Settitn i¥i4t tocf, Early one September morning as a hoard of unusual beings we were taken in a room known as the kindergarten. We struggled through a music contest, 2 May fetes, and a play. Some of our educated group were Jack Vencill, Kenneth Clinger, Joan Strasheim, Bill Maginnis, Sonia Torgeson, Donna Mulvihill, Jim Stander, and Robert Pinkerton. In 1946, 14 boys and 15 talented girls entered K.C.H.S. A week later none of us thought we were so talented after the initiation we were put through to become Freshmen. During our freshman year we were led by Mr. Flanders and Johnny Vencill. During our Junior year through the leadership of Jim Stander, Mrs. Marhefka and Mr. Panchear we put on the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet for the seniors. Our theme was the Stork Club. Miss Swick directed our junior class play, NUTS AND BOLTS”. As seniors we were led by the boys and Mr. Pancheau. The play, BEST FOOT FORWARD,” was presented under the direction of Mr. Babcock. The outstanding athletes of our class were Jim Stander, Bill Maginnis, Sammy Marshno, Martin Esch, and Frank Land. DONNA BARRET is now in Dix and is known as the number one lady of society, since she has taken up the occupation of teaching women drivers and has provided the city’s first stoplight. SONIA TORGESON is starring in a Broadway theater and sells Packards on the side. ANNABELLE BLACK has established a lonely hearts club in one of the large cities. Her customers are complaining, though; it seems she keeps all the best prospects for herself. B. J. RAPER can’t make up her mind which college to attend - - Yale or Harvard.

BILL MAGINNIS is seen arguing with history teachers - as usual at Creighton. JACK VENCILL bought a cow and is now attempting his own milk route. CLYDE NELSON is the proud owner of a ten acre ranch. We are still wondering why we see MAX LITTRELL’S Chevrolet crossing the Colorado line in the wee hours of Sunday morning. DELMAR TJARDES and La VERN GORANSEN are very successful in the burlesque show business. BERDINE PETERSON is living near the highway and is enjoying her private swimming pool. We see BARBARA SMITH teaching at K.C.H.S. It seems they want to keep it in the family. ROBERT PINKERTON is the Professor of Science at University of Nebraska. He still loves to be thought of as a genius. MARTIN ESCH once had hopes of becoming an M.D., but due to circumstances beyond his control has now resorted to being a veterinarian. DONNA MULVIHILL is happily married. We won't mention any names but his initials are Lloyd Kallhoff. We see RITA.now soaring through the wild blue yonder as an airline hostess. We can’t understand why she makes so many trips to see the pilot. JEAN KEITH spends her time among the three states of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado. MARY ANN and ALMA have taken up school teaching at Oliver. LEE RAY is now one of the prominent judges on the Miss America Contests. (Still looking them over, huh, Lee?) DICK SHEPARD has an establishment in Jacinto. He sells Chevrolet cars. DORA STAAB hasn’t decided what career she wants as yet - - manager of Hesteds or Stahla’s Dairy Store. JOHNNY VENCILL lent the Ford to their son for his first date, the same one he and Lois used. DELORES LeMAY is married to one Dick and worries about the other one.
