ONCE UPON A TIME

The Class of '23. Four years ago last September, a crowd of very green and very wide-eyed freshmen invaded the halls of K. H, S. in pursuit-or at least so we suppose-of the fruit of knowledge. Risen to the new dignity of high school students, they at first believed their importance second to none. But as time went on, Huniility, child of Vlfisdom, entered their hearts, and the present senior class, while presumably the most learned, is the least complacent in the school. As sophomores and juniors they drifted along, Working a little, playing a little, and learning to love the school more and more. Some of them, even then, gave promise of' talent along various lines, but it is as seniors that these once careless and frivolous freshmen have proved their true spirit and worth.

The busy seniors found time for yet another dance in April. This was held on Friday, the thirteenth, a date supposedly unlucky, but from the glowing reports of those present, the old superstition will have to be reversed. May, the eighteenth, was truly a spring festival, a good whole holiday. In the morning, according to custom, the senior class with appropriate and htting ceremony, crowned one of their number, Elsie Fuchsle, Queen of May, and arranged other appropriate exercises. The
