Freshmen. The Junior class play was the sort that enthralls, Bringing to onlookers fear and dismay, And the cast wore their shoes out, responding to calls. Up High School steps one September day, Our orators could draw tears from a stone, Crowded a troop of one hundred or more And send Burke's shade skulking back to his tomb. Assaulted the gateway and rushed thru the door, Seized the rooms whence the Sophmores had fled, Seniors.

When the first Tiger was issued in De- cember. 1910, it was a rather uncertain quantity, but now after passing itsksecond year of successful publication, it has become an essential and prominent feature of high school life. Last year a high school magazine was more of an experiment than any thing else. The question was: whether the students would support it, financially and morally, and whether the merchants and towns people would lend their aid, in order to make it a success. While the Tiger last year was not a howling success, or did not set the world afire, yet it gave us the start and impetus for a successful year. This year we surpassed all expectations. We put out a cheaper and better magazine, full of good live material.

BASKETBALL Season of 1911-12.

Our first season of organized basket ball—the team has done only moderately well, but in two games—Monmouth at Monmouth. and Abingdon at Kewanee—they played ex- ceptionally good ball for a new team. Though lacking experience at the outset, and starting late because of our remarkable football successes, the boys worked well to mid- season. The result was a splendid victory over the fast Monmouth quintette on their own floor 38-24 and the one- sided score of 30-12 registered against Aledo High. Gales- burg's veteran team were our next visitors and the first to beat us. Their experience and team play gave them a decided advantage, but the K. boys showed weak spirit in allowing G. S. H. to close with a ten point lead, 30-20. Canton's team next took us into camp 21-18. Individual backbone and persistent team organization would not have allowed these two defeats to have had so demoralizing an effect. Without serious practice the boys met Abingdon High twice, each home team winning. For another season if the boys of K. H. S. want basketball, it will be organized basketball.
