I ll 1 fl I if , , 91 FOREWCRD With steadfast determination and unity of purpose, the allied nations have dedicated themselves to preserve their national existence as tree peoples: . . . to safeguard the principles of truth and justice upon which they have founded their way of living. We realize that a durable and lasting peace must have a firm foundation, and that the kind of peace We want can be achieved only if we make an effort to understand the problems, ideas and customs of our fellow allies. The theme of the 1944 Compass will endeavor to show how the students of Kensington High School are preparing to share in the responsibility of winning the peace to come by learning to understand the United Nations. This issue of the Compass will emphasize in particular the United States, the British Empire, China, and Russia. 1 4 ifllh K i A l '-.

That distance will be covered in due time-have no fear of that. But it will be tough and it will be costly. Thus spoke the President of the United States on Iune 5th to the American nation. On Iune 6, 1944, the news flashed around the world that the long awaited and dreaded invasion was underway. For one brief day in our existence, time stood still as we listened to bulletin after bulletin describing the land- ings of our fighting men along the coast of northwestern France and Holland. We realized the significance of D Day, and we understood its importance. Yes, it meant that the turning point in the war was at hand, but something more-our fathers, brothers and friends were on those beach-heads fighting -fighting for us. The very thought of the magnitude of this undertaking, the final outcome of the invasion, its success or failure, makes us indeed feel very humble. On this day, the Allied Nations have taken another step toward liberating the enslaved peoples of the earth. It is with deepest humility then, that We pray for the safety of all the men in the Allied Forces, and particularly those who are at present fighting on the new European battle-front. May their arduous task be blessed with victory, and God willing, may that victory come soon. tttttkkttitt DEDICATION When the American youth needed skillful guidance- they answered the call. As educators. their unswerving faith in our abilities, their patience, devotion, and invalu- able advice, stand as beacons of light in a free America. When our country called-they again answered an urgent plea. Knowing that we are threatened by wilful aggressors, they now contribute their unfailing efforts in the protection of the rights and liberties that they had once taught in American schools. They stand as staunch supporters of the four fundamen- tals of democracy . . . freedom of speech and expres- sion . . . freedom of every person to worship God in his way . . . freedom from fear . . . freedom from want. It is indeed an honor for us, the Graduating Class of 1944. to dedicate this Compass to those of our faculty now serv- ing in the armed forces. MfSgt Iames Cotter Capt. Anne Mcllhenney P.F.C.

Her effi- ciency and excellent work during her seven years spent here, should be an inspiration to all future sec- retaries graduating from Kensington. We deeply regret her leaving at this time, but wish her much success in her new position. OUR FACULTY It is not alone in the classrooms that we see and become acquainted with our faculty. No mat- ter what the activity, the teachers are always willing to cooperate and to show their interest in school affairs. They are on hand to cheer our teams to victory, they sponsor clubs, arrange assembly programs, and help in the production of our yearbook. To them, our sincere thanks for their enthusiastic interest.

Wieberg Y3fC Iean Simon From All Fronts ' From the allied fronts throughout the world, letters l from our servicemen arrive daily at Kensington. 1 These letters contain colorful information and many interesting comments about the country where the sender is stationed. From these letters, we have chosen the portions which we believe will be of .- greatest interest to all Kensingtonians. Australia: It took 20 days for our V mail letter to reach Private Mason Blaich tClass of '40J some- where in Australia . He arrived there last Easter Sunday. Of the Australians, Mason writes: Aside from driving on the left side of the road, they act and talk like most Americans . . . He thinks that the people are picking up many American ways from the soldiers stationedxthere and believes this will result in the friendliest post-war relations. North Africa: Private Harold V. McHugh tClass of '39l has been in North Africa for six- teen months + and doesn't like it! There is very little I can say that would be complimen- tary to the country . . . I have seen a great deal of North Africa and a little of Europe and I wouldn't trade it all for just one little hamlet in the United States. For those who think Africa is always hot, Harold adds, We had about ten snowfalls this past winter. New Guinea: F or more than half of his year in the Army, Corporal Ted Majewski tClass of '42l has been overseas and has been in Australia, New Guinea, and New Britain. Now stationed in New Guinea. he writes that it is a much more civilized place than he had ex- pected, but adds: lt's quite muddy here and does not resemble the South Sea Islands of Dorothy Lamour pictures. The armed forces have performed an excellent task in carving civilization from the jungle. There are excellent roads, harbors, theatres, hospitals, and air fields in places that were recently dense undergrowthf' Ted wrote that while in New Britain he met Corporal Elmer Mayer of the Marine Corps and they spent. a few evenings rerninis- cing about Kensington . . . despite a few visits by Tojo. Of the war, Ted says: I realize what a great task the United Nations armed forces are performing. I have worked beside our Australian, Dutch, Norwegian, and Chinese allies. Close cooperation is shown by all because of our common aim, to win the war. England: One of many Kensington boys stationed in Eng- land, Corporal Paul Lesswing Cclass of '4ll, has had an oppor- . tunity to visit many interesting places. I have been in London QXFQ several times and have visited the Tower of London, we stay f in billets provided at a very reasonable rate to U. S. service men and women. The Red Cross is doing a grand job over here. They will plan tours, provide eating facilities, and have very good meals, at low cost, for service men. Paul finds the weather in England much like that of Buffalo in winter, says it is generally damp most of the time, and adds that he will take Buffalo anytime, no matter what kind of weather they have. He finds the scenery in England and Scotland very beautiful. Alaska: P.F.C. George Redder tClass of '4l7 is stationed at Fort Richardson, near Anchorage, one of the largest cities in Alaska. From there he writes: I have enjoyed Alaska very much. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. This is our last frontier and for those that have the energy and ambition, there are still fortunes to be made. I believe that after the war many of the soldiers now stationed here will, if possible, return and settle down. I would like to try my luck at fur farming. 11 H 4 1' i Z- 4 2 I E 'dp IP tl 'L' 'J 4 'lll P. F. C.

