Among these were fauna Milky, Justin Sommers, Arthur Kneifel, Goldie Hurley, Mary Jane Hendrickson, and Grace and Donald Schnniacher. lake all kids, we tried to get away with everything we possibly could, but Miss W allium, our teacher, soon told us differently. During this lirst year Arlene Hampke joined us; she came from Hebron. I Ik following year, which was our second, found us putting on an operetta, “Tom Thumb's Wedding”; our star players were Dicky Knog- gle. the ..... and Mary Martin, a first grader, the bride. We had some new additions this year among whom were Helen Bu- kalski., Mary Ann Betterton, and Fred Henning. In the third grade we had quite a few new adlitions; they were Thelma Moekler, Elizabeth Mindy, Bill Neuffer, Dorothy Reinhardt, Bernard Hannon, Eugene Rogowski, Eugene Sinn, Howard Neuschafer and Donald Rfledderer. Our next two years went by pretty fast and in rhe sixth grade we again tried our skill at putting on an operetta. The star players in this operetta were Bernard Hannon and Elaine Ashby, a new student. During the rest of the sixth grade the other new pupils were Golda heever, Robert hureh, Elsie Cooper, Jim Elkins, and Rosetta Green. At the end of this year we lost Adaline Lowe. Then came the big day when we were to enter Junior High. Most of us were afraid because we had heard it was hard, but we soon found out it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. Barbara Cross joined us in the seventh grade, coming from Illinois. Golda Cheever and Mary Jane Hendrickson left us at the end of the seventh grade. Jim Myers and Jim Tuesbiirg came to join us, only to have us in the eighth grade. Victor Neulfer. Donald Ml'ledderer, Joan Humanti, Bernard Hannon. Howard Neuschafer, Jim Elkins, and Ros- etta Green all left us at the end of the eighth year. Our next big day was the one we graduated from Junior High and became full-fledged high school students. We were so scared at the thought of walking across the stage for our diplomas that some of us ran all of the way across and practically grabbed our diplomas from Mr. Lippert's hand. in the ninth grade Joyce Sutter joined our (lass. She came from Deleva ii, Illinois. We lost Hubert ('luireh at the end of this year. We lost one girl, Goldy Hurley, at the end of the tenth grade. In the eleventh grade Beverly Johanson joined the class. While we were Juniors we gave a play entitled “Brother Goose ; the money from this and a magazine sale went into the treasury to save until the end of the year when we took the Seniors to Turkey Hun and gave them a 1 rom. This prom was the first to he given in our school. We had the gym dec- orated like the “Stork Huh in New York. At the end of the eleventh year Klsie Gooper left us to take up school in Gary. Donald Schumacher left ns to join the Army. Gene Tabler join- ed us. In our Senior year Hill ('laypool. an ex-Navy mail, joined our class to finish where lie had left off the previous year. Fred Henning lett us this year. We gave our Senior play October IS, entitled “IV.dessor How Gould Yon? ’ with Miss Dittmer supervising. We also sponsored a dance Janu- ary 11. 1947. Well, that is our history and we hope that the classes to come will have as much fun as we. the Glass id 17. had. Class Prophecy As (lie sun cast its last rays upon a little white cottage on Long Island, an imported green roadster drew up and stopped. A handsome young man with blond hair stepped briskly from the car. He was by his three-year-old son, who lisped, “Oh, Daddy Gene, we going to the thiren tonight ; Muzzer Barbara says we was.” ihat night, while at the circus, the Sinn family witnessed a terri- ble accident. The famous fat lady, Dorothy Reinhardt, fell from her po- sition at the extreme top of the tent. Fortunately, she landed on the back of an elephant and was uninjured. I he next day the Sinn family started on a world-wide tour by plane. In Ireland they came face to face with a thin, lanky gentleman who was veiling, “Walloons, balloons, toy balloons, all sizes and colors.” Barbara exclaimed, Well, it it isn t our old Iriend, Art. Why are you so thin Art?” “WV11, you see,” he replied, “I always fill up my own balloons.” As they passed an aerial postotlice where they stopped to mail a card, they found .Judd Sommers, the professional stamp licker. (An added service in all up-to-date postoffices.) At the Lazy Z Mule Ranch in Siberia they saw Rill Claypool win a rodeo. In a chop suey shop in Peking, China, Junior bumped into a wait- ress who was gracefully balancing a bowl of chop suev on her Lead.. After wiping the soup from her eyes and ears she was discovered to be Helen Bukalski. Sailing along the coast of China, they were overtaken by a band of pirates. The leader, a short, stout person, was recognized as Eugene Rog- owski. Later as they rested in the Brazilian jungle, they heard a voice behind bushes saying, “One, two, bend—one, two, swing—swing.” Upon investigation they found Miss Dittmer surrounded by Brizilian Monkey Community School. In Cairo, Egypt, a dark-lmired lady, standing on the street corner pointed her finger at them and said, “15,81)7,634; 15,897,635; 15,897,636.” When asked to explain, Mary Ann told them she was the world census taker. In Constantinople a sign on a large building announced, “The Great American Doctors.” Inside they saw Gene Tabler and Bill Neuffer who told them that their secret formula for H20 and C12 11220, with equal parts of Sodium Chloride was bringing them wealth. Beverly Johanson was in Paris modeling new Paris creations. In Russia, Joyce Sutter was found to be Molotovs right-hand .uni. At an airport in England our party recognized two stately, modish- 1V dressed women each holding a chain to which was attached a dog. Lorna and Gracie said they were giving Hector and Sarge their daily ride. dene Barbara and Junior started homeward, rejoicing that they had seen all of their former classmates; Barbara to return to the peace fulness id' the little white cottage and Gene to his profession as high- pressure Hot Dog salesman on Coney Island. —Joyce Kut ter Class Will W the Senior ('lass of 11)47, Kouts High Schorl, County of Por- 1(-r.

