Hllllyw THE COMPASS PUHUBHED ANNUALLY BY THE STUDENTS OF KENSINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BUFFALO, NEW YORK ryan l - L '- l Amlllh tlt '--ta. Dedlbaffbn More and more, youth is entering the spotlight of public opinion. At long last the youth of America is being rec- ognized. Some are rising to defend their opinions in nationwide youth conferences. Others are working stead- fastly to mobilize programs of concentrated studies. Now is the appointed time for us, the future of America, to try our wings . Now must we advance to new surroundings, to seek new fields, new opportunities. Therefore, a little boldly, perhaps, we dedicate this COMPASS of 1946 to ourselves- the youth of today- the hope of tomorrow. A 4 CLARA OOGGENDORFI Foreword The teen age is a difficult time in life when we are caught between childhood and maturity. Not yet ready to partake in the activities and duties of adults, we are like spectators of mankind. Meanwhile, We live in a small world of our own, imitating our chosen matinee idols, speaking a language most puzzling to outsiders, yet always keeping under observa- tion the complex world beyond our classroom windows. ln this book, through the story of the big dreams and little accomplishments of several hundred high school students, we present to you, The World As We See lt. 6 L 'C' Marion Horton. Thelma Howard. Thomas Decker. Donald Hoppa OFFICERS President ................. , ..... ........ T homas Decker Vice-President ........................ Donald Hoppa Corresponding Secretary Marion Horton Recording Secretary ...... Thelma Howard Alumni Assoclhflbn On April 24, 1946 the first meeting of the Ken- sington Alumni Association Was held. The school corridors resounded with the reunions of old school chums and with wistful reminiscences. After registering with their respective graduating classes, approximately fifteen hundred alumni proceeded to the familiar school auditorium where they were welcomed by Mr. McDonnell. He encouraged them to be the lighters of the Way in the community. In addition, Mr. McDon- nell suggested that this alumni might resolve to alleviate juvenile delinquency in the community. The primary purpose of this first meeting was the election of officers. Donald Hoppa, chairman for the first meeting, presented nominations for officers. Thomas Decker, 1941, was elected presi- dent of Kensington's first Alumni Association: Donald Hoppa, 1941, vice-president: Marion Horton, 1940, corresponding secretary: Thelma Howard tlVIrs. Thelma Keisterl, 1938, recording secretary. For five long years, Kensington's graduates have been separated by war. These graduates, many of them members of the United States Armed Forces, were scattered throughout all parts of the World. Now, with the termination of the War, many have returned home. They have served their country-now they are ready to serve their community. The Alumni Association Will encompass a two- fold purpose. Not only will the members enjoy social activities, but also they will work toward the progress of the community. With a Worth- while program such as this, the Alumni Associa- tion is destined to succeed. Indeed, with courage strong, they will onward strive for Kensington. Miss Creahan greets Mr. cmd Mrs. George Hanzlian Counting the votes in the first Alumni election 8 fommencemenf At the eighth annual commencement exer- cises in Kleinhans Music Hall, 360 Seniors received their diplomas. The Valedictory, given by the Senior who has maintained the highest average for tour years, was deliv- ered by Helen E. Fallc. Gold honor pins Were presented to those students who had been on every honor roll f32l during their high school course. The Iesse Ketchum Medal, a civic award, is presented to the senior having the highest average for four years. Last Iune, Helen Falk Won the large gold medal and lacque- lyn Kocinski the small medal. Kensington High School offers four Attain- ment Medals, one for each year, to the pupil having the highest average in his class. Last year's winners were: Helen Falk, Sen- ior medal,' Lois Arnold, Iunior medal: Lucille Lewandowslci, Sophomore medalf and Joanne Hanna, Freshman medal. An award for excellence in English is given to the Senior having the highest mark on his English Regents examination. Last year, Alvin Felix received this award. The American Legion Auxiliary Medal, presented to the Senior with the highest mark in the American History Regents examination, was given to Carol Drollinger. Norine Ward won the Chromatic Club Award, which is pre- sented to the Senior Who has shown the greatest activity in music during the year. The Rensselaer Medal, Won by William Mr. McDonnell hands a diploma to Donald Ban- halzl, first veteran to return to Kensington and complete his education. Thomas Cockburn, 1945 graduate, ofters congratulations to Don. Acquard, is given to the Senior who has done the best work in mathematics and science throughout his preparatory course. William Acguard was again honored with the Bausch and Lomb Medal, which is awarded to the Senior excelling in science. America needs intelligent, ambitious young people to present new plans and to formulate new ideas for the future. The awards and various honors offered at Ken- sington stimulate the students to strive for a high scholastic standing.

Our Worries and responsibilities consisted of what to tell Mr. Chassin for being absent, passing the chemistry exam or learning Latin declensions. During this period We, the matured ado1escents, Whenever undecided or troubled, could turn to our faculty for assistance. In the same Way, the peace of the World, as We see it, rests on the leaders of the U. N. As good citizens, it is our duty to cooperate fully with other nations by choosing the ablest administrators. 10 ...... .. N ulnuu N ,.., I QW . ' ' N-EXHWWQ ,. -' ' ' Q U3 : . 1 .. ..-x 1. --. .' .

MCDONNELL Principal The key to Kensington's outstanding scholastic and athletic records, can readily be found in our enthusiastic Principal, Mr. McDonnell. This man of abundant school spirit, possesses the invaluable quality of gaining results in the fastest and most efficient manner, which makes him a true leader among both the faculty and students. Although this spirit is invisible, it is so effective, that it is the backbone of Kensington: it is dynamic. l Admlhlkfraffbn IOHN N. CHASSIN Assistant Principal lf popularity is judged by the number of fans that follow a person, then surely Mr. Chassin, our Assistant Principal, with his famous daily bread line of students, is the most popular person here. With or without his folloWing , lVlr. Chassin is truly one of the most admired and respected members of the faculty, as his talents scale from giv- ing the students excellent advice in both scholastic and social life to lead- ing the assemblies in football cheers. OFFICE: Behind every great organization, there is a woman! At Kensington, we are fortunate in having two remarkable secretaries, Miss Kam- merer and Miss Quinlivan under whose guiding hands the wheels of organization move smooth- ly. Miss Kammerer also directs publication of The Compass, bringing to it her unusual knowl- edge and talent in the field of publication. CLINIC: Headache? Butterflies in your stomach? Come to the clinic, haven of all peppermint- lovers. Miss Armstrong's sympathy and effi- OFFICE AGNES QUINLIVAN Secretary MARY KAMMERER Administrative Assistant ciency have been a comfort to many a woebe- gone student. Here, all students are examined upon entering Kensington, vaccinations given, and other precautions taken to safeguard the health of Kensingtonians. LIBRARY: Continually, pupils dart into our library and ask Miss Lane such questions as: Where could I find the year in which the sewing machine reached Africa? With patience and an accurate knowledge of books and references, she helps bewildered students to find the answer. '-in-.

A sure-cure for any Freshman is to take the remedy concocted by Miss Iohnson, Miss Frink or Miss Ranallo. Those who still have a missing adjective fight it out with Miss Belknap, Miss Strickland or Miss Maloney in their second year. Macbeth, in the third year, starts a battle royal for the leading part in Mrs. Stewart's, Mrs. Iohns' or Miss Mack's classes. Our fourth year we start in a dormant state, but come out of our hibernation for a last fling at English under Miss Belden, Miss Culliton or Miss Kennedy. LANGUAGES: Are you puzzled by the Boyer-like accents in Miss TeWksbury's room, the Como esta Vds? of the Alumnos of the Senoritas Dunlavey and Valente and the polite Guten Morgen's in Miss Westerman's class? If so, try one of the varied language courses offered at Kensington. For the classically-minded, we recommend the Latin classes of Mrs. Chalmers, Miss McCarthy and Mr. Gleason who also teaches a Greek course guaranteed to amuse, but not confuse, you. Kensington students know the importance of languages in this changing World, in which any nation can be reached in a few hours of air travel. LANGUAGES Seated: M. McCarthy, H. Tewksbury, H. Gleason. Standing: C. Valente, M. Becker, L. Dunlavey, R. Westerman. 13 SCIENCE: Did you know that osmosis occurs through a whatchamacallit in the blood stream and that villi are little thingamajigs? These are the first problems in Mrs. Eardman's, Miss Hea- coclc's, Mrs. Landsman's and Mr. Hallahan's General Science classes. Next, We advance to the formulae of physics Where Mr. Haynes, Miss Davison and Mr. Mountain expound the com- plicated theory of diffused light. Then every- body runs for the oxygen masks as the chem- istry classes prepare their hideous compound of hydrogen sulphide gas. Generally Mr. Kelly and Mr. Albing are the sole survivors after this experiment. SCIENCE Seated: T. Mountain, G. Heacock, I. Hallahan, I. Eardman. Standing: L. Landsman, E. Davison. F. Kelly, L.

Such are some of the braintwisters which Miss Connors, Miss Larrison, Miss Mayer, Miss McGee and Miss Steudle present to their Algebra and Geometry classes. The true math enthusiasts of Kensing- ton are under the capable instruction of Miss Creahan, Mr. Larrabee and Miss Sanfleet, who explain the more intriguing problems of higher math.

Are you losing sleep puzzling over a presidential candidate for '48? Your worries are over it you take your problems to the illustrious K?l students in Kensington's history classes. Guided by Miss Dickman, Mrs. Lindstrom, Miss Stolcoe, Miss Walker, Dr. Adler and Mr. Millard, these stu- dents are unearthing the mysteries of history, past and present. In addition, Civics and Eco- nomic Citizenship are invaluable in teaching us the fundamentals of good government. Those fundamentals are brought before us in the classes of Miss McCarthy, Mrs. McKeon and Miss Keete. COMMERCIAL: Every beginner in typing pounds out: Now is the time tor every good boy, etc., etc. under the supervision ot Mrs. Kolbe or Mr. Reilly. Balancing accounts is a feat taught by Mrs. Fink and Miss Kauffman. In shorthand, Mr. Meegan and Miss Lehde explain that those funny hooks and dashes are really words, while Mrs. Crowley teaches dictation and transcribing letters. Miss Foss, in Business Arithmetic, helps us to add 2 and 2 mentally. Then there is either Office Practice from Mr. Smith or Secretarial Practice with Mrs. Iacobs. Completing commer- cial studies with Miss Steffan's Business Law class, We learn the laws are true, but wrong. COMMERCIAL Seated: F. Lehde, I. Reilly, E. Kaprove, A. Foss, M. Kolbe. Standing: R.