It was a surprise, for neither of us knew the other was in the same division. It has been almost two years since we left the States and it would be good to see everyone a am. ' gP.F.C. Robert Wilcox, Class of 1940, writes from the Island of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands, about how much the Ken Knapsack has meant to servicemen stationed far from home. P.F.C. Herbert Kuhn, 1940's track star, sent us a two page V mail from England. We are enjoying very fine spring weather here which is giving us a chance to plant a small garden: onions. carrots, lettuce. It's a strange experience to grope one's way around a blackedout town, but we're used to it now. All the stories of England's hardships are true . . . There is nothing to be bought in the stores that isn't rationed, except fish and chips. P.F.C. Bill Schall, with the Marines in the South Pacific, informs us that he and Bill Seel- bach have been lucky in being stationed near each other for some time and have spent many hours reminiscing about school days at Ken. He adds: I have also met Elmer Mayer over here and now I understand that Bill Pfeiffer is stationed near us. Corporal Ray Pringle, who has been in the Italian campaign, writes: At present, I am in the hospital. Yesterday, Irving Berlin entertained us and sang several of his favorite songs. Good luck, Ray. All your friends at Kensington hope you will soon be well again. Corporal Russell Zorn, also hospitalized, describes his accident: Our jeep was struck by a five ton truck and we turned over five times. I was knocked out and did not come to until the next day. After convalescing, he plans to spend his furlough in London. Dick Slominski, Q. M. 3,fC in the U. S. Navy, tells us: At present, I am somewhere in the Mediterranean. The ship I am on is a destroyer and, in my opinion, a very good ship . . . Among some of the places I have seen are the Rock of Gibraltar, Mt. Vesuvius, the Isle of Caprii, and the city of Naples. They are places that I'll never forget. Richard Reich, somewhere in the Pacific, writes that he has been training for jungle com- bat which consists of hardy Ranger or Commando tactics and strenuous drills and exer- cises. He adds: Your Ken Knapsack is wonderful. How about more of it? Pvt. Harold Greenman was enthusiastic about the Solomon Islands! He says: I was in Fiji for awhile and I certainly enjoyed my stay there. There were plenty of coconuts, bananas, and wild oranges growing there. Q Sergeant Bill Graser, another of the many Ken boys stationed in England, told us: I've had occasion to visit London . . . the people of that city have more courage and spirit than one can imagine to withstand the Nazi blitzes.

Tom was home for a well-earned rest after seeing action with the Marines in the South Pacific. P.F.C. Raymond Quackenbush and his brother, Sf 1C Guilford Quackenbush pose for our cameraman. Ray is a veteran of Guadalcanal. SfSqt. Bill Schneider and AvfC Gerald Gravius reminisced over old times. Bill was home after months of com- bat duty in the South Pacific. Gerry will soon be commissioned an Ensign in the Naval Air Corps. Third Row: Gunner's Mate Marvin Kiesling congratulates Freshman Harry Bosworth after the Armistice Day Pro- gram.

