BR.al'N'roN Nw-rrtury .'111l'i-YOI' Trcasu rrr cers of Senior Class Just as June is the beginning of summer and the end of spring, so graduation is the beginning of a new type of life for us and the end of a period which will always personify fond memories. For four years we have looked ahead with great anticipation to the time when we would have the distinction of graduating. Unfiinchingly, we have endeavored to meet the qualifica- tions of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. We have tried to fulfill these requirements to the best of our ability, and now we stand upon the threshold of a new life. However, as the time for our saying vale to our Alma Mater draws near, our views of four years ago take on an entirely different aspect. Now we realize what these four years have meant to us: the forming of friendships, pleasant associations with one another. jovial times together. life lessons learned, and tl1e development and molding of personal attributes. As we look back, many happy memories greet us. Even though we are looking ahead with great expectation to advancing our education in college or in the complex business world, the very heart of every Senior senses an acute pang when he realizes that his high school days have drawn to a close. How many would like to live these years over again! The Class of '31 has essayed to attain the highest of standards in every field of activity. Scholarship has been outstanding: the ability to be good followers as well as leaders has been evidenced: extra-curricular activities have engaged a large majority of usg we have endeav- ored to cooperate to the best of our ability with the faculty as well as with the other students. There is no more appropriate time than this to gratefully acknowledge our appreciation of the unceasing efforts of our class advisor, Nlr. VVilliam Braunton. May the years to come be as bright as the happy ones which have just become a treasury of memories. ROBERT L. MCEWEN President, Senior 1'la.s-s W. NIURRAY XYILKINSON

THE1931KENITORIAL 66Labores of the Senior Class Four years have passed since our triumphal entry into high school. They have been years of hard endeavor to overcome difficult phases of our work. I but throughout them all. we have enjoyed that golden bond of friendship which is of infinite value to everyone. Graduation means a great deal more ' to us than merely leaving school: it means the parting of loyal friends and 'R' the new experience of going out into the world to dig for ourselves. Some ! students will go east. others west, but memories of their Alma hlater will never desert them. To bring back thoughts of the good old days. let us enter the reminiscent mood and gently turn the pages of our diary. A-A-d The first chapter is devoted to our Freshman year. No o11e could possibly have been prouder than we as we strutted down the halls with our load of books. Parties. too. were not lacking. Who could forget that glorious time we had in the old gym? Games and eats enough to satisfy everyone! Neither were we lacking in originality. Setting the precedent which has ever since been followed. we presented the Junior High School. upon our graduation, with a beautiful picture which has done much to beautify the hallways of K. H. S. Time passed rapidly and it was not long before we were full-fledged members of Senior High School. We had passed our first. green year and could now consider ourselves a little bit above the new Freshmen following in our footsteps. We were certainly getting on in the world. Turning the pages of our book. we come to our eventful Junior year. l'nder the helpful guidance of Mr. llaisch, we embarked upon what was to prove a memorable period of our high school days. As we were occupied with the usual struggles with homework and regents. time seemed to pass quickly and we soon found ourselves anticipating the Junior picnic. W'hat a picnic that was and what a picture Keith ltlorgan made when he emerged non- chalantly from an overturned canoe! CDid we say nonchalantly?j Remember the bread line? YVorse than a bread line was the crowd that pushed, shoved. and knocked to gain a few hot dogs and a bottle of pop. It will be a long time before we forget that picnic. The annual Junior Prom was next on the list. That, too, was a big success. with gayly colored balloons suspended over the heads of the graceful couples and an orchestra to drive away our blues. It lasted but a few hours and at its close we found ourselves nearly at the end of X I our Junior year and on the threshold of attaining what we had many N 5-wb wi' times longed for-our Senior year. Q 3 Seniors at last! lVhat a thrill to be listed as among those who have 'iii' reached the climax of their high school career! VVe turn the pages slowly. for we are nearing the end and wish to prolong our story as long as pos- p sible. In a short time, Finis will be written after our names a11d way 1 made for others to follow. 'l hey may be able to take our places. but no one can rob us of memories.
