and Growing Glowing SINCE THE DAY of July 1, 1954, when Kasson and Mantorville Schools consolidated, the two bodies have progressed as one spirit. ENROLLMENT has reached an all time high for the high school of 465, and faculty, too, has increased to 24 plus the guidance counselor and the principal, to meet this constant demand. THE JR.-SR. HIGH building, completed in March, 1958, made it possible to offer additional courses: French and vocational agriculture. All departments found themselves with plenty of much-needed space in ad- dition to new facilities. Since then, new equipment has benefited all departments. Athletic teams, band and chorus were decked in new school colors; blue and white. Physical education was strengthened with parallel bars, new mats, a trampoline and a new athletic field, including football, track, baseball and softbalL NOT ONLY did the students learn, but parents and community members as well reaped the benefits of night classes in agriculture, homemaking and civil defense. FOR TWO YEARS, Kasson-Mantorville H. S. has sponsored AFS foreign exchange students. In 1957-58 Katsuji Miasaki came from Japan for the school year; and again in 1960-61, Kristine Schoenfeld from Germ- any studied here. In the summer of 1958, Rita Stucky was selected by the American Field Service to travel to Italy for three months. WITH A GROWING school, goes the call to wider horizons, in our case, the Hiawatha Valley Conference, which we joined in 195758. Here the band, chorus and athletic bodies met and accepted the challenge. Stiffer competition resulted in a more united spirit to come out on top—and that we did—when in 1959-60 our foot- ball team reigned Conference Champs, and in 1960-61, the baseball team went undefeated. In 1961 we sent the largest delegation to All Star, and the gridders tied for second place with St Charles for the glory of K-MHS. WITH A RISE in school spirit, came additional energy expended on clubs and organizationa Honorary societies appeared with the tapping of eleven charter member to National Honor Society in April, 1960. 1960-61 marked the initial selection of members for Quill and Scroll. TO SUMMARIZE the consolidation of the two communities, Kasson and Mantorville, one would find the words “growing and glowing” quite apropos. 4