We suspect one of the well-known Sauter jokes produced those grins. Second Row: Seaman Howard Basher and Midshipman Frank Sturm look over the service men's register. Frank spoke at an assembly program about his experiences in the Mediterranean theatre ot war. Lt. Frank Sarver, Class of 1942, looks at our service flag. Ensign Howard Strauss visited Kensington shortly after receiving his commission. He is now on duty somewhere in the Pacific. First Row: Pvts. Adam Vogel and Norm Castine listen to Mr. Chassin predict who will win the game. It seemed natural to have Norm, one of Ken's outstanding athletes,back in the gym again. Pvt. Harry Morris, Charles Dingboom and Seaman George D'addario talk things over. Chuck left Kensington in Ianuary to join the U. S. Marine Corps. 26 0 S3 TOGETHER WE WORK THE ARMY AIR CORPS SPEAKS On March lst, Lieutenant O'Hanlon, represent- ing the United States Army Air Corps. visited Kensington. At a special assembly. he addressed the boys between 16 and 18 years oi age who were interested in that branch of service. Lieu- tenant O'Hanlon explained the advantages ot the Air Corps, the training altered. the promotional opportunities, and urged all the boys whose qual- ifications permitted to make application lor ad- mission to this service. After his speech, he answered individual questions and helped the boys who had already decided to make out their applications. THE NAVY V-5 PROGRAM Congratulations to Charles Ratzel, Glen Treich- ler, and Iohn Wiedemer. who met all the rigorous qualifications and passed all the tests for admis- sion to the Navy V-5 training program. Among last year's graduates who qualified for this branch of the Navy were Donald Flach and Richard Bal- bierz. AvfCadet Gerald Gravius. Class of 1942. is nearing the completion oi his V-5 training and will be commissioned an Ensign. Good luck to all these boys. STUDENT WAR ACTIVITIES Entering into war activities with their usual ,zeal and enthusiasm, Kensington students have continued their patriotic work again this year. Knitting for the Red Cross, rolling bandages. serving as nurses' aides, and helping at USO centers are some of the volunteer services rendered by Kensington's daughters. Our boys have also done their share as air raid war- dens, firemen, and airplane spotters. Both boys and girls have been blood donors. During and after hours, classes were held to prepare students for vital war work. For two hours each day, Miss Davis instructed class in blueprint reading and tracing. Mr. A1bing's aeronautics class studied such topics as elementary navigation, meteorology, and aerodynarnics. 28 FOR VICTORY AMERICANISM ESSAY CONTEST Today's Challenge to Young Americans was the topic selected for this year's essay contest sponsored by the American Legion and the But- falo Evening News. This topic was particularly appropriate since the era in which we live olters numerous challenges and opportunities to Ameri- can youth to shoulder the responsibilities pre- sented to them. Two Kensingtonians. Patricia Maricle, a member oi the graduating class. and Alvin Felix. a Iunior. were awarded Honorable Mention for the essays they submitted in this contest. RADIO-PHYSICS Mr. Haynes' radio physics classes are helping to prepare a few ol Uncle Sam's future Signal Corps men. Many ol the boys learned the com- plicated process oi constructing radio sets. audio- oscillators. amplifiers. and modulators. Some new equipment was recently acquired by the Science department which has greatly added to the in- terest of studying radio physics. RUSSIAN WAR RELIEF KITS When the call came to aid our gallant Russian allies by contributing articles to fill relief kits, the students at Kensington eagerly responded. Upon looking in any of the study or home rooms, one could see piles of soap, sugar, canned milk, gloves, towels, and other non-perishable goods. Many students volunteered their services in packing the kits after school and during their study periods. Each room filled at least one kit: many rooms filled several and a total of 48 boxes were sent to the Russian War Relief Headquarters. 29 l 4 Bond and Stamp Sales These figures indicate the maturity value of the War Bonds sold by the tive highest rooms: Maturity Room Value 206 ........... ..............

