Class Motto: Semper primus. The first class to graduate from McKinley after its re-establishment as a senior high school was organized early in the spring ot I933. It was the desire ot this class to produce the new McKinley's tirst annual, but as the time was not then ripe for such a pretentious undertaking, these ambitious new seniors were forced to abandon the idea and to bequeath the task to suc- ceeding classes. In September, 1933, this small group reorganized as Eights and set about the business ot preparing a tull senior program, The senior play, The Arrival ot Kitty, was produced in November, requiring more than halt the class tor the cast. Miss Reilly was the able and efficient director ot this comedy. Page Ten
