I HERMAN PEASE ELLEN Kiuiss JOSEPH BENZEE R1TA BOYLE Editor Associate Editor Circulation Manager Advertising Manager 763 8 The editors of the 1941 Compass present with pride Kensington's fourth and finest yearbook. The Compass was, upon its debut in 1938, awarded a blue ribbon which proclaimed it a Hrstfclass publication. Subse' quently The Compass of 1939 was judged the fourth best yearbook entered, while the 1940 Compass captured second place in the Western New York Press Association competition. Thus, an enviable record has been estab' lished, a record that will soon, we hope, culminate in our winning iirst prize, a magnificent cup. This is the goal which the staif of the 1941 Compass has set out to attain. Intent on making The Compass the finest yearbook in New York State, the staff toiled diligently and labored long, lonesome hours, some' times burning the candle not only at both ends but in the middle also! Many of the members collaborated on and helped to stage the Compass Quiz Program which featured Mr. Meegan's drive for subscriptions. Under Miss Belden's and Miss Kammerer's capable guidance the program was so successful that it proved one of the most enjoyable assemblies ever produced at Kensington. The faculty advisors, under the chairmanship of 'Miss Kammerer, offered their sagacious counsel and lent a helping hand to the staff. To them we give our sincere thanks. Mr. Mahoney and his excellent art staff have won the praise of all for their breathtaking, patriotic effects which are so timely. To all who so graciously and unstintingly contributed their invaluf able assistance, the now exhausted editors extend their most hearty appre- ciation. Our literary staff poses for the photographer

Footlightsf' At 2: 30 every other Thursday the warm spirit of the theater Hlled Room 206 when the Dramatic Club convened with Miss Blair as the chief advisor. The Hrst presentation this year was a scene taken from the comedy, First Lady . Rita Tsaconas and Elaine Majchrzak were charming in the leading roles. Next on the boards was our Shakespearean soliloquy contest for which the Misses Frink, Scanlon and Blair were the judges. Irene Drennan and joseph Heavern displayed real talent in their Macbeth speeches. Dorothy Basinski deservedly won the Hrst prize, an attractive marionette made by Robert Knechtelg and Catherine Duggan received the second prize, a copy of the play, Richard III . Our guests left some helpful advice that noticeably improved later activities. While performances of the club continued on schedule, a committee, meeting backstage, selected a comedy, Sauce for the Coslingsu, that was staged April 25 in the auditorium. The cast consisted of Andrea Molnar, Carol Maloney, Doris McGowan, Gretchen Lorke, Edward Garland, Robert Knechtel, and Vincent Galbo. For our own amusement, two delightful sketches, Light and Romantic , with Patricia O'Reilly, Ruth Mitchell, and Lila Capenhurst, and Sasparilla with Rita Rorick, Carol Maloney, Gretchen Lorke, and Corinne Weissleader were staged. These allfstar casts furnished many a merry laugh. The club brought an active season to a close when Dorothy Basinski played her Maurice Evans recordings, soliloquies from Hamlet . Cllicers elected for the year were: president, Catherine Duggan: vice' president, Lila Capenhurstg and Secretary, Edward Carland.
