ton to do greater things. They
selected their sponsors. two teach
ers, Miss Helen Anderson, and
Miss Weeks. and for their presi-
dent, Kenneth Kadow. who helped
greatly in preparing them for the
struggles to come.
The first struggle was in the ma
ture of a contest to sell tickets to
the games of the school. When the
mists of battle had cleared away,
the class Of '26 had to be contented
with second best by close mar
gin.
Several weeks later new class,
called the freshmen battled on ev-
en- terms with the class of '26 for
half a day, only to feel the cold
waters of defeat in the irrigation
ditch. That night the freshmen
were captured and initiated as the
class of '26 had been the year be-
fore but after that the two classes
were very friendly, except when

dience spellbound or else bursting
with applause at will.
Later in the year, one talented
member of the cast Kenneth Sc
rier assisted with another equally
talented member Donald Peter,
won the debating championship of
the high school.
After this task was finished the
class found time for less serious
work in the form of parties. Not
content with the ordinary type of
party the class of '26 originated
such an original party that the
juniors did likewise in their jun
Tor carnival. When the sport OF
roller skating became the fad. the
class led the way with a skating
party.
There were two traditions in
stituted by this class. The idea for
the newspaper not only originated
with this group but the paper was
published thruout the year by the
seniors, except for few editions.
1t was great force in the high
school. and it has become tradi-
tional for the class that is prepar-
ing to leave to publish it during
its last year. Another tradition es-
tablished by this class was the
formation of the Senoritas by the
girls of the class. Helen Moulton
was elected president of this or
ganization. From now on every
fourth year class will have a Sem
oritas club.
The class continued in its march
Of progress, becoming more intel
lectual and dignified every day. In
the spring of 1926 the class wen.
on its sneak into the mountains on
Mill creek. They visited the sspen"
and had lovely time. When they
returned they settled down to work
again and prepared for the time
Of their leaving high school.
The juniors gave them huge
banquet to show their Friendly
spirit and formally wished the
class of '26 farewell. This brings
us to the present time when the
class of '26 is preparing for grad
uation. We could go into great de-
tail on the future of the class but
that would not be history.

In the fall of 1926 when the

seemed to be much impressed with
the fact that they were the Oldest

Realizing also that they must leave

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS

: y D
At last for us, the seniors,
school days are over. These are
the really melancholy days. We
dread to take the next step-the
step that will take us away for
ever from these happiest days Of
our youth. Tears form in our eyes
when we think that we must now
wend our own way thru life. Mere
words cannot express the feeling
that SINNERS thru us-the feeling
that only reminds us that the hour
glass Of time is forever taking us
onward. The present is being con-
tinually changed from reality to
(sweet?) memory.
The first great era of our lives
has passed. Twelve years have
been spent in elementary training
and now we are being turned out
into life to follow its pathway as
well as we are able. our knowledge
being a strong companion and pro-
tectOr to assist us over the rough
places. So far our learning has
been in common but now we have
arrived at the fork in the trail.
We must choose one path of the
many. Some Of us will go on to
higher institutions to specialize in
the line of work we like best. 9th
ers of us will go to work trusting
that our education is now suffi-
Gent to carry us thru life in hap
piness. Whatever we do and where
ever we go it is our duty to the
world to do our best. It is our duty
to give something to the world,
leaving it better than we found it.
Let us think of the sacrifices our
parents and teachers have made
for us and then resolve to make
our lives worth something. That
is the least we can do to show our
appreciation of their cares.
So far we have been for the
most part dependent upon society
for all that we have received. Soon
it will be our turn to do the work
and we must do it well to repay
society for our upkeep. We have
been consumers only but now we
must begin to produce and if we
are to be efficient men and women
we must produce more than we
have consumed.

OPPORTUNITY
(by Ardice Sheppard)

Wy hIuICe OnepparO)
History gives us thousands OF
examples of men who have seized
occasions to accomplish results
that would have been considered
absolutely impossible by people of
less resolute character. Prompt
decision and whole souled action
sweep the world before them.
1t is a poor policy to wait for
the opportunity to come to you.
Seize common occasion and make
1T your great opportunity. Weak
men wait for opportunities while
strong men make them.
The weak minded person always
claims that they might have been
successful but they lacked oppor-
tunity. Every life is full of oppor-
tunities. We have only to seize
them and make use of them. Every
lesson in school is an opportunity.
Every examination is a chance in
life. Every business transaction is
filled with opportunities. There is

class had picnic in the wilds

that the first record of the first
love affairs of the class occurred.
The class continued its progress
until May, 1924 and then left for
another vacation.
In 1924 the class returned to
school in a much more serious
mood than ever before. Realizing
its responsibilities and duties it
selected very capable officers. Mr..
LeFevre for sponsor, and Ken

to show the friendship between the
class of '26 and the seniors, the
class prepared joyous farewell

preparing. This banquet took place
in the spring Of 1925. Altho they
were deeply occupied with this
farewell of the seniors. the class of

In 1922 the class of '26 entered
their new home in high school. full
of enthusiasm to do great deeds
and curiosity to discover wonder
Gus things. They were greatly
awed by the classes around them,
especially the sophomore class,
but they tried not to show it. They
soon settled down to the business
of studying and making life mis-

During their freshman year Miss
Dammon was the sponsor and
Louis Huntington was president.
They had much to do with achieve

For some time the class of '26

were patched up and the two class

The class had also friendly rela-

no chance of friendship. The class

RT S
(by John Soth)

Father Time assisted by the ath-
letes of KRIS, folded ND the sport
calendar of 1885 which was
musty with records of victories
and defeats, amusing incidents and
vital moments and hung up in its
place the calendar of 1926-27
whose very spotlessness seemed to
speak of the future.
But before he could place it with
his records. summary of the year
was secured to place in this last
publication of the class of '26. In
the noble sport of football, Ken
newick made one of the best rec
ords since that sport was estab-
lished here, winning six games
and loosing three. Two of these
victories will remain long in the
memories of the players; the VIC
tory over Pendleton, the only game
Kennewick has won against the
larger towns she has played, and
the victory over Pasco in the last
game of the season. This years
team also avenged the defeats of
last year at the hands of Sunny
side and Hermiston by almost the
same score. The great season COM
menced in a most discouraging
manner and seemed destined to
be a failure. With an average of
about sixteen turning out every
night as compared to twenty-five
or more the year before and most
of these inexperienced in high
school football. The first weeks
of practice were surrounded by
cloud Of gloom which was quickly
dispatched by the Pendleton vic
tory. however.
prospects are good for better
team next year. Martin Hudnall,
star fullback will be back to cap
tain the team and there will be
nine other lettermen back to make
winning team.
The basketball season was not
much OF success as far as games
Won are concerned but one can
always drop back to that old stand
by. "Take defeat with a SMILE"
Our team certainly had a lot of
practice in this as they lost eight
games In row. However, the sea-
SON was success because of our
victory over Prosser in the last
game. Prospects in this Sport are
not so bright. The teams in this
vicinity are Of very high caliber
and altho Kennewick will probably
make better record next year,
she will not reach championship
heights.
The baseball season started out
wrong and continued to be wrong
for three games, then the team
took hitch in the belt or what
ever they do when they get angry
and won the last four games. The
pitching department was fine all
season but they failed to get the
support in fielding and batting un-
til the last few weeks. Kennewick
is assured of a good team mex.

team graduates.
