In the Coshen Belays, their ITV2 points were good for a seventh place in class B while 13 points earned them a fifth place at Kokomo. The name of the Comets went a long way, however, as Bill Leamon entered the State meet in the 220 yard dash hy virtue of his fine showing at hoth the Sectional and Be- gional meets, hut he did not qualify for the state finals.

Two volleyball playdays were held this year, one at Auburn, November 19, the other at Ken- dallville, December 17. On December 3 the District Basketball Clinic at New Haven was attended by many members. At the clinic the rules of basket- ball were explained by demon- stration. Later the girls were di- vided into teams and played basketball using the new rules. Each year many new members are added to C.A.A., making it one of the most popular organi- zations in Indiana. It has grown from eleven member schools in 1931 to a membership of ap- proximately one hundred sixty today. bringing the girls of In- 3 l V W, .

PEP CLUB The cheering block was organiz- ed in December through the rec- ommendation of the Student Forum and the approval of the Board of Control. The vice-presi- dent of the Forum, Ruth Ann Ihrie, served as president of the Pep Club, and the secretary of the Forum, Linda Bostwick, served as secretary-treasurer. The sponsor, Miss Barth, was appointed by Mr. Tritch. To be eligible to join the club, a student must be in grades nine through twelve: seniors have priority over juniors, juniors over sophomores, and sophomores over freshmen. Practice was held during the noon hours when the cheerlead- ers led and introduced new yells. At the ball games the members wore white shirts or blouses. We're the Fans from K.H.S.! Pep sessions, twenty to thirty minutes long, were generally held in the three o'cloek period with the cheerleaders in charge. The pep band assisted the cheer- leaders in leading rhythm yells. A pep session was held on NVed- nesdav, February 22, before the Sectional, at which time the cheerleaders introduced the boys on the team. Each boy was given a rabbits foot for good luck. Fol- lowing talks by Mr. Barr and Nlr. Cuynion, the session was closed by a victory yell. It's CITY DAIRY for Finest Dairy Products 102 PATRONS Acme Tool 8.

Craduationl Yes, we looked forward to it. but it has come more quickly than we really thought it would. XYith graduation we turn the final page of a chapter of our lives. It has been a chapter which we enjoyed as we lived it and which we will often relive in our memory. There were gaiety and laughter experienced with our classmates. understanding and friendship shared with mem- bers of the faculty. and our satisfaction and pride in work done to the best of our ability. Upon receiving our high school diploma, we are starting on an even more important chapter. Dick Grubb. Connie Rhodes XYe are excited, a little frightened, yet eager to face the future that is awaiting us. Thoreau once said: If you have built castles in the air, your work need not he lostg that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them .... During our high school days we have been dreaming about the high goals we hope to reach in some ethereal future. Now we are about to see if we can actually build firm foundations under our hopes and realize those goals. If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams. and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined. he will meet with a sue- cess unexpected iu common hours. -Thoreau. Nancy Probst.

Each student and his interests were shown through slides taken by XVilliam Atz, projected by Nlike Cunter. and narrated by various class members and Colette Chaudoin. An Indian dance by Shelby Ballard, a modern dance by Rosemary Steckley accompanied by the girls' chorus, a song from the boys' chorus, and a piano solo by Shelby Holler provided much enjoyment. Barbara Bailey, Linda Streb, and Lenore XVest- phal showed their talent with a twirling demon- stration. Trent Patterson, Kenneth Crowder, and John Parr pantomimed the recording of The Yellow Bose of Texas. Prayer Perfect, sung by Janice Friskney and Joyce Coney, closed the program. A social hour followed the program. Dependable Office Equipment They Start on Their High School Career.

AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Trains Our Musicians, Keeps School Spirit Up, and The Kendallville High School hand, under the direction of Clyde Pi. Copeland, has heen very active during the past school year. The hand was divided into three main groups: the marching hand, the pep hand, and the con- ce1't hand. The marching hand was active at the home foothall games, and the pep hand played at all home haskethall games. Between the halves of the varsity haskethall games the majorettes took turns giving twirling performances. Two formal concerts were given hy the concert hand, one in Fehruary and one in May. The Fehruary concert was also presented as a regular audi- torium program. Several students entered the solo and ensem- hle contest which was held in Fort XVayne and Ligonier. The percentage of first ratings was very high, and those receiving them were entitled to go on to the state contest. Receiving firsts at state were Philip Trowhridge, tromhoneg XYil- liam Atl, haritoneg Ann Foor, marimha, and 'lean Brown, Norma lluderman, Nancy Schlich- tenmyer, and Mary Alice Feller, clarinet quartet. The hand also played at the Indoor Fair, en- tered the contest for concert hands, and ended the years activities hy playing at Commence- ment.

Knowledge does not come from hooks alone. One of these sources is the informing and enter- taining, auditorium programs under the superyi- sion of Nliss Eva L. Hohertson. These presentations give all the high school students a chance to perform their various tal- ents. They offer a wonderful opportunity for the speech and literature students to gain experience displaying their class projects. such as dramatic readings. pantomimes. and informative demon- strations. The musician and dancer can always rely on finding an audience: the audience. in turn. gains a hetter understanding and apprecia- tion in these fields, Traditional performances are given each year hy the dramatics cluhs. which entertain the students with one-act and three-act plays. and hy the vocal and hand departments. which present numerous concerts. ln addition to these, the school is yery for- tunate to have. in its program series. various professional personalities. Among the distin- guished guests this year were Charles King. haritoneg Stephen A. Hahoush. shepherd from the Holy Land.
