MONAN Principal APPOINTED SEPTEMBER, 1947 We, the graduating class of 1948, proudly dedicate this issue of the Compass to Mr. Charles J. Monan, our new principal. Through his influence, Kensingtonians have brought victory and honor to our school and have upheld high standards which our scholastic posterity will find difficult to excel. Every student at Kensington indeed appreciates his abundant kindness and his willingness to extend a helping hand to one and all, as Well as his keen participation and contagious enthusiasm in all school activities. These have guided us to an even more prominent position among Buffalo high schools than we previously held and have made Kensington known throughout the nation. Kensington has become the envy of all high schools. With- out the support of Mr. Monan, the pages of this book would not be filled with the glory of our recent achievements. FCDREWCRD In this Compass, We are presenting a record of the mind and the life of a student at Kensington. With the aid of modern symbolic design, pictures, and words, our book records thoughts in a bewildering variety, thoughts of Work, of recreation, and of enter- tainment. We show images of our friends, our faculty, and our school. We reveal an ear for music . . . an eye for art . . . a mind and heart open for understanding . . . a consciousness of the passing of time and of our Wide range of choice. We suggest noble qualities . . . honesty, liberty, and restraint, truth, freedom, and perfection, self-reliance and self-respect. We have attempted to give an impression of an abstract idea an idea slightly mystical, like a dream, full ofour ideals, our aspirations, and our plans. i Y. xx gfj WNUU11'1Ull'11'11'11l1U1U11'l1'l1'1K'1W11llK'11'1W1Wlwlwlwllij ' I1 I1 R 1 xx! , , XX A ,X in X- 1 1 Y X fs f- H- ', '.

Q ' 9 1 1 ADMINISTRATICJN Our administration is one of the highlights in the record of life at Kensington. We see Mr. Monan, beaming with pleasure at our many achievementsg Mr. Chassin, striving to improve our attendance recordsg Miss Kammerer, working diligently to meet the printer's deadlineg and our respective teachers, patiently attempting to prepare us for exams. Assisting us in our troubles and indecisions, rejoicing with us in our joys, the faculty will always constitute a vital part of our high school memories. 'ex GTC eff cfv A record of good administration: of those who plan wisely for us, guide our activities, encourage our efforts and applaud our successesg who help us to develop self-reliance and a sense of responsibility, thus preparing us for our place in the contemporary world. The ollice is truly the focal point in the lives of Kensington students. All day long, Miss Kammerer, Miss Natale, and Miss Edwards answer our questions, listen to our messages, record our marks, and hand us the lunches we forgot to bring from home. From the office come the bulletins we listen to at roll call: There will be an assembly tomorrow . . Here the bells ring that govern our daily routine, here is the source of admit slips and assign- ments to classes, here, too, in all those filing cabinets, is the record of who we are and what we have done at Kensington. MARY C. KAMMERER Adminirtmtivc Anirmnt ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY JOHN N. CI-IASSIN Arfixtant Prinripal An integral part of our life at Kensington is Mr. Chassin, our capable assistant principal. Among his many duties, he works with us to achieve our fine attendance record. Whether we see him in his orhce, talking over our prob- lems with us, or in the cafeteria supervising the lunch hours, or enthusiastically cheering our teams to victory, his interest in us and our welfare and his loyal support of all our activi- ties are always evident. They are part of our present and will be Well-remembered when we, too, have joined the alumni, for whom Mr. Chassin is now serving as faculty sponsor.

