26 “Hose, whose ‘knight came riding ’ from France with his title and his millions only a few years after our graduation, is at present touring the Western states and will stop here a few days. Somehow 1 must manage to get the entire class here, that we may have a grand class reunion and pretend we are all together once more, trying to decide whether brown and gold or old rose and silver grey are more suitable for our class colors.” Another month found each of us, even Hussell from far away tier- many, around a banquet table in Kva’s home, with our hostess proposing a toast, ‘‘To the teachers who were so kind and considerate when we were thoughtless lads and lassies in tin Kouts High School.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY. WAS in Autumn, tlie time of much gladness That five youths and three maidens came to K. H. S. with out sadness. The members who formed our Freshman class were Freya Snodgrass, Mabel Ogden, Caroline Tofte, Harry Jones, Eugene Snodgrass, .John Shutske, John Radilyack ami m self. We began our studies under the leadership of E. E. Wright. Miss Bertha Tofte and Miss Harriet Felton. The following year only we boys returned as Sophomores tnd were guided through our second year of hard work by the kind teachers of our Freshman year. In the autumn of 191‘J Mr. Ralph M. Robertson became principal, succeeding Miss Tofte, who accepted the same position in the Hebron High School. Only two of us boys returned, John Radilyack and my- self. Soon John |uit school in order to finish studying telegraphy, and I was left to struggle alone. 1 find my studies a pleasure and it is encouraging to listen to the Seniors recite as it makes me anxious to fill their place. 1 do school work with the hope of being a “W ise Senior” next year.
