Four years ago, Little Diary, there came into K. H. S. a newspaper, KHS BREEZES. That first staff composed of seniors chose for the purpose of their publication, “The paper exists for the good of the school.” This has continued to lie the purpose toward which each paper staff member has worked. The senior staff of ’50-’51 has been responsible for writing and circulating the paper among its subscribers every two weeks. KHS BREEZES has ( een printed by the KINSLEY MERCURY. The BREEZES staff members have also helped with the publication of the KIH1SCHO 1951. KHS BREEZES STAFF 1951 S Ifi. ■I 5?' nl° ArT'v'™s VIma Mater Sing praise. Our color Come ’ It Junior .

Dear Diary, Our K. H. S. Student Council is a very active group. They have charge of all assemblies, promotion of friendly relationships with other schools, and sponsor many successful social activities. Students participated in many good times the past year because of the efforts put forth by this particular planning group. Our student council had the honor to be represented at the national student council convention in Denver. It is hoped that delegates can be sent to the convention in Wellesley, Massachusetts, next year. 26 Thirty-five boys participate i carried on by the Future The primary j cievelopmer ____ zenship.

Dear Diary, • This organization is our babe” in K. H. S. The Kayette club was organized just this year. All girls are eligible. Seventy-two members participate in the club’s activities. Kayettes have for their noble purpose—to teach the members the positive approach to life. In this 1951 diary of memories the Kayette club will long remember the Southwest conference held in conjunction with the Kays conference in Kinsley last fall.

They’re Hep.” The Pep club is well known for its constant and striving effort to promote pep and to arouse an enviable school spirit. At every game whether the result w’as victory or defeat, the Pep members cheering was definitely present. Homecoming was probably the most outstanding and most enthusiastic activity w’hich the pep girls sponsored in 1950-1951. Mrs. Kathryn Vaughn sponsored the Pepsters. 30 “They're the lads who display our prowess, Of brawn, of brain, and of finesse.” Dear Diary: This K-club, an organization for boys who have lettered in athletics during their four years in high school, was six years old this spring. The club now boasts of twenty-five members who are K lettermen because of loyal effort, sportsmanship and cooperation within athletic groups. Coaches Gibson and Sibley sponsored this group.

I’ll always remember that Minneapolis vs. Kinsley football game last fall on Friday, October 13, to be exact. But there was no superstitious jinx that night when our senior lass, Susie Etling, was crowned Homecoming queen by player Eddie Reed. Escorts Edmund Peters and Arnold Kamphaus conducted Queen Susie and her equally beautiful attendants, Patricia Taylor, Julie Ehlers and Mildred Fisher from the green convertible driven by Bon Allison to the crowning ground. Donita Hunter presented the attendants with yellow mum corsages, as little Donna Lippoldt, crown bearer, gave the crown to Eddie Reed. After crowning the Queen, Eddie did not turn down his privilege—that of kissing the queen. Susie reigned over the Homecoming dance. Music was furnished by the Kinsley Kombe to which alumni, students, teachers and visitors danced. 1950-1951 32 MIXED CHORUS OFFICERS Fula Smith, president; Dale Lorenzen, vice-president; Eloise Hamm, secretary-treasurer; Susie EUing, student council representative; Shirley Fox, Frances Bartlett, Harlene McCall, librarians. 34 Those melodious voices in the mixed chorus. 7)tt hir) cy time's Of course. Dear Diary, we mustn’t forget our mixed chorus. This musical group was a combination of the boys' and girls' glee clubs. Each Tuesday and Friday found them in the activity room rehearsing numbers for various programs. Probably the most spectacular number presented was the “Ballad for Americans” on Armistice Day. The Wheatbelt Music Clinic was held in Kinsley early in the spring instead of a festival formerly held in the league. K. H. $. musicians attended the district music festival, also. 35 Under the direction of Harlo E. McCali, the seventy-three members of the Kinsley High School band took part in many activities throughout the 1950-51 school year. They first entered in the festivities at the Hutchinson State Fair, taking part in the parade and evening performance in front of the grandstand. During the footlxall season the band entertained with music and marching at half-time of the games. Other performances included a Christmas concert, welcoming Santa Claus to Kinsley, district music festival, Wheatbelt league music clinic, and their annual spring concert. The season ended with the annual spring band formal. “Of all the groups we see on hand, Perhaps we’re proudest of our l)and.” Sally Iserman, president; Nedra Gatterman, vice-president; Evelyn Proberts, secretary-treasurer; Clarence Wilson, business manager; Dale Lorenzen, student director; Darlene Olsen and Mary htling, librarians; Patricia Taylor, drum major; and Susie Etling, student council representative.