GUIDANCE PROGRAM The present guidance program at Kensington was introduced at the beginning of the school year in September, 1947. The conference room was designated as the guidance office, and the three counsellors immediately set in motion plans for this newly organized service. They visited the various study rooms to explain the program to the pupils, inviting them to drop in for a friendly interview to discuss their plans, interests and problems. At an early faculty meeting, the program was also presented to the teachers, who received the plan enthusiastically. Then the counsellors began a series of private interviews with the freshmen, with whom the bulk of the guidance work was to be done during the first year, giving information and helping them to adjust themselves to high school life. As soon as the first marking period was over, the guidance department added to its program the interviewing of pupils who had failed two or more subjects, in an attempt to discover the cause, and effect improvement. In the meantime, the counsellors were also busy collecting material for an occupational file of pamphlets, books and other literature to assist the pupils in their efforts at career plan- ning. For those interested in attending colleges and special schools after graduation, a large number of college catalogs and school brochures were made available. These have proved very fContinued on page 156j CAREER DAY On April 16, 1948, the Guidance Department sponsored a Career Day for Juniors and Seniors. The program, with Mr. Monan as chairman, was designed to assist upperclass students who must soon choose the profession or occupation they wish to follow. Students saw a very informative film entitled Finding Your Life Work and heard four guest speakers, each representing a different field. Dr. Joseph P. O'Brien, Gastroenterologist of the Roswell Park Memorial Hospital, spoke on the professions. Industry was represented by Mr. Richard L.

In addition to the many drawings and designs required by their courses, their days are filled with the posters and signs and assembly decorations that are such a colorful part of life at Ken. HOME ECONOMICS Elizabeth Meath, Catherine Hyman 12 Davison, L. Haynes, A. Gianturco, G. SCIENCE: As Freshmen, we all study a basic course in General Science. Some of us elect to delve deeper into the mysteries of gravity and osmosis, to spend our time amid the test tubes and formulae. We are all aware of the vital part that science plays in our lives today. HOME ECONOMICS: Patterns and colors and fabrics and styles absorb the attention of the girls in sewing classes. They learn what to wear and how to make itg lessons that will be of great value whatever their future careers may be. MATHEMATICS Seafed: V. Mayer, M. Steudle, M. Misercola, A. Creahan. Xtmzdmgs G. Druar, A. Connors, M. Larrabee, M. McGee, N. Hayes. MATHEMATICS: No guessing in these courses! No debating, no imagination per- mitted! Two plus two forever equals four and you might as well agree. These are the courses that teach our minds to think clearly and reason logicallyg training that can be profitably applied to many problems in our everyday lives. HOME ECONOMICS: Whether it's ham- burgers or Hollandaise sauce, you have to know how! Ken girls in the Home Economics course learn all about foods and serving meals and preparing menus. They also study household management and child care, courses essential for our future homemakers. Mr. Pinkow and Miss Townsend MUSIC: Some like it popular, some like it classicg but all Ken students learn to know and enjoy good music. Happy are the days when the band or orchestra or A Cappella Choir en- tertain us in the assemblyg and happy are our music majors in their World of scales and rhythm and harmony.

ENGLISH: From the Odyssey to Hamlet, from parts of speech to parliamentary law, English is part of our daily life. For four years We struggle with double negatives and split inflnitives, we progress from simple sentences to essaysf and, ultimately, we acquire the ability to speak with reasonable correctness and to appreciate our great literature. COMMERCIAL: Great is the demand for the services of our commercial students. Assembly songs to be mimeographed, letters to be vvritten, Honor Rolls to be typed, envelopes to be addressed, alphabetizers wanted in the orlice . . . they have indeed an active role in the life of the school and benefit greatly from these opportunities for practical experience.

SOCIAL SCIENCE: In these classes we learn LANGUAGES: By studying French accents, how our own land grew and prospered, we Spanish vocabulary, Latin grammar, and Greek learn the history of other countries, we discuss verbs, we are not only acquiring knowledge statesmen of the past-'ftheir wisdom and their which will be helpful to us in our future voca- errors. We, who have already known one great tions, but we are also attaining a greater under- war, should try to learn from these lessons how standing of foreign people, their customs, their we can prevent future world conflicts, traditions and their ideals.

Here we come with our numerous questions, assignments and reading lists to ask Miss Lane's help in our search for information. INDUSTRIAL ARTS: Hammers banging, machinery roaring, boys moving to and fro . . . it may seem like turmoil and confusion, but actually it is a scene of order and carefully planned work. Under the guidance of Mr. john McMahon, Ken boys learn how to transform crude materials into many useful articles. They develop skills which will serve them well in the future.