The remainder of the Class of 1944 will enter the fields of industry, finance, professional, and civic life well prepared to meet their exacting obligations and particularly well equipped to take advan- tage oi the golden opportunities that await your invasion of all phases of human activity so abundantly prevalent in our great land of liberty and freedom. It is now your duty to invade the hearts of all men through your example as educated Americans who have acquired a knowledge of the things that have made men and nations great. By yourq appreciation, culture, tolerance, and sympathetic understanding. you will reflect the virtues that you have acquired as inspirations for your fellowmen. The world looks to you for leadership. In your hands is the future destiny of our great nation. Your respect for law and authori- ty, your sacred concept of the home, your admiration for truth, your tolerance and your loyalty and love of God and country are your weapons for the invasion. Guard them well so that in your tomor- rows it never can be said that you failed to value your great heri- tage or to protect the traditions of freedom and justice that have made our land the beacon of hope to the oppressed. I Truly your friend, Iune 6, 1944 X, Auamcron Tonight, on the eve of graduation, we find that the inevitable time has at last arrived, the time when we must reluctantly bid, farewell to all that is Kensington. Mere words will never express the grateful feeling in our hearts for all that has been done to make fi A 4 4 4 QUDI70 .um t N i N fr ir Q our brief four years of high school happy and profitable. To Mr. McDonnell for his sympathetic understanding and expert guidance through trials we encountered, we express our most heart- felt thanks: and to Mr. Chassin, to- whom we are deeply indebted for the kindly consideration and help so needed by us in the trying, years between youth and adulthood, are we equally grateful. With deep regret, we must also bid farewell to the ever helpful faculty, whose assistance will prove indispensable in the future. Only with full maturity shall we be able to understand the hard- ships they have undergone in our behalf. But the past, except in our own thoughts, is dead and it is the future, troubled and uncertain, into which we must now enter. Let us not be too disturbed by the chaotic world about us, for we have been prepared to meet the problems which confront us. The scope of vocational activity and opportunity today has narrowed consid- erably, but even for this we have been made ready. A great number of us will be called for duty with the armed forces of our country to fight for all the ideals embodied in the word, America: others will undertake the arduous task of producing war materials in the nation's great industrial centers, to help end this death struggle as soon as possible. Still others of us will enter college to increase our own individual capacities, so that we may fill worthy places in the post-war world. Very often shall be turn back the pages of the past and relive the unforgettable years we have spent at Kensington.

Class Will We the bobby-sock brigade and the bow-tie boys of Ken Hi with the classy cravats and loud loafers, being in a blank mood, do consign these, our last unrationed possessions, to the graduating class of 1945. FIRST: The Junior class must carry on the traditions of us, their predecessors, by singing Mairzy Doats, preparing orange juice at the lunch tables, depositing tableware in the local rubbish, and loitering in the halls. SECOND: The Iuniors must reform the attitude of the Iunior boys at the prom, conciliate cafeteria monitors, bring apples for the teachers, and put up with Iimmy Myers' jokes as well as with quarterly tests. THIRD: If the above provisions are faithfully carried out, we remorsefully bequeath the fol- lowing to the Iunior Class: Glen Treichler's curling iron to Ralph Race Shirley Cray's quiet air of dignity to Lorraine Carl Tilly Miller's contagious smile to Mary lane Nash.

