Gfass l.SZl0f'y Fox ever learn to kiss that way? During his scene with Joanne Holycross he even wiped his mustache off on her! As the year came to a close, the Junior4Senior prom was given in honor of the Seniors. The theme Stairway to the Stars was effectively carried out in the gymnasium. What Junior or Senior cannot recall that heavenly blue sky with glittering stars overhead? We even had angels CSophomoresJ. This year, after the band had saved their pennies and the student council generously had given 31,000 to the organization, the band was regarbed with new uniforms for the first time in about twenty years. At last we were Seniors. The nifty fifties we called ourselves and were we hot. Our hair was smooth and our clothes were slick, as Seniors we made a ter- rific impression. Our honorable dignitaries this year were: His Royal Highness, King Emerson I, better known as Dwight Comstock. As Prime Minister, we chose Paul Bishop, and Chancellor of the Exchequer was Robert Zeis. Our football record had a let-down this year, it seems the fellows exerted themselves too much last year, and this year just couldn't get on the ball. Need we say more? Homecoming was sponsored by the 'Student Council. Our Queen Betty Lati- mer and her attendants, Margaret Comer and Ellen Buchhagen, were given a royal coronation and ball in the high school gymnasium. This year square dancing seemed to be the dance. The F. F. A., 'F. I-I. A., Hi-Y and Y-Teens all engaged in this sport. Who cannot remember seeing Miriam Williams flying through the air at the end of Donald Heilman's manly arms? The F. H. A. also sponsored a talent show. Do you remember how Beverly Wynn danced like Ann Miller in her Sophomore year and then grew up to look like Al Jolson in her Senior year? The winter of our Senior year was very strange. On January 25th, the old thermometer stood at 70' above zero. I told you we were a hot class. Our up and coming dramatists formed the Thespians Club this year.'The offi- cers were: President, Marjorie CCleopatraJ Pfeiffer, Vice President Jim CHoratiop Alleng Secretary, Dolores fJulietJ Smith and Treasurer Harlan CHamletD Roby. The Dramatics class put on two plays during the year. The first one was 'Fri- day the Thirteenth'. Sly, cunning Bob Sprague was the villian who fooled Kipples lEverett Grubbj, the policeman. The second presentation was 'Song of My Heart? Joanne Holycross, as Sylvia, created a stir by deciding to marry at different man at the last minute. Lois Height, as Shirley, was the cause of a duel, and Dolores Kohler, as Desiree, stole Sylvia's betrothed. After weeks of practice, Howard Lindlay's Life With Father was presented April 20 and 21. Father's CDon Heilmanl temper and his dislike for church ser- vices were quelled before the last act by 'his sweet but clever wife Vinnie CMar- jorie Pfeifferl. Dwight Comstock and Lois Buchhagen Cas Clarence and Mary? provided the 'romantic' interest in the play. Varra Jean Hastings played Aunt Cora in a hilarious manner. In February the upper 40012 of the class 'sweated blood' on the Senior Scholar- ship tests. We wondered if they were worth it? Everett Grubb, Marjorie Pfeiffer and Bill Amsler took the three high places respectively at K. H. S. and placed second, fifth and seventh in the county. At last the end of the year arrived, and after Award Day and Senior Day, we walked down the aisles of the high school auditorium for the last time as students of Kenton High and received our diplomas. And so ended our high school life. We became Alumni. Lois Height A E. ROBY INC. COMPLIMENTS OF A ' ' COMPLIMENTS OF Office and School Supplies PAUL T. MAHON KENTON, oH1o I THE LIMA LOAN