During our four years here, we have come to appreciate the advantage of being a high school student. However, we are proud that we leave behind us a line record . . . a record of success in many fields. We, the class of 1948, as we leave Kensington, hope that this record is but a preview of what the future holds. QW, X 5 A record of the mind of the Seniors: their bewildering variety of im- pressions, mental and emotional, their activities night and day, with plans and dreams for the future. They will develop into housewives, business and professional men and women, scientists, inventors, explorers, and statesmen. SUENIOR OFFICERS . ' All ,gn .

Her amicable per- sonalit and ready smile have won her ARTHUR NEHRBASS Prcridcnt Art is a very versatile fellow, for he is not only an enthusiastic orator, but a convincing magician and an actor as well. His charming personality and cheerful dis sition have won him our admiration andjo friendship. Incidentally, he enjoys nothing more than Miss Steudle's Eleventh Year Math Class. W ,1 .I- JOAN MANN .fzrrztary Vivacious joan has won a name for her- self at Ken through her hilarious perfor- mances in the skits by the Public Speaking Classes. Off the stage, her interests are more serious, for she especially likes many fyfiends. As proof of her po ularity, we only need to know that she has been twice elected an officer. .,. , f GLORIA WIETIG Girlr' Marshal Gloria's sparkling personality and ready smile have made her very popular around Ken. Journalism and dramatics are her favorite fields-that is, when she is not busy outlining history for Miss Dickman. An honor student, Gloria is strangely attracted to third year law students at the University of Buffalo. BERNELL DOWSE Treafurer Bernie's determination and persist- ence, make him a good choice to fill the post of class treasurer. When not wrestling dues from the senior boys, his favorite pastime is spending hours at his solid homework. His greatest weaknesses are short blondes, Cliff Otis, and Mr. Gian- turco's fourth hour chemistry class. 1948 Rachmaninoff and history. However, she admits that hot music really sends her. JOHN STEN GER Bay' Marilyn! On the football field or in the class room, Johnny rates high with us. Although he is an honor student, he confesses that history holds no joy for him. Drinking coffee, ice skating, and loafing occupy some of his spare time. Miss Belden's assignments take up the rest. , -s -149 flu Xi I f-' lfx A it 'll Y I 6. 9' 5 'll G+ Uhr ' y T 9 gl., mmullll iiilf N S T N?w ,, ft, wb 0 l IASMLA J 1 ,t f 1,1'EN i Vx ti TO THE SENIORS: Another year has rolled round and busy preparations on all sides point to com- mencement day as a crowning event of the school year. For many it will prove the eventful day in their lives since it marks the commencement of their careers as citizens in a world that is calling for the best that an honest, upright, and worthy citizenship can produce. In bidding God-speed to the hundreds of boys and girls who have completed their preparation at Kensington High School I am embodying in that wish the sincere hope that a spirit of fair-play in all life's dealings, a keen sense of loyalty to the highest ideals, and the badge of personal uprightness will continue to distinguish them in the future as it has so strongly characterized them during their high school years. The recollection of one's high school days forms one of the pleasantest of memories and who is there that would not gladly relive them? While no man can recapture his youth yet it is given to every man so to frame his life that the lofty ideals of his youth will, through his faithful adherence to them, become for him the sure inspiration of his future success and happiness. Your Alma Mater is justifiably proud of her graduating class of 1948. The hopes of the entire faculty accompany you and together with the citizens of this community they congratulate you and rejoice with you and with your parents in your happiness. That you will unfailingly measure up to the fair promise of your high school years is the confident wish of Your Friend and Principal ' 341-1g CHARLES J. MONAN 21 GEORGE L.

