In the last year of high school such things as selecting rings and pins, measur- ing caps and gowns, and choosing a senior play are important factors. To do these tasks, competent leaders were appointed. The committee which selected samples of rings and pins for the class to vote on was composed of Chairman Dorothy Rex, john Nickols. Millicent Spence, James French, Janice Fortier, Donald Overton. and Henri- etta Evans. When it came time to record the seniors' poundage, head size, and height for caps and gowns, jean Wildman, Frances Bostick, Eugene Carraher, and Bill Cooper were there with their tape measures. In November, the seniors' held an all- school party. Several members of the class gave their time to see that the event was a success. The planning committee was com- posed of Bonnie Hendrix, Ronda Mann, Chester Koza, Eugene Carraher, Peggy Messier, and Frank Hill. Miss McGinnis, in charge of the food committee, was aided by Constance Curtis, Jean Wildman, Thomas Fister, jean Wright, Gerald Andrews, and Mary May. ln charge of the entertainment committee was Miss Freitag. She was helped by Betty Markert, Jerome Erzinger, Don Overton, Frances Bostick, Eleanor Nelson, Julia Ann Hughes, and Jack Carter. Betty Hendrix, Lucille Beauvais, Florence Volk- mann, Aaron LaReau, Herbert Kohler, Guy Downs, Jack Zopf, and Robert Gale aided Mr. Howard with the decoration. Not a little credit should be given to Sue Keith, chairman of the North study home- room programsg and to Aaron LaReau and Charlotte Stella, Hrst and second semester chairmen of South study. g In March the invitation committee, which selected six different styles for the seniors to choose from, was comprised of Chairman ,lean Wright, Donald Faford, Bill Rogers, Marion Ramien, and Jean Wildman.

Enferprising Juniors Sei' Pace Wifh Play and Prom lllarehing up the steps of K.ll.S last September for the beginning of their term were N98 eager, happy juniors with an eye for fun and a desire for knowledge. lixeite- ment was their motto and they planned to have plenty of it. Uesiring competent mem- bers to lead them over the bumps through- out the year, they chose Vivian Lock. presi- dent: lihner Anderson, to aid him as vice president: and john Burns, as secretary, to keep an accurate account of their interest- ing adventures. Members of the junior class sold candy at the tournament games and after school and did many things to raise money for a suc- cessful prom for their upperclassman friends. the seniors. .-Xll their money-raising schemes were not meager. however. as they presented on November l7 an outstanding comedy, which made a record in K.H.S. as having a larger attendance than any other junior l l Twenty j play previously presented. The plot of The Hoosier Schoolmasterf' an adaptation of Eggleston's novel, centered around back- woods characters of Indiana in the period of 1870 and was directed by Miss Pauline Tull. The prom, on which the class worked so hard, remained a mystery to the seniors for some time, but when finally presented, it won whole-hearted admiration. The King and Queen of the prom were elected by the guests and crowned by last year's royalty, Dorothy Rex and 'William Rogers. This, the biggest social event of the year, was pre- sented May lS. with a unique background for the dancers. The class sponsors, Miss 'Rosetta Gernon, lllr. Keith Smith, Miss Marie Beardslee, and Miss Sara Larson guided the class of '40 through the year with expert hands. Juniors, ROOM 113 Back Row: McHenry Brumitt.
