MEMORIES One September morn, in the year 1935, some 30 odd little beings passed through the portals of the great institution of learning, the Kimball Grade School. In those days punishment was administered with rubber hoses instead of the dictionary. The years trickled by, and we found ourselves trudging nearly a mile to school everyday. Most of us, that is. The obedient students of the brilliant class never seemed to do anything wrong, but we could never understand why every teacher quit teaching after we got through with her - - she just simply gave up! Then one bright sunny day we found ourselves not quite dry behind the ears, graduating from the 8th grade. However, we left our mark with the establishment of the 8th grade banquet. It seems they are still having trouble trying to give them. Freshman initiation was a gay affair (for the seniors, -that is)! We soon learned how to pick dandelions for sneaking with the seniors. Take this to heart, lower classmen! In our freshman year we were led by Jack McMurray and Mr. Flanders, and in our sophomore year by James White and Mr. Flanders. When we were sophomores we all went on a picnic to the Pine Bluffs Hills. During our Junior year, under the leadership of Maxine Mulvihill and Mrs. Grosshans, we gave the seniors the most spectacular (not bragging or anything) Prom ever given. A mystery-comedy play, The Night Was Dark, was put on with a howling success. We always do things in a big way. Kimball was represented at Boys' State in 1947 by Alvin Danielson and Francis Cortney. Maxine Mulvihill attended Girls' State. Leonard Sterle, one of our outstanding football players, was chosen to attend the football all-state rally at Lincoln. The class of '48 was honored also in '47 when Francis Cortney took first in the state high jump meet at Lincoln, jumping 5' 11 On the last day of school we all piled in the box of a truck and took out for the Wild Cat Hills for a picnic. After loafing all afternoon, we went to Scottsbluff to a show. As it this wasn't enough, we went to a circus. Then after a hard day we climbed back into the truck and rode home in the rain. —10—
