0147. 0l Q15 In the year. 1939. twenty-five pupils started their education at the Kentland Grade School. Most people will know these students as the Sophomore Class of today. Of these twenty-five. only ten are in the class today. ln the freshman class. however, we acquired five pupils from the parochial sehool. Through the years the class has acquired many new students. and many students have moved away. Wie were also unfortunate this year in losing two of our hest- likefl students: Phil was involved in a fatal motor-scooter accident during the first week of school. while Eleanor has spent almost the entire year in Robert Long Hospital as the result of an automohile accident. In the latter part of 1948 we ohtained our new class sweaters. Wve chose green and white as our Colors, and our sweaters are green with white numerals. Wfe have had dances. hake sales and other projects to help raise money for our treasury. because in our senior year we might plan to take a trip to Wvasliington. Uur class is very active in sports: we have niemhers participating in foothall. haskethall. track. and baseball. Each year our class enters a class tourney in which all hoys are allowed to take part.

That was the day our friends dressed the girls in pajamas. shorts. tee shirts. boots. high heels, while green ribbons were placed in braids. on fingers. and wrists. The girls carried sandbuckets and shovels to school and wore sweet smelling lifehuoy necklaces. The boys carried their favorite dolls and wore their shirts backward. complete with tie and high heels. Wie were all glamorized with war paint. That evening we were honored guests at a party held in the gym. Thus ended the day which had been either dreaded or looked forward to for so long. Wie are proud of Joetta Curran, who was elected Queen of the Homecoming Dance held last fall. This year also found many of our classmates joining the Sunshine Society. F.H.A., F.F.A.. and Hi-Y club. A number of boys went out for football, basketball, and track this year. Page thirty