While tempting aromas till the third floor corridors, Mrs. Hyman and Miss Meach reveal the secrets of creating beautiful clothing to the humming of sewing machines and chatter of scissors. Within classes such as these, our future homemakers are trained. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Do you want to build your own home or construct an ocean-going cruiser? If so, see Mr. McMahon, our enthusiastic Indus- trial Arts teacher. Not satisfied with a full school schedule, he willingly under- takes to aid the students in many extra curricular activities. He has been called upon to lend his talents in making any- thing from angel pedestals to hot dog stands for the various school shows. Mr. McMahon, Gerald Wilson, Samuel Borzillieri Mr. Pinkow, Miss Townsend MUSIC: There is music in the air of Kensing- ton's classrooms and corridors. Up in the clouds on the fifth floor, Mr. William Pinlcow rehearses the orchestra in Tschailfowsky's Marche Slav. In Room 109, Miss Marjorie Townsend's History of Music class listens raptly to a Beethoven Symphony. Students in this course also study Rudiments of Music and Harmony I and II. Our beautifully trained musicians and singers willingly lend their talents to school assemblies and plays. PHYSICAL EDUCATION SWIMMING When the Weather is so cold that even lack Frost is frozen, Where can you find the Kensingtonians who are fortunate enough to have study periods? That's right, they are down in Ken's sWimming hole with our instructors, Mr. Warren or Miss Mcllhenney, recently returned from active duty in the W.A. C. Although the students greatly enjoy their swimming classes, there is much to the art of swim- ming and diving, which is expertly taught by our coaches. Miss Mcllhenney, Mr. Warren Mr. Lalli, Miss Davis ART: Two of the busiest places in Kensington are the art rooms. Hey, Wipe that paint off! is a familiar cry in Boom 250 where the advanced students, studying commercial art with Miss Davis, are busily finishing plates for Design 3 or 4, drawings for The Compass, or posters for a contest. ln Room 237, one sees the beginning students learning the fundamentals of Representation, While T squares and blueprints are evidence of Mr. Lalli's mechanical drawing classes. GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION: No, no, I'm afraid that you didn't understand! ln baseball, the bat is held at the smaller, taped end. This and even more complicated problems arise when the feminine student body crosses the threshold of the gym where they are instructed by either Mrs. Adylotte, Miss Cole or Miss Strasser. Here in the gym, one of the favorite school hang- outs, the girls not only have fun, but they learn to develop sound bodies and minds. Miss Fel- ser's classes in Hygiene and First Aid train the girls to safeguard their health and to be alert and prepared for any emergency. GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Cole. Miss Strasser. Mrs. Aydelotte, Miss Felser BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION: Do your muscles sag? Have you the case of the missing chest? ln gym, one learns masculine fitness and the remedy for any physical problems. The gym is one of the most popular places with the male portion of the student body. Under Mr. Berg- strom, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Sapeclcy many Worthwhile hours are spent in physical develop- ment. To prove the benefits of time spent in gym training, our football, basketball, tennis, track and other teams have emerged to bring honor to the name of Kensington.

Mrs. Naomi Werner and Miss Rose Hanallo joined the English department. Mrs. Marion Culliton came to teach commercial subjects and Mr. Iohn Hallahan taught General Science. Returning to us from active duty with the armed forces were Miss Anne Mcllhenney, who served with the W.A.C., and Mr. Norman Millard, who was in Puerto Rico with the U. S. Army. We were happy to have Mrs. Aydelotte and Happy Birthday, dear Doctor! . . . Gloria Scharf. Patricia Wagner and Ross Battaglia help Dr. Adler celebrate. Mrs. Lindstrom with us again. Miss Rose Strasser, Miss Martha Cole, and Mr. Alfred Sapeclcy joined the Physical Education De- partment and Miss Felser was transferred from swimming to Health and First Aid classes. We extend our best wishes to Mrs. Fink and Miss Goossen who are on medical leaves of absence and hope to welcome them back next fall. Miss Kaprove and Mr. Pericak took over their classes for the re- mainder of the semester. Dale Mex and lean Kleasen admire the compact given to Miss Felser by the Freshmen girls. .S'erw2'e Secflbn Welcome home, boys! is the greeting that can be heard resounding through the corridors at Kensing- ton as our long awaited soldier and sailor boys return home. As we look ahead and plan for the future, we must not forget how these boys have made it possible for the youth to look forward to the future in a peaceful world. We honor and heartily welcome them. Now and in the years to come, we shall prove to the world that they are not the for- gotten men. Their future depends on young America as did ours on them and we must whole- heartedly support these veterans in their adjust- ments to civilian life. i Mllll ' ls of 12' A 53.1 ..--- .ttts Y ln f ' S . ..,.-.

As We Saw If In August, 1945, with a final blinding flash, and earthshaking roar, the most hor- rible War in world history came to an end. Mankind at last stood free of the shackles of oppression. Soldiers arose from their fox- holes, sailors from the steaming vitals of their ships to taste again the sweet air of freedom and of peace. Kensington students joined in the celebration, joyous and proud, too, for we also had a share in this mightiest of world struggles. Over 836' sons and daughters of Kensing- ton entered the service: 26 of these made the supreme sacrifice. On the homefront, our school staunchly supported every War activ- ity. In the first War Bond drive, our sales totalled almost S5U0,000. Later contributions ' included Sl51,5O0 toward the cruiser Buf- 21 falo, and the purchase of a C-46, and four P-4U's. In the salvage drive of 1943, our scrap pile was third largest in the national. Add to this countless other bond and sal- vage drives, contributions of Work and money to the Red Cross, the Russian War Relief program, our Ken's Knapsack de- signed to inform all our servicemen and women about school affairs and it is evident that Kensington students realized their War responsibilities. We also realize that the job is only par- tially completed. The war is ended, now the peace must be made secure. A tremen- dous task, but We are preparing for it. When the time is ripe for us to take our places at the World peace table, We will be ready.

With the end of the war, rapid discharges have made it impos- sible to compile an accurate list of service- men. Because or' this, we are mentioning only those boys of last year's graduating class now in the armed forces. They have the important task ot safeguarding the vic- tory.

They wisely took advantage of the opportunities for further education offered them in the G. I. bill of rights program. To complete their high school education, these men adopted strenu- ous schedules so that they might be better equipped to seek employment or to continue their education. We at Kensington were glad to Welcome them back to our corridors. Their determ- ination to continue where they left off shows the true Kensingtonian spirit. We look to them as fine examples of American man- hood and wish them success in their future endeavors. Serwbemen WM Diplomas Called to the service of their country, many Kensingtonians had to leave school before completing their high school courses. Realizing the ever increasing importance of a good education, they contacted their school for information on continuing their studies, enlisted the aid of the U. S. A. F. I. and, in various Ways, under extraordinarily difficult circumstances, many succeeded in securing their diplomas. During the year, diplomas were granted to the following service men and were awarded on Iune 24, 1946: Benjamin Iessie Carter .............. ............

Three copies of the paper were sent out during the year. The mailing list dropped from approximately 900 to 450. Addresses had to be checked and recheck- ed. The staff members were always in touch with the families of the servicemen to in- quire about their addresses or to find out if the boys were discharged. Letters were re- ceived from many of the boys thanking the staff for the swell paper. The staff was always looking for news about class elections, assemblies, athletics and about the boys themselves. Each edi- Knapsack tion contained news of the recent visitors home on leave and of the discharged servicemen. Without the faculty advisor, Mrs. Stewart, the Knapsack could not have existed. The mimeographing was done by Mr. Smith's Office Practice Class. Volunteers were always willing to help with the folding, addressing, and stamping of the envelopes. Thus, through co-operative effort and hard work, the Ken Knapsack has kept our soldiers informed about their school and friends, showing them, wherever they might be, that they have not been forgotten by Kensington.

