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.

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.
