Excerpt from Class of 1908

In the fall term of 1906 there was a change in the scene of activity, and we ascended Prospect and partook of a bountiful watermelon feast. Merely stating the facts (an abundance of watermelons and the late hour we returned) does not justly explain the occasion. Our demonstration of the '08 numerals in chapel was frustrated only by the timely intervention of Custodian Lewis, who prohibited our expulsion of intruding classes. According to the feeling of our social desires, we decided on having another roller-skating party, this time providence preventing by a sunken roof. Nevertheless, we were not content by having our plans broken, so we migrated to the gymnasium, where, amid punch and wafers and various gymnastics, the event was enjoyed by all. On the 23rd of March the seniors entertained us at a Skidoo Fray. Soon afterward we entertained them at a May party. At this event nothing was lacking except the customary presentation of a class token, this item needing no further mention.

During the summer vacation in 1907 class spirit refused to hibernate. Twice during the summer the resident 'o8s met to gether for a merry time. The first time, they gathered at the Central school building and went to Prospect, where they feasted on ice-cream. The second time, they had a hayrack ride and a watermelon feast combined.

Immediately upon our return to K. S. A. C. For the last time we were invited to a party at Katherine Cooper's home, given by the resident '08s to the non-resident members of the class. We met together that night with the idea that it was the first good time of an eventful senior year. A little later the senior girls appeared in chapel wearing blue caps. All during the day the senior girls could easily be distinguished. Another important event of the fall term was the faculty-senior reception held in the gymnasium. The room was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and electric lights. All had a pleasant time and went away with a more friendly feeling than ever toward the Faculty. With the winter term came the annual basket - ball tournament. The boys.
