:::::: ; ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I H SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Listen my children and you shall hear, The Senior History of this year. How on the first of September in ’22 Twenty green Freshies entered two by two, With six now left the tale to tell Hote one by one by the wayside they fell. The green leaves of summer were tinted with the bright shades of autumn when we entered the old K. H. S. as Freshies. We were as green as others had been before us and waited in the hall until the ringing of the last bell bade us enter. Making a mad rush to get the remaining back seats we were disappointed to learn that the front seats were assigned to Freshies. The first day we became acquainted with each other and learned that our class consisted of twenty members; namely, Louise Johnson, Helen Knopinski, Helen Griffith, Helen Collier, Alice Griffith, Ruby Goodpaster, Mae Noggle, Lucille Kosanke, Evelyn Kamrad, Laurette Lyon, Mildred James, Bernice Wolfiom, Albertena Landfadt, Roy Wandry, Lewis Hiland, John Herring, Cecil Apgar, Lionel Finney, Harold Clause and Leila Rosen- baum. We next became acquainted with our faculty and learned that Mr. Bell taught French; Miss Moran, English; Miss Kruell, Domestic Science and Mr. Bryan, Algebra. “Oh,” we thought (and still think) “if only we could meet the man who introduced Algebra into our schools?” At the end of the second month Mr. Bryan left and Mr. Glenn took his place. It was during our first year that we received 100 per cent in deportment and acquired the name of “The Most Ambitious Class Ever In School,” a name to which we still adhere. The following fall we returned but part of our class was missing, Mae Noggle and Lionel Finney were going to the Morgan High School, John Herring, Harold Clause, Ruby Goodpaster and Albertena Landfadt had also drifted away, but Ancil Beall was added to our ranks. This year Mr. Roberts taught mathematics; Miss Moran, History; and Miss Jones, French and Geography. To the disappointment of all Miss Kruell and Miss Shortz did not have any of our classes. Again we received high grades and were progressing well, when Mr. Roberts resigned and Mr. Burrus took his place. This year much of our bashfulness had vanished and we even ventured to whisper when no teacher was present. The third year we were seven. Laurette Lyon had joined the ma- trimonial ranks, Evelyn Kamrad was going to school in Chicago, Lucille Kosanke was taking a business course in Michigan City, Alice Griffith was attending the South Bend Business College and Helen Collier, Helen Griffith and Bernice Wolfrom were also missing. We did not know of their intentions but were sure of hearing from them in future years. Twenty

::::::::::::::::: : n::::::::: Our curriculum this year consisted of United States History by Miss Hutton; American Literature by Miss Coleman; and Algebra by Mr. Baker. Here our paths divided and some took Geometry by Mr. Baker and others Economics by Miss Hutton. Mrs. Dorney taught music and Miss Kruell had the pleasure of keeping Assembly several periods while we were present. It was during our Junior Year that we acquired fame in “Dramatics” by presenting the play entitled, “Am 1 Intruding,” under the splendid coaching of Miss Coleman. Our fourth and last year has proved to be the best of all. Our saddest thought is that Mildred James is no longer with us. Mr. Vaughn teaches Bookkeeping and Physics and Miss Sheffield English Literature, Vocational Information and Civics. Miss Coleman, now Mrs. Lesinsky, Miss Kruell and Mrs. Dorney were back again, but having their hands full of Freshies and Sophomores, did not get the Senior Classes. At the end of the second month. Mrs. Dorney left and Mrs. Zimmerman took her place. This year we have set the example of Dignified Seniors in the hope that our lower classmates will follow us. We have worked hard and with the aid of our parents and teachers hope to go forth in May with smiling faces and carrying our dipk mas, to face the world and always remember our Motto, “Through Trials to Triumph.” Leila Rosenbaum ’26. :: :: :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: m :::: : :u m Twenty-one