May honor ever guard thy open portals, G Thy wisdom's torch shine on and light our way. Let voices raise to sing thy praise. Oh, Alma Mater always dear, With courage strong to thee We pledge allegiance, And onward strive for Kensington. 55 - LX ff ,ft This Kensington diary, written for the enlightenment of future generations, is the eye- witness account of the invasion of Ken High by the Class of '48. The narrative begins at school several days after the frosh stormed this important base of education. October, 1944: Although our occupation of Kensington began a month late, we arrived bursting with enthusiasm to make the most of our conquest. Bewildered at first, we soon learned to imitate the sophisticated upper-class- men and it was even said that Chuck Schwender carried an Ancient History book so no one would think him a mere Freshmen. Our first important event was the Freshman girls' Halloween party Cno men allovvedj Everyone had a wonderful time, devouring tons of cake and gallons of cider and being enter- tained by Carol Steve, Hildegard Tenbult, and Carol Ludwig. Novembefa' For their first creative effort, the prodigies of 406 presented Thanksgiving with the Best Family. Jackie and Elisabeth Moore were very convincing as twins, while Ruthie Bayard was certainly a feminine counterpart of Red Skelton's mean widle kid. Not to be outdone by the girls, the Freshman boys worked hard on the football field to help win fourth place for Kensington in the Harvard Cup League. Bob Donohue became our first major letter winner, thus bringing glory to the Freshmen. December: For the first time we witnessed Kensington's traditional and very beautiful Christmas Pageant which etched a lasting picture on our memories. Among the Freshmen taking part were Sue Jones, Alice Quigley, Elaine Looze, and Guy Hopkins. March, 1945: This was truly a month of recognition for the Freshmen, for our own Chuck Baldwin not only won his major letter CLASS and made the All-High team, but also was acclaimed a sensational new swimmer by the sports reporters! Next came our festive St. Patricks Day pro- gram. Outstanding in this were Cliff O'Waugh, Max O'Hering, and Richard O'Howell. May: On this month's calendar came Kensing- ton's own Minstrel Show, Rhapsody in Black. Among the hilarious characters one was the never-to-he-forgotten and particularly gruesome gold fish eater. The gold fish seemed very much alive and squirming and many of us gasped with horror. Our own personal pride in this production was Shirley Walter, Whose xylophone playing was definitely Uterrific. june: As the year drew to a close, we learned with pride that George Massman and Jack Martinke of 306 had sold 522,850 in War Bonds. After a great deal of cramming, we managed to glide through our examinations with Joanne Hanna emerging as winner of the Freshman Attainment Medal. Sepfember, 1945: After a pleasant vacation, we returned eager to assume our new roles as sophomores, tormentors of the poor freshmen. Immediately, we adopted the customs of the upperclassmen such as leaving lockers open, copying our homework, skipping second roll call, and forging library slips. October-Novemben' Complying with the demands of our teachers, we settled down to our dreary round. However, the fall sports soon absorbed a fair share of our time and attention. Vince ,G Ni Q06 HISTORY DiLallo and Bob Zemke helped bring the Columbia Cup to Ken while on the gridiron Bob Donohue, Bob Wilde, Frannie Kareken, and Bob Loftus showed what power really is. December: At about this time, various clubs were inaugurated in which the Sophisticated Sophs eagerly participated. Henry Haber became Vice-president of the German Club, Guy QHopalongD Hopkins distinguished himself in the Riding Club and Richard Williams survived the Slide Rule Club. For the first time, the Com- pass staff took on cub reporters among whom were Joan Gracie, Chester Owczarzak, and Robert Dombrowski. fanueujf-Februeugf, 1946: Adequately defended by our painfully acquired knowledge, we met our foes, the midterm exams, made them ours, and again looked to the lighter side of school. With the aid of Bob Gsell, Roy Stuhlmiller, John Golden, and Chuck fthe fishD Baldwin, a successful swimming season closed with Chuck attaining All-High honors. March-AprZl.' Sure and will anyone ever forget our annual St. Patrick's Day assembly with Alice Francishjanice Eggert, and Bessie Chambos dancing a merry Irish Jig? Spring sports soon claimed attention as Art Mamott, Vince DiLallo, and Fred Urso proved that it could be done when they brought another Scalp and Blade trophy to Kensington. Leo Pacanowski, Dixie Lash, and Bob Wilde displayed power both at bat and in the field as our baseball team completed its season with another Cornell Cup practically in the trophy case. Mezy.' And remember this? Hear ye! Hear ye! Come one, come all, to the gala Gay Nineties review! shouted Cliff fthe barkerl Otis as Don Qthe barberb Nichols crooned and Art Cthe loved Nehrbass whispered sweet nothings to Molly Malone. june: All too soon came June, the month that everyone seemed to dread. Why? Exams, of course! ! Feverishly, we crammed to make the grade, with Joanne Hanna winning her second attainment medal. As we left for vacation, the teachers sighed in deep relief, at the same time grimly anticipating our return as upperclassmen. September, 1946: With a most arrogant and dignified air of superiority, we returned from our summer vacations, for we were, after all, upperclassmen now. Perfect examples of finesse and poise, we