Margie Baxter The Class of 1940 started out as a rather large one. As Freshies our officers were wisely chosen and the class, under the wise guidance of Miss Jennie McElwain and Mr. Ball, spent a successful year. We were well represented in all extra-curricular activities. Having passed all requirements and survived the usual life of green freshies'7, the class of V10 are working hard in upholding the tradi- tions of K. H. S. ' Several Sophomores took part in Homecoming although none of them won prizes. ln 1937 our boys were well represented on the gridiron and cage teams., Footballs letter were awarded to: Gerald Dean Davis, Arthur Mates, Charles Fender, and Lloyd Sommers. The advisors are Miss Young and Mr. Batell. The class colors are olive green and gold. The Freshman Class Class M otto: Find A lVay Or Make One Class Colors: Red and White Class Flower: Rose President ,... s - Clarence Daley Vice-President .. - - William Talbot Secretary-Treasurer - . Keith Reynolds Sponsors ,..... Miss Woolsey, Mr. Ball The seventh of September, we, fifty-one Freshmen, began our High School career. Although the youngest class, we soon took our place in school activities. The fact that each time the Honor Roll was published about one-fourth of the class was listed shows we were not lacking in scholastic endeavor. About ten of our boys were out for football training in the fall. When the basketball season came, at least that many would have stayed out, but because of the need to limit the group only a few had the opportunity to work out on the basketball squad. Other members, follow- ing their interests, joined the band and the glee clubs. The Freshman Jester concessions were both very successful and showed that we could. work together for the whole school.