Mairzy Doats! Now here is a ditty That's not very witty Mr. Shakespeare would never approve. For though he's first rate And verily great Poor William was not in the Groove. It's hard to remember What began that September But to the best of our knowledge South American, Chuck Ratzel. Here's what happened 'fore college. in the 1942 Compass play? Do. you remember that dashing From the towering heights of the third and fourth stories to the stately serenity of the main floor, in four short but happy years. One thousand strong, we crossed the threshold of Kensington and entered into what were to prove the happiest years of our lives. Almost immediately our athletic prowess was brought to the attention of the entire student body as Iohn Lock and Warren Langrnan earned their major in football and cross country respectively. Many other of Miss Iohnson's sturdies were to be found busily engaged in developing their athletic talents, which were to stand them in good stead in the years to come. For the First Time -yes, for the first time we conquered the hitherto undefeated Bennett football team by the overwhelming score of two to nothiag, as we, the Freshmen. cheered the team wildly on to victory. As we look back upon those young recruits, who among us would have thought that 5'2 Bob McCarthy was destined to become the hero of the basketball court? With the arrival of the annual Hal1owe'en party, Sally Munger. to the amazement of all. let down her fabulous tresses. which to the present day, can still be seen in the reputed and selfsame position. My-how times have changed . . . l From the then current Hut Sut Song to the present rage, Mairzy Doats . and horrors! when we think of the time the girls had the nerve to sport those colorful knee-socks, which were the latest thing at the time. , t P Then came the Freshmen boys' time to shine, as Miss Iohnson proudly presented her 306 proteges Earle McHugh, Vincent Scamurra, Iames Mathis, in the yearly Armistice Day program. Honor again came to Kensington and to our class when Miss Heacock's Freshman Science Club received a trophy for their play on fire prevention. The . able cast included Mary Gelsinger, Earle McHugh, Eleanor Drew. Iune Ulrich, Donald Nagle and Nelson Hor- nung. Considerable praise was also bestowed upon Warren Robinson for his excellent model of an intricate water works system. Rounding out a memorable year, Helen Sikorski, with the advent of Iune, came to the fore by receiv- ing the Freshman Attainment Medal for scholastic excellence. Then began our true advancement, for as sophomores, there was actually someone be- neath us. With high spirits and optimism. we entered in upon a new schedule of classes. Offering a humorous touch to the girl's annual water carnival, Iune Finkbeiner played dunce and surprised everyone by releasing live Do you remember the time when Dorothy Lamour visited Kensington? 72 ducks. This performance takes on special sig- nificance when we realize it was Miss Anne Mc- Illhenney's final presentation at Kensington before her departure to join the Women's-,Army Corps. Many new athletes came to the foreground during the year, among whom were Glen Treichler in basketball, Chuck Matthews, Bill Schultz, and lim Redder in swimming and Ioe Willisegger in base- ball. Climaxing our athletic attainments was Ron Holmwood, who earned a berth on the All-High Track team. December 7, 1941-This was the -day that was to change our lives and trends of thought entirely. On the following day there was sudden stillness in the formerly boisterous cafeteria and study halls, as the announcement that we were now at war came over the public address system. No one can forget this momentous occasion which was to stamp an indelible mark on the mind of every Kensingtonian. From this time on, we noticed a marked decrease in the number of boys to be seen about the school: then came the beginning of air-raid drills and other such practices that seemed to bring the war home. To our fellow students and teachers and to all the boys in service-our hats off to you! , Even with notable changes, we still maintained an enviable scholastic record with Vilma Lavetti as our leader. After two years behind the plow, and with slacks now legally in vogue Cwe never could explain their disappearance so soon after they were introduced? we were now upper class- men! Gone forever was that shy. hesitant step and quiet manner and even more important -gone were the men and ice cream suckers! One of our newly-acquiredprivileges was first assemblies. At the most important of these, the school was presented with the first Iapanese flag captured on Guadalcanal by our invading forces. We received this for winning a nation-wide War Bond Contest sponsored by Hobby Lobby. The M-C of this program, Dave Elman, officially made the presentation. We succeeded in selling over a quarter of a million Of course you remember the President and Vice President of the lunior Class. Tip Les- lie and Betty Szymanski. dollars worth of bonds surpcssing even the largest industrial organizations in the country. To add to this triumph, He-'try Hearn, our literary artist, won the annual Americanism Essay Contest. As a reward 'or his efforts, he received an autographed copy of Capt. Eddie Rickenbacher's book, Seven Came Through . Supplementing these distinctions, we found Glenn Treichler, Ronnie Holmwood, and Dick Modelski capturing All-High honors in track. Others to achieve athletic honors were Ed Balicki and Iohnny Allen. both now in the Navy, Chuck Ratzel, Curt Hibbard, Sherwood Szen, Bob Dunford, Don Fiegel, Roger Strauss, and Marine Derwyn Flynn. Do you remember the first time you saw the Christmas Pageant in 1940? Mg., Who will ever be able to forget our super drama.

Cast as his love- lorn sister was Betty tPhyllisJ Horn. with her suitors aptly portrayed by Iarnes tLymanl Batt, definitely a hi lv pressure insurance salesman, and suave Dave Duttweiler as the subtle lover. Other dramatic stars who lent their talents to the success of the per- formance were Tillie Miller, Margie Humelbuehler, Arlene Hansen, and Father, Warren Robinson. Climaxing our eventful Iunior year was our prom in the gymnasium, which had been elaborately decorated by a gallant crew of sturdy ? Iunior boys with lack Wiedimer, precariously perched on the high ladder. This noteworthy occasion, the prom. was highlighted by the gracious presence of our newly elected officers, Energetic Eugene, Bashful Betty. Confident Charles, Carefree Connie, and loy- ous ludy as well as Humorous Herbie, who con- stantly sauntered through the halls bedecked in loafers, sweatsox and rolled up pants.

When the long-anticipated occasion finally arrived, the Iuniors marched into the auditorium to the strains of Pornp and Chivalry played by the school orchestra. The customary salute to the flag and singing of the Star Spangled Banner followed. Proud parents, friends, and fellow schoolmates, were warmly welcomed by the popular president, Ralph Race. As the applause died away, Iacqueline Kocinski, our talented pianist, played the mellow and harmonious Holiday for Strings. Rosalind Gerlach and Richard Wil- cox presented an intriguing dance number called Me and My Shadow. It has become traditional for the Iun- iors to present a one act comedy as part of their program. Participating in this year's play, Kid Brother, were Naomi Butts, Robert Hoebel, Gordon Iackson, Glenn Frank, Ruth Creola, Dolores Schwendler, and Betty Klopf. Following the play, Mr, McDonnell greeted the guests and offered his congratulations to the Iuniors. At the conclusion of the exercises, the Iuniors gathered on the front lawn for the traditional ivy planting. As in previous years, the Prom was given in the beautifully decorated gymnasium and refreshments were served in the cafeteria. At the close of three hours dancing, all too short, the students left . . . carrying away with them the memory of a perfect Iunior Day. Class Marshals: Helen Falk and Fred Cull.