Wfmf Me Um' ea' States Navy Means o Me Our nation at the end of the 18th century in all its infancy was weak and dependent on older, more experienced countries. At the same time, the nucleus of our present Navy was established and, like the government, it too lacked force. Then gradually our fathers realized the importance of seapower for defending our rights. Thus, the develop- ment of the United States and its Navy ran in parallel courses, since both have emerged as the greatest and most powerful on earth. We all possess different opinions as to what this branch of the service means to us. First, the United States Navy means his- tory, a brilliant history of bloody battles, defeats and victories, of accomplishments and improvements: the story of its safe- guarding the nation in war and peace against all aggressors. It means the devel- opment of a Navy from seven ships of war in 1774 to our present fleet. The accomplish- ment was procured only by the toil and sweat and blood of men. Next, the Navy means men, men stationed on battleships, aircraft carriers and sub- marines: the ambitious youths in boot train- ing: the jubilant officers of Annapolis at graduation, and the dead men who will never return. All of these men symbolize the machinery and heart of the Navy. I t means leaders like Nimitz, an admiral's admiral together with Halsey and King, who represent the elements which keep the Navy great. It means also men like Dave Wechtel, captain of the submarine Black Zephyr, a superior with courage and under- standing living up to the standards of his crew. It means the pilots and bombardiers of the air force attacking co-ordinately with dive-bombers and torpedo planesp the men of the Navy Salvage in their grotesque suits tramping the floor of the ocean. It means the brave men like Dean Hectors and Wheeler B. Lipes, heroes after performing an appendictomy in a submerged submarine with the crudest implementsf or the unsung heroes-the men of the shipyards who repair the damaged ships to keep the fleet floating. In addition, the Navy means ships. The immense camouflaged battleship speeding CContinued on Page 1623 Essaylkfs W171 First Prkes Young America in the Post-War Era was the challenging title selected for the 17th annual Americanism Essay Contest, sponsored by the Erie County American Legion, Legion Auxiliary, and the Buffalo Evening News. Discussions on the topic were held in Eng- lish classes: then each student turned his efforts to writing a well-constructed essay containing his own ideas on the subject. The results were gratifying for they proved that the minds of American youth have an excellent comprehension of their place and their obligations in the post-war world. Of the two essays chosen to represent Kensington, Carol Hibbard's masterly dis- cussion of the topic won her a S50 Savings Bond. Russell Landgraf was the other en- trant. Young Amerika In The Post-War fra The war has ended, but the note of tri- umph was almost unheard in the deafening roar of the atom bomb. Always vaguely hopeful that war might one day be oblit- erated, we now realize that war must be prevented or the survival of mankind is im- possible. This is the task before us: to build, by faith, courage and perseverance, a world in which all may live in peace and pros- perity. Idealistic? Yes, but every great ac- complishment was once a dream, brought to reality by blood, sweat and tears. The youth of this nation have tasted war's bitterness, the anxiety for loved ones, the knowledge of what was happening in other countries, the threat of attack on our own land. Yet, in comparison with other nations, we have remained untouched. We have not suffered their mental and physical torture. They have lived in fear and in hunger. Our bodies are strong, our minds alert. To us will fall the responsibility of seeing that the peo- ple of these war-devastated nations are fed and clothed and aided in establishing a good, clean way of life. We must help them to banish fear and ignorance, to select and support only those leaders whose aims are above suspicion. Unless we do this, our world is doomed, for in misery, starvation and discontent breed the evils that produce war. Meanwhile, we must see that our democ- racy sets an example for the entire world: that the sacred doctrines in our documents of government are carried out. To guard ourselves against the disease of prejudice and over-ambition, we, the youth of the na- tion, must train and educate ourselves to be clear-thinking, intelligent citizens. The startling developments of the past few years have made possible a new era of progress and prosperity for all. First, how- ever, we must insure a foundation of peace, justice and security for the entire world. Let us not regard it as an impossibility. We can do it, and we must! 4 , 4 .Yembrs Peace has finally come to our World, bringing to the high school students not only the happiness gained by victory but the necessity of facing a serious problem. To us, 1946 really means the end of chaos and the beginning of preparation for a task which Was created for youth. The rebuilding of nations, so that the World can be united and live in harmony has still to be accomplished. Of course, We cannot do this task at once, but We can and are, with open hearts and minds, preparing to accomplish this, our blood-bought right. Through the preparation gained here at Kensington, we the seniors, with hope in our hearts, look forward to helping rebuild our future World through patience, faith, and Work. s 'll :so Ya I 'Ili f Q all mm W S, .

These days of preparation have come to an end and you are now ready to exemplify the full meaning of four years of study and prepara- tion for your life's Work. The war has reached into your own home and because of personal suffering and the heavy losses that have come to the school you have learned the real meaning of sac- rifice. Your contributions to the all out War effort have helped immeasurably in Winning the victory and in bringing peace again to an upset World. In short, your high school years have made you better men and Women. As future citizens your task is to preserve the peace-a peace, which at the moment, seems insecure. Your education and train- ing have prepared you for the task. By pre- To The .Yembrs cept and example you must reflect the vir- tues of democracy and create in the hearts of men respect for authority, sympathetic understanding, a spirit of tolerance and a high regard for the true meaning of the blessings of liberty for all men. You must rid the world of greed and selfishness. You must clear your hearts of the poisonous in- fluences of bigotry, hatred, suspicion and fear. The world needs men and Women of conviction-men and Women Whose lives are dominated by sound principles, by lofty motives. You, the graduates of 1946, must be such. We bid you dedicate your lives to such a task so that by your example peace, happiness and prosperity may again reign in the hearts of all men. Sincerely, THOMAS I. MCDONNELL, Principal Iune 6, 1946 Valedfk' ary As we, the graduating class of 1946, pass over the threshold of Kensington, we ex- perience mingled emotions of joy and sor- row. Having completed the past four years of training, we eagerly anticipate either seeking higher education or entering the business world. At the same time, We regret leaving the halls so filled with fond memories. To our principal, Mr. McDonnell, and to Mr. Chassin, we owe heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their untiring patience and interest in guiding us toward the goal, sym- bolized by this occasion. Also, to the mem- bers of the faculty, who have been so help- ful in preparing us to meet our future and its inevitable difficulties, we wish to express sincere gratitude. Now that peace has been restored to the world, and the heartbreak and horror of War have been banished along with those respon- sible for it, we are faced with the great task of making the peace and preserving it. This we know is a very grave responsibility and will require our most determined efforts for success. Our representatives are now striv- ing to establish some form of world govern- ment to prevent future attempts at aggres- sion prompted by tyranny and intolerance. They will need continued support and un- ceasing devotion to the principles for which this organization will stand. We leave Ken- sington confident that there is opportunity for each of us to contribute in some way to their achievement-the only hope for mankind-a world free from hatred and injustice in which men can live together in peace. There are no words to express adequately our feelings tonight as we reach the comple- tion of four happy years at Kensington. We can only say that tonight when we leave the halls of our Alma Mater for fresh fields and pastures new we will carry with us like a shining shield the loving care and prepara- tion she has given us. Lois M. ARNOLD. Millicent Borxdcmza, Ianice Cheeley, Robert Karlak and Ioseph Miller at work on the class history Friends, Ken kids, classmen, lend us your ears! We, the outstanding class of '46, have undertaken to relate the memoirs of our four happy years at Kensington. Will Miss Heacock or Miss Iohnson ever forget the day we lowly frosh entered the portals of Kensington? No, nor will we. After climbing three or four flights of stairs to our homerooms five days a week for forty weeks, we began to realize the saying about the stairs to success being long and weary. From the illustrious upperclassmen we learn- ed that lockers were used as collection depots for snaps of our current movie idols twhat a man Van and F rankiell, slightly used gym towels, empty Pepsi-Cola bottles, and many other incidentals. The war emergencies announced by the government greatly influenced our Freshman year. Students for years had been experi- menting with various excuses for incomplete homework assignments without success. At last we, the Freshmen, had discovered it! The unannounced blackouts, of course! They were the perfect excuse! Then suddenly all our vim, vigor, and vitality left us. The patient teacher, seriously concerned, were shocked to discover that the deep, underlying cause of our agony was the Commando Tactics Course in our gym classes. Of course, these nigh-unto-impossi- ble physical excercises did not faze such stalwarts as Iean Kleasen or Pete Ciambella in the least. In accordance with govern- ment regulations, almost all after school activities were disbanded during the war so that we had no opportunity to contribute our various and sundry talents to club acti- vities. Mounds of cake were devoured by the Freshman girls at the annual Hallowe'en Party. Ah, those were the days when we did not need to count our calories! We enjoyed an amusing afternoon entertained by Dale Class fiflvfory Mex, Ianice Herold, Mildred Fischle, and Helen Atkins, who expounded their talents. Ruth Stunkel as a cave girl, and Diane Med- inger as Daisy Mae, won prizes for the most original costumes. Assemblies in this big year of '43 left us with impressions never to be erased. Who will ever forget the hilarious Truth or Con- sequences Show which had us Freshmen laughing so heartily that Miss Heacock and Miss Iohnson were compelled to hold us in our seats to prevent any catastrophes. Our own Dawn Hill took part in the show. No class was more enthusiastic or loyal to our football idols !Treich1er, Pfeifer, and Castinel than the Freshman class. Our cheering at football assemblies caused our long-suffering neighbors to wonder whether the world were nearing an end. Our sweeping victories over Seneca, Lafayette, and East, caused us to yell We Want that cup! or We will beat Bennett! For years we had heard all about the beautiful Christmas Pageant from our older brothers and sisters. At last we were to see it for ourselves. It was even more than we had anticipated. We looked for our class- mates Ann Gianadda, Faith Frey, Helen Atkins, Carol Boldt, Grace Pandolfi and Iean Betz, who were angels. Also representing the Freshman class were Kent Buyea and loseph Miller as heralds. Our Freshman year launched the begin- ning of a vocational guidance period every Wednesday morning directed toward help- ing us to decide on our vocations. Miss Heacock, despairing at the way that her Freshman girls laid on the make-up held a cosmetic demonstration, with Betty Grieshober as her victim. Despite the fact that we all insisted at the close that Betty had no make-up on at all, Miss Heacock ex- plained that she had on all that was neces- sary for beauty. The antics of our Freshman colleagues were exasperating at times. Our boys were indeed air-minded, even to the extent of waging animated air battles against one another with paper airplanes. Didn't they know there was a paper shortage? The year of '43 was one which echoed the cries of Lick a lap, Get in the Scrap! and Buy Bonds for Victory! With Dick Morshei- mer as our dashing guide, the Freshman girls even dragged our garbage cans to the scrap pile across from the school. Before we realized it, exam week was upon us. Feverishly we crammed to make the grade with Lois Arnold as our honor roll champ. Disappointed that we must leave the school which had housed so much joy, we nevertheless bade tearful farewells to our teachers, turned for a last glimpse of Ken- sington, and trudged home, staggering under the weight of the junk that had been col- lecting in our lockers since September. After a pleasant vacation, Kensington's gates to learning were reopened, enabling us to start again at the regular grind of school work. Now We entered with light hearts, knowing that there was one less flight of stairs confronting us each morning. lust think! We were able to give some poor frosh some fraternal advice. The felows got an early start in athletics when Tom Freitag and Robert Karlak won the intramural cross-country banner in Miss Maloney's room. Often, as these boys, and the rest of the squad, drove to Delaware Park for practice, they followed the Cabal- leros of which Betty Betz was vice-president and Ioyce Case, treasurer. Along with riding and running was the other autumnal sport, football. Doing a fine job of digging up the gridiron were Iohn Belle, Ioe Catozzi, Kevin Cox, Pete Ciambella, and Dick Leney, all of whom had their homerooms on the second floor. The swiming team, a Syracuse Cup winner, was given loyal support by our classmates, Gorden Newman, Kent Buyea, Edward Bockstahler, Howard Schmitt, Ioe Catozzi, and Louis Cassiol. There were also many girls with aquatic talents, who swam in intramural competition. They were Carol Lawrie, Dale Mex, lean Kleasen, and Carol Nagle. These girls, along with Helen Schindler and girls from other classes, constituted a group known to us as Miss Felser's Mermaids who put on a marvelous dis- play of coordination in water while portraying a tribe of Hawaiian beauties. Much to their disappointment, the boys were unable to see the show. Aside from sports we should have memories of other events, seen for the last time in '44, the long asembly programs with those extremely short periods following, the delicious ice cream suckers with rubber coverings, and the incessant humming of Mairzy Doats whenever permi ssabl e. Wasn't this the year when lean Krapf secured the title of perpetual latecomer ? Now let's see, was it the . alarm clock, or the bus service? Who could have been better suited for the photography work than Russell Flash Landgraf? Prob- ably no one else in school worked in a photography store and could get the rare materials during the war. Russ did a truly commendable job of attending any event which yielded a picture of interest to all Kensingtonians. Answering the call of our gallant Russian allies for food, Doris Fischer, Faith Frey, Diane Medinger, Leonore Colucci, and Dorothy Piersma willingly volunteered to make the goods ready for shipment. Claire Kropelin and Shirley Schmidt displayed their abilities at dressmaking when they stole the show at Miss Meach's fashion parade with outfits they had made in class. What was the most interesting assembly program in '44? There must be a variety of opinions on this question. It may have been the Senior minstrel review-. But do you recall the day Van Patrick visited us on Boy's Recognition Day? Iovial remarks, an- ecdotes, and good words of praise from the radio announcer sufficed to make it one of the most enjoyable Fridays of the year. Track season opened with the entire squad anxious to obtain the first leg of the Scalp and Blade Trophy. The cup was won with Tom Freitag, Earl Hawkins, Emilio Corbelli, Don Clark, loe Stenger, Pete Ciambella and Fred Simpson giving their all-out efforts to aid in the glorious victory. Our baseball team, the Knights, would never have been unified, were it not for the diligent support given by the now popular sluqgers lack Kareken, Shelly Klein, Ken- neth Geiger, Gerald Kraft, and Kevin Cox. Praise to the cheerleaders should be on a par with that for our other heroes, especially tContinued on Page 1553 AARON F.

