YEAR E DS, CTHER BEGINS The end of the 1958 school year seemed to come quicker than anyone anticipated. The first harbinger of the end was the ment night was June 6. Jerry Krebill was selected as the 1958 speaker. For Jerry and the other members of the graduating class this night brought to a close two years of study and ac- tivity at KCC but opened to them the choice of further education or job opportunities. The 1957-58 school year meant many things to many people, but KCC students will not forget the first Iowa junior college basketball championship brought home by Coach Lou Schmadeke and the Komets. The Komets were not alone in bringing home victories, the tennis and golf teams carried off top honors as well. The year did not belong to the athletic department entirely. The college drama group, the Masquers, presented their first full length play, Bernardine, in the spring. Delta Psi Omega, a national dramatics fraternity, had its inception in the spring of 1958 during which members were pledged in Rand Park at an open-air ceremony. On March 18 the college chorus represented KCC at the an- nual junior college music festival in Clarinda. No awards were given. The KCC chorus enjoyed the opportunity to sing in a massed chorus of 500 voices. The speech activities group represented KCC at the state speech festival at Mason City in April. Two students, Don He- witt and Max Hopkins, received outstanding ratings. And so the school year ended, ABOVE: .lcrry Krc-bill, 1958 comiriencernent speaker.

RE GISTRATIO RELAXATIO The summer passed quickly. The fall of 1958 brought an in- creased number of freshmen to KCC. Registration with all its problems occupied the greater part of the first week of school. When classes began, the lounge became a favorite spot for re- laxation between classes. The college crest in the center of the lounge floor became forbidden territory to the freshmen, but when the two-Week period was up and the Braves and Yankees battled for the crown, the crest as well as the floor was barely discernable under the chairs placed in the best possible position for watching TV.