With your colors flying, we will cheer you all the time. You! rah! rah! Go ye ole Kinsley, fight for victory, Spread forth the fame of your fair name. Now go ye ole Kinsley, win that game!” Members cf this peppy organization have been behind the team all the way in supplying music for pep rallies, pep assemblies, and games. They traveled to many of the out-of-town games, decked out in their white uniforms and always running over with school spirit. Although it was often a race against time, these loyal musicians played the school song, “Go Ye Ole Kinsley, before the starting whistle of each game. 37 The Junior High mixed chorus, consisting of 59 members and the Junior High band with 24 members, entered in the district festival with soloists. This band and chorus group presented a spring concert which also included some solos. The mixed chorus has entertained for various clubs and neighlior-ing schools.

This was the all-school dramatics production and it carried a cast of thirteen. In order that they might collect money for an immediate emergency, the Old Mill Players decided to staff a mock clinic with patients. Everything works perfectly with Mrs. Hoisington, the only patient. until her husband comes for her and Dr. Carruthers returns from a trip. A hilarious ending follows Mrs. Hoisington’s giving the players the much wanted cash l e-cause she too had once wanted to be an actress. 40 Patrons attended and admissions did pay. To see—‘Double Exposure’—the all-school play.” Three Blind Dates” a three-act comedy given by the junior class, was presented December 7, 1950. The attempts of a well meaning sister who aided her scientifically minded brother in Incoming popular among her girl friends added humor to this play. “The juniors revealed ability in dramatics, With ‘Three Blind Dates’ and their theater antics.” 41 F L s T I V A L P L A X Joel, seventeen __________________________________________ Edmund Peters George, his father_____________________________________________________Neil Hopper Martha, his mother_______________________________________ Patricia Taylor Ann, his younger sister_______________________________Clarabel McMullen Wade, an elderly neighbor___________________________________David Brown Miss Jessie Losey, Director LAST NISHTS PAPER “A Hero is Bom” brought fame to the cast, And a lingering memory we’ll always hold fast. 42 This cast of five presented the tragedy, “A Hero is Bom,” in the Wheat-belt League festival at St. John.

They didn t win many games, but that didn’t discourage them. The experience gained will be valuable for next year’s team. “In the gym, on the field and in the hall, Victorious or not, we talked football.’’ “We called these our ‘seconds in the fall of '50, But in 51 they’ll make a team that’s nifty.” Bottom row: Paul Mehringer, Donal.l Nolde, Donald Elson, Jerry Little.

A large number of boys appear in the picture as being interested in track, however, it was necessary to take pictures for track and tennis early in February. Therefore, it may be that not all these boys finished the season. The boys participated in the following meets: Sterling, Anthony, K. U. Relays, Hutchinson. Kinsley Invitational, Regionals, and a number of dual meets. ‘ In track and in tennis K. H. S. has its men. These boys completed a successful season playing several towns and competing in tournaments. Because the picture was taken early in the season, some of the boys shown here may not have finished the season.

The seniors found themselves the STAR fish in a beautiful sea environment. The surroundings of lovely mermaids, crabs, sea weed, octupus, suckers, and schools of fish made a most effective setting for the banquet. J—R Ranch We, as juniors, presented a banquet in real western style. The scene was a corral setting in front of a red barn and windmill construction. Western heroes and heroines served a menu consisting of Bull Dogger’s Special, Cactus Salad, J-R Ranch Special, Cow Puncher’s Spuds, Tumbleweed in Stetson, Flapjacks and Saddle Soap, Ranger’s Relight and Spurs. Don Conard and his band provided modern western music for dancing. s« September 16—All-School Mixer 22—First Football Game October 13—Homecoming 19—All-School Play November 19— Last Football Game 21 -Pep Club Party 28—Mother-Daughter Banquet December 1—All-School Party 11—Band Concert 18— Band Party 19— Basketball Season Starts January 25—One-Act Play 29—League Dramatic Contest February 12—Kayettes Part} 23—Senior Party March 5—K-Letterman Part., 12—Chili Feed 20—Music Clinic 28—All-Sports Banquet April 6—All-School Party 12—Senior Play 23— Student Council Supper 24— Pep Club Sock Hop 30—Senior Day May 5—Junior-Senior Banquet 9—Senior Farewell in Kayettes 11— «-Last Day for Seniors 12— Band Party 13— Baccalaurete 15—Class Night 17 —Commencement 18—School’s Out 53 Graduation evening found the seniors listening intently to Gerald Pearson, director of extension at Kansas University, its he talked to them on “Getting the Most Out of Life.”
