Preface The class of 1940, in publishing this first annual yearbook of Katonah High School, has chosen the name john jay in mem- ory of that illustrious citizen of the town of Bedford, West- chester County, New York State. John Jay's political work during the early years of the United States made George Wash- ington choose him the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. In preparing this book we have endeavored not only to have a book of class memories but to start a worthwhile tradition in Katonah High School. Another purpose of this annual is to show the friends of K. H. S. the social and scholastic activities of the school. We acknowledge our grateful appreciation to our patrons and patronesses whose financial assistance has made possible this annual. We extend our sincere thanks to our yearbook adviser, Mrs. Brandow. Through her diligent work we have been able to make this publication a success. Our thanks are extended to Mrs. Arthur Iselin, a descendant of John Jay, for her permission to use the name John Jay as the title of our book.

Class Poem Now that the day at last has come To leave old K. H. S. We're not so happyg not so gay As you, my friends, might guess. Now that we have reached the peak And start to reminisce, We think about our high school days And the school we're sure to miss. It really seems impossible For years to go so fast- Years we thought would never end And now--? They're gone--They've passed. However, why should we feel blue? Why should we feel so sad? The life that is before us Shouldn't prove to be so bad. Life is what you make it, For as ye sow ye reap , So if we work with all our hearts We'l1 have no cause to weep. But one thing more we must express Before this poem is done. We want to wish the best of luck To the class of '41! JACQUELINE HANLEY Alma Mater With voices strong, sing me a song, Dear Katonah High, With your colors, the purple and the white. May nothing mar the shining star And thy honor bright.
