Our longing ambition since we entered high school as Freshmen has been realized. Now as we look back over our years we are sorry that we have wished them away so fast. Hal Roberts, our president, was ably assisted by Warren McClure, vice presi- dentg Patsy Kelvie, secretary, and Glendora Miles, treasurer. As representatives to the Student Council we had Eugene Ingels, Bob Griner, jean Mehlig, Keith Kern, Bob Ropes, Geneva Benjamin, and Bill Siktberg. The RED AND BLUE prospered under the new plan of a different editor for each six weeks' period. Those who served as editors were: Eugene lngels, Mary Elizabeth Smith, Josephine Luecke, and Hill Siktberg. New heights were reached in the SARGASSO this year, for over a thousand supported the efforts of Peggy O. Matthews and Charles Bennett. Private Clarence reported for duty at 8:00 p. m. on April 3 and 4.

Thanks to the juniors under the able leadership of Elizabeth Evans and Wfillis Knipe we were honored with a wonderful Reception. Shirley Minnix reigned with all her grace and dignity as Prom Queen. To bring our years to a close we presented our own commencement. The familiar melody of l'omp and Circumstance was heard as we received our diplomas and bade old K. H. S. a lasting Farewell !