greeted our fellow classmates who, with equal graciousness, slid down the banisters to salute us. OCI'0b67'.' The fall sports season opened success- fully with Captain Vince DiLallo, supported by Bob Zemke and john Visone, leading our Cross Country team to victory. In football, Bob Wilde and Bob Donohue injected outstanding power into our T formation. November-December: At our Thanksgiving Day assembly the A Cappella Choir presented a program of beautiful hymns which were both solemn and impressive. Shall we ever forget how we just couldn't get enough of George Aberhorn's tender tenor voice as he sauntered down the halls singing, Open the Door Richard! With the strains of the Hallelujah Chorus echoing through the corridors every morning, we became aware that the Christmas season was approaching. Of course, high above the rest of the chorus for the traditional pageant, we could detect the mellow voices of Audrey Krull, Sue Jones, and Don Nichols. cC07Ifi?illt'Lf on page 14Xj VALEDICTCRY June 28, 1948 We, the members of the class of 1948, are filled tonight with a joy of accomplishment- a joy that stems from the satisfaction of a job well done. Our happiness, however, is not an unmixed emotion for tonight we are bidding a last farewell to our Alma Mater. To the teachers, who have been both an inspiration and incentive to us, we wish to express our heartiest gratitude. We thank them for their fine examples of citizenship and selfless service. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Monan, who in the short space of ten months, has won a firm place in our affections, and who by his fine leadership and example has made this one of KCUS1HgIOU,S most successful years. To Mr. Chassin, whose sympathetic advice and counsel has for many years molded better men and women, we express our deepest gratitude. We wish to express our sincere appreciation to our parents Whose love and devotion have made possible this, our graduation night. And let us not forget Mr. McDonnell, who though not physically present tonight, is with us in spirit. His memorial is not only the high school that he organized but the thousands of boys and girls whose high ideals he formed during the ten years he was principal of Kensing- ton High School. As we stand here tonight at the parting of the ways we look back over the four years spent at Kensington and our memories are flooded with the happy events that have marked those years. We call to mind many things, little things, things that being missed, will leave an emptiness in our lives. There is that all pervading school spirit so evident wherever Kensing- ton students congregate and never more so than at interscholastic contests. There is that fine accord between teachers and students, and I need but refer to Junior and Senior Days as out- standing among other individual memories. 1 But, we must not linger over-long in reminiscing. Tonight is Commencement Night and the future lies before us. Many of us having completed our basic education will go on to college, others will take their place in the world of business. Kensington has given us her best, she has prepared our way. The responsibilities of the adult must begin to weigh upon our shoulders. Our parents have carried the burden overlong. We are living in troubled times, when the world situation is dark indeed and the road to peace is blocked by many obstacles. It is true that we have been trained to be self-reliant but self-reliance shows forth best when it is mindful of those who are less fortunate. In conclusion, let me bid a fond farewell to all those whom I have mentioned as most deserving of our heartfelt gratitude. In behalf of the class of 1948 1 bid goodbye to all the boys and girls of Kensington who will move up to take our places and carry on the prized traditions of this school. In my own name I bid farewell to my fellow graduates and express a prayerful hope that a kind Providence will ever be with us in all our undertakings. ARTHUH NEHRBASS, JR. 58 CLASS WILL Freshmen and sophomores and juniors and such Never know nothing, but seniors know much. So we are here to bequeath them some knowl- edge, To leave them some tricks that they won't learn in college. Hallways and fountains, those places of fame, Deprived of our presence, will not be the same. Listen, you juniors, and note what we say, And Kensington High School won't know we're away. People who do things is what you will be, I-ley, Forty-Niners, you listen to mel Fmsrz We bequeath to our successors, the faith- ful perpetuation of the sniper tactics used in snipping mirror strings, the ringside seats in assembly, the sixth hour marathon from 162 to the cafeteria, the surreptitious knitting in the Beckies study hall, and last but not least, our dila idated textbooks to our Junior successors to be used only for opening their lockers. SECOND: The seniors' ticket sale ability for financing Mr. Monan's Expansion Pro- gramme to the forthcoming gold rush of the Forty-Niners. This of course, to be aided upon every opportune occasion by the proper utilization of that potent pet phrase, Let's go, we can do it! THIRD: If the above mentioned precedents are loyally supported by you, we begrudgingly renounce our claim to the following: Ann Flick's collection of unpublished lyrics to Mr. Pinkow. Leo Pacanowski's political aspiration to Dave Warsocki. Joanne Hanna's Washington Guide Books to Carol Gallisdorfer. Cliff Waugh's thousands of hours of synco- pating rhythm to Robert Shanley. Suejones' Irish brogue to Catherine McIntosh.

