SENIOR EXECUTIVE COUNCIL The Senior Executive Council is com- posed, as the name implies, of seniors, who are elected to perform numerous important duties, such as selling tickets, advertising and putting over any senior activity. Under the supervision of Mr. Iveson, the Director of Activities, the various functions are carried out. Several additional methods for financing the annual graduation trip have been in- augurated. Among these was the play, Merchant of Venice, which was drama- tized by professional actors. In addition to our own student body, students from other schools were a part of the appreciative audience. For the first time, the sale of magazine subscriptions was adopted. To effect keen competition, prizes were awarded to the best salesmen and less expensive gifts were given as bonuses to stimulate an in- crease in sales. Because of the loyal support of the Senior Executive Council, both projects were suc- cessful. The outcome of the two money- raising campaigns may serve as a spur to the efforts of future seniors of Kingston High School. Marilyn Sponsor: Mr. William I..

On September 8, 1948, we began our fourth year under the Hag of ,K.H.S. What a year that was! We were very busy because we were active in so many activities. We were now calling Mr. Shakesphere by his first name and Math and Sciences had become less puzzling. Our Yearbook was edited by Ralph Schmoll and Ruth Schleicher and other members who contributed greatly to its success. We sponsored the Second Annual Masquerade Ball, the Stardust Revue, which was great and spectacular, the Band Concert, the Easter Prom, and the Senior Play, Ramshackle Inn , under the direction of Mrs. Thomas. Some of the leading actors were Dorothy Carlson, Lee Moran, Eileen Timmons, and Bob Pitel. We elected the following officers who handled the job very ably: Presi- dent, Paul McCool, Vice-President, Rosalie Jablonskig Sec- retary, Marilyn Kane, and Treasurer, Robert Beard. We not only thought of ourselves in this busy year, but also of those afflicted with infantile paralysis. The Senior girls canvassed all of Kingston distriuting and collecting folders for the March of Dimes. Through their efforts, 552013.24 was collected. Mitty Marcinko and Jim lirokenshire, co-captains of the 1948 Football Team, were chosen as All-Scholastics from Kingston High. We again had a wonderful wrestling team which lived up to the usual Kingston standards. June was now here and our four years in high school were swiftly coming to an end and our journey was Just about ended. We reached our journey's end on Thursday evening, June 9, 1949. After the exercises, we enjoyed ourselves at a Commencement Dance. School ended on June 10 and the finest four years of our lives were over. We thank God because he has made possible all these wonderful happenings and we surely won't forget Him or our parents, teachers, and friends. We shall make the most of our acquired knowledge and we shall go into the future with many delightful remem- brances of dear old K.H.S.

Rosalie Jablonski, a very competent vice-president, promoted class projects in such a capable manner that all seniors were more than satisfied with their selection. The sparkling personality of Secretary Marilyn Kane is reflected in her minutes of the class meetings. Robert Beard held the responsible post of treasurer. It was his solemn duty to see that debts did not exceed profits in class ventures. Mr. William Iveson, our Class Advisor, added a great deal in the fullfillment of class achievements. The Class of 1949 wishes to thank Mr. Iveson for his splendid guid- ance. We started on iur journey to lands unknown on Septem- ber 5, 1945 under the flag of K.H.S. We had many capable leaders to help us through four trying years. The journey ahead of us was to have some rough moments but it proved to have more happy ones. Loking pack we recall the first lap of our journey when we were inexperienced travelers. We can still rememper our first day when we were terrified of what lay ahead, but now, we Wish we could begin all over again. During our first year, we were introduced to many new things, among them Ivanhoe , Algebra, and Latin. At that time we thought them terrifying but we soon learned their true worth. We elected two representatives, Jean Henniges and Robert Castle, to the Teen-Age Center where most of us spent Tuesday and Saturday evenings dancing and playing ping-pong or shuffleboard. We established our importance as a class by having a Sport Dance which was a huge success. That year we had a new experience, semester examinations, from which most of us emerged victorious. Then, as quickly as it had begun a quarter of our journey was completed. We were anxious to resume our journey once again in the fall. We left on :September 5, 1946 and it was wonder- ful to see all the familiar faces and to welcome all the new ones. We were now eligible to join the activities that took place on the journey. Some of us went into the field of sports while others of us became active on the news- paper staff. Many of us joined clubs and in so doing had the opportunity to know better our fellow travelers and leaders. The Stardust Revue was an outstanding success because of the talent that we had to offer along with the other classes. This year we had a Championship football team and we all had a feeling of security by realizing we had helped make them victorious. Before we realized, summer was here and half of our journey was over. The third lap of our journey began on September 4, 1947. We had many new experiences-some of them being the introduction of Mr. Shakesphere to us, the many trying times in the Chemistry Laboratory and the use of com- passes and straight-edges. We participated in the Star- dust Revue and we presented Dear Ruth as the Junior Play. Among the leading actors were Dorothy Carlson, Paul McCool, Britton Kile, Eileen Timmins, and Robert Wrigley. We also elected officers to help lead us on through the journey. They were: President, Joseph Mar- cinkog Vice-Presiden, Rosalie Jablonskig Secretary, An- nette Devlin and Treasurer, Robert Beard. We also held' the successful Junior Prom with music furnished by Lee Vincent.
