After many months of waiting we finally received our class rings and everyone seems very much satisfied with them.

     At the beginning of the school year we elected our class officers. They were: President, Norma Reed; Vice-President, JoAnn Hanks; Secretary-Treasurer, Janice Heggs; and Reporter, Phyllis Meadows.

     We know one of the greatest moments of Mrs. Anderson's life (our play sponsor) was when the curtain fell on the final act of our Junior Play. We know it was very trying on her nerves, but when you stop and think of all the enjoyment we Juniors got out of our devilment -- it was worth it. One of the long-remembered, unsolved mysteries of the Junior Class is the mystery of the smoke coming from behind the curtains during play practice.

     This has been a "red letter" year for the Sophomores because, first of all, we have accomplished two things which we think no other class will be able to do (at least we hope they can't). First, one of our classmates, Ivan Beede, is now a member of Uncle Sam's Air Force (how the girls miss him!). Secondly, we were successful in wearing out our first sponsor???? (She was Mrs. Anderson.) Now Mrs. Manning has the privilege of enjoining our company?????

     Last September we elected the following people to be our officers: president, Marion Ethington; vice-president, Rena Laird; secretary, Monte Ballou; and reporter, Ivan Beede who was replaced by Marilyn Epps. These officers should be commended for the able manner in which they filled their offices.

     The following members of our class taking part in the extra-curricular activities offered by our school are; basketball, Marion Ethington, Montel Ballou, and Dorothy Harvey; glee club, Marilyn Epps, Louise Walker, Rena Laird, Lyle Corll, Arlen Hughes, David Freestone, Betty Kaster, Betty Wicker, Monte Ballou, Max Scott, and Marion Ethington; and band, Rena Laird, Louise Walker, and Arlen Hughes.

     This year Dorothy and Mrs. Anderson were hostesses of parties which we all enjoyed.

     Each of us took an active part in the annual carnival sponsored by K. H. S. Undoubtedly we were a vital factor in its success! By the way, we, with the co-operation of the local farmers, won the corn contest which is always held as a part of our carnival.

     Since we all hope to graduate in '53, we have ordered our class rings and hope to be wearing them by next fall. This will mark the opening of our Junior ear which will, if possible be a bigger and better year than this past one.

     At the beginning of the 1950-51 school year we elected Marvin Leasan (sic), our class president, Jack Ethington our vice-president, Evelyn O'Connell secretary-treasurer, and Janice Cox, reporter.

     On October 13, 1950, Mrs. Treichler, Sue, and Ivan Beede took the Freshman Class to Mt. Ayr where they had a picnic at Lock (sic, should be Loch) Ayr.

     The first and most important thing we did was to eat. We built a fire and roasted marshmallows and wieners. To add to these we had pop and candy. After we had eaten we all played games until time to go into Mt. Ayr to the show.

     This year in our eighth grade class we had six pupils. Other than the Senior Class we were the smallest group upstairs.

     Both the girls' basketball manager, Clara Hogue, and the boys' manager, Marvin Corll, are from our select little group.

     At the beginning of the year we elected the following officers: Ann Meadows, president; Carolyn Galbraith, vice-president; Clara Hogue, secretary-treasurer; and Karen Laird, reporter.

     During September of this year Mrs. Watts took us on a field trip. This we liked very much because we couldn't quite get accustomed to school again after our vacation and this getting outside made us forget school once more.

     On October 26, we had a Hallowe'en party. We played monopoly, canasta, and had refreshments of popcorn, pop, and candy.

     Beginning the school year 1950-51 we had twenty-eight enrolled, eleven seventh graders and seventeen sixth.

     We have organized the "El Amigo Club". The president is Jerry Andrew; vice-president, Larry Campbell and the secretary Diane McDowell. We established "Our Code", rules and regulations for citizenship training, self-disciplinary purposes and corrective criticism.

     During the study of Building Our World in sixth grade history we have made a frieze for each civilization studied, depicting their great works, gifts and contributions.

     Eleven of the pupils are members of the school band.

     We have participated in a number of school activities. Our mixed chorus was the carolers for the Christmas program. Diane McDowell, Elizabeth Corll, Marcia Hanks, Joan Meadows, Joan and Janice Kneedler gave the dance of the "Six Naughty Mice."

     During the school carnival a number of the boys put on some exciting boxing bouts, which the crowd enjoyed very much.

     The boys have organized a junior high basketball team. Although we didn't play many games, we feel our efforts were not in vain, since all the boys in the room will get to play next year.

     We also have two girls, Sandra Virden and Carolyn Davenport, playing on the high school basketball team.

     We began the school year of 1950-51 with ten children reporting to the fourth grade and nine children reporting to the fifth. At Christmas time we lost one girl from the fifth grade -- Sylvia Kay Ryan. She moved to a farm north of Mt. Ayr. We miss her very much.

