Wllll? 'Considerate,' 'capable,' and 'competent' might have been added to the English vocabu- lary in honor of Dick Bates, for they fit his personality perfectly. And he's also one of the most likeable people anyone could wish to meet. At K.H.S. he made quite a name for himself on the football gridiron, the basketball court, and the baseball field. He was particularly good in baseball and became known for his home runs at the crucial moment. Dick was chosen a member of the Kledia, an honorary boys' club in the senior class, for his fine scholar- ship record. Also a member of the Latin and Bible Clubs, Dick has been partly re- sponsible for several unusual movies presented through the years on the subject of God and Mankind. Everyone will agree he's a terrific guy, never to be forgotten. ,g ' J ' X I .. i Known to almost everyone as Eggeth, this quick-quip guy is a welcome sight wherever he goes! With his famous smile always in evidence, Bill Eggert conducts a class meeting or a discussion in the Student Government Class equally well. Dance-happy, he can be seen at almost every social affair having a grand time. His popularity has been proved many times, as he has been chosen King, by popular vote, of several school dances. Then, too, he was elected president of both the junior and senior classes and was ninth grade treasurer. Other activities included the Hi-Y and Lynx. Bill is one reason why the senior class is so out- standing this year. As Prexy, his leadership has been terrific. Hats off to a super-fine guy! QM f ..f X' Z Quiet and reserved, but unusually talented, is Roy Howell, a man of distinction. He has distinguished himself in both Track and Cross Country, and is a four-year letterman. This enabled him to become a member of the Varsity Club. His scholarship states that he be- longed to Kledia and is a life member of the CSF. Not satisfied with just this, he showed an active interest in the Hi-Y and Latin Club. These activities should keep anyone busy, but his classmates elected him vice-president of the junior class, too. Roy was also Business Manager of the Komet. He may be quiet, but he is an all-American guy when it comes to dancing or other social activities. But the more serious side of his nature urges him to work hard toward his goal of being a doctor, knowing him, one feels sure he will reach it easily. Meet Don Lindahl, an outstanding personality at Kearny. Friendliness is second nature to him, and keeping busy is his favorite pastime . . . for Don is our very competent A.S. B. President. Acting as an ex-officio member of every school organization, he has helped to bring a feeling of unity among them. He has had ample training for his job as he was chair- man of the Jr. Coke Committee, Latin Club Secretary, our C.A.S.C. Representative, and a life member of the CSF. ls it any wonder that Don has been such a president? Good-looking and hard-working Jock Osborn has rapidly become one of San Diego's outstanding personalities in the City Prep League. This success results from his sensational baseball ability on the mound. Attracting the attention of every sportswriter, he has been almost a one-man threat against the Komet opponents. But baseball wasn't his only sport, Basketball found him in the limelight just as often. With this record, it is only natural that he was elected Commissioner of Boys' Athletics. Then, just to keep him further occupied, he was an active member of the Hi-Y and Kledia. He also gave much of his time to the A.S.B. Council, working for the betterment of sports in our school. An all-around guy, Ozzie is sure of friends wherever he goes! Who's Who was selected on the basis of good citizenship, scholarship and serivce to the school.

Take one tall, blue-eyed blonde girl, add vim and vitality, a touch of laughter, mix well with a sparkling personality . . . and you have Dolly Berglund. Outstanding in the senior class, she has belonged to almost every club in the book. Predominant among her activities are Editor-in-Chief of the l952 Komet, her life membership in the CSF and Hi-Debber Board of Directors. Ordinarily, this would keep any girl busy, but Dolly can also be seen at Football games as a vibrant songleader. Then, too, she has been in Drama Club plays and has acquired the reputation of being quite an actress. With this record, who but Dolly would be chosen for both Girls' State Representative and the D.A.R. Scholarship? Good things come in small packages! This could certainly be applied to Jackie Cathcart, one of the most active girls on our campus. Always bubbling over with energy and good will, she acted as CSF President, Editor-in-Chief of the Quill and Scroll, and Girls' League Secretary. Besides all this she held down a membership in the Dianas, a senior honorary service club, and worked enthusiastically on the A.S.B. Council. She's talented, too. Known for her excellent ability to play the violin, she has given recitals for many school activities. Considering her assets, it's not surprising to learn that small, blue-eyed Jackie has a knack for collecting honors and scholarships. Her smile proclaims to the world that she is everyone's friend. At Kearny, there is a girl everyone knows and loves. Noted for friendliness, she has that something about her that is immediately recognized as what is termed personality. The first thing one notices is her eyes. Brown, and full of laughter, they seem to say Hello! before her voice does. She's also known for being an outstanding student in the school. Among her numerous activities are included Girls' League President, Commis- sioner of Girls' Activities on the A.S.B. Council, Lieutenant of the Pompon Corps, and her membership in the Dianas. Have you guessed her name by now? Undoubtedly, because everyone knows Palma Cipriano, who has spark and spunk aplenty! Cute and peppy is Barbara Davis, one of the liveliest little girls in the senior class! And she has good reason to be, since she has been leading Komet yells at football and basketball games for the past two years as our energetic Head Cheerleader. Barbara is equally out- standing in her club activities .... Sphinx, Horizon Club, Ko-eds, and Kappa Deb Kouncil, to mention a few. After witnessing her bubbly personality, Walker's Department store chose her to represent Kearny on their Hi-Debber Council. Remember her in Meet Me in St. Louis ? This was just one of the many hit plays in which she starred. Then, too, she was Director of the Senior Class Play. This adds up to a very satisfactory record. But there is one more reason why Kearny students will remember Barbara. She had a special smile and a happy Hi-ya! for everyone she met. Pretty and popular is Jeanne Hamlin, our own version of what a singer should look and sound like! Her fabulous song interpretations have entertained Kearnyites for years at dances, assemblies, in operettas and talent shows. And she is known, too, for her performance in Drama Club plays. Now try this for size! Besides possessing such enviable gifts as these, she is active in a variety of Kearny organizations. Being Y-Teens President, a member of the Dianas, CSF, Latin Club, and Hi-Debber Board of Directors didn't phase her. Jeanne worked diligently on the A.S.B. Council, and everyone knows of her enthusiasm for the vir activities. If such an honor were presented, there is no doubt that Jeanne would win trophy inscribed . . . Has Personality-Plus!
