Kent High School to start their high school ca- reers. Fourteen of these students came from the grade school and the remaining four came from the parochial school. From this number three decided to seek a life which did not include a higher edu- cation and seven students entered from other schools to make the present total. twenty-one. The most prominent memories of our four years of high school are those of games. plays. parties. dances. proms, and other innumerable events that brought joy and fun to this class as well as the other classes. Our first unforgettable memory is that of the day that strikes cold chills in the hearts of all fresh- men. Initiation Day. the day that brings joy to the Sophomores and. secretly enjoyed. humility to the Freshmen. The members of the Freshman class spent that day bowing, carrying books and sharp- ening pencils for the mighty Sophomores. That night both classes enjoyed a party at the expense of the Freshmen. Later that year the class visited many points of interest in Chicago where they ac- quired much knowledge and sore feet. The next year. as Sophomores the situation of in- itiation was reversed as we thought up many forms of torture for the new Freshmen. That year our class also published the school paper, The Campus PI'f':r.ll Page thirty-eight Our next year in high school was a very im portant year for us. As Juniors we sponsored the refreshment stand at the football games and took charge of the dances which followed the games. That year many of our classmates showed their dramatic ability by appearing in the annual Junior class play. Adam's Evening and the Dramatic Club play. 'LNathan Hale. These activities provided finances for the prom and banquet in honor of the Seniors. The theme Dancing in the Dark wa- N followed throughout both the prom and banquet. the many burdens and depts. shoulders of the senior class. At the firnst of the year we attended to the small but important matter of invitations. calling cards and graduation pictures. Seven members of our class published the Cam pus Press. This year our class gave a three-act comedy entitled The Wrong Professor. and spon- sored the yearbook. After these came the dances after the track meets Finally there was the senior trip, Baccalaureate. and graduation. Now a new life for each student. After our summer vacation we had to take over that are upon the

The Kentland schools have heen fortunate, in face of the scarcity of teachers, to have had a strong faculty. This faculty represents college training in nineteen different schools of higher learning. Six inemhcrs of tl1c faculty have masters degrees or the equivalent. These teachers love to teach and the welfare of the boys and girls is upper- most in their minds. The success of the graduates of the Kentland schools. in college or vocations, is proof of the caliher of teaching done hy this faculty. Wfayne Turpin, not shown in this group, came to the school in December, replacing Stanley Smith as director of athletics. Mr. Turpin has the same fine training and teaching skills as do the other faculty IllCllllJCl'5. Page thirty-seven