     There are three fifth graders who played in the band. They were Karen Akers, David Holmes, and Sylvia Ryan.

     The following students had the highest grades in our class at the end of the semester: Elaine Hohneke with a 95.2 average; David Holmes with 94.1; Marie Jensen 95.8; and Eileen Maloney with an average of 95.1

     In February we helped put on the P. T. A. program. We gave a safety play on fire and Billy Hogue tapped danced. We also had the P. T. A. study group meet in our room. Once this year the fourth grade demonstrated a reading class and the fifth grade demonstrated some science experiments on air pressure. We then put on a puppet play about some of the famous Americans. We used the puppets we had made in art class.

     We had several parties in our room on special holidays. Hallowe'en we dressed up in funny costumes. Christmas we exchanged gifts. Valentine Day we exchanged valentines and told our fortunes. We also had several nice birthday treats.

     "Work while you work and play while you play" is the fitting motto of this happy group of eleven boys and ten girls.

     This group had charge of the P. T. A. program in November, ably entertaining the audience with a mock circus.

     

     Their share in the carnival program, December 1, consisted of guitar numbers by Larry Peppmeier and a song by all members of the two grades.

     Tuesday, January 16, the P. T. A. Study Group, and the children's mothers, met in this room for their monthly meeting. Before they began their study lesson, the second and third graders presented a miniature movie - "The Nine Lives of Felix the Cat". Ciphering was also an interesting event of the afternoon.

     Birthday, Hallowe'en, Christmas, Valentine Day, and Easter are all looked forward to and observed with parties.

We have an enrollment of thirty-six in our room, twenty of them ride the school bus each day.

     We are very proud of the fact that Harold Jensen, Jean Meadows, Mary Ann Herren, Dean Deemer, Micky Peppmeier, and Kenneth Baker have been neither absent nor tardy during the first semester.

     When Christmas came several in our room donned costumes to become angels, snowflakes and candy canes for the December P. T. A. program.

     Twenty-two of our mothers were present at the Mothers' Meeting when we explained how we were making the paper mache' puppets for the "Chicken Little" story which we presented for the P. T. A. in January.

     We also made shadow figures for "Pink Pig and the Party" and flannelgraph of "Frosty the Snowman".

     The stories we found more interesting we made cardboard figures for a puppet play, were "The Little Wooden Farmer", "The Jungle Pool", "The Little Old Woman and Her Pig". We illustrated two stories "Epaminondas and His Arnty" and pictures of "Little Black Sambo"

     We know now that we were not meant to be the State Basketball Champions this year.

      We look back now and see our errors and weaknesses. We take pride when we look back and see our many advantages, even though we won but few of our games.

     This year, John White was the finest rebounder in the county, was our tallest boy. John played in every game and finished the season going strong. He was playing to win every second while in the game. John is a three time letter winner and a Junior.

     Paul Stevens was the only other Junior on the squad when the final game was over. Not only was Paul aggressive, but a good ball handler on the court. Paul has steadily improved all season. This is his first letter in basketball, but not the last one he'll earn.

     Marion Ethington is one of the two Sophomore boys on the squad. He is short, fast, and in the game for all he is worth. Marion has won one "K" previous to this year in basketball.
 
 

 
       Monte Ballou is the only other Sophomore boy on the squad. He pitches the basketball in the basket just like pitching baseballs out on the baseball diamond. Monte is a two year veteran and should be one of the best ball players in this area soon.

     Marvin Lesan, one of the five Freshman on the squad, played in his first year of varsity competition this year. "Pete" is quick, aggressive, and a constant threat to our opponents. He has three years of competition left.

     Verlyn Hoff, also a Freshman, earned his first letter this year. This boy is a fine team player, a good ball handler, and a good shot.

     Walter Lipe returned to play with us after attending high school in Maryville, Missouri and Mt. Ayr, Iowa. "Bones" is another Freshman boy winning his first letter and shows promise of being one of the best players in this district. He is a good team player, a constant scorer, a good rebounder, and is a hustler all the time.

     Jack Ethington is another Freshman boy winning his first "K". Jack is the finest dribbler, the best sport, and one of the finest team players we've seen anywhere.

     Ernie Greene is the other member of our team. He too, is a Freshman and like all the rest of the squad will be in there fighting for K. H. S. in the season of 1951-52.

     Yes, we're proud of these nine boys. The past season they've played when great odds were against them, in experience, in height, and score. We're proud that never have they belittled our school. Yes, we are proud that all nine will be back next year.

     If someone had told us before we started practicing that we might go to the state tournament we wouldn't have been surprised. If some wise cookie had said we were to win only one game we'd punched him right on the nose.

