nd S Sailed for Four Long Years The cla-s of 37 with eighty-one members started gaily, and yet somewhat cautiously, down the old mill stream, four years ago. Into these years have been crowded all the thrills, joys and mishaps of a high school career. We were quite cordially greeted and welcomed into K. H. S. by the upperclassmen and faculty mem- bers, who continued to be Hguiding lights until the journey was safely completed. Several of our mem- bers thought the sailing too rough, so they dropped out. On the front page of the first Oracle of the year '33 and l34, the freshmen were pictured as wearing extremely short skirts and short knee trousers. Per- haps we were the babies of the school then, but now we are ready to go out of school life into life's school. 1 I During the past four years the members of '37 have entered into nearly all the activities opened to them, and have made good. During the first quarter of the journey there were thirteen freshmen in both girls' and boys' glee clubs. The Hfrolicsome fresh- men chose all boys for their class officers: president, Bob Yeomang vice president, Carl Jones, secretary- treasurer, Bob Cloud. Venora Layman and'Helen Jean Gillen were elected student council members during freshman days. A There were eleven of us in the band fnearly one-thirdl and five in the orchestra when we were freshies. Besides those musically inclined, there were twenty-four out of seventy-eight in the, dramatics class. Six of the freshmen boys were brave enough to go out for football. During the first year, the annual freshman tests were given. Those ranking highest were Harold Kistler, Bob Cloud, Alma Jane Wallace and Mildred Claxton. The remainder of that year was spent in everyday tasks with some contests and festivals in- terspersed. In the sophomore year, Venora Layman was elected president, Jean Braly, vice president, Mary Alice Hornbaker, secretary-treasurer, and Helen Jean Gillen, class reporter. That year a boys, pep club was started, and from the sophomore ranks were chosen Bob Cloud and Bay- ard Robinson. The operetta, The Flower of Venezia, had six sophomores participating in it. They were Bob Yeo- man, Bob Cloud, Betty Jo Krehbiel, Bayard Robinson, Jerry Riggs and Charlene Weikal. Helen Jean Gillen was the only sophomore who went into debate that year. f The sophomore boys who were in boys' archery, were Dick McAdam, Bob Jenks, Ronald Kincheloe, Bayard Robinson, Farrel Nelson and Harold Kistler, The class during its junior year elected for presi- dent, Venora Layman, for vice president, Farrel Nel- son, for secretary-treasurer, Jean Bralyg for student council members, Mary Alice Hornbaker, Virginia Brand, Helen Jean Gillen and Bob Cloud. The juniors in the pep band last year were Harold Kistler, Bob Jenks, Charlene Weikal, Farrel Nelson, Mary Jane Murray, Venora Layman and Roy Webber. The big event of the junior year was the junior class play with Bernadine Govert, Farrel Nelson, Bob Yeoman, Charlene Weikal, Beatrice Reinoldt, Mary Alice Hornbaker, Levi Matlack, Marcella Beat, Aubrey Campbell and Bob Cloud in the cast. The juniors on the debate squad were Helen Jean Gillen, Jean Braly, Beatrice Reinoldt and Farrel Nelson. The seniors elected Royal Hughanks, the football captain, to be class president, Viola Base for vice presi- dentg Verna Wymore for secretary-treasurer, and Bob Cloud, Bob Yeoman, Venora Layman, Carl Jones and Farrel Nelson, the student council members. Bob Cloud was elected president of the council. During our senior year, President Roosevelt was in Wichita and many seniors, as well as underclassmen, were there to hear and see him. At the music festival this spring at Wichita, the seniors who attended were Jerry Riggs, Betty Jo Kreh- biel, Ruth Wagner, Ralph Starkey, Warren Brown, Venora Layman, Harold Kistler, Roy Weber, and Beatrice Reinoldt. And so after four years of rowing and paddling we have been tossed ashore, and some other group will come along before long to take our places. Our trip down the mill stream hasn't been an easy one, but it's been a happy trip and one we shall never forget. So ends our record of four years on the mill stream, Page Seven
