Dedication It is truly an honor to dedicate the 1 80 K.C.S. Year- book to a most dedicated em- ployee, Mr. Richard Hartson. Mr. Hartson became an em- ployee of our school district 32 years ago and was a member of the Class of 36, the first graduating class from our pre- sent school building. Mr. Hartson is presently our Head Custodian, a bus dri- ver, a certified examiner of school bus drivers, and is in charge of maintaining personnel files of all drivers for D.O.T. review. Several times each year he becomes an instructor and teaches the three hour bus driving refresher course to our bus drivers and substitutes. Mr. Hartson's four children all attended K.C.S., graduated from our school, and have gone to pursue post-secondary education. Our school and community have seen some outstanding charac- teristics and qualities in this fine citizen, for he is an ex- cellent worker, energetic, cheerful, personable, -and methodized in performing his duties. He is a man who takes a great deal of pride in everything that he does. We take a similar pride in Mr. Hartson and the exceptionally fine condition that our 45 year old school building is in. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Hartson as an employee of our school and sincerely hope that he will consider serving us for several more years. 1
