Four years ago, how time does Hy, We entered Kennett, timid and shy. Getting used to the school was time well spent, While Freshmenls Reception was our iirst big event. The lipstick and beatings were really rough, But we proved to the Seniors that we Freshmen were tough. We soon befriended many guys and gals, And even those Seniors became our pals. Our first taste of sorrow came when the doctor sent, Home, fatally ill, our dear Mrs. Kent. Many things happened during our first year, Both an organized ski team and Miss Meyers did appear. 'Twasn't very long before the ski team gained fame, And soon Miss Myers changed her name. At the end of the war we began to rave, For soon back to Kennett would Come Crush and Dave. Sophomore year and plans to pursue, But we needed money to carry us through. As a solution we put on a ball - Nothing terrific, but enjoyed by all. Music at Kennett had gone astray, But it soon was revived by our director Miss May. At the close of the term we were saddened to hear, That our beloved Mac would retire next year. 24 And so when we went back to school in the fall, It was Dave who gave leadership to us all. We worked much harder than ever before, But pleasures and fun were still in store. When finally midyears came and went, We turned for a while towards merriment. For now it was time to form our plans, For that big event, our Junior Dance. We planned and worked all day and night, So that our Prom would turn out right. When the evening came the crowd was gay, There wasn't a thing to stand in our way. That Prom we all remember still, And I donit doubt but we always will. And soon another year had passed, The time went now increasingly fast. Soon we were Seniors and how we made tremble, The Freshmen that we once had closely resembled There were more new activities than ever before - A Student Council, Orchestra, and even more. The Kennett Karnival, also of great mention, Was such that it lived up to greatest intention. Now Commencement is nigh and the time anears, For us to say good-bye to our happiest years. We are joyful yet in our hearts we grieve - ltys a sad experience this dear school to leave. We shall always remember these happy days, As we divide to go our own ways.

Foothall 28 The l948 football squad ended the season with a challenging record for the teams of the future. By defeating or tying all threc opponents in the newly organized VVhitc Mountain Conference League, the Kennett team honored the school by securing the first football trophy in the school's history. None of the opposition was a push-over, for com- posing the league were Berlin, Littleton, and Plymouth. The student body is proud of the record of our team and we sincerely hope that the teams of the future will follow the example set by this yearis squad. l The Varsity Recor Berlin 6 Kennett 7 Norway 6 Kennett 33 Somersworth 0 Kennett 2 Kennebunk 13 Kennett 13 Littleton O Kennett 0 Plymouth 18 Kennett 20 Gould Academy 28 Kennett 12 Won 4 Lost 1 Tied 2 I.

Baslzethall Facing one of the stiffest schedules in the history of Kennett basketball, this year's squad finished the season with a record of thirteen wins and ten defeats. The team started rather poorly and lost a large percentage of their games. After the Christmas vacation, however, they came back on the courts to win eight straight hall games. This hrought them a bid to the State Class B Tournament held at Durham, N. H. Despite the fact that Kennett was not victorious, we are proud of the good record and fine sports- manship that the team displayed throughout the entire season. 30 l The Varsity Recor Lancaster Tilton-Northfield Bartlett Bartlett New Hampton Gorham South Paris Littleton Alumni Sornersworth Berlin Meredith Bridgton Littleton Bridgton Plymouth South Paris Gorham Hanover Berlin Somersworth VVinchester Pinkerton Won Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Kennett Lost V.

The Kennett Girls' Basketball team rang the curtain down on another successful season. After losing five of their first eight games, the Kennett lassies, refusing to quit, made a lively comeback to finish the year with a record of six Wins, six losses, and two ties. High scorer for the season was Marie Frechette with 158 points, While Joan Butler and Lois Flint were second and third respec- tively With 116 and 95 points. Our sincere thanks go to Miss Elliott for her excellent coaching and to the girls themselves for their splendid record and good sportsmanship throughout the year. l Kneeling: Elaine Clemons Ccaptainj.

The height of their activities was marked by the cheerleading contest at Meredith in which they competed. Despite the fact that they did not Carry off top honors, their performance and sportsmanship were admirable. Upon Marie Frechette, next year's cap- tain, was bestowed the honor of representing Kennett in the Miss Cheerleader Contestv of 1949. The spirit and pep that these girls in- stigated in the student body was one of the deciding factors in the success of our athletic teams and we give our sincere thanks to them. l 33 CCIICEIJGIS Kneeling, left to right: Richard Church tcaptainl, Imogene Opton, Fred Peters.

