In and Around Kane High Nature smiled benignly on winter weary students by bringing the joys of spring with her gentle breezes, tender buds, and spontaneous songs of hap- piness from her tiny, feath- ered messengers. K. H. S. took on a new look; winter woes were soon forgotten. National Honor bestowed upon a chosen few the privilege of becoming a part of their select group. In March the junior class netted a handsome profit from Life of the Party, which received very high acclaim. Also around this time white clad figures were seen running around the park, getting them- selves in top condition for the tough track season they faced. Now events happened quickly, the juniors decked themselves as well as the gym in gala costumes and danced to the music of the Blue Knights. Hurri-Kanes made their appearance, and then came the dread- ed day of final exams! These were not so terrible as had been anticipated for most of us were pre- pared. Graduation closed the door on school-day memories but opened the door to the future and whatever it had in store. And finally, that never to be forgotten time that meant the last day of school. (1) Bill Miller helps himself to a lump ol sugar at the NHS tea. (2) Mr. Dill shoots an apple off Dick Johnson ' s head, William Tell style. (3) I don ' t want any more trouble from any of you. (4) Mildred, alias Harriet Wilson, talks with Charles Collier. (5) Max clears the bar at five feet. (6) Van checks off the unknowns. (7) Char, Phil, Bev, and Jo pack shoe-box lunches. (8) Hurri-Kanes again!

Of the Days Spent Winter suddenly engulfed Kane High in a swirl of snowflakes and dropping temper- ature. Coats and boots were donned along with buoyant spirits. The members of the senior play cast diligently rehearsed their lines and gestures for Best Foot Forward, which was a big success and brought Wash- ington into sight. The Snowball became a reality as Ed Rudler and Harriet Wilson reigned over the festivities in a snow-cov- ered gym. As we saw winter reluctantly yielding to the signs of approaching spring, the basketball team emerged triumphant in the mountain league, placing the eighth olive wreath upon the brows of K.H.S. The J.V ' s closed their season with the unprece- dented record of all wins. (1) Smitty applies the finishing touch to Jim for Best Foot Forward. (2) Don presents white Christmas baskets to Salvation Army. (3) Max, Cleon, and Dave become Santa ' s little helpers for N.H.S. (4) Brass Choir braves snowstorm to play Christmas carols at Ludlow, Kane, and Mt. Jewett. (5) Rudler tries for a bucket, down under.

No doubt you just took it for granted, but actually this was part of the work of the Board of Education. The Board also gives the O.K. signal for trips such as the seniors make to Washington or band and orchestra members to district festivals. Improving the facilities of the school by working with the administration, teachers, custodians, and students so that all can live and learn under the best possible conditions comprise their main duties. Always keeping in mind the betterment of the schools, the Board spent considerable time studying plans for merger with the neighboring schools but so far have taken no action. The seven member board represents many different vocations. Clarence Comes is manager of the local A and P Supermar- ket; Joseph Harre, editor of the Kane Repub- lican; the Rev. Clarence Leslie, pastor of the Lutheran Church; Dr. Charles Cleland, local physician; and Robert Fees, druggist. Tavy Summersgill ' 27, insurance agent, and Harold Johnson ' 38, associated with Olympic Luggage, joined the group this year.
