Senior Class History It is now time for the graduating class of '56 to open the book of memories and see what has happened in the past twelve years of school. As we open the book we find that quite a number of the class started school here. They are: Marian Hoover Patsy Dewey, Carol Reed, Duane Cleveland, Shirley Pickens, Glenna Bancroft, lean Williams, Richard Mandrake, Leroy Campbell, Frank Bobey and James Burch. Carol Marrison joined the class about the half of the first grade. We had a toy band in the first grade which we thought was a lot of fun. Mrs. ferry was our first grade teacher. In the second grade we had one newcomer. Bill Brooker. This year we put on an Indian Program. Our teacher was Mrs. Kaull. In the third grade we didn't have any new students. This year we learned many different things in arithmetic and other subjects. Mrs. Keller was our teacher this year. In the fourth grade Joan Davis, Barbara Lovejoy, and Burton Bartram joined our class. Our teach- er this year was Mrs. Keller. Harold Weaver came to join the class in the fifth grade. Miss Vaunderburg was our teacher. In the sixth grade we had just one newcomer. He was Frank Fisher. Mrs. Day was our teacher. Finally, the day came when we could be with the high school. We had a little trouble while changing classes and getting into the right seats. But finally we had it all straightened out We didn't have any new pupils this year. We had a Junior High Basketball Team with which some of our boys played. Soon another year had passed, and we were now in the eighth grade. We had one new student, Mary Reger. This year we had a Junior High Basketball Team, also. During this year we lost one of our beloved schoolmates, Henry Fox, who was killed. We have missed him in the last four years of school. Then came the ninth grade. We think this is one year we will never forget. We were initiated by the Sophomore Class. We had a lot of fun even though we did smell of onion and garlic juice for sometime afterwards. We had two newcomers this year, Nancy McMillen and Claudette Slater. Our candidate tor Basketball Queen was Claudette Slater. Then came the tenth grade. This year we did the initiating to the Freshmen. We had a lot of fun giving them what we had received the year before. We had three newcomers to the class who were, Dorisse Ingramm, Janet Hinkle, and Victor Tiscenko. Our candidate for Basketball Queen this year was Janet Hinkle. Then came the most busy year. The eleventh grade. This year we worked very hard so that we could earn money for the Junior-Senior Prom which was held at the Lutz Restaurant in Painesville on April 30. We had the refreshment stand at the Basketball Games. We also sponsored quite a few dances. The Junior Play The Carpenter, under the direction of Mrs. Konnert, was a great suc- cess. We had one new classmate this year, Ronald Carter. Our candidate for queen was Jean Williams, who made a very pretty Basketball Queen for '55. Our Senior year has not been as busy. We have sponsored a few dances. Our biggest jobs are putting out the Centra-Light and K-Lite. We have had good success in both of these. Our Senior play Professor, How Could You! directed by Mrs. Weaver was a great success, also. Our can- didate for Queen this year was Glenna Bancroft. Glenna is our new Basketball Queen for '56. As we close the pages of our memories of twelve years in K. H. S. we think of the wonderful times we have had. Of course, we have had some bad along with the good, but we will never for- get our school days and the wonderful schoolmates we have shared these things with. As we leave the doors of K. H. S. there will be these memories which will never be forgotten. 15

Will We, the graduating class of 1956, of the city of Kingsville, county of Ashtabula, and the state of Ohio, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us. I, Glenna Bancroft, will my ability to eat and keep slim to my cousin, Sandra Bancroft. I hope your dresses will always be sizes seven or nine. I, Burton Bartram, will all my troubles in managing and keeping track of the Centra-Light, to Jimmie Risley. I sincerely hope you still have hair when you graduate. I, Frank Bobey, will my tallness to Jim Edixon. This is some trouble, though, as you will need to go with a girl who has steps on the front porch. I, Bill Brooker, will my tardy permits in history class to anyone who likes to sleep late. I also have an assorted dozen unused excuses for absences. I, Jim Burch, will my ability to run to school every morning to Bill Konnert. This makes a wonderful excuse for being tardy. I, Leroy Campbell, will my sweet way with the girls to Richard Branch. If you get in touch with me soon, I will also include six lessons, by correspondence, in How To Tell A Girl She Is Lovely. I, Ronnie Carter, will my ability to be as quiet as a mouse in classes, to Gary Bancroft. All you need, Gary, is will power - with a strong teacher. I, Duane Cleveland, will my bashful ways to Willie Hochschild. I realize that the time will come when you must be able to speak without blushing, so I am also including a twenty-five cent can of tal- cum powder. I, Joan Davis, will by baton twirling ability to Lucille Hinkle. You will need to practice twirling every day, eat only two meals a day, and refrain from indulging in sodas, sundaes, and milkshakes. I, Patsy Dewey, will my ability to eat lots of mashed potatoes to Jean Davis. I'll tell you my sec- ret - I have a cavity in one of my teeth. I, Frank Fisher, will my basketball position to Larry Nicka. This is guaranteed to make you irresist- able with the girls. Of course, a crooked smile helps. Practice this in front of a mirror three times a day. I, Janet Hinkle, will my cheerleading ability to Barbara Cedar. I recommend that you listen to Paige Palmer. I, Marian Hoover, will my librarian days back to Mrs. Konnert. I enjoyed my job. I, Dorise Ingram, will my Friday night dates to any girl who doesn't have a date. Please remember I am willing my dates, but not my boy friend. I, Barbara Lovejoy, will my photographic job to Alice dayman. Watch the spots before the camera! I, Richard Mandrake, will my quiet nature to Sue Mansfield. My rule: Quietness and seriousness. I, Carol Marrison, will my cymbal playing to some big Junior boy who can hit them real hard. I would suggest someone who has taken a Charles Atlas course in muscle building. I, Nancy McMillen, will by naturally curly hair to Johnette Eakin. Don't get too discouraged about training it, though, as it may take you years. I, Shirley Pickens, will my ability to go steady for four years to Eleancre Faulkerson. The happiness it will bring you will more than make up for any dates you might miss. I, Carol Reed, will my tallness to Barbara Cedar. May you reach the highest rung on the ladder of success and may you hang on for dear life. •I, Mary Reger, will my letter writing ability to Carol Carle. I hope it will be as pleasant for you as it has for me. I will also throw in my favorite recipes for cookies and fudge. These make light cookies and the postage isn't too much. I, Victor Tiscenko, will my good looks and charming personality to John Meyer. May they bring you the prettiest girl in school as they have me. I, Harold Weaver, will my Chevi to anyone who likes to walk to school. This is a wonderful item for those who must lose weight. I, Jean Williams, will my giggles to June Bartram. I sincerely hope yours will not break up any more classes than mine have. I would not like to have my record broken. In Witness Whereof, We, The Senior Class, the testators, have set our hand and seal hereto this twenty-second day of May in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and fifty-six.