     We know the record speaks for itself, but we morally won more games than we lost. Thirteen girls reported for our first practice. Ten finished the season. These ten girls played their hearts out, but we know now if we would have jumped a little higher, broke a little quicker, passed the ball a little straighter, and shot a little more accurate we'd have been in the state playoffs.

     Although we have not won the largest share of our games this year, we know that we have shown good sportsmanship and played fair. We know a good clean team looks good to the public, whether winning or losing. At least we hope so.

     On February 16th, when we wound up the basketball season, four girls have played their last game for K. H. S. These girls were as follows: Marlene Williams, Bonnie George, Janice Meadows, and Nellie Gibson.

     Bonnie George lettered four years in basketball, playing all her four years in high school. Al though (sic) she was the shortest player on our team, Bonnie was always in the game fighting for the ball. She was continually rebounding, getting the ball, and scoring.

     Janice Meadows lettered two years in basketball. She was our tallest girl, being five foot seven. Janice used her height in getting many rebounds during the past season, giving her very best all season.
 
 - 26-
 
 
     Nellie Gibson lettered three years. Nellie was short, but aggressive. She played in almost every game. She was a good ball handler, good dribbler, and did a good job of getting the ball down the court.

     Marlene Williams played four years as a forward and lettered all four years. She is a good team player and a constant scorerer. Like all the other girls, she will be missed very much when the basketball season rolls around again next year.

     We cannot give all the credit of having a good team to the Seniors by any means. We had seven others who also made up the squad. These seven girls will all be back next year and we only hope that they have a much fun next year as the Seniors have had the past four.

     Those on the entire squad include: Marlene Williams, Bonnie George, Nellie Gibson, Janice Meadows, JoAnn Hanks, Dorothy Harvey, Charlotte Kneedler, Mary Hohneke, Sandra Virden, Donna Kaster, and Carolyn Davenport.

     With all the necessary tools and so forth, the Southwestern Construction Company of Centerville moved in on our school ground. And what were they doing? Building a new gym. that we are really proud of.

     But first we much thank the citizens of this community that voted for and appropriated enough money to build the new gym.

     Construction was started early in the fall, and with a few delays, was completed in March 1951. Not only do we have a new gym, but also a shop room and band room. Of course, we couldn't play on the new floor this year, but there are many years to come that will give it good use -- including the sectionals and county tournaments every year.

     Last fall our baseball team won three out of the seven games they played. This is the most impressing record for a K. H. S. baseball team in many years. Since we did not lose a single boy on the team by graduation we fell that our opponents better watch out for several years to come.

     In all, fifteen boys got into action. They were: Denny Duffield, Tom Duffield, Keith Sissel, Paul Stevens, Marion Ethington, Ivan Beede, Lyle Corll, Monte Ballou, David Freestone, John White, Jack Ethington, Verlyn Hoff, Walter Lipe, Marvin Leason (sic), and Darrel Baker. During mid-term two new boys, Kenneth Forbes and John DeVries, moved to K. H. S., and these boys will also strengthen out chances of winning more games.

     Those games we lost were to Gravity (2), Tingley, and Grand River (Sectional). Those we won were Beaconsfield (2) and Benton.

 

     Just for the fun of it, one day Marlene Williams took a look in our magic globe to see where our present faculty would be ten years from now.

     She not only suspected finding Mr. Simoff still on the K. H. S. gym, but found him there. He wasn't coaching this time though. I guess the people thought they had a job more suited to him, yes, local janitor. Marlene says he now weighs 280 pounds, and puffs and pants like a steam engine while he's struggling up and down the stairs. It sure is funny how a fellow changes in ten years. Oh yes, the one thing he says keeps his stamina and vitality up is H-A-D-A-C-O-L. He wouldn't be without it.

     Marlene found Mrs. Treichler too. This grand old lady was sitting in front of a large motel in Portland, Oregon, but it doesn't belong to her. It belongs to Sue and her husband. Mrs. Treichler doesn't have to work now, since she has been getting a large royalty each month from her new book called Forty Demons and Their High School Principal.

     Tom Duffield helped Marlene find Mr. Gregory. You can hardly believe it, but he's an opera singer. Our old professor told them he's always wanted to sing, but never found the time until retiring from the teaching profession in 1953. He says he'll never forget the time he spanked Ernie Greene and Jim Meadows. Mr. Gregory seems to have finally made himself a success financially and socially, so we'll leave him and wish him many many more years of happiness.

      It seems, Marlene ran out of steam and didn't look up Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Watts but we hear that Mrs. Manning is still raising thousands of turkeys and Mrs. Watts is staying in bed until noon every day. This is to make up all the sleep she missed while teaching at old K. H. S.

     On December 18, 1950, Mrs. Watts, Phyllis, Dorothy, Norma, and Janice went to Des Moines to see a style show, held at the Younkers Tea Room. Upon arriving there we were escorted to our reserved table and enjoyed watching the models and seeing the new fashions. After lunch we went shopping, spent all our money, and returned home.

