FOREWORD Graduating classes at Ken H1 have long tell the need for some means whereby they could leave a record of their activities during their life at Ken Hi. Previously, the thought of publishing such records in a class annual was an abstraction of which to speak hopefully but not a reality to be secured, Keeping this tact in mind, we, the Class ol' 1934, determined in the publication of this volume to serve a double purposeg first, to leave a desirable memorial of our classg and secondly, to provc that an annual at Ken Hi could be published. lf we have accomplished this twoffold task, we feel that we have leftafitting legacy to the classes that folf low us. The Editor ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Senior Class of 1934 wishes to express its gratitude to those who have contributed to th: advertising in our publication, and asks that everyf one will show his appreciation by promoting the welfare of the people who have so willingly aided LIS. . We wish especially to tender our appreciation to Miss Ada Fiscus for willingly rendering aid while acting as editorial sponsorg to Mr. Russell A. Artman, under whose supervision the financial success of the book was assuredg to Miss Martha Russell who aided in the subscription campaign through publicity in the Kentoniang to Miss Marie Walker and Miss jane Taylor for managing the candy sales which aided the hookg to Miss Sarah Barranco for her assistance in typing: to -all of the class and club sponsors for providing the records of activities and memberships of their groups, and to Mr. Louis Wise, representative of jahn and Ollier, the engravers, who was always on hand to render service of any kind.

HISTORY OF THE YEAR BOOK When the seniors of 1934 assembled in school last fall, they heard rumors that their class would attempt to puhlish a year hook. This end, they realized, was not to he accom' plished wixhout any difficulties. The most out' standing one heing the lack of funds, hut the determined class worked hard with the ideal of .1 siuccessful hook as its goal. Among the many activities which financially aided them were the ulollyfpop week during which the girls sold lolly' popsg tea and evening dancesg johnson the great magician who imparted his tricks of magicg and candy selling hy girls of the entire high school. Through these various means sufficient money was earned to edit the hook. Ta1eoken'l, which was suggested hy Beatrice Shukis and Harry West was chosen from ninety-f five names and is the annual's title. It is a conf traction of the words tale of Ken'Hi and is prof nounced Tailfefofken . A prize to the student who entered the hest name added much interest to the contest. The seniors of 1934 are proud that they sucf cessfully published the first year hook of Ken-Hi since the class of 1913.
