As we look hack upon our high school life, we rememher that it hasn't all been Work. Certainly we have had those nights when we carried home piles of hooks and those days when one test or quiz followed the other, hut it hasn't proved disastrous to any of us. What we will remember hest, however, are those fabulous times we had working and playing together. They started in tenth grade when we tool: our trip to the Philadelphia Zoo with Mr. Keim and his student teacher acting as chaperons. Then in our junior year we toured the Hershey Chocolate Plant and the hattiefield at Get- tysburg where some of us showed our rehel- lious spirit hy purchasing Confederate Hags. That same year we selected our class colors, hrown and tan, and then ordered our attrac- tive class jackets. Qur school rings, the standard gold hand and hlue stone design, also arrived about the middle of the year. Of course, our pride in KAHS soared to new heights when our school regained its title as Berks County Basketball Champions hy defeating Wyomissing in a display of our team's excellent haskethall ability and determination. Along the more academic line, those of us who had chemistry will never forget those times when We wondered hose experiment would he the next to xplode. Then came the climax,-'we were seniors t iast.

plans for the future, since graduation was fast ap- proaching. What a grand time we had staging our class play, t6Mav I Come In? its success was over- whelming, hut then we surelv worked hard enough to deserve it. But no douht the greatest moment in our entire high school life came on the evening when our haslcethail team won the 1959 Class B State Championship title. Words cannot describe the feeling which arises when your Cougar team has won twenty-nine games. has lost none, and has reached the summit.-fthe highest title for which it can strive. Now our pride in KAHS has heen rooted even more firmly. There are other things worth remembering, too. Our stock market hoard in P.0.D. was lots of fun, and so was our trip to the courthouse. Our Senior Farewell was a hit more solemn an occasion. for then we hegan to realize what the name realty signified. Now all that fun and work is ended. We will never he ahle to return and spencl three more vears at KAHS with our classmates and faculty. All we can CIO now is rememher the hig and the little things which happened there and hope that other classes will have the same fun and opportunities which we have had as the Class of 1959. 6
