Our Sophomore year saw five truly 'important new arrivals. Fun-loving Dot Anderson and pretty Patty Braden arrived first. Paul Brouard, Louise Morehouse and Dick Sears came soon after. Pat Braden became our class president during our Sophomore year. In September, 1946, we at last became Juniors, and only one step away from our last year. We elected Paul Brouard president of the class. He left us in April and Bud Adams took over. Both fellows did a grand iob. We outdid ourselves on our Junior Prom. We had a magic wishing well, a bower of fragrant flowers and a theme in general that made you sit up and take notice. Mary Lowney was our Prom Queen. We had two quiz contests with the Seniors and we invariably came out the winner! Sam Hilbert decided to return to K.H.S. and Alice Southworth ioined us again too. Two handsome men, namely Dick Herz and Dick Eddy, ioined us along with blonde Barbara Shear. 'I3

Seventh grade saw us upstairs at last! Mrs. Woodcock was our homeroom teacher and it took us no time at all to make ourselves right at home. Little Marie Zottola came to us from Bedford Hills and soon after came Bob Loveling, also from Bedford. Bernice Jones ioined our ranks that year too. Eighth grade brought us to the last step before high school. Mr. Myers was our homeroom teacher. Our only new member was Pat Hall, but she made up for quite a few! We inaugurated our School Court system whereby we had monitors on duty and an active iudge and council to decide the fates of offenders. Pat Hall was our first iudge and we found our Student Council program very effective. Freshmen! We found our class overflowing into the halls as there were so many of us. From Pound Ridge came brilliant Jewel Bode, demure Audrey Bouton, sports-loving Pat Marshall, shy Bob Scofield, giggly Audrey Scofield, and Anita Smith. From South Salem, our debater Howland Adams arrived. With him came Dot Bautz, Tony Fasolino, Mary Lowney, Barb Madsen, Alton Moore, and Don Taylor. Quiet Victor Gnos from Long Island joined us this year too. Miss Callenius and Miss Stroppel were assigned to our homerooms. We still wonder about who was the luckiest. We elected Bob Gilbert our Freshman class president. Q lr ,QM 12

Our Senior Year proved to be the greatest year of all. Paul Brouard returned to K.H.S. to again be elected class president. We gave the first dance of the year and then threw ourselves into our Senior Play, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine. We had a wonderful time doing it and we'll never forget lrl's I ain't never missed yet! or Pat's Kin if I wanna. It proved to be one of the memorable dates of the year. Another memorable date was the day Katonah defeated Chappaqua in football and won the annual battle for the plaque. Nine of our boys were members of this football team. Our Senior Ball was something out of this world. Snowmen and icicles dotted the auditorium and couples danced beneath soft clouds of snow. Our last arrival was George Morgan from Saint Peter's School, Peekskill, New York. Though, as we write, the year is not yet over and we are looking forward to commencement, already we have the feeling that the time is short. The few weeks that are left will soon join the busy years already recorded. For some of us high school is the end of formal education, others of us will go on to college. For all of us, however, this part of our life will provide happy memories through years to come. 14