Among the study rooms banner winners were: 106 with 120.472 and 162 with ll0'X,. Room 243 led the Home Rooms with 133.332 and 304 was second with ll4.28'K,. Our congratulations go especially to Room 243 in which there are only 27 mem- bers, but which led the entire school in percentage. Mr. Meegan once more is deserving of much praise for his excellent and efficient leadership in this campaign.

Long remembered will be the afternoon spent listening to phonograph records about German poets, musicians, and writers . . . Richard Wagner's life and works . . . strains of Du, du liegst mir im Herzen . . . games . . . folk songs. Event ofthe year was the annual Christmas Party . . . refreshments and favorite carols . . .

But such are the emergencies that the Projection Staff learns to meet and solve. No student becomes a full-fledged member of this group without having passed an intensive basic training course. Anyone interested in learning to handle the Visual Aid and sound equipment must file an application with Miss Heacock . . . be willing to give up study periods . . . and pass a written examination on the theory of this work. The applicant must also demonstrate practical ability in handling the equipment. The government is using Visual Aid extensively tor accelerated training. It has been found that learning is more rapid and the memory of the lesson retained more easily when pictures are used. Kensington pupils are highly in favor of this type of instruction. It is ex- citing to attend classes when there are talkies . . . or lantern slides . . . or a chance to use the public address system. Whenever Visual Aid or sound equipment is used in classes, a member of the Projection Staff is on hand to operate the projectors and loud speakers.

High spots in a library monitor's day: the line of students waiting to return books every morning at 8:45 . . . the jingling of coins forfeited by tardy book-borrowers . . . the poor misguided Freshman who tries to return his books after school . . . making the rounds of the study halls with library slips. These and many other duties make up the interesting work that goes with the coveted honor of being a Library Monitor. If you have a study period, why not spend it in the library? You may even be admitted to the Inner Sanctum Cmagazine room to the uninformedl. Miss Lane, our gracious librarian, or one of her capable assistants is always eager to help you select books or solve research problems. Standing: H. Frisch. I. Knausdorf, B. Ullrich, A.

It's just Miss Felser's mermaids in the midst of constructing fish for carnival decorations. Leaving the scene painters, we wandered into the pool to watch a rehearsal . . . attracted by the sound of drums beating. It sounded like an Hawaiian war chant . . . and we arrived in time to see a tribal dance complete with tomtoms, rattles, and hula girls. A thrilling sight was the wedding of the princess Cportrayed by seven- year-old Marleen Hein? . . . a triangle of maids and blos- soms fthe tribal symbol? drifting on the lagoon . . . Sweet leilani flowering in the center of the pool . . . somersaults . . . and maidens waltzing in the moonlight. A bevy of girls rhythmically surface-diving for pearls for the wed- ding necklace . . . but, alas, the strains of Aloha all too soon broke upon this happy scene. The entire company gathered for the finale and a beautiful, floating circle was formed as they bid us Aloha, till me meet again. Miss False! and 'he Aquabenes When the lights went up, it was hard to realize that we had not been in Hawaii. The theme of this year's carnival was one of the most picturesque and effective of all the water shows. Miss Felser and Mary Iohnson, the narrator, prepared the dialogue. Don Adams, of the Projection Staff, expertly handled the lighting equipment. As we left, four of the aquabelles, Gertrude Mallroy, Betty Szymanski, Ruth Allen, and Carol Blackmon, were bemoaning the fact that they'd be ex-carnivalites in 1945! These girls and all who took part in this year's show deserve congratulations for their hard work to produce a successful, outstanding Water Carnival.

Several close- ly contested games which we lost by a small score, sometimes only one point, might have resulted in victory for us had there been a minute left in which to play. The game with Lafayette we lost even after the gun had sounded to end the match. However, such poor luck never disheartened our team. With the high scoring of Karl Krafft . . . the fighting spirit of Bob McCarthy . . . the encouragement of Coach Bergstrom . . . and the untiring efforts of Manager Sherwood Szen, the team fought valiantly and succeeded in downing seven of their thirteen opponents.

