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.