In the following pages you will see a complete record of the Classes . . . Who they are, what they are like, the things they have accomplished, and what they hope to achieve. 1 XY! 9 gr' ig A record of the classes: of who we are and how we look and what we have doneg of the things that fill our days- books, problems, classes, homerooms, fun and friends. As our stature increases, so our minds develop, our interests broaden. 1 i l JOHN THOMPSON, Prerident Jack Thompson, president, has won many friends at Ken because of his modest and unas- suming ways. He participated in football and baseball and was a very active member of the basketball team this year. The outdoor type, he enjoys camping and traveling. Besides participating in many sports, he maintains a good scholastic average. SHIRLEY HARRISON, Secretary Our smiling secretary has a care free attitude with which she has won many friends. Although she welcomes short periods, Miss Druar's math class holds her undivided attention. Shirley would much rather spend a leisurely weekend eating steak with mushrooms and dancing to Harlem Nocturne than a rainy night pondering over a passage of Cicero. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Seated: Augusta Schultz, john Thompson .S't4nding: Shirley Harrison, Jack McMinn AUGUSTA SCHULTZ, Vice-President Gussie Schultz, our vice president, is a popular gal around Kensington. Not only does she rate high scholastically, but she also takes part in several after-school activities. In her spare time she practices her violin, and swoons to the music of Vaughn Monroe. She also con- fesses a liking for classical music. JACK MCMINN, Trearurer 1948's Junior Class Treasurer is that most genial gentleman, Jack McMinn. jack is well known for his athletic prowess, having major letters in both tennis and basketball. American history is his favorite subject, but he admits that French accents are not for him. His taste in music varies, according to his mood. JOAN TOLAND, Girly' Marshal Joan Toland, who has a smile for everyone, is well liked by all. She is an honor student but confesses that doing homework is not her favorite pastime, and wishes that her books were a bit lighter. Joan likes swimming and is inter- ested in bowling, even though she doesn't always score a perfect three hundred. JACK KASMAN, Boys' Marshal All our admiration and praise goes out to Jack not only for his excellent scholastic achievement but also for his winning personality. We find him an excellent speaker as well as a wizard with figures. Taking a second look we see that the brush cut is his favorite hair-do this season. Jack Kasman, Joan Toland LET'S GO! WE CAN DO IT! Displayed on posters and repeated in assem- blies, this slogan, Mr. Monan's motto, has now been adopted by the entire school. It truly represents the spirit which has prevailed at Ken- sington this year. Inspired by these words, we DID: Win the Harvard Cup in football. Have the largest sale of football tickets on record. Break the national swimming record. Hear this news carried from coast to coast on the Inside of Sports , a Mutual Broadcasting Program. Capture every place on the All-High Swim- ming Team. Win the Syracuse Cup in swimming. Win the Press Association yearbook trophy. Win the Americanism Essay Con test. Hear our A Cappella Choir sing St. Patrick's Day songs on WEBR and besides . . . We DID have the best attendance record of all the academic high schools.

