Dedication

We, the students of the Senior Class, are dedicating this 1963 Hi-Lites to the Benedictine Sisters. In our four years in high school, they have shown us much encouragement and understanding. They have not only given us much enlightenment through their teaching, but have aided us greatly with our outside activities.

Just as the first Benedictine Sisters, arriving in Kansas in 1863, established a firm foundation for livelihood so also have you estab- lished in our minds a firm foundation upon which we may base our morals and standards of living.

Therefore, we proudly dedicate this volume of the Hi-Lites to the Benedictine Sisters of the past, present, and future, and we hope that they will continue to find Kelly a worthy place in which to carry on their traditions of high quality.

Seive Us With A Smile

All day long the students of Kelly High School and Grade School are served by six friend- ly people in a variety of ways.

Virgil Altenhofen and Quentin Engelken, our faithful bus drivers, have served in this post since bus transportation was inaugurated in September of 1960.

At dinner time,two cheerful faces are always on hand to greet us. Mrs. Alphonse Haverkamp and Mrs. Lawrence Levert are our "Master Chefs." Mrs. Haverkamp is in her eighth year of cook- ing for us, while this is Mrs. Levert's second year.

Mr. Stallbaumer, our janitor, has been helping us the past two years, while Mr. Nolte as-

sists him in various duties. Yes, everyone of these individusis "Serve Us With a Smile," daily.

Keeping in mind their motto, "Without Labor Nothing Prospers," the Juniors have been a class of busy bees this year. Besides keeping up with all class assignments, they worked intently on many extra-curricular activities. Among these

were the magazine campaign, skating

David assemblies such as Speech and Amer- Niehues Enneking Huerter ican Education Week; and they were also in charge of the school paper,

Mr. Joseph Dooley, the moderator of the smallest class in high school, knows that quality is more important than quanity.

It seems that Latin and geometry gave the sophomores the most difficulty, but they also enjoyed the luxury of driving a new 1963 Chevolet. On the whole,all agreed that each subject has its rough and smooth spots just as the roads which they have trav- eled in the Drivers' Education car.

A former classmate, Gerald Rottinghaus, was the reason for much class correspon- dence to St. John's seminary.

Mr. Dooley explains . ge the method of parlia- 5 mentary procedure to Ah aw, class officers, John _ Kuhlman, president;Con- } nie Haverkamp, vice- president; and Mary Jo Vondemkamp, secretary- treasurer.

Freshman officers, Alice Hunninghake, president; Joseph Hutfles, vice-president; and Carol Rottinghaus, secretary-treasurer; are seen entering Kelly High with high hopes for the forthcoming years.

The "Class of 66" was inaugerated as Freshmen of Kelly High at an Orientation Party given them by the Seniors, Friday evening Sept. 1). The foremost problems of the "Freshies" were getting used to having different classes, in different rooms, with different teachers, and remembering to give upper classmen the first place.

The Freshmen Class of 15 students was a prime factor responsible for Kelly High School's record enrollment of this year. Sister Avila was class sponsor.

A southern atmosphere was the setting for "Carolina Moon," the theme for the 1962 Junior- Senior Prom held Sunday evening, May 6.

The gymnasium was flanked at each end by a southern patio scene. Silhouettes of dancing Carolina maidens and gentlemen were the attrac- tions on the north and south walls.

The theme was written on a green embank- ment just below the stage. On the wall to the back of the stage was a silverwinking, crescent moon on a multi-hued blue background.

The Melody Makers played the theme while Betty Hutfles and her escort led the’ grand march through a garden entrance of pink and silver streamers.