FIRST! The Iunior Class must follow in the footsteps of the hallway Romeos and Iuliets of '46, by sneaking to their lockers between classes, hoarding waste paper in their desks, rolling the garbage cans half- way down the hall, and preying on Cap- tain Bill's sympathy. SECOND: Those Juniors who grin and bear Mr. Albing's perennial jokes, continue the annual debate between faculty and seniors over the senior prom, and pray for another sixty inches of snow next winter, will indu- bitably qualify for a seat in Doctor Adler's not half-wit but three-quarters wit class. THIRD: lf the preceding provisions are iaithlessly adhered to, we will surrender the following bargain basement possessions to the Iunior Chickery Chicks: Since It's Gotta Be This or That , it's: Helen Crotty's walk to E.'ukie Peters Lois Truncer's gym shoes to Bob Loftus Allen Lesswing's executive ability to joe Corbelli Helen DeMeo's eyelash curler to the Iunior boys Milton Kuhn's orchestra seat to Bob Donahue The Musical Talent of l62's gum cracking chorus to the A Capella Choir With a sad Heart and Soul We remorse- fully bequeath: Donna Kron's Gay Nineties bathing suit to Chuck Baldwin Helen Krege's prize-winning composition to Bud Hughes Tony Lorenzetti's four years of Latin to Mr. Gleason Marky Stockman's twinkle toes to Fred Bechtel Ladonna Alianello's prepared t?1 lessons to Lucille Lewandowski We relinquish Till the End of T ime : Kevin Cox's football suit to Mouse Feld- man lda Narduzzo's physics book to Babe Birrer Ruth Murray's Irish locks to Iean Scheuerle Helen Schindler's Badminton racket to Dick Cortright ' Maggie Ryan's Pepsodent smile to Ioan Keitsch Gloria Aprile's waist line to Richard Moran Bob Webber's and Alice Brenner's stroll be- fore fourth period lunch to patient Miss McGee Because Tomorrow Is Forever , we gen- tContinued on Page 1677 r in 1 'Q Diane Medinger's charm to Mr. Warren for his own I personal use Bob Ohlheiser's side burns to Mr. Kelly IL?

Though at present our interests seem to be centered about Iohnny's new jalopy-or Iohnny, nevertheless we realize with due seriousness that we must work to prepare ourselves in our scholastic fields for new responsibilities in the building of a better tomorrow. The great statesmen, poets, archi- tects, and musicians of the future are the students of today. Perhaps they may now be our classmates at Kensington. We hope so. America must yet produce another Cordell Hull, another George Gershwin, a Walt Whitman and a Cass Gilbert. ty '1':mpt IN Q it fy t ,sb tn ,Am 499 s t. VL 72 I ., , , 1 AY ww- ,...

Compass Sta f This year for the first time, in order to season the Compass to suit more tastes and to help change the idea that the production of the yearbook is a mostly seniors affair, the Compass staff took on some new mem- bers, junior grade, who were representatives of the freshmen, sophomore, and junior groups. These cubs conducted quizzes in their English classes to get the likes, dislikes and opinions of the students On various subjects. They wrote out homeroom membership lists, collected data about activities, identified pictures for the book and reported on Iunior Day. In these ways, they gained a little knowledge about the ways and means of Compass production. This experience will prepare them for their responsibilities as Senior Editors of the Compass. However, the most important job of the underclass staff is that they have helped to make the Compass more representative of the whole school and of more interest to the student body.

Iohn Daddario, Ioseph Corbelli, Iean Scheuerle Jumbr Class 0ff bers IOSEPH CORBELLI, President A good fellow -a better athlete, that's our description of this year's Junior class president. Ioe has distingu- ished himself as a champ of the low hurdles, in foot- ball and baseball. He possesses a winning personality, a pepsodent smile, and especially likes the sweeter things in life, namely, ice cream and cake, We are all proud of loe and the fine job he is doing. IEAN SCHEUERLE, Vice President Our popular vice president, lean Scheuerle, has won the admiration of teachers and students for her aca- demic skill. An ardent sports enthusiast, lean has been the captain of the lunior girls basketball team and an outstanding member of the volleyball team. She confesses a weakness for hamburgers and swim- ing. YVONNE SCHMIED. Secretary Yvonne Schmied, class secretary, has, besides a win- ning smile, a dread of going to classes. She enjoys Shorthand and lunch most. Dancing to the music of Harry Iames is Yvonne's favorite pastime. Although she is still grieving the death of her pet dog, Yvonne is certain that swimming this summer at Crystal Beach and Sherkston will more than comfort her. IOHN DADDARIO, Treasurer V This year's Iunior treasurer, Iohn Daddario, is a fine person to know,-. He says his favorite pastimes are collecting records and dancing, along with a little Latin, His favorite orchestra is Woody Herman and actor Gary Cooper. Pgiy Como's Dig You Later tHubba Hubba! is his ided -of smooth. Iohn is also a good athlete be- ing a member of Ken's swimming and football teams. LUCILLE LEWANDOWSKI, Girls' Marshal Lucille Lewandowski, Girls' Marshal, is popular with both students and faculty. Despite her enviable scholas- tic record, she is an active member of the Radio and Slide Rule Clubs. Louie, as she is known by many of her friends, swoons to the music of Vaughn Monroe and prefers the slow and dreamy dancing to the jit- terbug. ROBERT GOEMBEL, Boys' Marshal One of the most popular fellows around Ken is the lunior Boys' Marshal Bob Goembel. Bob says, outside of studying German, his favorite pastimes are bowling, baseball, swimming, and tennis. His favorite dessert is apple pie. We all like Bob and congratulate him on his fine work. Iuniors leaving the auditorium on their way to the No Iunior Day would be complete without picture-taking ivy planting. on the front steps. v E- l 5 X N, Y The climax oi Iunior Day-- the Prom. Jumbr Day Program The gaily clad members- of the Iunior Class marched into the angiitorium to the strains of Pomp and Chivalfyl' played by the orchestra and another Iunior lg Pro- gram was under way. First came th 3 alute to the Flag, followed by the -singing of the Star Spangled Banner by the whole assem- bly. Alter President Ioseph Corbelli's inter- esting speech, Nancy Barbaclc played a violin solo, Cleora Handel a bassoon med- Iey, and Carol Ohlheiser a piano solo. The orchestra played the amusing Chop Sticks as the stage was being set for the highlight of the program, a one act play un- der the capable direction of Mrs. lohns. The play, a modern comedy concerning an ave- rage family, was enacted by the enthusiastic Miss Keele, Mrs. Lindstrom, Miss McCarthy and Miss Scanlon serve refreshments. thespians Arline Scharra, Thomas Roneclcer, George DeWald, Ruth Haitgema and Shirley Ott. The laughter and applause testified to the audience's appreciation of their acting. Following Mr. McDonnell's greeting to the juniors and their guests, the assembly was brought to a close with the singing of the Alma Mater .

Freshmen - L74 s of 1949 Enter the Class of 1949, at once confused and delighted by the sounds and sights and new freedoms of high school life. Undaunted by their contrast to the self-esteemed upper classmen, they have found Kensington to be a fulfillment of their anticipations, with its swift tempo ot student activities, athletics and the challenge of more advanced sub- jects. With a glance at the record of their first year at Kensington, we are certain they will carry on the fine spirit and traditions ot our school.