     After four hard weeks of learning and practicing, the Junior's presented "Peck's Bad Boy" on Thursday night November 9, 1950. There was an enormous crowd that made the profits high. Ann Meadows sang between acts and Norma Reed presented the Junior's token of appreciation to their director, Mrs. Anderson. Aside from the fact that a few lines were left out and some extra ones put in, everyone enjoyed it very much.

     The Director was Mrs. Anderson.

     The sketch: Although "Peck's Bad Boy" was always up to some mischief, he helped the friendship between Luella and Clifford Jennings to become closer and he saved his father's shares in oil wells from being taken by Mr. Beaumont.

     The first big event of the year for K. H. S. was the initiation of the Freshman. This was to in someway make them appreciate their being members of our high school.

     On the morning of September 14, 1950, the Freshman first were marched into the science room where they were given necklaces of garlic. They were also given (if they forgot to bring their own) a large onion to chew on every time the bell rang. The assembly didn't smell to sweet all day. We know this was to be a day of suffering for the Freshman, but with the smell not too sweet all day, the rest of us suffered too, but not near as much as they did.

       They all looked very charming in the costumes they were told to wear. These included: Donna Kaster (Lil' Abner), Jack Ethington (Daisy Mae), Marvin Lesan (Bride), Shirley Heggs (Groom), Charlotte Kneedler (Farmer with a gun), Verlyn Hoff (Little Baby), Janice Cox (Maggie), Virgil Epps (Jiggs), Erne Greene (Indian), Jimmie Meadows and Evelyn O'Connell (Dressed in bed clothes), Darrel Baker (Popeye), Caryll Lou (Humphrey), Mary Hohneke (Dressed in overalls and rolled a tire). The day was finished by each one sliding down the fire escape into a box of over-ripe tomatoes.

     Three Freshman were not present at the exercises that night. I guess the day was a little too much for them. Here are a few of the things they did that evening: Egg shampoo (shell and all), pushing an onion with their nose across the assembly, eating worms (really spaghetti), eating bananas out of a pot, and digging money out of a pan of flour with their mouths, with their hands tied behind them.

 

     Around K. H. S., "The Carnival" is a big event. This year it was held on December 1, 1950. Just one week before its presentation the Seniors and Mr. Gregory started its presentation. Nellie Gibson and Bonnie George went with Mr. Gregory to Omaha for prizes. The Seniors didn't work much that week -- on studies, anyhow. Going from town to town in the green Chevrolet, the solicited and received many nice prizes from liberal merchants. Old K. H. S. was a regular madhouse.

     At first we decided not to have a corn contest, but there were a few kind farmers who wanted to contribute, so the last two days, the classes were let out to bring in corn. The Sophomores were the victors. In all we got around 250 bushels.

     Everyone was busy the last day, building stands, running errands, and such, until almost the last hour. At six o'clock, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Gregory served a luscious chicken supper. The stands opened at 7:30. Tickets were given at the door for the door prize, a ten piece knife set, given away later in the evening. After the parents had dug deep in their pockets for change and unnecessarily told their tots to have a good time, they went upstairs to see the grades' program and the boxing bout.

     Then, with a small dance orchestra, a dance was held on (sic) they gym until everyone was completely tuckered out. With a few snacks at the eat stand, everyone went home telling of a good time.

     And then, of course, the most dreaded ordeal of all -- the cleaning up the mess, early the next morning. Only there were many who couldn't or didn't wake up 'till we had the whole job done.

 

     We, the "Squaws" and "Chiefs", of K. H. S. wish to take this opportunity to thank all you loyal followers of our basketball teams this past season. Your loyalty, your morale, and your constant cheering have helped us a great deal more than we can ever express here in words. Our only hope is that you have enjoyed seeing us play as well as we have enjoyed playing for you.

     With Mr. Benson back with us again, twenty-six members are in the band including: Cornets, Rena Laird, Caryll Lou Higday, Marlene Williams, Judy Fugate, Ann Meadows, and Kay Akers; Clarinets: Veryln Hoff, Sandra Virden, Carolyn Davenport, Joan Meadows, Carolyn Galbraith, and Jim Meadows; Flute, Phyllis Meadows; Saxophones, Louise Walker, David Holmes, and Sharon Bierlein; Trombones, Karen Laird, Helen Banks, Janice Meadows, and Arlen Hughes; Baritone, Michael McDowell; French Horn, Jackie Higday; Bass Horn, Bob Kaster; Bass Drum, Elizabeth Corll; Snare Drum, Diane McDowell; and Symobls (sic), Marcia Hanks.

     We participated in many P. T. A. programs this year and gained each in quality.

     We sold magazine for to weeks for a band fund which we are hoping will buy some new slacks to go with our jackets.
