STUDENT LIFE Student life was centered around school activities and friends. Most evident were reactions ... reactions to gossip, to games, and to lyccums. They were seen everywhere at KHS—in hallways, dub meetings and in classrooms. For the second straight year. Twister was a popular game at home parties. Fad reactions to life consisted of short skirts balanced by long hair. Song titles ranged from Love is Blue to Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club . Sidney Poiticr seemed to be the star of the year in To Sir With Love” and In the Heat of the Night .

STARVATION DAY 1967 MASC president Bob Benedict presented the eagle to the student body. 2,000 Sacrificed Food For Eagle It can't be done but go ahead and try! was the response to the idea of Starvation. Day when it was presented to the administration. The idea was to give students a chance to contribute their lunch money to the purchase of a golden eagle mascot. The event was sponsored by MASC and they set out to prove the administration wrong. An estimated participation of 1,500 led to the ordering of 3,000 doughnuts, but the student body showed its true school spirit when 2,200 tickets were sold. With the overwhelming participation, the committee was forced to raid the cook's icebox and many had to settle for frozen cake. All seemed worth it when the profit of $575 paid for the entire eagle project. On Dee. 15, Bob Benedict presented the eagle to the entire student body at dedication ceremonies. The program was broadcast throughout the school. In behalt of the students. principal, Mr. Vinaticri, accepted the gift and the eagle took its place on a pedestal in the courtyard. Mr. Dennis Anderson, custodian, prepared the pedestal foundation. 21
