Senior Class History In the fall of 1915. twenty-one verdant Freshmen entered the mathematics room. During the year two class members. Florence Smitley and Howard Gilliom left us. In the beginning of the year the Seniors deemed it advisable to initiate us into.the mysteries of school life, and by doing so. established us as an essential addition to the Kerne high. Early in the year we elected Frank Kuntz. president; Lester Schug. vice-president; and Frank Miller, treasurer of our class. These three leaders pulled us through the entire year with very little difficulty. We left the school after nine months' of hard work with a fair addition to our knowledge. The next fall we entered as Sophomores. We considered ourselves a very important part of the school since we were no longer Freshmen, and we were allowed to meet the rest of the school in the assembly room. During the year. Lester Schug and Palmer Wittwer left, and Howard Liechtv entered in the beginning of the year. The class purchased its purpie and gold pennants during the Sophomore year. After our second vacation, we entered the school t» get the third volume of our collection o! knowledge. Two new members joined us, Edna Kraun. who stayed out of school a year because of sickness, and Helen Nickel, who had spent a year at her home in Canada, after the death of her father. Near the end of the term John Schindler left the class and a little later, Frank Miller enlisted in the army. We entered our Senior year with a final determination to uphold our record. Raleigh Sipe did not return to school, but we again received two new members. Keulah Kuyer and Florence Rohrer. The fourth vear was a year of hard work, since we had to make up several weeks lost, because of the “flu. In the early part of the year we bought our class rings and pins. ()n Triday evening. May 9. we delivered our class play. “The Spell of the Image. It was a definite success, as our four years' of high school have been. 11
