V Senior class officers: L. Lowe, D. Rader, J. Philblad. Senior Class of 1957 A-s we rub Aladdin's lamp, we can reminisce and recall when we first entered the halls of K.H.S. Through the smoke and mist of bygone days we can see ourselves enter as green, inexperienced, and excited freshies. Give the lamp a gentle rub and you'll see John Bowman leading the frerlafzzfzn class in a rousing, money-making class meeting. Other old favorites of Aladdin are George Clark, vice-presidentg Marcia Randall, secretary-treasurer, and Pam Beecher and Jim Philblad, Student Council representatives. When we light the wick of the lamp again we can dimly make out our .roplaomore year. Oh-yes, it is coming clearer now. Remember? George Clark was presidentg joe Markley, vice-presidentg and Ar- dathe Stone, secretary-treasurer. On Student Council were Carol Peterson and jim Marks. Our junior year . . . how exciting! Now we could pick our class rings and look forward -to the unfor- gettable Junior-Senior Prom. Quick, rub the lamp again before it runs out of oil, so we can see another class meeting, this one led by a girl president, Shar- ron Washabaugh. Rollie Roselle was vice-president. Pam Beecher watched 'all of that money,' which was well over a thousand dollars-until after the prom. Serving on the Student Council were Carol, again, and George Clark. The prom, which had a Parisian theme and was held in the music room of the school for the first time in several years, was one of the most successful proms ever held by a junior class. We started the evening with a wonderful steak dinner and ended it with a dance in a room decorated to give a Parisian atmosphere. But wait l4 . . . this is fading out . . . rub the lamp one more time and see if we can look at our last year. Hurry, rub it before it fades away .hardly any time remains. There is jim Philblad trying to quiet the class to decide where to go on our Jenior trip. Even though there was much disagreement, we still spent three wonderful days at the Lake of the Ozarks. We'll never forget 'Litchfield's last stand' and Duane johnson's letter writing. Of course we can still re- member the help of Mrs. Leasure and Mr. Gerding.. Dean Rader served as vice-president and Larry Lowe kept track of our money. Ray Godsil, who was the president of Student Council, had for company, repre- sentatives joe Markley and, of course, Carol. Now we hear the strains of Pomp and Circumstance and see Miss Pam Beecher escorted by joe Markley at Homecoming as queen and king. And look! There is Sharron Wfashabaugh escorted by Ray Godsil . . . Mary Delost escorted by George Clark, attendants and escorts in the Coronation. What is the theme of Homecoming? Time is getting short, so rub that old lamp . . . quickly! Ah, yes, I see . . . don't you? Heavenly Daze was the theme and a most un- forgettable memory. And while we're rubbing the lamp, perhaps Aladdin will permit us to recall for a moment our junior high days in which our basketball team began to shape up to become one of the most outstanding teams in the history of K.H.S. Time is fading . . . the lamp has run out and we will never see our high school days again-but we can remember, can't we?