' 91 Rev kw of 1946 Something new has been added to the sport life of the Freshman boys. Mr. Meegan introduced bowling to them and from a turnout of twenty boys, Frederick Frauen- haufer stole the game with a score of 155, followed by Gordon Bradfield with 140 and lack Reichert with 135. In after school'ses- sions, a chess club also took hold. Some of Mr. Meegan's challengers were Carl Makay, Roy Stotz and Carl Lanno. ln November, horseback riding took a favorable spot with Ronald Kerling, Gerald Kania, Cliff Reuter and Conrad Lauer. Richard Keeny was the winner in the freshman cross country run with Iohn Kitchen second and Iohn Gal- lagher bringing in a close third. The Ken Cubs, the freshman baseball team, was under the capable direction of their third base captain, Charles West. Three of the players, William Long, Glen Nixon and Iack Thompson joined the American Legion Base- ball League. Outstanding in freshman bas- ketball were Edward Cromp, Iohn Corbelli and Earl Weston. Of the few that tried for the swimming team, lack McMinn, who came in second against Hutchinson in the 40 yard event, Iohn Mahoney and William Murray are prominent. Howard Hock, a promising tennis star, made the varsity team. Others on the freshman tennis team were Ward Kocher, Kenneth Day and Don- ald Batz. With so eventful a year behind them, the freshmen step into the roles of Sophomores, facing another year to fill with achievements.

The Freshman boys of Room 306 outdid themselves with a sales record of 1732, the banner-winning percentage this year among the boys' study rooms. Room 162 with 1512 Won the banner awarded to the girls' study rooms. Winners ot home room banners were Room 100 with 1462 and Room 252 with 1642. So keen was the competition that the LOIS ARNOLD IOSEPH STENGER Ass't.

The annual subscription campaign is con- ducted by Mr. McMahon who collects the money, arranges for the distribution of the books and supervises all the necessary cle- tails. To his energy and enthusiasm, which is such an inspiration to the salesmen, we owe this year's record-breaking sales total of 2,737 subscriptions. First Row: D. Koch, I. Wind, A. Perino, M.

The idea of the paper originated with Madeline Onorato. Miss Heacock helped to get the paper started and acted as its advisor. Ioan Farrell assisted Madeline in gathering and writing the news. Other articles were contributed by Marjorie Grotzlra. Lois Goembel drew the cartoons. A poem entitled Girls was the work of Clarence Maurer, Rm. 306. Compass Pointers covered all the activities in the school-sports, assemblies, and shows, as well as study room news. A special Easter issue appeared in April and a final number was planned for early in Iune. The mimeographing was done in the Office Practice room with the assistance of Mr. Smith and Miss Heacoclr.

We actually reached the point of getting to our classes on time! Early in the year, girls whom we thought would be good leaders were elected to the 406 Council. Marjorie Creola was chairman assisted by Ioyce Baggs, Marjorie Grotzka, Ann McGarva, Margery Pletz, Ar- lene Thrun and Nancy Sherrer. The Council outlined the topics for discussion in guidance programs. Taking part in the Good Groom- ing program were Iosephine Bianchi, Pa- tricia Clifford, Hose Mary Herrmann and Phyllis Simmons. Practical school clothes were modeled in a fashion show by Audrey Dekedebrun, Ianet Fahning, Margaret F rank, joan Farrell, Concetta Girolamo and Vir- ginia Manke. A series of skits on Social Relationships were presented by many of the girls, including Shirley Best, Dolores Krueger, Shirley Lutz, Constance Kraft, and Arlene Schlicht. Many of the girls in 406 participated in all the sports offered, work- ing for a Freshman letter. Some 406'ers in the Water Carnival were: Mary Dougherty, Ioyce Kellerman, Betty Parkhurst, Ioyce Powell, and Iean Fagnan. Over a hundred of the girls played basketball. Bowling was an equally popular sport. In 406, Carol Gallisdorfer held first place on the Honor Roll throughout the year with an average of 98.8. Carol won the Iesse Ketchum Medal at School No. 68. Nancy Knochenhauer was second on the Honor Roll with an average ot 97. She won the Iesse Ketchum Medal at School 78. Nancy is active in sports and is also a member of the A Capella Choir.

Here at Kensington, in clubs and societies formed under the sponsorship of our teachers, we learn to work together in order and harmony. At the same time, these activities have shown us how rich and full our lives may become by continued interest in such diversified subjects as music, science, languages and art. They have taught us more about the world We must soon enter, about its people, its progress, the discoveries yet to be made and the hopes yet to be fulfilled. 100 ,....x 'K Q 1 4 I ' :- t , + -if nn n 1' NB iw f' . . .1 v '1 U g..

After months of furious preparation, our labors are over, our book completed. With eyes cz bit dimmed from reading ink-splat- tered copy, we look back in gratitude upon the Work of our advisors and their patient struggles with the temperaments of genius. Contributing to the success of the 1946 Compass were Russell Landgraf, our agile flashbulb addict, the photogenity of the stu- dent body, the efficiency and diligence of our secretarial staff, the Work of K ensington's future Rembrandt's and the super salesman- ship of the advertising and circulation de- partments. Not to be forgotten is the co-operation of the entire faculty and student body, who share our pride in the Compass of 1946 and our congratulations to last year's staff, win- ners of the 1945 yearbook trophy.

Students who could produce a drawing which was neat and fitting to the theme ot the yearbook- The World As We See lt , PHOTOGRAPHY For three years, Russell Landgraf has car- ried the full responsibility for the pictures of school events that make the Compass a pic- torial record ot Kensington's history. From a distinguished guest to a cheerleader in action, Russell never missed a good shot. First Row: V. Lofgren, I. Boutin, A. Brenner, C. Wobig became members of this staff. All the mem- bers had to do much research before they were ready to work on the illustrations. A standard pen and ink technique had to be acquired to have unity throughout the draw- ings. However, the final results prove that all of this work was well worth-while. The results have unquestionably been one ot the reasons why The Compass has been a trophy winner. Now, as he leaves the staff through graduation, the advisors extend to Russell their sincere thanks for three years of hard work and loyal service to The Com- pass. Second Row: M. Knochenhauer, A.

Although the course in Radio was dropped from the curriculum, a great interest in the subject still existed--an interest which springs from the students' realization that radio and electronics play a tremendously important role in our world. Members spent many nights after school First Row: Mary Robertson, Barbara Siriace learning theories whose importance were clearly proved by their advisors: Mr. Haynes and Mr. Hallahan. At the semi- monthly meeting, important topics such as the V-T Proximity fuse, radar, and television were discussed by the advanced pupils, while the theory of radio composition and the use of such parts as tubes, transformers and condensors were explained to the begin- ners. Many enthusiastic members received through this club a background for a hobby or profession in electronics or in the field of radio technology and repairing.

Upon closer ex- amination, we discover that they are mem- bers of the Slide Rule Club measuring the height of the school chimney. During the Wednesday afternoon sessions in Room 104, members learned practical ap- plications of the slide rule, the use of the sextant or transit for measuring heights and efficient methods for solving almost any problem. These problems deal with spheri- cal triangles, congruent polygons, or com- plex logarithms. It is really amazing the uses to which the slide rule is put to by the members. They calculate resultants and velocities for physics, figure out weights and volumes for chemical reactions, determine the capacity of condensers or grid potentials, and compute proportions for geometry and trigonometry. Its members find a satisfaction in the house of mathematics for themselves by probing into practically every last corner of its enormous structure. The understanding and advancement of mathematics will en- able many of them to be future engineers in the unified world of tomorrow. At Blackboard: Iohn Toolen, Donald Ely tVice Presidentj, M.

The A Cappella Choir originated four years ago having an initial membership of eighteen. With the passing of each year, not only has it gained more members, but it has become an impor- tant source ot entertainment at Kensington. The girls belonging to this organization par- ticipate in group singing of the most difficult kind, for it is without accompaniment. Their individual talents have also been displayed in the Christmas Pageant, Variety Show, Some ot the A Cappella Chorus members try out a new number at rehearsal. and again in the St. Patrick's Day program. when a sextet rendered their version of The Low Back Car. Why is the A Cappella Choir one of Ken- sington's successful organizations? There are many reasons. Faithful attendance to after school rehearsals, steadfast attention to the director, friendliness and cooperation. These things, together with the excellent training and guidance of Miss Townsend, are the secrets of their success.

He said, The club helped me to understand spoken German and the background of the people. This year, Henry Haberman presided with I une F eil as secretary. Miss Westerman was the advisor and under her direction, the members listened to the records of beautiful Wagnerian operas and sang favorite songs such as Heidenroselein. Ring1ein and Fruchtlcorb were two games enjoyed by all. At other times in the meetings, the mas- terpieces of Germany's great were dis- cussed.

The importance of our modern library has proved to be many times its Weight in library slips and books. During the day such experiences as- the line up of pupils returning books in the early A.

As the lights dimmed, the prophecies related by Iohn Belle and Malcolm Leslie opened the pro- gram. The spirit of Christmas, accompan- ied by the heralds, presented the immortal carols, Silent Night and Oh Come All Ye Faithful. The angels, garbed in their robes of gold, made a beautiful sight standing on their pedestals around the brightly lighted Christmas tree. Their voices blended in harmony to the hymns of Holiest Night, Ye Shepherds Awake and the ever-beautiful Oh Holy Night. The octet, composed of Milton Kuhn, Bob Wypiur, Peter Deloseph, Doreen Mc- Namara, Alice McQuade, Lois Arnold and Faith Frey, accompanied by the angels, sang the stirring song, And There Were Shepherds. Then came the shepherds' contribution of their talents in various Christmas carols. Bearing magnificent gifts, the three kings, Allen Lesswing, Wil- lard Meekins and Ray Howell, sang We Three Kings of Orient Are, assisted by the huge chorus of mixed voices.

Lalli, a group of en- thusiastic Rembrandts formed Kensington's Sketch Club. The club was open to anyone Whether in the art course or not, the only requirement being an urge to become more adept at sketching. At the inception of this organization it was decided to hold the club sessions each Fri- day after school from 2:45 until 4:45 P. M. Members elected Nellie Karlak to the presi- dency While Doris Graziano Was chosen vice president. Gerald F ies, lanet Liebler, Vincent Michienzi, Doreen McNamara, Ioan Notar, Clifford Waugh, and Pauline Wixon were some of the Kensingtonians who served as models for the group, receiving in exchange for this service many stiff limbs as well as many thanks. The members enjoyed work- ing with Water colors, tempera, pencil and charcoal. Through the patient guidance of Mr. Lalli and diligent effort on the part of the students, each one of the group improved his ability to express his ideas and views of the World through art. The Sketch Club, therefore, proved to be an important factor in the de- velopment of the artistic abilities of its mem- bers as Well as a source of many hours of enjoyment for them in associating with co- enthusiasts.

