It is with a feeling of belong- ing that I salute the class of 1956 because we all started as members of K.H.S. together. I would like to take this op- portunity to wish you all God- speed and to thank you for your contributions toward making my teaching and guidance activities pleasant and fruitful experi- ences. Charles B. Thompson uidanw Pvwgnam Guidance in K.H.S. involves individual and group approach and is con- cerned with personal and vocational interests. The program involves the entire faculty, since each teacher has Cl group of counsellees who are his especial concern and interest. Tests such as aptitude, interest, and IQ are used to help the student arrive at a choice of occupation in which he will be both useful and happy. Both the Director of Guidance and the Dean of Girls are happy to be of service to students who seek guidance in personal problems. In addition, home room teachers also serve as personal counsellors. Group guidance is carried on in home room period and in class discussion, wherever the lesson content lends itself to profitable discussion of problems of interest and profit to ado- lescents. As we look back over the four years that you members of the Class of '56 have been a part of our school, we realize that it has been an interesting and in- spiring experience to watch you develop in self-reliance, leader- ship, effort and accomplishment. We sincerely wish for each of you the things that are really worthwhile, and we hope that in some small way we may have contributed to your desire to lead a useful, creative and happy life. We hope that you are taking knowledge and wisdom with you. We know that through your leadership and cooperation you are leaving your school a better place than when you entered. Anne Hall

Mercier Seuiofw When we are Seniors ...... - these words we often repeated as underclassmen. Then on September 7, we had reached the long-anticipated day. We began to make ourselves at home in rooms 'l5 and 17. Early in the year we accepted the challenge of leadership not only in extra-curricular activities but also in carrying out the policies and attitudes of the school. We are proud of our unseltish use of some of our Washington Fund, first to play host to the school, to parents and friends at the Freshman Reception and again at Christmas time to make a generous contribution to the Christmas dinner proiect, sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y. With the presentation of Stranger In the Night on December first and second, the class of 1956 was again triumphant. We were representedin the Homecoming Day Parade by an original float, and at the dance that evening the senior candidate was crowned Homecoming Queen. Being a senior has really been a much more challenging and a happier experience than we had ever imagined. Claw Oliliiww
