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

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

Class Poem As we leave behind Our high school years, Let us look back O'er the tide of events Both happy and sad That have marked our time At Katonah High. Let us remember the studies, Recall the emotions, The feeling of knowledge, The gladness of a test well done. Then think of the games, The tense thread of competition When the score was close. Look back on the parties, The music and dancing. Feel again the happiness Of working together For this school that we love. Now let us look forward To our future. lt's in our hands To do with as we will. Whether it be dark or bright Is up to us. May we be prepared to face it Come what may. - Louise Morehouse 15
