Life Begins Al' High School Class History Tells AI'I- i 1 3 '54 The Seniors of 1939 Having a somewhat anxious look on their .bewildered faces, 366 shy freshmen entered the great realms of K. H. S. on September 3, 1935. Chosen to lead the class through the green', year were Charlotte Stella, Wayne Wellman, and jack Carter. The Misses Elsie Frietag, Dorothy McGinnis, Jennie Webb, Gwendolen Ingli, and Mr. Carl Althoff began their duties as the guiding sponsors. The following February, 78 more eager individuals were ushered in as mem- bers of this already promising class. At the first of the new year, a Leap Year party prevailed as the outstanding freshman activity. With Lyman Trescott, Walter Kell, and Ronda Mann as able leaders, this enthusias- tic group took on a more grown-up air as sophomores. During this year, as is cus- tomary, a Thanksgiving Day pantomime was presented before the assembly. VVhen 1937 rolled around, these ambitious boys and girls became upperclassmen and decided upon Dorothy Rex, jack Carter, and VVilliam Rogers as their junior class officers. During this year, a new sponsor, Mr. C. W. Howard, joined the ranks, filling the vacancy left by Mr. Althoff. The year's events began when a weird Halloween masquerade party was sponsored for the Whole school. Following this, most of K. H. S. witnessed a traditional perfor- mance, the junior class play, Come Out of the Kitchen. directed by Miss Pauline Tull and starring Mary May and Donald Over- ton. At the Regional tournament held in the Armory, the class, anxious to earn money for their prom, displayed their sales- manship by selling candy and soft drinks. The final social event for the year of 1938, TCD. honoring the seniors, was the junior-Senior Prom held on May 25 in the gymnasium. The atmosphere was one of delightful splen- dor, displaying a modernistic garden set- ting, presented in delicate shades of pastels. Reigning over this gala evening were Dor- othy Rex, queen, and VVilliam Rogers, king. In the final pages of the class history, we find Frank Hill, Guy Downs, and Dorothy Rex presiding over one hundred and seven- ty-nine distinguished seniors. Early fall of this year brought to the school a successful masquerade party un- der the direction of this class. Then when the first warm spring days came around, the up-and-coming dramatic members at- tended try-outs for their play f'Heart Trou- blef, Ten seniors were chosen for the cast. The production was staged on the evening of May 3 and was directed by Mr. Frank VVeller. Un May l8 of this last exciting year, the seniors were the guests at a lovely prom held for them in the gym by the junior class. This, the last social event of the year, will be long remembered by all who attended. Finally, there came the last few days when a note of sorrow wasiheard in the whispers of graduation. On the evening of May 28, these future citizens, arrayed in their caps and gowns, attended a Baccalaureate service sponsored by the Ministerial Association of this city. A few evenings later, on june 2, their achievements were acknowledged, and they were presented with their diplomas. Professor Mildred Freburg Berry, Ph. D., of Rockford College was the guest speaker of the evening. VVith this crowning event, the classof 1939, Kankakee High School, completed its career. T '