Such outstanding models included Rose Marie F alter, Gladys Zelasko, Dorthea Panki, Lucille Inda, loyce Arnold and Sf2c F rank Mazurowski. Those who did not wish to sketch, worked on scholastic exhibit draw- ings, meat posters, year book drawings, or any other important work on hand. This little get-together, which Was held every Wednesday after school, proved very enlightening to the members, and will surely be of great use in the near future.

This was induced by the melodies East Side, West Side, to which a chorus of children danced to keep Mike, the cop, from escorting the ragged newsboy to the precinct station. However, Deborah and Rosie, two of the girls, insist upon scrapping and emphasizing it by their duet, I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard. Again keeping Within the antics of the times and to the amazement of the audience, a German band makes its bois- terous entrance, playing the familiar strains of the Strawberry Blonde. The people attracted by this band proved to be none other than the components ot the Barbershop Quartet who harmonized to Moonlight Bay. Through their loitering, they are almost fi- nagled into purchasing the tale of Little Red Riding Hooken from a street vendor. With the approach of dusk, strollers are seen promenading through the park, one of the couples being Molly and her beau, Henry. The happiness of the couples was evident in their pleasing exhibition of singing and dancing to Strolling Thru the Park One Day. As the curtain descended, the audi- ence was already eagerly awaiting the tol- lowing acts.

After an easy-on-the eyes routine by our lovelies, Clifford Otis in the role of the traditional barker of Coney Island proceeded to enlighten the beachers about the entertainment that awaited them. Hugo, the Strong Man: Ted Pollock breaks the wor1d's record! Representative of the mid-afternoon base- ball game was the inimitable Ulcie Peters giving a hilarious preview in pantomime. Soon followed Beatrice Day who held the audience entranced with melodious tunes about the harassed Hwoiking goil. To top off the high-pressure salesmanship, a class of Hugo, the strong man, demonstrated its rhythmic calisthenics. Of course, romance was not lacking, as Mike proceeded With his Merry Oldsmobile to Win Molly from the unsuspecting Henry. Then, as the Barber Shop Quartet sang a fond farewell to the tune of Good-bye, My Coney Island Baby, the curtain descended leaving the audience with an almost realistic essence of the salt Water.

At the request of Mrs. Malone, the Quartet once again blended their voices with I Had a Dream, Dear. Presently a party of entertainers, including Miss Florabellef' a talented dancerf Miss Jennie Lind, the famous songstress,' and Miss Morris, the gifted xylo- phonist, Whose performances enthralled the guests, arrived. Further entertainment was furnished when the famed Floradora Sextette, in colorful array, gave an excellent rendition of Tell Me Pretty Maiden. As the orchestra drifted into the strains of the Merry Widow Waltz, the couples led by Molly and Mike glided onto the floor to set the stage for the finale. With the music changing to After the Ball ls Over, the dancers slowly left the ballroom, leaving Mike and Molly absorbed with each other's charms. At this point the elderly Mike and Molly, now Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, end their reminiscences and the curtain falls.

The annual water carnival, which has be- come one of the schoo1's most exciting tradi- tions, this year took the form of a water circus. All the color and spectacular attri- butes of The Big Top were provided in a two-hour show that presented girl swimmers as water acrobats, trained seals, tight rope walkers, clown divers, aerialists, Aquestri- ennes and in a sensational exhibition of difficult stunt and precision swimming en- titled, The Aquacade. Amusing murals framed in the big win- dows of the pool added to the humor of the water funfest. They depicted side show freaks and a quaint menagerie. One of the most acclaimed acts was a sailboat routine with the swimmers carrying the sails in their hands throughout a long and involved Water pattern. The sails were colored red, white and blue and in the finale they sailed down the pool in a tri-colored formation. The tight rope Walkers astounded spectators as they literally Walked down the Mr. Warren, as the Barker, watches the Finale of the Water Circus pool as if on a tight rope, balancing gay parasols in both hands and gaining motiva- tion from a trick knee and foot action. An- other unusual event featured electric lights tied to the swimmers' arms. A Gay Nineties race showing how the teen-agers of the turn of the century competed and a Mardi Gras balloon finale which showered the pool with multi-colored balloons, cascading from pa- per bags hung in the ceiling, concluded the spectacle. Outstanding stars of the carnival were: Dale Mex, lean Kleasen, lean Barrett, Betty Hennig, Helen Schindler, and Josephine Hol- lerand.

Affzleflks In youth athletics play a most vital part, developing sound bodies, creating Worthy habits, and estab- lishing ideals. Therefore, it is fitting that a large part of the time in youth should be spent in athletic programs. Although We may forget a geometric proof or an algebraic derivation, We can never forget the games We have Won, the prizes We have taken, and the heroes We have cheered. An enjoy- able pastime today, athletics are preparing us to participate in the game of life tomorrow-building an intellect capable of meeting the challenge of that game. 1 - df if -K if X, A 126 1111.1 1 1'2 T ...., , ..f-4 1' 1 'j1.QgN,, l ....

September, 1945, came and school was postponed a week. During that week, Ken- sington's veteran Cross Country Team started training over the hill and dale course at Delaware Park. Sparked with the return of its Captain Tom Freitag and lettermen Leigh Brassaw, Bob Webber, Bob Wypuir, loe Ridolfi, and Les Zielinski, the team set a difficult schedule for the newcomers, Don Ronowski, Vince DiLallo, Emilio Corbelli and Earl Hawkins to follow. In the first meet on October 11, Ken's Harriers did what was expected of them and took first place with Captain Freitag leading the boys home. Between October 11 and 18 Monty and Tom got their heads together and concocted a scheme by which to fool our arch rivals Bennett and South Park. As a result, on the 18th, Kensington finished 5th with a total of 100 points. First man in for the Knights that day was Bob Zemke who was later nosed out for number 10 berth on the All-High Team. Bob is only a sopho- more. Watch him next season. The day of the big meet arrived and it rained right up until the time of the race.

Our first victims, Technical, fell 26 to 6 under the powerful running of Bechtel and Hughes, deception of Kareken and the sig- nal calling of Hurley. South Park was also downed by a large margin the next week 19 to 7. Bechtel opened the scoring by romping 42 yards off tackle. Kareken made it 7 with a dropkick. Our camouflage became more noticeable as the game progressed. Hughes skirted end for 33 yards to make it 13 and Hurley plunged the line for 4 yards to make it 19. After a Week's rest, our team showed more vim, vigor and deception than ever by downing Seneca 20 to 0. Again Bechtel scored first, his swift legs carrying him 40 yards around end. Kareken made it 7 with a superb dropkick. Kareken's chance to score came next, so he sneaked over from the 1 yard line to make it 13. Hughes came through with the largest run of this day by speeding 58 yards for a touchdown and Kareken converted with a dropkick. The Knights reached the height of their season when they swamped East 25 to 0. East almost gave up as they watched the Knights streak past the goal line. Hurley started the scoring with a 10 yard end run, after which Bechtel went ll yards off tackle to make it two touchdowns.

Well at least we tried was the consensus of opinion around the school. The team appeared to be strong as the season opened. Time wore on and our hopes of a winning team dimmed and finally faded into obscurity. Our team was good, but the opposition always seemed to be a little better. Fred Bechtel and Dick Ball sparked the team through the whole season both taking honors as high scorer several times. How- ever, their efforts would have been in vain BASKETBALL SCORES had it not been for the wonderful coopera- tion from center jerry Kraft and players Shelly Klein and Bob Loftus. Many of these boys will be baclc next year. Misfortune was strewn in our paths from the very outset. The Ken quintet lost a close contest to a heavily favored McKinley, 37 to 43 after leading 24 to 21 at the end of the half. Again we lost to Burgard in an over- time 40 to 41 after tying up the score in the last half. However, the picture is not as dark as it might seem. We did beat Hutch, Grover, Emerson, and Technical. The basketball team deserves a great deal of credit for never giving up even when it seemed as if there were nothing to fight for.

Kensington Kensington Kensington Kensington Kensington Kensington Kensington Riverside Hutchinson Lafayette Technical East Bennett South Park for 28 13 13 18 35 21 48 Swfinmlhg One of the most exciting and profitable swimming sea- sons in the history of Kensington was chalked up on the 1945-1946 record books as the Knights of the Green and Gold colors tallied six wins and one loss. The wins came early and engendered over-confidence. The losses came late in the schedule and were disastrous to our hopes ol once more bringing the Syracuse Cup to our trophy case and All-High championships to our mermen. The lesson learned in the defeats, however, was one of the most val- uable ever brought home to Kensington's athletes, em- phasizing the sage axiom of boxing-never to let down your guard. The measure of a champion is to be able to deliver better than his best when victory is a grasp away, Coach Warren hammered home to his team. Cocky over easy early wins and the label of undefeated the boys forgot that the road to success is paved with hard work and when the crucial moments came they lost by the inches that score as heavily and bitterly as the lengths. Despite defeat the season was replete with thrilling competition and the deciding engagement with South Park was one of the most exciting swim duels ever waged in the city. The All-High meet indicated that the Kensing- ton team lacked individual stars and owed its brilliance and ability to close team-work. With an excellent group of good Iuniors as a backlog and Chuck Baldwin and several of the mainstays back next year the past season remains as one of the most beneficial seasons for the natators. Lessons learned this year will be put to good use in the coming year and the 1946 veterans can take satisfaction in conditioning the champs-to-be. SWIMMING TEAM First Row: I. Catozzi, G. Newman, C.

McMinn 130 ' x Tennis As the 1946 season approached, the prospects of the tennis team were none too encouraging because of the loss of five major lettermen from last year's cup-winning team. However, our coach, Mr. Millard, succeeded in shaping up a team which proved to be a threat to all opponents. Captain Mel Weigert and Don Brown, both major let- termen of last year, were the nucleus of the team, play- ing first and second singles respectively. The vacant berths on the team were filled by newcomers in the following positions: 3rd singles, Milton Kuhn: lst doubles, Elmer Iahn and Howard Hockf and 2nd doubles, Iohn Langerman and Gene Chenowitz. Aided by the advantage of playing the weaker teams first, the Knight netmen gained an early lead which was instrumental in determining the final standing ot the team. Victories over our Williams Cup competititors, South Park and Bennett, were the highlights ot the sea- son. Interesting to note was the unusual manner in which we gained third place in the final standings. Although East had defeated us 3-2, the total number of individual matches that we won exceeded their total by one, thus giving us third place by a nose. We feel confident that next year's team, aided by the experience of the past season, will gain an even more enviable position. TENNIS TEAM .-- A we 2 --..

