SENIOR HISTORY The senior year is the shortest of the four glorious years spent in K.H.S. It is also a year which is full of fun and activities, and one which will always be remembered. We seniors started out just as all do. As freshmen we came in with that green, bewildered lcok. Those who had been here as Junior High students had some idea of life at K.H.S., but to the outsiders every- thing seemed new. The Green Freshies as we were called, were led through the year by Ben Sherwood, ably assisted by vice-president, Jim Hutchcroft, secretary and treas- urer, Blanch Downardg and Student Council repre- sentative, John Larson. Class advisers were Miss Lindrothe and Miss Shippy. As traditions go so do the freshmen. For in the usual garb we were forced to button and carry the seniors' books, as well as endure the embarrassment of it all. As the year progressed we took part in many school activities. We chose Sally Hopkins as our Homecoming candidate for Queen. She came in as first maid of honor to the queen and was es- corted by Ben Sherwood and attended by Ruth Pat- ton. The three pony cheerleaders, Dot Bratton, Sally Hopkins, and Ruth Patton, were from our class and many freshman boys took part in athletics. Our sophomore year began with much zeal, as we lost our green looks and took on the responsibilities of being sophomores. John Larson led the class, with Rich Ireland, vice-president, Ted Putnam, secretary, and Sally Hopkins, treasurer. Ralph Brown repre- sented our class in Student Council. Mrs. Ambrose and Mr. Heerde directed our group through a success- ful year. Parties were a highlight during the year. The class held a party at Sally Dinsmore's home which was enjoyed by all. We also gave a very suc- cessful all school party. Much to our credit, the sophomore class was well represented in football, basketball, both varsity and junior varsity, and track. Honoring the king and queen at Homecoming as first maid of honor was Ruth Patton, escorted by Jim Hutchcroft and attended by Dorothy Bratton. To lead the varsity cheering, Dot Bratton, Ruth Patton and Sally Hopkins took part as cheer leaders. An inspiring Christmas play was presented before an assembly during the Christmas season. As the junior year came around, Dorothy Brat- ton was chosen president, Jack Clevenger, vice- president, and Dora Jean Bybee, secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Yemm and Mr. Farr, advisors. Sally Hop- kins was elected Junior Editor of the Jester and John Larson Junior Editor of the Blue Bulletin. Tasks of the year were immediately begun by ordering class rings and having our pictures for the Jester taken. The Homecoming proved very successful for we juniors put on the prize winning skit consisting of an imitation of Spike Jones' orchestra, put on by Gerald fSwampheadj Lambert, Keith CSpikej Sew- ard, Ben Sherwood Qcornetj, Jack Clevenger fsaxo- phonej, Glen Hartnell fclarinetj, Jim Hutchcroft Qtrombonej, John Larson Qwashboardj. Pete Tucker took the part of a waitress. In the Coronation, Bev- erly Rambo came in as third maid of honor, escorted by Rich Ireland and attended by Dora Jean Bybee. After Homecoming came tryouts and on December 7 the production of the junior play, One Foot in Heaven, a serious comedy written by Hartzell Spence. Although during play practice we seemed pretty impossible to Miss Isaacson, our director, the play was presented before a full house. In athletics we as juniors played an important part. There were five football lettermen, three varsity basketball play- ers, two of whom received letters, and five track men, who were worthy of a UK . This year climaxed with the long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom, which was held at the Soangetaha Country Club house. An evening with good food, good music and dancing was ful- filled in an atmosphere of a Southern Plantation, which was our theme. Then came the day, September 4, when we entered the halls of K.H.S. as seniors-a day and year we all had been waiting for. We started in gayly and happily and did not realize that it would be gone so swiftly. This day brought new looks to our faces and new thoughts to our minds as we realized we were starting our long awaited senior year. Gerald Lambert presided over us dignified seniors and was readily assisted by Jim Hutchcroft, vice-president, Jack Clevenger, secretary-treasurer, with Dora Jean Bybee and Keith Seward as Student Council repre- sentatives. Mrs. Huston, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Litch- field were our helpful advisors. Next came initiation! On September 14, we forced the green freshies to button and carry our books all day. The climax of initiation was an eve- ning party with a program in which all freshmen participated, much to their embarrassment. Selecting the Western Cafe as the theme for Homecoming, we Worked hard from morning to night decorating the set of western life. The pro- gram, on the night of October 17th, consisted of participants in musical, dramatic, and comical acts with the sophomores winning the prize for the best skit. To make the event more successful, Bev Collins, senior candidate, was crowned as the 1951 Homecoming Queen by football captain, Jack Clev- enger. Escort, Ralph Brown, and attendant, Marilyn Pruett, were selected by Bev for the coronation. As the year progressed we became very busy seniors. We took the traditional Skip Day trip, which we will remember for many years. The D.A.R. award was presented to Dot Bratton. Members of the class of Sl were again brought before the footlights when we presented the Senior Play, The Perfect Idiot, dircted by Miss Wilma Hasemeyer, on April 17th. The Junior-Senior Prom was held on the evening of May 25th and was a well accepted affair which will be remembered always. Class Day and the receiving of our Jesters made us realize our four wonderful years at K.H.S. were ending. On the twenty-seventh of May, Baccalaureate services were held. The final event came June Hrst as commencement exercises brought high school life to a close. With diplomas in hand we left K.H.S. as graduates, taking with us all the wonderful mem- ories of high school life. f17l

I9 J UN ICJRS The class of '52 began its pleasant journey through high school when Don Pont, our freshman president, received our class colors of green and gold the day we were promoted from the eighth grade. As freshies, under the guidance of Miss Shippy and Mr. Stamps, we soon began to lose that frightened, green look. We got off to a grand start by capturing the Homecoming skit prize with our skit, Emperor Dingho. Our candidates for king and queen that year, Pat Johnson and Bill Eiker, placed second to the royal couple. Even as freshmen, we participated actively in sports, and also provided the four pony cheerleaders. By the next year, as full-fledged sophomores, we had lost all of that green look. This year Miss Isaacson and Mr. Heerde sponsored our class, and Mickey Lacy guided us as president. Our most im- portant project as sophomores was the presentation of three highly successful one-act plays, Who- dunnit, Hummingburd Hiccups, and She Was Only a Farmer's Daughter. Each of our English classes, under the direction of members of the Speech class, presented one of the plays. Sophomore boys were on both the pony and varsity basketball teams and many won letters in football and track activities. We chose as president to lead us through our junior year Richard Henderson, who was ably assisted by Richard Henderson Jean LaFollette Mickey Lacy Beverly Bruce l Jean Laliollette, secretaryg Beverly Bruce, treasurerg and Mickey Lacy, vice-presidnt. Our advisors, Mrs. Yemm and Mr. Farr, willingly helped us with any and all problems which confronted us and contrib- uted much to the success of one of our most im- portant school years. To start the year right as upperclassmen we were busy selecting and ordering our class rings, and having our pictures taken for the Jester. We as juniors came through with flying colors at Homecoming corona- tion festivities when Colleen I-Iowerter, escorted by Rick Johnson, was crowned first maid of honor. On December 7, we triumphantly presented the junior class play, Brother Goose. The hilarious comedy, directed by Miss Hasemeyer, was a financial success as well as being enjoyed by all who saw it. In sports again the boys came through with many victories on the football field, basketball floor, and cinder track. Joanne White and Pat Johnson as varsity cheerleaders, with Diana Klinck on the pony cheering squad, ably represented the junior girls. In the music department, too, as juniors we were active, having many members in both the band and chorus. , The annual Junior-Senior Prom, the biggest social event of our three years at K.H.S., successfully and happily ended our junior year.
