1945-1946 Only seventeen of us returned for our ,lunior year and to all of us the diploma seemed much closer now. We gave a successful senii-formal junior Prom this fall and also spon- sored the annual Freshman Reception. ln the spring we presented a play called Tourist Troublesf' Again we had Stinson, Dunton, Schmidt and Pierce on the boys' basket- ball squad With Clough as manager. Higgins and Maling made the girls' squad. This spring we had Stinson, Schmidt and Pierce playing baseball for K. P. H. S. And with graduation this year our thoughts turned toward this approaching fall when we shall be the ruling class. i946-1947 At last we are Seniors! The group has now diminished to fifteen mem- bers as we lost Betsy Dunton, Ruth Foxx and Richard Challis, while we gained Ernie Lush, a newcomer to town. This has proven to be an eventful year because of the necessity of earning money for our VVashington Trip li und. Wie have held card parties, food sales, sold chances, had a dance, and sponsored numerous other activities to swell our class treasury. This year we have been represented on the girls' basketball squad by Mary Higgins and Van Ness llrlaling, while Stinson, Lush, Schmidt and Dunton were boys' squad members. We presented the annual Senior Class Play, choosing HLucky, a drama pertaining to college life. The undertaking proved to be successful and lots of fun. We are now approaching the end of our high school education and. although We all feel a bit relieved at having inet the demands which are re- quired in order to acquire a diploma, we also sense a feeling of loss as we pass from the portals of K. P. ll. S. forever. I3