Losing several of his All-High men of last year, he nevertheless opened the season with a goodly number of experienced athletes and with a large squad of promising boys. In our first dual meet with Bennett, we swamped them, placing a large majority of our men in first place and also obtaining points by virtue of our many seconds and thirds. We had the same suc- cess in the following meets with Tech and Riverside and then with East and Hutch. In the All-High championship meet, Wiedemer, Holmwood. and Treichler in the quarter mile, 100 and 220 yard dashes, and low hurdles, each earned places on the All-High team and Ken went on to win the meet with a majority of 32V2 points over our nearest rival. Thanks to Mr. Montgomery's excellent coaching and Harvey Ruppenthal's managing, our team finished a very successful season and looks forward to getting a second leg on the Track Trophy next year. fContinued on Page 1611 121 Swimming William Schulz, Mr. Webster, Mr. Waldron and Mr. McDonnell admire the Syracuse Cup. The 1943-44 swimming season brought honor to Coach lack Warren, the swimming team. and to the entire student body. Throughout the year our team swamped all opposition . . . even defeating our biggest rival, South Park. In the All-High meet we succeeded in placing two men . . . Ioe Donahue in the breaststroke . . . and Dave Trautlein in the 40 yard free style on the All-High team . . . at the same time capturing the Syracuse Cup. Ably cap- tained by Wilbur Schulz and competently managed by Ronald Griffin, the team came through to down South Park by a majority of three points. Starting the season with only six experienced men . . . Ed Sutton, Dick Rugg, Ioe Dona- hue, Iohn Hey, William Schulz, and Chuck Matthews, Mr. Warren perfected these boys and developed the remainder of the team into a top notch group of swimmers. Ian.

Baseball Remember those cheers? After suffering a late season slump last year, the baseball team of 1944 seems headed for the Cornell Cup. At the time the Compass went to press, only four games had been played. In these, our team showed such strength and power both on the offensive and defensive side that if they continue at the same pace, Kensington should unquestionably add another trophy to its collection. Karl Krafft, All-High member of Ken's 1943 track team, turned from pole-vaulting to pitch- ing, with an equal degree of success. Behind his superb pitching, the team has played well enough to be picked as the team to beat. Other team members whose playing was out- standing were Fred Cull, first base: David Cefaly, second base: Albert Rutecki, third base, and Captain Sherwood Szen, catcher. Coach Bergstrom, Manager, and the entire student body look forward to the successful completion of a well-begun season.

Two of last year's singles players did not return, and in addition to this the team's faithful coach, Mr. Millard. was drafted but the team overcame both of these handicaps and won a goodly num- ber of points toward the Williams Cup, as well as placing third in the race for the Tennis Trophy. Playing a hard schedule of nine matches the seven boys comprising the team won the first five. Losing a match to our traditional rival . . . Bennett . . . the boys nevertheless went on to win the three remaining contests. The two Donalds . . .

Gold K Award ,N sl: ' E This year a total of fifty senior girls were the recipients of Gold K's7 the largest number ever received in the history of the school. After four years of enthusiastic participation in athletic activities, these girls had accumulated five hundred points or more, which thus entitled them to this award. These points were earned by remaining after school for badminton, volleyball, basketball. and baseball, or by coming early in the morning to play tennis. Other points were earned through entering the riding club or through after-school swimming. F or those who needed a few more points to reach SOO , hikes were held after school or on Saturdays. On one of these hikes, the girls crossed the Peace Bridge into Canada, and visited historic Old Fort Erie. On Girls' Letter Day, the Gold K Girls presented a program on square dancing. A skit, based on the comic strip, Lil' Abner, depicted a contest in square dancing between the Yokums and the Scraggs. To the dismay of both clans, Available Iones adjudged the con- test a tie.

This shortage, however, was somewhat compensated for by the overtime labors of the dancing experts, Mr. Warren, Mr. Mont- gomery, and Mr. Meegan.