The impressive victory of the Knights on May 29 gave our coach his fifth consecutive leg on the coveted cup and his fifteenth tally in seventeen years. The Knights harriers started out strong with an overwhelming victory over South Park. Here, our potential All-High men scored first places in nine ofthe eleven events. Key men of this meet were hurdlers Ioe Corbelli and Ioe Stenger: milers Capt. Tom Freitag and Leigh Brassaw and relay men Ioe Corbelli and Emilio Corbellif Paul McDonnell and Vince Di Lallo. These same men, plus Bob Wypuir, Pete Ciambella, Dick Guyette, Art Marnmott, Matt Copolla and Jerry Witt carried the team to like victories in the triangular meet with Hutch and Mas- ten and the pentangular meet with South Park, Bennett, Tech and East. fContinued on Page 1847 lst Row: D.

This little pin symbolizes four years of active participation in such sports as bas- ketball, volleyball, badminton, baseball, swimming, and riding for a total accumula- tion of 500 points. The first step toward this achievement is the Freshman tour inch letter, tor which 150 points are needed. Another 150 points in the Sophomore year are necessary for a six- inch letter. A Iunior receives a seven inch letter with 100 points and finally in the Sen- ior year, after accumulating 100 additional points, one is presented with the Gold K. This year 46 girls are receiving this award, and as we look back at our four years at Kensington we thank the gym teachers Miss Seymour, Miss Rich, Mrs. Aydelotte, Miss Witczak, and Miss Cole-the swimming in- structors Miss F elser and Miss Maclllheney and the riding advisor Mrs. Fink for help- ing us along in our athletic ambitions.

From Freshmen to Seniors they rallied together under the guidance of our two new gym- nastic instructors Miss Strasser and Miss Cole. The girls not only acquired knowledge of the fine points of volleyball but also the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and keen competition. After many enthusiastic practice periods in which all the girls participated, four class teams were chosen. Team captains elected were: Seniors-Claire Kropelin, junior- Louise Grohman, Sophomores-Ioan Hezel, and Freshmen-Carol Weiss.

Under the supervision of Miss Cole and Miss Felser every Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the girls learned to pitch, catch, bat and duck the numerous baseballs that were flying around. After much practice, even our new Freshmen be- came skilled at the game. Though class teams are not yet chosen as the Compass goes to press, many girls have become outstanding at the practices. Some ot these are: Seniors, Leona Golden: lun- iors, lane Ciaschini: Sophomores, Dorothy Stanek, lean Barrett and Ioan Hezel. Our outstanding Freshman is Marie Kasprzalr. The baseball season is not yet over, there- fore we do not have the results of the intru- mural games. We find the Sophomores seem to be the most likely possessors of the cov- eted title, Champs .

Before them lay several weeks ot instruction and practice, to be climaxed by the play-oft games. These final, highly competitive games among teams chosen by participating girls of each class, decided that the championship was to go to the Seniors whose captain was Claire Kropelin. Captain lean Scheuerle's Iunior team lost one game, the Sophomore team with lean Barrett as captain lost two and the Freshman team, Whose captain was Rosetta O'Brien, lost all three of their games. Other members of the victorious team were Theresa Harrigan, Leona Golden, Ger- aldine Healey, Dale Mex, Iune Iordan, lean Kleasen, Ioan Marks, Ruth Murray, Marilee Panke and Margaret Ryan. Many bangs and bruises were acquired by some ot the over-zealous players, but a good time was had by all-winners and losers alike.

In this sport, the girls have a better chance to obtain a little personal glory. The requirements of the game are a rac- quet, a birdie, a great deal of energy, and a knowledge of the rules and procedure of the game. The first three of these require- ments were brought by the girls and the last was acquired under the instruction of Mrs. Aydelotte during the twelve after-school practices. Later, there were tournaments held by the 97 girls who had registered and by the usual process of elimination, there emerged eight girls in the four Winning places. The team in fourth place consisted of lean Kleasen, and Dorothy Stanek. Nancy Beenau and Ianet Liebler ended in third place. The sec- ond place team was made up of Gloria Paolini and Bernadette Napierala. Those who attained first place after expending a great deal of energy and acquiring even greater skill were Esther Szymanski and Hildegarde Tenbult.

In each of these alleys the girls were divided into teams which in turn played against one another. One of the outstanding teams consisted ot Lorraine Heinrich, Geraldine Simon, Betty Rusa, Alta Whartf, and Doris Valentine. Some of the highscorers at the Kensington alleys were Theresa Vargoviclc, Ioan Keitsch, Lucille Gartzlce, Dorothy Henning, Donna Kron, Ianet Haag, Pat Kinney and Evelyn Gleason. The 1946 Bowling Champion was Theresa Vargoviclr. Her high score was 175. Her average for about 30 games was 150. Under the instruction of Miss Strasser many girls developed an interest in bowling that, we hope, will stay with them.

If you aren't, they are a short-cut to an aching back. A group ot- 100 girls turned out for tum- bling this year. Under the guidance of Miss Cole, the girls were divided into different groups, according to their ability. The ad- vanced group was made up ot girls who had mastered such difficult stunts as head springs, chest rolls and wall-ring on hands. BADMINTON I First Row: F. Skok, H. Schin- I dler. C. Hiscutt, L.

Aberhorn 6'17ls' Swlhrmfh The Kensington swimming season this year began with a bang. In the fall there were so many swimming that there wasn't even a place to jump into the pool. Although the crowd subsided somewhat, the enthu- siasm for all swimming events was greater than during any other year. The most im- portant events were the choosing of teams and swimming the races. There were so many good swimmers that there was much difficulty in choosing the members of the class teams. The Seniors finally finished victoriously by beating the Freshmen 39-27, the Sophomores 39-28, and the Juniors 45-30. Other scores were juniors 28, Sophomores 37: Sophomores 34, Freshmen 27: and Iuniors 34, Freshmen 33. The event that caused the most excitement was the Iunior-Freshmen meet. Practically everyone was rooting for the Freshmen because they hadn't won a meet up to that point and they came very near upsetting the favored Iuniors. Of the Seniors, five were on the team throughout their four years and these were Dale Mex, Carol Lawrie, Helen Lang, lean Kleasen, and Helen Schindler, who contributed large- ly to their team's winning the championship four years in succession and much credit is due to them. In her Freshman year, Helen Lang overcame all opposition that was put up against her, including Mae Beck. Mae was a Senior, and she had never bee.n beat- en before. Since Helen entered Kensington, no one has ever defeated her, and that is a record few can attain. The champs, besides always winning, were also consistent in their choice of captain, having elected Dale Mex for this distinction all four years. There are a set of Iunior twins, Lila and Ioan Aberhorn, who really deserve mentioning. After trans- ferring to Ken this year, they tool: the school by storm and always cleaned up in the baclcstroke event. ln the major teams, they were on opposite teams, and Ioan won out by a very close margin, but they were both far ahead of the other two swimmers in the event. At the end of the class meets, the best swimmers were put on two major teams which were very evenly matched. These teams had twenty of the most outstanding swimmers with Dale Mex as captain of the lContinued on Page 1723 KX' ,J- I l ., ..,'f.., C byjyju V 'G ju? K! fsfvj M. Facklin, D. Bonnas, I. Haag, F.

Even Buf- falo's Weather didn't stop the Equestri-Kens from having their usual good time. Every Thursday or Friday the beginners, armed with liniments and rubbing alcohol, joined the old timers at Runser's Academy for a trot through Delaware Park. The can- ter back accounted for the beginners' stiff muscles, but nevertheless all returned to learn more under Mrs. Fink's and joe Run- ser's expert guidance.

The desire for quality, for fine products which would raise the standard of living, has been a motivating force in American progress for decades. Advertising, which seeks to sell these finer products to the people, is a field Whose keen competitiveness is a challenge to the best in American originality and cleverness. Through the support of advertising, many Worthy endeavors have reached success. To the merchants of Buffalo, who have subscribed to advertising space in our yearbook, We owe the existence of the Compass of 1946. '-S 1 'I tmmtllll? f lH ' emu till I 144 A + 2 : ,,.'

Hughes smashed over from the first to make it 19 and Kareken went 7 yards off tackle to end the scoring. As the next game approached, there was much speculation as to the outcome. But our boys proved too much for the supposedly strong Burgard team, as they overcame the opposition 20 to,0. Bechtel's passing ability came to light as he passed 40 yards to Hurley for touchdown number two. Kareken sneaked over from the one foot line for the third touchdown and passed to Corbelli for the point after touchdown. In the last game of the regular season, the Bennett jinx went to work on us as we succumbed to a spirited Bennett team 7 to 25. lack Kareken came through to save us from disaster when he scored on a quarterback sneak from the one foot line just two seconds before the half ended and passed to Ioe Corbelli for the point after touchdown. We battled McKinley on Thanksgiving Day for supremacy in the city, but had to take second place because we lost 12 to 19. Kareken scored in the first period on a quarterback sneak so we led 6 to 0 at the end of the first quarter. ln the sec- ond quarter, Bechtel scored on a long run off tackle to put us ahead 12 to 7, but in the last half McKinley scored two touch- downs to win. Especially to be noted this year is the speed and deception of the backfield as they ran from the T formation master- fully. Those runaway heroes of the line charged like lions and blocked like de- mons to clear a path for the backfield. lack Kareken's dropkicking is not to go unnoticed. Thus, the season ended with Kensington in second place. Bus. TA. 7924 Res.

