'IEFISHEII E EULA QECIELJEEJ A Message to the Class of 1935 0 The graduating exercises of 1935 will mark the transfer of your status from active to as- sociate, f r 0 m student to alumnus, but in no sense should the schoolts interest in your welfare become less vital. VVe are proud to see you go in the same sense that the mother takes pride in the growth and advancement of the normal child. In quite the same manner we experi- ence the lonely usinkingn sen- sation which every normal parent must endure as the m a t u r e offspring departs from home to devote his at- tentions and interests to a home of his own. As with the parents, this lonely feeling can be allevi- ated only by your frequent return to us in person or through word of your ad- vancement and success-dis- tinction in college, a vocation of service, happy marriage or any indication that we may have helped you build a foun- dation fo r happiness. W e shall be sorry to disclaim you as students of K. H. S., but shall be equally p r o u d to point to you as worthy alumni of the old school. The memories of each class become more sacred the far- ther removed in point of time. May we continue to serve you and share with your parents the joy of your success just as we have shared with them the pleasant responsibility of your training. -J . L. Engelhardt.

There have been ups and downs, joys and sorrows, work and play, discourage- ments and exhilirations. So- cial contacts have been con- tinuous. These have taught you the lesson of give and take. They have afforded numberless opportunities to help fellows in need, to show kindness and consideration, to give the word of cheer. In and through it all, you have had the wonderful opportun- ity of acquiring something of the vast accumulation of ex- perience and culture ot' the ages. And what is the result? You all have become better educated, we trust. And the educated, according to the old philosopher, differ from the uneducated as the living jif- fer from the dead. And so it is very fitting to congratulate you who have persevered in the school-a place which has aided you to gain a vievw of the meaning and method of real living. We wish you, each one, a life ot' happiness, full- ness, and true prosperity. My final word is: Don't stop growing when you re- ceive your high school di- ploma. Whether you go to college or not, the process ot' education is not complete un- til you reach the grave. ---L. N. Gish.

Please meet the faculty in rh me and verse, And after all the might have been Worse-- For saying an more 'tis neither time or place And anyway We don't have enough space. Mr. Kaufman can't play a fife, But he managed to get himself a wife. His wife, he informed, his eggs to poach Being's he's a wow o f a n athletic coach. .-Q. After all is said and done Teaching history ain't no fun, She chose matrimony instead- Well! Well! For Miss Forney there's trouble ahead. ...Q1 Button, button-who's got the button? If you want to know ask Miss Sutton. She knows how to cook and sew, And she makes lovely biscuit dough. 1Q1 Mr. Regier is the musician, In the school he holds this position, He works from early till late, His first practice beginning at eight. 10. Mr. Engelhardt, superintendent of the school, Likes mince pie as a general ruleg He has a wife and children, two, Don't think he has nothing to do. -Q... It's Miss Smith, not Jones or Brown, She's our Spanish and Latin teacher of great renown, She's our dramatic coach, also, As all of you must already know. -O Mr. Van Camp is a faculty member, And his birthday is in December, How he does it, there's no explaining, But he teaches the manual training. LQ, Miss McBurney, who reigns over study hall, Sits at her desk with a lordly look, And if you whisper you're asked to call After school to the study nook. .-Q1 Miss Wolfe has girl's sports, And sewing and biology-what fun! But, from all of the reports, She'll soon be going to Washington. .Q1 Miss Kellogg, we hear, Is going to attend school next year. She taught English and sponsored G. R. And she has-uh, well-a car. ...Q- Miss Hardesty teaches t h e freshman English class, And also has the Oracle staff. The freshman class keeps her busy But the Oracle staff makes her dizzy. ,Q- Mr. Osborn teaches chemistry, Which to many is a mystery, If you hear a big commotion, You know there has occurred a big explosion. 3 Mr. Gish reads the Topeka Capital, we know, Because every days he tells us so. He writes excuses for the absent and late, And holds in his hand the economic students' fate. 1Q1 Mr. Teas, now if you please, He says he likes limburger cheese. He teaches the agriculture boy how To keep, and feed, and milk a cow. ,Q-. Miss Heberling teaches part of the com- mercial course, And rules the students with all her force. She is preparing them for future years Which will do away with financial fears. ,Qi This phrase is often heard in typing class, , To get speed, Step on the gas. Miss Anderson also does office work, And never do you see her shirk. .-Q.- And now in closing this page of rhyme, We hope it hasn't been a waste of time. Now, dear teachers, don't take this to heart, For really, we didn't mean it from the start.
