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.
