G lenn Timmins , Pk N W J The past four years at Ken Hi will never be forgotten by the class of 1950. It seems like yesterday when a few of us arrived at Ken Hi in our freshman year. In 1948 we had new-comers from Parnassus and we found ourselves enthusiastically preparing for the Sophomore Hop. The following year students arrived from Stewart and we worked together selling candy and magazines in order to finance the Prom, an all year task. At last our senior year came. We, the class of 1950, were honored being the fiftieth grad- uating class. Many things were in store for us. Anniversary committees were chosen, including some seniors, for such events as Alumni Night, the Alumni Dance, and the pageant in the spring. But reminiscing about our senior year, we can remember that the first week of school we received our first order of senior rings. Next, we had class elections. After the campaign speeches were over and the votes counted, the finals brought in Joseph Giordano, president, Richard Wolfe, vice president, John Kraft, secretary, and Glenn Timmins, treasurer. Our sponsors, Miss Patterson, Miss Taylor, and Mrs. Klinke, guided us skillfully through a maze of senior pictures, com- mencement announcements, name cards and Taleokens. The special senior assemblies and exams gave many of us relief from classes. Plans were being made for Class Day and the Senior Private. During the months of February and March practices were held every night in room 105 for the senior class play. This year the senior class presented Ladies of the Jury under the direction of Mrs. Klinke. The last day for seniors had arrived and Taleoken Day, the long-awaited day. The memories of four years at Ken Hi will never be forgotten as we leave our best years behind us. ZZ
