X . . Senior Historu X ISTOY n 1 X Yi, Ikxpsx, ,... r N NSA -3, 12 . X Q.,....hA 1 We, the seniors, have donned our caps and gowns and are now walking up the aisle to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance, marking the end of our never-to-be-forgotten days at K.H.S. As we walk, we think back over our four years here and all the things that have made them eventful. The tradition of the Green Freshiesu was upheld by our class, as most of us, except for- mer junior High students, had quite an ad- justment to make. We were ably assisted by Don Pont, president, Pat Simkins, vice-presi- dent, and Rolly Eklund, secretary-treasurer. Class advisers were Mr. Stamps and Miss Shipfpy. After the endurance of the buttoning to seniors and all that goes with a proper initia- tion, we started to take part in school activities, first of which was the annual Homecoming. Our candidates for king and queen were Pat Johnson and Bill Eiker. Pat, who was at- tended by Verna Terpening, came in as second maid of honor. We copped first prize in the individual class skits with our presentation of A Day in the Court of Emperor Dinghof' Helping to inspire more pep in the freshman boys who took part in sports were Pat Simkins, jo Anne White, Mary Lou Cross, and Diana Klinck, who were the pony cheerleaders from our class. We entered our sophomore year minus the green looks and filled with the eagerness of putting another successful year behind us. As chief leader we chose Mickey Lacy, with Richard Henderson as vice-president, and Rose- mary Lashbrook, secretary-treasurer. Miss Isaac- son and Mr. Heerde helped us through this eventful year. joan Carlson, escorted by Richard Hender- son and attended by jean LaFollette, was our selection for queen candidate, and she was second ,maid of honor to the royal couple. Many of the boys in our class were proving to be good athletes both on pony and varsity teams, and they won many letters. That year Pat Johnson and Jo Anne White were selected as cheerleaders on the varsity squad, and Pat Simkins and Diana Roseberry 'were on the pony. Then we entered our junior year. Richard Henderson led us through this year with the help of Mickey Lacy, vice-presidentg jean La- Follette, secretary, and Beverly Bruce, treas- urer. Mrs. Yemm and Mr. Farr were the class advisers who offered advice and guidance. First came the excitement of selecting and ordering our class rings, then of having class pictures taken for the yearbook. Attending the royal couple at Homecoming as iirst maid of honor was Colleen Howerter, escorted by Rick johnson and attended by Pat johnson. J On the evening of Decemberi7 we success- fully presented Brother Goose and, in spite of the bad weather, had a full house. Miss Hasemeyer directed this well-accepted comedy. In all sports our boys came through with Hy- ing colors. jo Anne White and Pat Johnson again were varsity cheerleaders with Diana Klinck as our representative on the pony squad. We drew the year to a close by presenting the Junior-Senior Prom at the Soangetaha Country Club. Everyone enjoyed an evening of dining and dancing in the atmosphere of gay, old Mexico. And then, itfinally came, that long-awaited day when we entered the halls of K.H.S. as almighty seniors. As leader for our most important year we chose Don Pont, with Richard Henderson as vice-president and Bev- erly Bruce, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Huston, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Litchfield proved to be helpful advisers, which we needed in our last year. We were honored to have Pat Johnson as Student Council president and also recipient of the D.A.R. award. Continued on Page 22
