was 3 great success and was I'm
mensely enjoyed By all except posi-
bly, THO senior youths who reported
vague stories OF ghosts on the way
home.
On the night of March 18th an,;
the following day there was d scene
+. OF great excitement for the senior
class. On the said night OF March 18th
a senior pennant was placed on the
Z flagstaff OF the school ard surround
ing sidewalks were covered with the
numerals OF the class of 1911 By
1 whom il was not known and is not
known TO the present day- The boys
OF the senior class were taken TO a
certain office on Lucas Avenue AMI
questioned by the chief OF police. At
ter questioning each member OF the
class, he knew no more than he did
al the beginning SO he said that lie

may here state my own opinion aud
that of the senior class. l viii say

more apt to confess TO q high school

what do civil authorities know of
class spirit and class rivalry? And
! what IS a class without a class spiri.
Had this matter been settled IN
school, by school authorities, it would
not have thrown the wrong light on
the matter and would not have been
a blot on our otherwise happy and
successful high school course.
The last social event of the class
was hay rack party TO the home of
Miss Martha Philip on Thursday, MAY
IS. While it was the last it was not
the least in either the good time en-
joyed or the duration OF time. NJ.
Rogers was the chaperone and he
proved himself to be such an efficient
one that we regretted we could have
no more parties so as 10 have him
again. Although the hour was late
when We reached home. we were all
on hand in the morning declaring
that it was the greatest party we had
ever had
I Will here mention that the girls
of the class have displayed athletic
ability. The class OF 1911 has won the
championship in the girls basket bah
league for four consecutive years
The boys basket ball team won the
championship OF the school the only
year in which there has been boys
league. The class of 1911 has also
won the interstate track meets of
1910 and 1911
We are very proud Of the fact that
the manager of the Fourth Annual
Tri-State meet is member of the
class OF 1911. Through his Herculean
efforts the meet was the greatest pos
sible success and will stand as
mark for others TO strive to reach
The last few weeks have been
strenuous for the Seniors The cram
ming process has been carried out to
perfection, the Comment room. the
private office of Spike and Engs
being the favorite place
Now when we have completed our
high school course we look back with
fond memories of the past four years
and I am sure, whatever may be our
success in life We viii consider il
largely due to this dear old school
where we have received our founda-
ton. We now go forth in life 10
make our marks, to follow our motto,
Aim at a Certain End" and let us
hope that that end to which we aim
shall be SO high that we will be
credit and honor to K. H. S.
In behalf of the class of 1911, l
wish TO thank DR.. Reid and the facul-
ty for their patience and many kind
nesses of the past four years.
