The K. H. S. track team were defeated in the triangle meet, Friday, April 22. Mt. Ayr took first place, Lamoni second, and Kellerton third. Carrol Jackson took first place in pole vault and shot put, and [Leroy] Brown and [R. F.] Watson took second and third in the high and low hurdles. Our team's weakest point was due to the lack of racers. A 1-8 mile track has been laid out on the school ground and with some good practice, it is hoped that we will make a better showing at the meet May 7. The winners in the different events are as follows:

The officials were: Peasley, timer; Jones, starter; Cosner, referee; McAninch, clerk; Gas and Beard, scorekeepers; Williamson and Evans, judges: Wall, announcer.

The Juniors and the faculty of the K. H. S entertained the Seniors at a reception in the Domestic art rooms Friday evening, April 29. The Seniors arrived at seven o'clock and after spending a pleasant half hour in the grammar room, they were conducted downstairs. Here they found two Junior girls awaiting them with a rose for each Senior. The room and tables were elaborately decorated with the Senior class colors, maroon and old gold. The dinner consisted of five courses:

The dinner was excellent and was very much appreciated by the Seniors. Velma Bales, Hazel Davis, Mildred Jackson, Dora and Donna Swigart, Hazel Vance, Florence Ballou and Helen Whitson served as waitresses. Between courses, toasts were given on the different letters of the word "Junior." Mr. Peasley acted as toastmaster, followed by Rothmer Bales, president of the Senior class, Earl Siple, Vera Lutz, Naomi Cronn and Mr. Cosner.

After dinner, a very good program was given by the Juniors in the assembly room. The program was as follows:

   Vocal solo - "The Japanese Sandman," Doris Shrvock.

   Play - "Pa's New Housekeeper."

   Vocal solo - "When I Meet My Love at Twilight," Mrs. Grogan.

After the program everyone departed to their homes declaring the evening very well spent. The Seniors, one and all, desire to thank the Juniors and members of the Faculty for the splendid way in which we were entertained.

Ib Tuesday, April 26, the Seniors gave the annual program which is expected of the Seniors by the remainder of the students. The program was nicely given in spite of the fact that their little hearts kept going pit-a-pat rather furiously and their knees seemed rather weak. The program was as follows:

   "Silver Stream" - Pauline Stetzler.

   President's Proclamation - Rothmer Bales.

   Class Lamentations - Lawrence ____.

   Class Poem - Vern [Vera Lutz?].

   Class Prophecy - Ferne Higday.

   Declaration of Independence - Clifford Allen.

   Tribute to the Rose - Leo French.

   Class History - Jamie Meadows.

   Vocal Solo, "The Maid and the Rose" - Lucille Hedges.

The audience was very quiet and attentive and seemed to appreciate the program given. The visitors present were Mrs. Byers, Mrs. McCullough, Mrs. S. B. Hedges, and Mrs. Sidwell.

On Wednesday, April 27, the K. H. S. Seniors, Sophomores and Freshman were pleasantly surprised by the juniors appearing before them with a tub full of popcorn balls and a large amount of home made candy. The stage was very nicely decorated and the lower grades were allowed to come upstairs for the sale. Carrol Jackson and Lloyd Gorman acted as auctioneers with Kermit [Heinish] and Weldon [Meadows] as clerks. The affair was handled in a very business like manner and by the rapid sale of the pop corn and candy, the auctioneers' ability were well proven. The proceeds of the sale amounted to about fourteen dollars. The Junior girls are certainly to be complimented concerning their skill in the art of candy making.
