Photo gallery: “The Children’s Hour”
Several KHS students performed in the play “The Children’s Hour,” this past week. In this drama, two longtime friends run a boarding school for girls. One misunderstood child starts lies and rumors in attempt to bring down her teachers. The cast is all female, besides two members. “I think that this is the best play that I’ve ever been in,” Olivia Squires, senior, said. “At first getting into character was really weird. I had to go from very happy to defeated and broken so fast. Learning how to do that and learning how to draw from my own experiences and emotions was really hard. Once the actual show came together it was like you can separate yourself from the character a bit more.”

"A friend of mine's son was sick, and we knew he wasn't going to make it. I made a handful of these little smiles, [and gave it to the family.] I said maybe you can hold on to [them] until you get your smile back. [The family] said 'it would be very selfish if I didn't tell you to do this for other people.'"
