Carrol Hayes, Bessie Wolbrandt, Donald McKinnon, Lucille Cannon, Leo Khutske. Robert O’Brien, Harry Mochler, Lillian Metherd and Wayne Hockett, met in the hallway of the K. H. S. They were rather timid at first but after the teachers gave them the front seats they soon forgot it. They were brought into the broad fields of Algebra and Agriculture by Mr. Wright and into German and English by Miss Tofte. They soon learned the duties of K. II. S., that of giving both oral and written book reviews, theorems in Algebra, Es- sentials of the German language. Plant Life. etc. After the beginning of the New Year, Carrol and Alta left their ranks for other callings. But they who remain are struggling for the honor of being Sophomores in 1913. Lucille H. Cannon, ’16. Lillian I. Metherd, ’16. N the fifth of September, 1911, three maidens, Caroline Tofte, Freya Snodgrass and Mabel Ogden, and five youths. John Radilyack. Harry Jones, Eugene Snod- grass. John Shutske and Lee Williamson entered Kouts High They took up their studies under the guidance of E. E. Wright, Miss Bertha Tofte and Miss Harriet Felton. In the Autumn of 1911 only the youths returned as Sophomors. Again they took up their studies with the same teachers. The class, consisting entirely of boys, have become especial- ly interested in the study of Agriculture, tho. all other branches have received their due share of study, worry, anxiety, etc. In two short years we also hope to be “Wise Seniors.” £s opf)omore Class J tstorp School.

Junior Class Jnstorp THE history of the Junior Class of nineteen-twelve is normal. This section of Kouts High School is composed of a merry bunch of lads and lasses who number sweet sixteen. We left the eighth grade after a dreadful examination, spent the summer dreaming about lilac blossoms and pink roses and finally on September, the sixth, twenty-seven of us enter- ed in the glories of K. H. S. W'e then began to wonder who the little black-eyed prin- cipal reminded us of mostly; if Professor Wright would scold when we were minus our lessons and if the studies were in truth very hard. For one long term we toiled and struggled with English, Algebra, Botony and German. With joy we welcomed ex- emptions; with valor we fought the exams. In the Sophomore year our course was changed. Wre left the study of nature for facts about Greeks and the Romans. Our German grammars were laid aside for a time, and many a pleasant trip was taken through the Vaterland and up and down the Rhine. Later Geometry was added and then followed Commercial Arithmetic. The pleasures in all were sought for. and the mysteries in many were solved, for we have thus far left noth- ing undone. Although we with sorrow watch the Seniors leave our dear school yard, we will rush to refill their places with a shout of, “Make way for my lady.” the class of the year of ’13. Eva Noland.
