QPCLJQJ fo grcwfuafion Twelve short years ago. thirty-three Kentland Forty-Xiners started their school careers. Soon six years had elapsed. 111ost of which was consumed with battling childhood diseases. Then most of us entered the high school building. This climaxed our six years of struggling with shoe laces and scuffed knees. Our two years of Junior High passed swiftly. Xext we started our first year ill K. H. S. as green freshmen. Une major activity was the dreaded Initiation Day. At the end of this year the biology class enjoyed a wonderful trip to Chicago. Our sophomore year found us editing a small school paper. Our important ,lunior year camel At the beginning of the year we elected our oflicers. headed by an excellent president. Frank Mullen. Frank had big plans for our class. Although we had only thirteen cents in our treasury at the start of this year. we decided to go to Vliashington for our Senior trip. Our brains started ticking. and our football concession stand and dances were wonderful successes. Then also we ran a candy stand during the noon hour. Wvhile admiring our rings. we selected our class play. Those Wiebstersu. which was a smash hit. the first of January. During the year we served various food sales. All year long we dreamed of the glorious ,lunior prom and banquet which culminated our ,lunior year on May 1. 1948. To usher in our Senior year. we managed a successful pop stand at the Xewton County Fair. Once again our ambitious ,lunior president was re-elected. Around the last of September flashes of white and black were seen inthe halls-the Seniors had their sweaters. October found us posing for our Senior pictures. Wie decided. with the help of Hr. Smith. to publish an annual and Beverly Wfhaley was made the editor. Also the Seniors published the Campus Press under the editorship of Howard Hensley. Between serving banquets. having paper drives. hobo days. sales. and annual activities we managed to select our commencement invitations and name cards. Earlier in the year we chose our class colors. lnotto. and flower. White and black are the official Senior class colors and gardenia is our flower. Stronger Because lfnitedn, our class motto, displays the spirit of the class during the last two years under the leadership of our outstanding officers and sponsors. Page seventy seven