LIFE IN 462 Having passed the bewildering Freshman year and become well acquainted with the school, the girls of 462 started out in autumn, eager to participate in the various activities. Judy Cerajewski, Lorraine Barrett and Mary Meissner, acting as cheerleaders, prepared us for the exciting football season. Among the many who enjoyed sports, Natalie Ferringer played on the Sophomore Basketball Team and Gloria Berney on the Volleyball Team. Ruth Furlong, Marcia Butler, Mary McMahon, Janet Harber, Jean Meade, Edna Ludwig, Pat Malcolm, Edith Dahlke, and Thelma Luck performed in the Water Carnival.

During the year Margaret Chapman, Marlene Roehmholdt, and Nancy Heuer continuously held high averages on the Honor Roll. Representing 462 in the Compass Staff, Rita Dormann was our capable Sales Manager. Marilyn Ball and Dona McKerman were Com- pass Ad Chairmen and Carolyn Larter was Football Ticket Sales Manager. w This year, at Christmastime, all the students at Ken, at the suggestion of Mr. Monan, wrote letters of good cheer and gratitude to their parents. The letters, composed in the English classes, were written on special stationery which depicted a gay Christmas scene.

FROSH In this year's Freshman class were many out- standing athletes who will in future years be the mainstays of Kensington's varsity teams. Crorr Country: A few of the boys who made the squad were Leigh Reichert, Jerry Label, Carl Roesch, Dave Johnson, Bob McCurdy, Tom Zeibold and Lee Haurik, the only Fresh- man to receive a major letter. Intramural Bu.rketbull.' Basketball made a big hit with the Freshmen. Eight Freshman intra- mural basketball teams were formed and these teams played every day after school. The win- ning team was Otterbein which won all of its games but lost to the Sophomores in the semi- final for the championship. This team consisted S 79 PORTS of Si Lunetta, Eddy Faber, Billy Richmond, Ronald Turner, Dave Johnson, Donald Grampp, Gene Willard, and Don Klein who, because of his exceptionally good playing, was able to participate in some of the Varsity Team's games. Swimming- When Mr. Warren issued his hrst call for swimming practice, he was met by a large group of enthusiastic Freshman boys. Under his guidance these boys practiced every- day and because of this constant practice, the trio of Dick Schmitt, Neil Mahoney and Jimmy Barry were able to set a new Freshman mark for the medley relay in the Kensington pool. Other boys were: Gene Willard, Bob Reinig, Arn Poppenberg, John MacMahon, Noel Eberz, Norm Snyder, and Frank Zanghi, who was the able manager. . . f., , i l l FRESHMEN-ROOMS 304, 306 Botlom Raw: Ronald Sendker, jacques Robinson, Charles Adams, Edward Turner, Thomas Walsh, jack We-ser, William Wallace, Edward Frost, Donald Szen, jack Roneker, Richard Wiesinger, Donald Willingdon, Ronald Rochevot, Elvio Pensalfini, Robert Reinhold.

