ENGLISH Seated: L. Strickland, R. Culliton, l. lohns, A. Scan- lon. M. Belknap. D. Flierl. M. Frink. Standing: N. Werner, R. Ranallo, M. Stewart, R. Newman, M. Mack, I. Iohnson, M. Kennedy, A. Maloney, L. Belden. ENGLISH! Does your predicate noun agree with the verb or do you have a lagging participle? 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

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-. R5 as M3 ss CLINIC ETHEL ARMSTRONG Nurse LIBRARY VERA LANE Librarian 12 I

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. Haynes, H. Albing. MATHEMATICS: It a plus b minus 12 equals minus l, what does a equal? Prove that the products of the segments of two intersecting chords of a circle are equal. 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. MATHEMATICS Seated: V. Mayer, L. San- fleet, M. Larrabee, M. Mc- Gee, A. Creahan, N. Lar- rison. Standing: M. Steudle. I. Wall, A. Conners.
