He has been on the baseball and baskektball teams for 3 years and the track squad for 4 years. He is taking the College Preparatory Course. Now a tribute we would pay thee. Our Alma Mater dear. With loyal hearts we hail thee. Thy children gathered near. Our fondest hopes are with thee. We pledge thee love untold, We give again a three times three. For the Crimson and the Gold. Old times may often take us Far from our high school home. False fortune oft forsake us. As through this world we roam. Yet ever fresh we’ll greet thee. Our love shall ne'er grow cold; Our Alma Mater Kingsville High And the Crimson and the Gold. Then Kingsville High forever Friend of our High School days Naught from thee our hearts can sever. We will ever sing thy praise. In after years we’ll sing thee. As in the days of old; All hail to dear old Kingsville High And the Crimson and the Gold. Salutatorian Alma Mater

SENIORS RICHARD SIMON Just call on Dick when you want to laugh, For he can make you do it. The Star of all the Plays we’ve had, He always makes a hit. RICHARD DAVIS Another Richard, but that’s all right, He has helped to keep us going. He was in on the money- making schemes. And in the “dough” came rolling. JAMES THEISS “Jim” finds hunting an absolute must. When he’s not working in school. If it’s running around the track you like. He’ll challenge you to a duel. ROBERT HAYS “Bob” helped both our plays run well, He sings in chorus, too. You can usual’y f'nd him driving around. When there isn’t any school. JAMES SIMMONS “Jim” likes to tinker with automobiles. At least to keep his going. I hear he’s fine at woodwork, And excels in mechanical drawing. WILLIAM FANDRICH “Bill” joined the class a few years back. And can argue with greatest skill. He makes fine music in singing class, —Listen if you will. RUSSELL LOUDEN “Russ” likes to make the camera click. For pictures any time. He’s been managing the “Kings” for many years. He also thinks music is fine. JERRY GOODE Sports come first with Jerry, And sleeping, so he says. But working at the corner in Kingsville, Is another like ( ?) of his.
