With an onslaught of basketball and name cards, Winter came to Ken Hi. College Club tests were taken. The Yuletide season was welcomed to Ken I-ii by the Christmas tree at the Trophy Case. The Christmas assembly was high lighted by the collapsing of the bleachers. After vacation, Wfinter winds chilled the glove- less hands of seniors as they sported their class rings. The Winter was brought to a climax by the Valentine Dance of the Tri-Hi-Y and the Shamrock Ball. Spring fever held the students with a magnetic force. This season brought baseball and track to Ken I-Ii. The Senior Class play, Stage Door, chalked up another dramatic success for the year. Spring is best known, however, as the season of social events. The Sophomore Hop began the whirl of dances. The whirl continued with the Senior Private and the National Honor Society Dance, both farewell parties to the seniors. Red ribbons and black ties signifiy Class Day when the seniors bade farewell and welcomed the seniors of next year with the presentation of the lantern. Taleoken Day was the last day for the seniors and, as always, the halls were full of seniors getting autographs and promising to write and keep in touch with one another. The Prom was, of course, the highlight of the entire year when the juniors and seniors blossomed forth in formals and danced gayly to the music of Nino Lent and I-lis Collegiate Orchestra in the decorated gym. With Baccalaureate and Commencement the year was ended. Summer would come soon, the one season Ken Hi would not re-echo the noise of students in the halls. With the return of Fall, however, another round of seasons will start, one more in the history of our school.

My AYIIY- ' III!- 'auii v av ins- Jai X7 5 QV in . dfff QWF' At the pealc of Indian Summer, 1946, the doors of Ken Hi swung open once again to the stream of students, reluctantly return- ing from the carefree Summer days. Con- fused and bewildered, the new students anxiously sought their classrooms. The long line outside Mr. Weaver's office revealed the annual mix-up in schedules. When order again reigned over disorder, and students were finally seated in classrooms, many new faces in teachers and students were discov- ered. Ken l-li's many organizations initiated their quota and settled down to the year's activities. Politically-minded students began campaigning for class offices. Picture time came and students stood in long lines wait- ing their turn before the camera. Not once, but twice, because of camera defects. Care- fully attired seniors' designated the week of senior pictures. Football season was ushered in with lusty cheer practices. Newly garbed in smart uniforms, our band and corps of majorettes made their debut. The season was climaxed by the winning of the WPIAL. The successful play, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthuris Courtf, and the Harvest Ball were this season,s outstanding social events. Um 5 7a june
