Yes but happy and proud of our new standing We shall never forget the big event of that year Freshmen Imtxation How we dreaded lt' And how hurt we would have been had we mlssed xt Then we were Sophomores The hard year for every student We felt left out of everything and hurt because the upperclassmen took delight Ln embarrassing us The one break in the monotony of the year was the Iumor Semor Banquet at which nt was customary for the Sophomores to serve And then to think We had to dress as Plckanxnnies Never the r . ' f ----. ' . , happy: each year much like the one before until we reached the eighth grade less we had a grand time and ye stole the show For our black faces short skirts and pzgtaxls kept the whltefolks vastly amused Then as thls year came to its close we began to make plans for the time when we would be IIIDIO s At last came the all zmportant year and we were Juniors lt was a Never to be forgotten year First our junior Play, The Tm Hero Never shall the memory of that event leave us our flrst play for some of us perhaps the fxrst appearance before the foothghts After thrs Christ mas then the One Act Play Andante Next the Muslc Festivals then the last blg event of the year our own junxor Semor Banquet This txme we were not mere waiters but the hosts and hostesses wlth great respons 1b1l1ty We turned the Gym lnto The Stork Club and here spent a most pleasant evening with our guests the Seniors of 1946 our faculty the school board and other friends At last txred but happy we came to the end of our junior year VICI 1946 47 We came we saw and now we have conquered Thls ns our Semor year and whlle there are now only four of our orlgmal group wlth us Mary Mc Queen Rasmussen Arloa Gmgles Alxce jackson and junior Lamont never McQueen Rasmussen Donna jean Lemon Bonme Austln Alice L jackson Doris l Reynolds Arloa Gmgles and Dorothy lean Games and four boys Bob Bogart jxm Claggett junior Lamont and Kenneth Burlan Our Semor year started wlth a Bang when on the first day of school we recelved our class rlngs Then almost before we knew xt we were called out of class to have ,ur mctures taken and just before Christmas a place was found for our class picture on the east wall of the Study Hall Due to a change of the schedule of activities we were unusually busy thls second semester wnth a heavy Basketball schedule the County Declamatxon Contest the Music Fe stzval at Phxlhpsburg and Hays the One Act Play Contest at Logan the junior Semor Banquet and our own Semor Play Sneak Day and Commencement On May the 3rd 4th and 5th we gave our Semor Play The Daffy Dills This as probably the high spot mn our school life We had talked and planned and worked together wzth our coach Mrs jess McMindes for so long that when the curtam was lowered for the last time on the third mght of the play for a few minutes we felt at loss as to what to do next however such a feelxng soon oass ed for early the next morning we together wxth our sponsor Miss Scott, and Supt Mr Lass started for Denver Colorado the place we had chosen for our Sneak There we spent a most enjoyable three days then txred but thoroughly satxsfied we returned home in tlme to attend our classes on Thursday On May the 13th we held our Semor Assembly This was our fxrst appearance an our caps and gowns and our last one as students of K I-I S At tl-ns txme we follow ed the customary procedure the reading of our Hxstory, Will and Prophecy ' ,, Q -- -,-- l I - - - on ' n c I .

S beautlful home and I mlght add that they are gradually flndmg a use for its many attractlve rooms Then the voxce seemed to drxft away and the globe began to grow cloudy I closed my eyes then suddenly I remembered another classmate Bob Bogart Again I turned the globe and studled xt intently then I began to smile for soon I saw a face Bob s face as we all knew him, struggling up from the shades of the past wearing the same carefree smxle the same merry twmkle ln has eyes Yes the same Semor boy of 47 who had so many cute admirers but never once gave them a chance But eventually he had overcome his shyness, as he IS now married to a beautxful gxrl he met whale attendmg college at Harvard, and today he IS runnxng for his second term as Senator representmg the state of Pennsylvama lust as Bob s face receded mto the depths of the crystal ball I heard my study door open I the tenth member of the Class of 1947 rose to greet my husband As he entered the room I excitedly told him of my experlence this m a Ford and Lincoln Automobile Factory And I like the rest of my class mates am very happy and feel I have been lucky and successful In my years since graduation Bonnie Austin Class Wall I a duly authorized attorney of the regular bar of Brains, have hereby upon behalf of my clrents, the Class of 1947, of the School of Kxrwxn State of Kansas assembled you together on this solemn occasxon to lrsten to the last wxll and testament of sand Class duly made out by me legally s1gned and witnessed by said testators We the Class of 1947 having come to our last hours and bemg ln the full possessnon of our faculties feel it incumbent upon us to say a few words to our heirs concermng the long years whxch we have passed together, more or less happily Our life has been long and full of vlcissitudes yet we have often thought that the life which is full of what are known as ups and downs as the most enjoyable because the contrasts between light and shade prosperxty and ad versity make a varied existence which rs attractive to every human being We have seen some lxves that rolled on wxth such perfect peacefulness and quiet, no startling upheavals no changes of any kind that xt became wearxsome just to behold them We are arranging our worldly effects and conslgning to our lawful and natural hezrs all our worldly goods and chattels with all the appurtenances and . , . . . .
