Verses to pupils WHEN we reflect o’er High School days And wish to bring to view The memories of the brilliant “Rays”, (Raymond) We’ll all remember you. In Literature she takes the lead; We hope she’ll keep right on; (Edna) As members of the class indeed, We’ll share the honors w’on. With all his fame in History He ranks among the fewr. (Paul) To us its been a mystery Of all the things he knew. You’ll live forever in our minds We ne’er can you forget. (Vera) May time for you vocation find And naught your path beset. When out in this wide world of ours And launched upon life’s sea, (Ethel) May your paths be strewm with flowers And will you sometimes think of me? Ethel Cannon, T2

QTfje SMstorp of oute cfjool HE history of Kouts Hig-h School began in 1899. It be- gan its career as a two year course school. It has since gradually risen step by step to be one of the highest class, the commissioned school. In 1902 the term was length- ened to a three years course and continued thus until 1907. when it was given a four years course but put on the certified list. Along with this change came the addition of two more instructors in the High School Faculty, .namely: a principal and a music and drawing instructor. Our present Superintendent. Mr. E. E. Wright, also began his career as Superintendent of the Public Schools of Kouts, Indiana, in 1907. The first Principal of the Kouts High School was Miss Leach who only resided with us one year. The second Principal was Mias Atkins who left us after one year for the position as principal of the Wheeler Ili|gh School. She was followed by Miss Tofte who still remains with us. The year 1907 also brought to us Miss Viant as a Music and Draw- ing Instructor. She resided with us for three years and was followed by our present instructor, Miss Felton. In the spring of 1910, our school was granted a commission by the State Board of Education. The first graduates of the K. II. S.. to graduate from the commissioned school were Miss Clara Young and Arthur Lacount. The largest class that ever graduated from this school was the class of ’ll namely: Levi Stibble. Charles Handley, Lucie Iiiggart, Fanny Hannon, George Jones, Arthur Anderson, Martha Jones, Eunice Nichols, Otto Hofferth. Nora Denton and Grace Gay. In the year 1912 another instructor was added to the High School Faculty namely: Miss Katherine K. Kring. The class of 1912 consists of but five members, but we sincerely hope that in the future the Kouts High School shall prosper and send out yearly a large class of graduates, well prepared to fight the battles of the life before them. Paul R. Dye, T2.
