ORIOR CLASS HIS TOST This Is your TV Channel K.H.S. We will now switch you to the first grade station. Miss Judy Soma is the mistress of ceremonies. Under her direction we present our first group of students—Bonnie Anderson, Jane Anderson, Marcia Bartel, Lloyd Jensen, Bussell Lienau, Shirley O’Brien, and Janet Saettre. You have probably noticed how sad this group of first graders look. This is because Miss Soma is not here to hand them their final report cards to promote them into second grade,where Dolores Vail and Thomas Beaver will join them.Perhaps the most memorable scene at this station is the time one of the boys tickled Miss Brodin's toes while she was reading the class a story. How we quickly switch past the third and fourth grades to the fifth grade, where we pick up Connie Pox. A bad accident has just occurred on our sixth grade TV station. Itfs around Christmas time and Miss Sorenson has Just broken her hip. As the sixth graders and their two new students, Delores Dahle and Joanne Sheppard, talk amongst themselves wondering who will take Miss Soren- son's place it is announced that Mrs. Aimer Ottemess is the new teacher. The seventh grade TV station is a completely new station, with Eleanore Punk and Alfred Hedge sitting in. New cast members added to the eighth grade station include Olenda ElLingson, Margaret Bartel, Plorence Keller, Harold Ness, and Leslie Thronson. Maggie and Jiggs are starred as the initiation king and queen of the freshman TV station. In the background you can see the new green freshman-Eileen Hanson, Thomas Larson, Arvid Boyun, Phyllis Kent, and Shirley Saxton. If you look hard as we hurry past the sophomore station you will see that a number of sophomores are staying after school nights convalescing from that well-known disease—zkipitis. Mr. Butterworth is our first scene on the junior TV station. That man behind the stage pulling his hair is the world famous director and producer, Mr. Bernard Schultz. The right back corner of the city hall is vibrating because the silent messenger boy and the star of the play, Violet, are back there trying to shake off their nervousness. Those screwed-up faces the cast is making is not their make-up; it's only from the lemons they are chewing on. Our next scene is at Diamond Jim's Tavern for the Junior-Senior Prom where the two classes and the faculty members are having a Gay Ninety time. No dance follows the banquet, so we will switch to the senior TV station while the Juniors and seniors go their separate ways tfter the banquet. By the way, those two new characters on the junior scene were Doris Lyke and Base Hanf • That pretty girl in the center of your television screen right now is the Homecoming Queen, Dolores Vail. Next to Dolores are her senior attendants, Bonnie Anderwon and Jane Anderson. The Homecoming dance tonight is a big success regardless of the fact that the football game was lost to G odhue this afternoon. If there is a little smoke rising from your television set now don't become alarmed and call your repairman because it's only from the heated argument being held between the Democrats and the Republicans and the •Undecideds during the national election. Now as the smoke slowly settles you will see that the arguing has been brought to a conclusion by the school election and everything is slowly calming down. This senior TV station i6 not yet completed,but there is a feeling of optimism in .the air. The seniors are looking forward to the end of May with happiness, tinged with a fesling of regret about leaving K.H.S. 10