Student Council I i ‘ liMli- ti Student Council of K1IS Inis assisted in governing nil school lunctions. .Mr. Overlndser was the sponsor of our group. The purposis of the Council were to assist the principal and the faculty in the administration and supervision of the school affairs and to give the students practical experience in self government. I lie 7th. Nth and 'dth grade classes each elect one representative; the 10th elects two; the lltli elects three and the 12th elects four; this makes a grand total of 12 members. Tin 12 members then elect their officers to lead them throughout the school year. The president and vice president must he seniors. The secretary-treasurer must lie a junior. One of the big items of most importance that the Student Council has been trying to be successful in is writing up a new award system and also a Constitution for the school. They have also been verv suc- cessful in putting on programs of entertainment throughout the school year for the entire student body. The school paper. The l ouiscri tt, is published periodically by a staff of .Juniors. The purpose of the school paper is to keep the student body inform- ed on the activities of the various clubs and classroom news. Interesting editorials are published and a little humor is added. The stall consists of two editors selected by the dunior sponsor. These two co-editors in turn are helped by other members of the class which they appoint for certain articles. Student Council FIRST ROW: M. Retterton. (i. Tabler, C. Stutske, IS. Sinn. F.

They played their hearts out in the first three games and won them without too much trouble. The final game ended with the Mustangs on the short end; but the boys went down like .Mustangs, and in the minds of most who witnessed this game, our boys were champs. The team is composed of five seniors, three juniors, and one sopho- more. Let's take a trip through the dressing room and get better ac- quainted with the fellows. The first one we meet is that tall, dark-haired senior; yes, that’s right. Hill Claypool, ex-navy man and center on the team. As far as rebounds are concerned, just ask any player who played against Bill. Those he didn't get must have gone through the bucket. By Bill’s side we find another senior, Eugene Sinn, better known to his team mates as Spark, lie never scored very many points but when it came to winning he went all the way for old KIIS. Who’s the next fellow? Well, he's always pulling some crack or trick on someone. You guessed it; its Iiay Hfledderer, that dark-haired, good looking junior. Bay held the other guard position and was right there when it came to scoring points o- intercepting passes and stealing the ball. There sits another junior, John Stanks, who held one of the forward positions. Everyone liked the way he burned the nets with those two-hand shots from far out. John was always good at dropping in those quick set-up shots on the fast break. 1 wonder who that big fellow is over there. Why that's Ees Sut- ter, sophomore, who held the other forward position. That's the boy who won the («old Basketball, the outstanding player award at the County Tourney. Need we say any more except everyone knows he really de- served it the way lie poured in the points. Les was the high scorer on the team this year. Who's that fellow over there throwing shampoo and powder all over everyone else? You might know; it's Judd Sommers, a senior, or maybe you know him as Eujaek the way he throws those long passes or shoots those two-handed shots; lie's good at them. It looks as though Mr. Atlas must In sitting over there on the end of the bench oi- ls that just dene Rogowski? Yes, it's Sum, another senior, who played either a guard or forward position. Sam was always in tin game to win for the Mustangs. 1 wonder who that little fellow is over there all ready to go and waiting? That must be Art Kneifel, another senior. Art was always ready to go before anyone and usually had to help the rest find their jackets or shirts. There's only one fellow left: you guessed it ; it s Charles Cannon or just plain Chuck. Chuck is still celebrating that bucket lie made in the South County against Hebron that put the game in the bag. Well, there you have the Mustangs of 'Hi '47. and there they go out the door onto the basketball court tor another game. ic has the ball polished and French is waiting on the floor.

It looked like a good year ahead as the boys had that old siprit to win. They also realised if they eonld get their name once more on the traveling trophy it would be theirs |� ermanently. Everything went just fine as they won all of their conference games. After winning all their conference games fhev were South 1 mmty f liamps and were to meet the North County Chani| s iChesterton) at Hebron’s diamond on October All g ««I things come to an end and so did our winning streak. The boy wanted to win: jierhaps they wanted to win too badly, because we dropped the game 13-7. The team hated to lose but they took if like good Sport For five seniors it meant the last Uiseball game they wonld play for old KHS and that only hurt worse.

They become members at the end of their sop- homore year when they are initiated by the junior ills. Only those who wish to join need do so. The officers, president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, are elected at the end of the year by the juniors and seniors of the coming year only. To hold an office a girl must be a senior and be elected by a majority o! the votes cast. These offices are held for one school year. I'here are several different ways used to raise money for G.A.A. sponsored activities. G.A.A. sponsors a Mother-Daughter Banquet where all mothers are guests of the G.A.A. A queen and her court were crown- ed this year by fellow students at an all-school box social. Each year our association buys a gift tor the school and also needed gvm equip- ment. The G.A.A. has a point system by which any girl in high school or the seventh and eighth grade may earn different types of awards. These points are earned by taking part in different activities, sidling at noon and at basketball games, and doing stunts passed by the sponsor. One thousand eight hundred points must be gotten in a year to receive any type of award, half of which must be earned the first semester Thy awards are as follows: seventh and eighth grades—felt emblem; fresh- man and sopho...... year—numerals; junior year—gold and black “K”; senior year—gold and black sweater with chevrons indicating the num- ber of years points were earned. Parties and business meetings are held periodically throughout the year. At the parties points are passed and group games are played. Bus- iness meetings are held during club periods and sometimes at noon. G.A.A FIRST HOW: II. Bukalski, M. Betterton, M. Martin, E. Downs. SECOND ROW: (5. Schumacher, ’. Peterich, E.
