Slowly, the anchor is weighed, the sails hoisted, and the vessels of the seniors depart from the dock. Ahead lie the turbulent waters of the Worldg behind is the calm harbor of their youth. Sadly, they wave farewell to oihcers along the shore. It was their untiring instrucf tion that built the sturdy hulls for this voyage. Former shipmates exchange cries of encourage' ment as each drifts out into a separate channel. What adventures will be recorded in their logs? What new stars will pilot their course? Their ports lie beyond the sundrenched Sea of the Future. KHS

I gkafurizzq The class bell rings, the door is shut, and everything is quiet. We think again, Ah me, alack, why do I ever try it? In every room in Kensington, precisely on the dot, The teacher knows instinctively if we're preparedgor not. In our midst at Kensington, We have two ladies fair, Familiar with the theatre- Miss Strickland and Miss Blair. Dear student, have you ever seen fAnd more than once at that,j The look on Mr. Pinkow's face When Hillman's horn goes flat? If all your creditors threaten to sue, And legal matters worry youg It's Mr. Rosettie you should see, He'll give advice without a fee. Said Miss Maloney to her boys, There's nothing quite so much annoys, And looks disgraceful to the eye, As a junior boy without a tie. Our own Miss Heacock in 406 Knows every little freshman's tricks. She patiently teaches the tiny tots, To keep their homework free from blots. To decline, to conjugate, to parse, Is really rather fun, Until Mr. Gleason finds Our homework isn't done. She gives him the author, the period, the work That's Miss Curran speaking. And into Glen Howard's solid skull, A little Lit. comes leaking. For Messrs. Smith and Chassin We great devotion feel, Although they cut our movie By leaving out a reel! A sight that every eye did please, Was our geisha girls-so Japanese With mincing steps and waving fans, They carried out Miss Otte's plans. For dates and places, The Olympic races, The life of Cook, Or a history book, For fact and fiction, Or a matter of diction, If you want to be wiser, See Miss Hartman and Miss We don't mind, The daily grind. For Mr. Millard We study hard. With Ivlr. Sauter It's art we slaughter. For Miss Link We have to think. With Miss Haley We learn daily. For Miss Lehde We shorthand read. With Mrs. Heaps No student peeps. Oh, we don't mind The daily grind- fhe Jlacuffy Keiser. The only thing we'd like to knowf What makes that clock so slow? 13
