Senior Class This, the eleventh class in the history of K. H. S., never realized, at its entrance in 1922, the grand and glorious feelin' it would exper- ience when it should hold the most dignified and most respected place in the school. But, after passing through the various stages of high school life and having reached that pinnacle of glory, it has at last come down to earth to plain, everyday happenings. Early in October all the seniors met in Hall B to organize the class ot' 1926. The following officers were chosen: Victor Johnson, presi- dent, Ohristabel O'Reilly, vice-president, Evelyn Hotaling, secretary, Roland Green, treasurer. - By the time November rolled around the seniors began to think seriously about the usual Thanksgiving dance. So, on November twenty-sixth, after enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, they did not consider the day complete until they had danced the evening away Qin the high schood gymj to the irresistible rhythm of a jazz orchestra. Owing to the hard work of Miss Tarrant and the members of the cast, the senior play, The Goose Hangs High was made a success. One of the crowning glories of the class came when our illustrious president, Victor J ohnson, competed at Albany in the oratorical con- test for the high schools of New York state, and came home having a place near the top. In the latter part of April, the class of 1926 again met in the ac- customed place, Hall B, and elected Gertrude Legg as May Queen. Later, the date for May Day, May 21, was decided upon. Now, as the year 1926 draws to a close, the seniors turn back to the memory of the many friendships made with both teachers and students, and of the many happy times they have had within the walls of K. H. S. Commencement In keeping with the celebration of the sesqui-centennial of the Declaration of Independence, the commencement program will be patriotic in sentiment.