We began this year, eventful in both athletic and dramatic achievements, by turning out probably the finest football team Kensington ever boasted. This team, spearheaded by All-High men, Glenn Treichler, Karl Krafft, and Robert Dunford defeated Bennett by a 26-14 score, to win the league football's championship, but-well, everybody knows the end of that tragic story. To return to more agreeable topics, our invincible Swimming team came through with flying colors as we swamped all opposition to gain possession of the coveted Syracuse Cup. On the All-High team, we, bursting with pride, find Ioseph Donahue, city's leading backstroker. Much praise is due to Bill Schultz, captain of the swimming team. Who, in the entire school, will ever be able to forget that memorable assembly at which the school was presented the swimming trophy and the league football cup, an assembly at which the eminent Van Patrick was one of our distinguished guests. Nor will we ever forget the student's resounding, roaring reaction to his climax of well- boys will be boys! Remember the Christmas Pageant? Surely Mr. Pinkow will never forget it for there seemed to be quite an epidemic of flu especially in the Double Quartet,-are we not right? That stirring presentation of The Miracle of the Danube will long be remembered. During the course of the play. everyone of the members of the cast had spoken some part, except Sergeant Tommy Ober who just sat there stiffly, looking so distinguished. We all wondered, what part has he in this drama?-when is he going to speak?-Whaft suspense!! Well, finally the crucial moment came:-Tommy, after weeks of diligent rehearsals, was to deliver his famous speech to the awaiting and breathless audience. At last he uttered his resounding command, Dis way Captain. l06 in the morning, Sherwood Szen slept the whole night through. When we asked Szen why he was always so late in the morning, he replied, I wake up in time, but I can never think of a good enough reason to get out of bed,-so, I just lie there, unquote. Those unspeakable ice cream suckers in the cafeteria with that rubbery chocolate coating,-never-to-be forgotten! Marie Smolka, having bought one of these, casually remarked, l wonder why they don't use these for tires? Now there's an idea for all you industrious chemistry students. Ah, yes,-those 7th hour Chemistry Lab. classes. The Colonel always was a great one for making them lively, for he's what we may refer to, as a regular guy .

Signs, tags, petitions. ballots-these were only a few of the indications that elections were drawing near. Who else could look over the towering heights of Kensington more fittingly than Chuck Ratzel, our class president. Leona Adelman reigned as Vice-President, while Iudy Bartholmew became secretary. Our treasurer was none other than Henry Hearn, whose friendly smile, no one could resist. tThat plug will cost you exactly two bits, Henry.l Lois Stone and Glenn Treichler, with his enviable marcelle, were later chosen as class marshals. These and other incidents that others may think insignificant, will long be remembered by this year's graduating class. True . . . there have been headaches and the cramming before exams, but then, there was also the boundless joy and deserved honor. Our iour years at Kensington have been more than just happy ones, they have been years that can never be recalled. We entered as very young boys and girls, but we are leaving as the men and women oi tomorrow. We are now entering a world of chaos, a world torn apart by the ruthlessness of mad-crazed dictators, but we are not unprepared. We are about to take a vital role in showing and teaching people that there can be peace and security, that we can cooperate, and that honor, tolerance, and freedom are not dead, for here at Ken these ideals have become part oi us. We have these four years of training as background. As graduates of 1944, we're going to lift the torch of freedom against the whip of slavery. confident of our victory!

I Continued from Page 232 India: Having been stationed here for six months now, Corporal Ray Squi- tieri tClass of '40i writes: lndia is a land of mysteries. and twice as many peddlers. He goes on to say that the natives call all Americans Royals, because they think we have so much money. When buying something from them he says: You should always offer one fourth of the price they ask, but on the long run, they usually make money on you. Ray has found many strange customs in India among them being the way they dispose of their dead. He tells us that the Hindus burn theirs, and cast the ashes into the Ganges River. Although India has some modern improvements, he writes, once you leave the large cities, and go into the jungle where we are now, all you can see for towns, is a bunch of bamboo shacks. He says that he stopped in several other countries before coming here, but that India by far is the most interesting. Ireland: Corporal Iohn R. Chassin iClass of '42l. who is stationed in Ire- land. describes the country-side by saying: The land is as green as the green on Kensington's banners, and looking at the fields from a mountain, you would probably think you were seeing a patch-work quilt. He says that the Irish dress similar to Americans and live in houses made of brick and cement, but he adds: It is not a strange thing to see cows, sheep, or dogs running down the main street. They even stop traffic until they are chased away. He goes on to say that the Irish children are particularly fond of Yankee guml, and their favorite request is: Any Gum, Yank? lohn says that Ireland is unequaled as far as beauty is concerned, but that: There will be tears in the eyes of many men when the Statue of Liberty is sighted once more. Italy: Corporal Betty Hoefler tClass of '35-D, a member of the W.A.C., is stationed in Italy. and has been overseas for about a year. She says that the Italian people have seen much tragedy, and are still going through a lot of misery. However, she adds: They seem to think all Americans are wealthy, so they charge us outrageous prices for trinkets. Betty tells us that she has managed to pick up only a few words in Italian, and, therefore, she cannot carry on many conversations.
