VIETUHIU 5 VISIU S lt's over! And what a year it was! From the queer questioning glances of baffled befuddled freshies, to the dismal downcast faces of loyal leaving seniors, it was a year crammed full of enlightening educational activities, war- winning patriotic drives, peppy Panther athletic events, clever comic produc- tions, and finally a successful gladdening graduation! lt welcomed naive new faces, genuine ingenious Old Faithfuls, familiar friendly off-to-war boys, and returning valiant veterans. Remember when . . . . . . we laboriously contemplated Cwell-we thoughtl, What is a Flying Ieep? -a jeep with wings: one that bounces higher than the rest, or an air- plane with four wheels? After thinking the matter over, Kelvyn intellects exclaimed, Quit your kidding-jeeps can't fly! 'Twas then We learned that a Flying Ieep is not a jeep at all-rather that it is a full-fledged airplane. Four such crafts, at the grand total of Sl2,000, were to be purchasedeone each by the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Clncidentally, as Christmas rolled around, We dood it! 7 . . .our ''over-seventeen-he-men put to test their brains and brawn as Uncle Sam examined them for his Vl2, V5, and A12 programs? Iumping at such an opportunity, our boys took the tests, and some came out favorably tfuture officers of our Armed Forcesl. . . . we were startled beyond expression at the thought of losing the Kelvyn- ian? Due to war shortages the year book might be sacrificed, we were told. Faithful seniors entrusted their greenbacks willingly, though they realized that at the snap of the fingers the contract could be broken. CAs you can see, the risk was well worth taking.D . . . we were relieved of that extra-hard assignment to see an assembly? Take, for instance, when x's and y's flew furiously about the auditorium as Mrs. Gailes presented an original skit which combined both comedy and com- mon sense, and yet was of mathematical origin .... Then too, there was the time at the Armistice Day assembly when we reverently bowed our heads in prayer in memory of our boys who had given their all. As strains of Valse Triste flowed from the orchestra pit, Kelvynites prayed that a new Armistice Day, which would really end all wars, would soon be on its way .... Ameri- can-laps are okay, said students after hearing Ben Yoshioca of the Relocation Board, who spoke on the problems of the American-born Iapanese, now that we are at war with their ancestors .... At the Art Assembly our talent was admirably displayed as parts of the jeep all came nimbly to life in the person- alities of Freddie the Freshman, Sylvester the Sophomore, the living Iuniors, and Susy and Sammy the Seniors .... With grinning pumpkins, tall corn shocks, and a magnificent horn of plenty as background, Mr. Atkins' class created the real spirit of the season at the Thanksgiving Assembly .... l'll never smoke, became the slogan of wise Kelvynites after hearing Mr. C. C. Denham, representative of the Inter-State Narcotic Association, speak on the harms of narcotics. His chalk talk proved to be inspirational to all .... Color and pageantry graced Kelvyn's stage when Mrs. King's Spanish classes and division presented The Light of the World for the Christmas program. . . . Victory Through Education was the theme of the Civic Forum Club's presentation of the reasons we should stay in school and prepare ourselves to 'X .T cuvzs:-vou 13 U3 JAEZ-TON .-'-gi' if 'ff gli lif t K4 V 6 x