The first competition of the year was the state meet held at Mt. Sunapee and although Kennett did not win, jim Layne and Wally Ashnault carried off the individual honors in downhill and slalom. Our skiers went on to defeat Holderness and tie Laconia. VVith almost the entire Varsity gradu- ating this year it was most encouraging to witness the enthusiastic turnout of underclass- men and we sincerely hope that they will uphold the fine record made by this year's team. l34l M, f First row, left to right: Bradford Bemis, Phil Rancourt, Bud Blake Ccaptainl, john Cannell, Briggs Bunker.

In order to have our yearbook printed before graduation, it was necessary to com- plete all Written material before the beginning of the 1949 baseball season. Team members and records of games played are thus not available in this publication. The schedule, however, will be composed of Ossipee, La- conia, Alumni, Gorham, Bridgton, Berlin, Plymouth, South Paris, Holderness, and Notre Dame. We wish our team the best of luck and hope that its season will be one of great success. i351 Baseball my, 'fin 63:5 Q YWMZT gui'-L' , Surf -.. I W1 ninth. x 1 7,4 , vw WW HS.

The purpose of the Council is to enable the student body to co-operate more fully with the administra- tion in organizing and directing activities. By practicing a representative type of government within the school better qualities of citizenship are developed in the students. The Councilis many activities this year included conducting assemblies, providing en- tertainment during recess, and sponsoring Parents' Night. The usefulness of this body is already pronounced and We hope that the Council will receive still more recognition in the future. l First row, left to right: Miss Giles Cadvisorj, Henry Seavey, Elaine Clemons, Marilyn Ex ins lack Dakin, Beulah Richardson.

On April 21st the club produced a delightful three-act comedy entitled Date Bait. The cast, made up of Beulah Richard- son, Albert Hill, Bill Pratt, Marilyn Evans, Sally O'Neil, Marie Frechette, Briggs Bunker, Dick Elliott, Dick Church, Frank Trask, jay Wulfson, Glenn Pitman, and Carolyn Sullivan did an excellent job and we are indeed justi- fied in taking great pride in our Dramatic Club. l 39 Dramatic Kennett Krier taff This year marks the third successful year in the history of our school newspaper, The Kennett Krierf' Beginning in 1946 as a weekly bulletin, mimeographed in our own commercial room, the paper has grown to a six page edition, printed at The Reporter Press. This monthly publication serves as a medium of informing alumni, parents and friends of the general activities within the school. It contains complete coverage of schol- astic achievements, clubs and athletics, besides a number of jokes and personals. This news- paper is not only useful, but it also provides an excellent opportunity to develop literary talent and become acquainted with editorial work.

To gain membership to this honorary society the students average must be 9009 or better at the spring term of the Junior year. During the Senior year other members are admitted with an 8792 average. Once founded this club wanted some symbol to stand for the organi- zation. A pin, fashioned of three gold keys in the shape of a K , was suggested as the answer. Membership in this organization brings not only justifiable pride in Work well done, but it is a convincing proof of scholastic stand- ing and ability.

Mr. Buck, aided hy Noel Well- man, took the club on several very successful trips Where the members learned much about lighting, picture composition, and photography equipment. It was a heartfelt loss of the entire student body when Mr. Buck suddenly passed away this Winter. He had given much time and energy to the school and we deeply mourned his death. Since then the Camera Club has re- mained inactive but it is hoped that next year it will take a leading part in our extra curricu- lar activities. l First row, left to right: Richard VVatson, Imogene Opton lirmk Richudson fPres1dentD Nlr Seidenstueclcer Cathletic directorj, Beulah Richardson Elune Clemons Second rovx left to right: William Pratt, Harvey Blake, Henry Seaxey Brldtoid Bemis Richard Church George Richardson. Atlmletlc ASSOC1i:1t1011 The Athletic Association, with Mr. Carl Seidenstuecker as adviser, sets up requirements for varsity letters and numeral awards and judges upon the same. Monthly meetings are held at which members bring in various proh- lems concerning inter-scholastic and intra- mural sports which are then discussed and solved. The Athletic Association has proven itself a vital part of our athletic program and its decisions are highly respected. L41 Mixed Glee The Kennett Glee Club, composed of about sixty-five voices and directed by Miss Golden May, has taken an active part in the extra curricular program this year. The club is divided into four separate organizations, namely: the Girls' Choir, Boys' Choir, Mixed Glee Club, and the K-Dettes. The Glee Club opened its season with the Sacred Christmas Concert and their per- formance greatly surpassed even the splendid record made by the club last year. Other concerts were held at Gorham, at the Audi- tion's Festival, and at the Soloist Festival. Miss May and the students deserve much praise for making the Glee Club such a successful part of the school activities. Miss May Cdirectorl, Joanna Smith Cpianistj.

Kennett is proud of its up-and-coming band and We expect big things from it next year in adding to the pep and spirit of athletic contests and other school activities.
