about them for weeks, we were greatly sur- prised to discover that due to the paper shortage , we would be spared the gruesome task of wading through mid-years and finals. Since we had ascended a rung or two on the ladder of learning we were now permitted to take membership in a few of the school clubs. Some of the clubs for which we qualified were: the Library Club, the Lan- guage Clubs, and the Glee Club. Toward spring, our classes were frequently and rudely interrupted by air raid drills. Shrill sirens awakened us from the study of the great classic Tale of Two Cities . June soon rolled around and the teachers eagerly looked forward to a much needed vacation, Our junior year started OH with a bang! We were banged by the thoughts of chemistry, shorthand, and Julius Caesar! To the disappointment of all we did not elect class officers, nor did we have a Junior Execu- tive Council. However, our junior year was not an entire failure. In February try-outs were held for our Junior Play. The play selected being Junior Miss , and the leading players were Rita Kresge, Reese Finn, Ruth Sandler, Lois Schmoll, Charles Nesbitt, and Marvin Weisberger. Success of the play merited a repeat performance, with contribution of the proceeds to the National Red Cross. Conclusion of our junior year, brought to us the realization that our fourth and final year of high school had come upon us. On September 6, 1945, a tired and study-worn group of seniors entered Kingston High School for their final year of slumber. This Senior Class, starting out on the right foot, sponsored a Pigskin Prom to commemor- ate the close of a successful football season. Then came the Senior Play, which event was sched- uled for December, but due to circumstances beyond our control, it was postponed until January twenty-sixth. The play, entitled And Came The Spring , had a large cast including: Rita Kresge, Lee Carter, Jeanne Lou Connors, Reese Finn, Marie Berry, Dorothy Gavanus, Jane Ann Bush, and Michael Barna. Again the basketball team and the wrestling squad came to the fore. The basketball team almost reached the top except for the loss of a few games. Neverthe- less the wrestling team went over the top by attaining the Wyoming Valley Championship Award. In the early part of February, the Senior Class be- gan to sponsor a series of Friday night sport dances. On March third the Lions Club provided additional social activities for Kingston youngsters by -sponsoring a Youth Center , open Tuesday and Saturday evenings. The boys gym was opened for games such as. ping- pong and shuifleboard, while the girls gym was used for dancing. The juke box was very much appreciated by the student body. The Senior Class then launched the wild turmoil known as preparing for graduation. Orders were taken for name cards and announcements as well as individ- ual pictures. This preparation was rudely interrupted by the Star Dust Revue, but we were soon into the swing of things again when we were measured for our caps and gowns. However, graduation was not complete due to the absence of several members of our Senior Slass. To these boys, Patrick Pat Gaughan, David Dave Hoeschle, Ralph Katrosh, Leonard Lenny Bellas, Ed- ward Spook Connor, Francis Frank Czarniak, Don- old Don Ankudovich, John Poznak, Milan Shep Shepherd, David Bubbles Powell, Joseph Joe Shut- lock, James Nimmer Evans, John Gresh, William Scove Connors, Anthony 'iTony Groblewski, Francis Wizard Gildea, William Bill Goodwin, we send sin- cere and hearty thanks for their unselfish service to their country and class. Good luck, best wishes, and a fervent. prayer from classmates that God may speed their safe return.
