Some of these teachers stayed on when Kelly Iunior High became Kelly High, and others came to join the faculty of the new school. We Hope This Merry Enmpany Will Celebrate Again When the Cake Has EU Candles! ik Our school celebrates her tenth anniversary this year. Many things have occurred since she became a senior high.

It was on March 5, 1933 that Hitler overthrew the German Republic at the polls and in 1934 he became Chancellor of the Third Reich. A weary world must have its amusements. The movie is, of course, a popular diversion. 16
