SENIOR EXECUTIVE COLNCIL The Senior Executive Council consists of the class officers plus two representatives from each senior homeroom. This council is the guiding body of the Senior Class. Upon this group was placed the responsibility of making our class of 1947 the best Senior Class ever. Mr, Clyde Boyer, our Class Advisor, did much to add to the complete success of our final year in K. H. S. Theodore Charney, President, presided at the meetings while Jane Rossman, the Vice-President, was always capable of lending any needed help. The Secretary, Patricia Davis, took notes at all the meetings. Hillard Kemp, Treasurer, had the difficult task of keeping the accounts straight. The Class of 1947 entered the portals of' Kingston High School on the exciting morning of September 5, 1943, hop- ing that someday we would be fully trained and launched on the sea of life to serve God and our country to the best of our ability. My, but we felt important that first day-peeping be- hind doors, searching for the already famous elevator, and admiring the calm upperclassmen. We were soon settled and started as typical Freshmen, attending all the athletic events with enthusiasm and, win or lose, our loyalty remaining undaunted. We exhibited our interests in school activities by being the first Fresh- man class to sponsor a Sadie Hawkins Dance, in the spring of that memorable Freshman year, a talented group of our class participated in the annual Stardust Revue . As Sophomores, having spent a year in K.H.S., we looked forward to bigger and better things, and since we had ascended the ladder of learning, we were now per- mitted to take membership in a few of the school clubs. Some of these for which we were qualified were: the Library Club, Language Clubs, Biology Club, Glee Club, and the Newspaper Staffs, To help brighten our school life, a Youth Center was organized on March 3, under the auspices of the Kingston Lions Club. On Wednesday and Saturday evenings, students of our town could gather for a few hours of fun and fellowship. The boys gym was open for games such as ping pong and shuffleboard, while the girls' gym was used for dancing. The highlight of' the year came when our wrestling team brought to our Alma Mater the State Championship. Once again several members of our class took part in the Stardust Revue to climax an eventful and unforgettable school year. Our Junior year started off with a bang. Without warning, we were confronted by the thoughts, of chem- istry, shorthand, and Julius Caesar. For the first time in our high school career we realized our responsibilities as we chose our class officers. Those who were to lead us through that year were: David Phillips, president, Jane Rossman, vice-president, Irene Fortuck, secretary, and Hillard Kemp, treasurer. More and more of our time was taken up by school activities. We eagerly followed the records of our foot- ball, basketball, and wrestling squads, especially since many of the varsity members of these teams weer our own classmates. Our football and basketball teams com- pleted successful years only to be topped by the wrestling squad winning the Wyoming Valley Championship.
