Page 4 Vivian Lane and Bill Jack, school host and hostess, tell Ray- mond Fields, fresh- man, a few things about K. H. S. i ,W , i I like school. I really do. I feel that school has everything to offer me. There are so many things I don't know-don't even have the slightest idea about-and the easiest place I can learn is at school. Here I can meet people mentally, as well as socially. Friends to be gained are in every classroom. I know and call many of these my friends-yet there are so many more that I want to include-so many more I want to know. Now that I am about to leave, I can understand why the class days have been more fun than Saturdays and Sundays. l'm positive I didn't mind study. Every minute spent at work, al- though at times exasperating, has given me pleasure. Pm only human and would like to have been popular: still I havent lost much. The activities I took part in appealed to me immensely, and even if I wasn't outstanding, sports and parties were always fun. I like school.
