i . Xl. if IRIS Hsmiucn ll Vz'ce-Presiderzl Besides being a chic little num- ber, lris has an A-l personality which has won for her many friends at Kensington. She has maintained a high scholastic rating throughout her high school career and from all indications, she will someday make an extremely pretty sec- retary. She particularly enjoys Dr. Adler's subtle hmnor. ROBERT GOEMBEL President President Bob Coembel's jus- tifiable popularity is the result of his diffidence and pleasing smile. Listening to Clint Buehl- man in the morning and at- tempting to imitate .lose lturbi on the piano are his favorite pastimes. Bob. the executive type, was an officer of his Ju- nior Class last year. SENIDB UFFICEBS I947 ROSEMARY HEIN Secretary 'flfosiew Hein, our favorite red- head, rates history among her favorite subjects. Her pleasant- ness and efficiency easily ex- plain our electing her Secretary of our class. She likes hot dogs, black dresses and us. We regard her with an affection, reserved for extra - special people. Jfuvltis KIRCHMYER Treasurer Jim's', excellent personality. besides his determination and persistence has won for him not only a host of friends, but also an office. When not study- ing Chemistry, or making up lab reports for Mr. Albing, ,lim can usually be found in the office, straightening up the senior dues with Miss Kam- merer. GLORIA HANIFORD Girls' Marshal As typist, Gloria Haniford is expert, accurate and most ob- liging. As a student, she is intelligent, friendly and takes a special interest in studying copious vocabulary for scholar- ship examinations. Truly con- genial as a classmate and a personality, she is just about one of the nicest girls we know. ,f .

Our foot- ball victories were attained lhrough whose help?-Joe's- He has had the unique privi- lege of being twice a class officer. Likewise he has an inclination toward that famous class of f'Radio wizards.

llIS'l'0RY annual St. Patrickis Day assembly. Just about that time the permanent record cards were for the first time mounted with facsimiles of our fair faces. We'd love to see them now! Under Captain Louise Grohman, the Sopho- more girls, basketball team proved its supe- riority by winning the school championship. All the boys heard about the Indian War Party water carnival and its great success, with Frances Emilio giving her rendition of the Nln- dian Love Callf' The track season rolled around and from our midst Joe Corbelli and '6Bud,' Hughes obtained major letters as well as All-High berths. Babe,' Birrer, Bill Shaver, and Shelly,' Klein starred on the baseball nine. The only Sophomore on the championship tennis team of 1945 was Don Brown who was named on the All-High tennis team. Wasnit it just about then that our gala pro- duction, Rhapsody in Blackf, was in the making? Colden voiced Sophs added to the vim and vigor of the blackface chorus. Nancy Barback, Arlene Bradfield, and George Del- Prince were members of the 5'hot Dixieland band. While we were obtaining ads, drawing, and exploiting other talents for the success of that year's prize winning Compass,', the announce- ment of V-E day on May 8th came through, insuring victory in Europe and a clearer fore- cast for victory in Japan. June came and Lucille Lewandowski received the Sophomore Attainment medal at the grad- uation exercises. The score at the halfftwo down and two to go! With the joyous news of the war's end in August still fresh in our minds, we returned to take our stand as Juniors. Nothing could stop us now that we were upperclassmen. Nothing but homework, that is. Upperclassmenl How we loved that word, and it did not take us long to get used to the rules and regulations of the year, such as leaving the lockers open and acquiring the slow walk suitable to illustrious Juniors. The sports season opened with a bang when Monty's,' Cross Country team brought home the Columbia Cup. ln football the power of Seated: Richard Lock, Carol Ohlheiser, Gloria Hotl- man Smnfling: Donald Ely the MT formation was displayed by such fel- lows as Ed Hughes, Joe Corbelli, Elmer Jahn, and Ted Pollock, and this resulted in bringing many victories to Ken, beside putting us in second place at the season's close. Later in this semester, we succeeded, even with the opposition of the hearty appetites of the Juniors, in bringing quantities of canned food to aid the starving nations of Europe. After examinations, we were able to turn at least part of our attention again to sports. ln swimming such famous men as Harvey Sprowl, Bill Rugg, Len Zielinski, and Don Ryan, brought all but one victory home to Ken. i During our Junior year a glittering review of the Cay Ninetiesv was staged, in which many of our class exhibited their talents. Shall we ever forget the bathing beauties in their stylish suits, or those shy Floradora dancers? The fellows all went to Ted, the strongmanw Pollock, at the close of the review, for help in developing their muscles to match those of 6'Hugo and his pupils. We voted this year, after much campaign- ing by Marcia Burgess, these Junior officers: President, Joe Corbellig Vice-President, Jean Scheuerleg Treasurer, John Daddariog Secretary, Yvonne Schmiedg Girls, Marshal, Lucille Lewan- dowskig and Boys, Marshal, Robert Coembel. One day that will be remembered by all of us for many years is Junior Day. After the pro- gram we retired to the handsomely decorated 'Lgymi' to witness some of the boys actually danc- ing with the girls. Of course, the smooth music of Buddy Macks, orchestra, and the daggers the teachers were throwing at the boys may have had something to do with their dancing. Our Junior year closed with all of us obtain- ing l00 or more in our exams, and with Lucille fffmztinued on. Page 1501