The honor of scholastic achievements was secured by Lois Arnold, our class- mate, Who in her Sophomore year as- tounded everyone with a yearly average of 99.1 Z. I Ruth Stunkel, Pat Palmquist, and lean Boutin did art Work for the Compass which gave them a start for larger projects the following years. Numerous other Sop- homores also donated their time in order to construct a yearbook which ran close to the winner of the Western New York In- terscholastic Press Association trophy. Thus we accomplished a successful se- cond year at high school, and as we left, the teachers sighed deeply and wiped their brows, hoping we would be better scholars next year. October, 1946, having enjoyed one ad- ditional month of vacation, we retraced our steps to the portals of Kensington to begin our sojourn as upperclassmen. Nov- ices we were, but it did not take us a long time to acquire that strut and careless manner which distinguishes the upper- classmen from the lower. Immediately launched into a program of work and homework, we, nevertheless, found time to watch the superb perform- ances of the football team which was ably supported by Kevin Cox, Iohn Belle, lack Kareken, and Ford White. Tom Freitag won honor by being named for all-high in cross-country. On December 7, Kensingtonians paid tribute to the mothers of sixteen boys, alumni of Kensington, who had given their lives in World War II. The unsubstantial winter weather pro- vided many distractions. What fun we had as we snuggled under our blankets and Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow as we blissfully listened to Clint Buehl- man's No school today! In the field of sports once again, the Syracuse Cup came to Ken for the second consecutive year, but not without the aid of such champion swimmers as Kent Buyea, Louis Cassiol, Ioe Catozzi, and Bob Ohlheiser. We were also happy to see the tennis award take its place in the trophy case. Ken's victory in track for the fourth consecutive year and Emilio Cor- belli's place as all-high man in the relay, heaped up more honors for us. On what are the gentlemen in the audi- ence concentrating so deeply? On the scenery? On the orchestra? Uh-uh! On Marky? Ah! Yes! Who can forget the debut of graceful Marky Stockman in Ken's annual spring show, Rhapsody in Black ? No son of the deep South Knot even Senator Claghorn from the South, the deep South, that is! could have been more authentic than our own Kevin Cox, Mr. Interlocutor, Others who contributed their talents were Barbara Foster, Ro- maine Gerlach, Betty Gottstein, Geraldine Healey, Maggie Ryan, and Milton Kuhn. Iuniors and suffrage! When we had ex- ercised this privilege for the first time, the results showed that this year's ivy plant- ers would be: President, Milton Kuhn: Vice-president, Margaret Ryan: Treasurer, Robert Ohlheiserf Secretary, Gloria Aprile,' Girls' Marshal, Claire Kropelin, and Tom Freitag, Boys' Marshal. Under the capable direction of Mrs. johns, Willie's Lie Detector became a memorable play. Wasn't Bob Thuerck's performance as a woman-hater convinc- ing? The acting of the other members of the cast, Rae Ann Speidel, Ann Gianadda, Marie Prazmark, lane Williams, Ford White, and Ray Howell was also com- mendable. Following this, we retired to the gym which had been comouflaged by green and gold streamers for a prom which has gone down in history! Inspired by the music of Bob Seib or possibly by the after school dancing classes, the men left the walls to their own supports and were to be seen occasionally dancing with the girls. The close of exams and the school year showed that Lois Arnold had won the Iunior Attainment Medal. We returned from an energetic summer with renewed hopes for a tranquil world: we were intent upon doing our share to- ward maintaining peace. Ioytully we moved in and took over the first floor, residence of the distinguished Seniors. tContinued on Page 1767 155 Congratulations C L A S S O F 1 9 4 6 Your diploma represents an achievement of which you may well be proud!

NAVY MEANS T0 ME CContinued from Page 281 through the opaque, rolling Waves, her large guns protruding ominously into the sky. It means the overcrowded transport darkly silhouetted against the moon, car- rying men and implements of war. It means the deadly mosquito boats, small, destructive fighters: the ships crippled beyond repair at Pearl Harbor: and the sister ships who avenged the sneak attack, ships like the Arizona, the Missouri, and the South Dakota. It means the vessels inscribed in our textbooks: the Bonhomme Richard of the Revolution, the Constitution and the Essex in the War of 1812, and the first ironclad vessels the Merrimac and the Monitor of the Civil War. Furthermore, our Navy means a uniform -one that is worn proudly by every member of the service. It means the snowy white hat perched precariously on the gob's head lending him a nonchalant airy the dark bell-bottoms helping to accent his sea walk the carefully polished shoes- mirror clear as the heels tap out loud staccato beats as he jauntily walks along. Finally the Navy means a source of pride. It means the inspiring words of john Paul Iones during the battle between HMS Serapis and the Bonhomme Richard: I have not yet begun to fight or the message to General Harrison from Oliver Hazard Perry during the war of 1812: We have met the enemy and they are ours. Two ships, two brigs and one sloop. It means the loyalty of the men toward their ship, their superiors, and their country. You've got to think the captain is a combination of Iehovah, Superman and your father. In conclusion, seapower is the key to empire and fortunately we in America possess that key. All of us should be thankful for our men of the Navy who sacrificed their all for us. In return we should support them and pray for them. The sailors' own hymn, best expresses these sentiments: Eternal Father, strong to save Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bids't the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee, For those in peril on the sea. 162 Congratulations To The SENIOR CLASS from the GIRLS OF 463 TO THE CLASS OF '46 YOU'RE TO BE CONGRATULATED oN THE WAY YOU GRADUATED SO HERE'S TO LET YOU KNOW YOU HIGHLY RATED - - - WITH THE BOYS OF 104 TO THE GRADUATES OF 1946 Compliments of Room 455 Congrcrtulcriions to the Class of Congratulations to the Senior Class! 1 9 4 6 AND BEST WISHES FOR from THE FUTURE ROOM 111 FROM THE GIRLS OF 239 TO THE GRADUATES . . .

The one race determining the final champs was Won by the Gold team by a small margin. This meet aroused at- tention from the girls of the school and many came and rooted for their favorite team. About the most prominent diver in this group was Louise Grohman. She was really sensational at that final meet. She floats through the air, with the greatest of ease, This wonderful diver by the name of Louise. There are a few Freshmen that certainly deserve much credit. They are Ann Mc- Garva, Barbara Wilde, Diane Lavetti and Betty Hennig, who is a whizz in the 40- yard free style and who ought to beat everyone with just a While longer to de- velop. Never before had there been so many close races and ties, which was probably due to the fact that the swim- mers were so closely matched. This made for exciting individual races and stirred up interest considerably. CORRUGATED WIRE GLASS . . . GALVANIZED STEEL SHEETING HENRY J.

CLASS HISTORY lContinued from Page 1551 Enthusiastically we followed our Ken Knights to All-High Stadium that we might encourage them to get that goal or hold that line. Hats off to the boys who placed first in our League. And many congratu- lations also, to Monty's Cross-Country team which carried home the Columbia Cup. Already Miss Scanlon had recognized the favorite pastime of the Senior girls- talking! December 7 . . . Lois Arnold, Ianice Cheeley, Claire Kroplin, Kevin Cox, and Robert'Ohlheiser reviewed the progress of World War II from 1941 to 1945. For the last time, we beheld Kensing- ton's traditional Christmas Pageant. About the same time, Claire Kropelin was to be seen lugging mysterious packages to her locker every morning. To bedeck her locker door with signs of Christmas cheer was the purpose of carrying these bun- dles. The interested bystanders will vouch for her artistic ability. Members of the Senior class presented a world-wide radio broadcast celebrating George Washington's Birthday. Kensing- ton's own Mr. Winston Churchill !alias Kevin Coxl Icomplete with cigar and specs l was among the eminent speak- ers of the day. To the numerous teas and acquaintance days trooped many of our classmates eager to inspect the colleges which they hoped to attend. We wonder-was it this, or the food, or the veterans, that attracted such droves? Talents abound at Kensington! With such a display of talent by Helen Atkins, Iune Burmeister, Ianice Cheeley, and Marky Stockman, how could our variety show not have been a success? The swing band's smooth rendition of Star Dust and Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief can best be described as in the groove. Happily we adhered to the barker's cry, Come one, come all! Do not miss the Gay Nineties Revue! Our greatest expec- tations were fulfilled. We watched with pleasure the performances of the outstand- ing characters-Maggie !Mol1y Malonel Ryan, Pete !Mikel Ciambella, and Ann Gianadda in the dual role of Miss Bea- trice Day and a street vendor. We were amazed at her version of Little Red Rid- ing Hookinf' Others who will never for- get promenading in the rain from window to stage door under umbrellas are: Lois Arnold, Helen Atkins, Marky Stockman, Carol Young and Kevin Cox. Lucky Delores Kolb!! No nylon queues for her. She chooses to win her stockings by investing her pennies in service year- books. When Rena Perosa picked the lucky number, there was an ecstatic squea1 from the back of 162. Delores had won the nylons raffled by Miss Scan- lon in l62's Compass campaign! Announcing the class officers of 1946. After much deliberate deliberation, we in- augurated Allen Lesswing, Presidentf Marky Stockman, Vice-president: Aaron Adams, Treasurer: and Ianice Cheeley, Secretary. William McNeil was chosen Boys' Marshal and Ann Gianadda, Girls' Marshal. Now, as our fourth and last year closes and as We view in retrospect, our Shcool life, we can forget our groans and grum- bles and appreciate the counsel and aid and valuable assistance bestowed upon us by a willing faculty.

Ori December 7th, the A Cappella Choir participated in a Pearl Harbor Day program. For the first time in its history, this choir was accom- panied by the orchestra, singing the all time favorites, White Cliffs of Dover, White Christmas, and Remember Pearl Harbor. With the coming of Easter, the girls again appeared as an unaccom- panied choir. Blending four ranges of voices in melodious harmony, they sang the ever beautiful Ave Maria, Liebes- traum, by Liszt, In Ioseph's Lovely Gar- den, and the refreshing Happy Song, by Del Riego which is so significant of spring. Thus We see Kensington's A Cappella Choir, versatile, inspiring and indeed wor- thy of applause. MR. LOUIS ROSENFIELD 3109 Bailey Avenue Buffalo 15, N. Y. PA. 9695 ALBERT BRADLEY SYRCHER, O. D.