NOTES FROM 306 HIGH AMONG THE FRESHMEN The consistent honor roll leader among the Freshman boys was Paul Roetling. In close competition were: john McMahon, Edwin Menth, Wolis Barback, and Edward Faber. ARMISTICE DAY Once again the Freshmen of 306 and 304 put on the Armistice Day Program with the follow- ing boys taking part: David Johnson, Henry Tobe, James McGuire, John McMahon, and Richard Wiesinger, who took the roll of an- nouncer. Supplying the music were Conrad Toepfer with his violin and a group of boys known as the Trumpeteerr who played Tenting Tonight. The boys who took part were exceptionally well-versed in their parts and showed the results of the many rehearsals necessary to advance themselves to the poised manner in which they conducted themselves. Mr. Meegan was very fortunate to get such fine material to work with. Their grade school teachers evidently laid a good foundation. Many congratulations, boys, on a job well- done! COMING EVENTS Sometime this Spring, time permitting, we plan to have a picnic. A committee will be chosen and divided into sections-each section responsible for a delinite activity such as trans- portation, food, games, prizes, etc. Last year's inauguration of the Annual Frosh Picnic met with such whole-hearted acceptance and success, that nothing can keep us from trying to dup- licate it. ROOM 403 Room 403 is represented in many fields of endeavor. Peggy Volk brought honor to the room by attaining first place on the Freshman honor roll for two quarters. Mary Ondrejka was also an honor student. Karleen Wheelock was a baton twirler in the Marching Band, of which Janet Fogelsonger was also a member. Delores Ferguson attained membership in the Ad Club, selling S23 worth of ads. Many girls participated in after school sports. Mary Lou Urso was on the Varsity volleyball team, while Jean Schenk went out for badmin- ton. Joyce Williams and Carol Waters became expert life savers, and Linda Vines and Mary Rebhan were in the Water Show. Judy Warsocki brightened up the long study periods during the football season with her singing. At the Freshman Girls' Hallowe'en Party, the room sang a parody on the Whiffen- poof Song , called The Freshman Song. ROOM 463 Many girls of 463 took advantage of the sports offered this year. The first activity was volley- ball, in which Dolores Radel, Rose Marie Romagnuolo, Janice Stellrecht, Nancy Syrcher, Joyce Taylor, Norma Thomson, Donna Miller, Joan Page, and Joan Pepke took part. Basket- ball was also very popular, with 11 girls partic- ipating. Among these were Marjorie Springer, Kathy Sullivan, and Adele Otis. Jean Rathmann, Donna Sutton, Norma Thomson, Anita Mehl, and Joan Page enjoyed swimming and were in the Water Show. Jean Rathmann was the lone bowler of the room, and Joan Pepke the only hiker. Badminton fans were Pat O'Rourke, and Adele Otis. Pat O'Rourke, Joan Page, Joan Papke, Janice Stellrecht and Nancy Syrcher went out for baseball. The representatives of the Compass in 463 were Joan Page, the home-room reporter, and Norma Thomson, a member of the ad staff.

At times I wonder that We were un- daunted by those higher ups . But not even the four long flights of stairs could dampen our enthusiasm for Kensington. I remember the thrill of those first football games-how we cheered. We canvassed the neighborhood selling tickets to support our team. We did our best with Dorothy Moest selling the most. Do you remember the Hallowe'en party? Betty Ely and Betty Healy won prizes for their costumes. Many more happy memories return of all those good sports who took part in athletics. I remember especially Carol Kuhn who was on the freshman varsity team in basketball and volleyball. Suzanne Haun was on the varsity basketball team too. Sue often topped the honor roll in 406. Irene Anastasia was captain of a freshman basketball team. The majority of the girls were in some sport, either volleyball, basketball, riding, badminton or baseball. Rosemary Blersch, Doris La Rosa, Dorothy Moest and Marilyn Kaufhold were some of the outstanding mermaids from our room. My classmates were in other activities too, like the French Club where Doris Bexall, Sylvia Curtis, Marlene Frietag and Mary Hill- man were heard to parlez. Irene Anastasia did a lot of work in the home Ec Club with Eleanor Herring and Betty Ely. They say it's easy to play Chess-that is, Rose Hoeger, Lucille Hoffman, and Rosemary Blersch say it is easy. I remember how much we tried to help Miss Heacock in the various committees we organ- ized. The scholarship committee helped figure averages, the Girls Council helped with plans QContinued on page 1685 FRESHMEN-ROOM 406 Bottom Row: Shirley Choops, Jeanette Flick, Doris Boxall, Bernice Blakelock, Susan Ebert, Evelyn Allen, Margo Morgan, Josephine Bobrowski, Dolores Del Prince, Shirley Furio, Jo Ann Erwin, Hilda Ertl, Gloria Christman, Patricia Hahin, Irene Anastasi, Gloria Earsing, Rosemary Blersch, Kathleen Gasko.

AMONG THE FRESHMEN 1W4 June Mesner, a 404 Freshman of exceptional abilities has been extremely helpful in copying the layouts for our yearbook. She was recom- mended by the Art Editor because of the neat- ness and precision of her work. In future years, her talent will help to make the Compass a success. This annex room was well represented at the Freshman Girls' Hallowe'en Party. Theresa Perry won a prize for having one of the most original costumes, and Marguerite Parise enter- tained the girls by singing and dancing. Mar- guerite later became one of the drum majorettes in the marching band. Master of ceremonies at the party was Gay Ann Bowen, who has also distinguished herself by maintaining a top scholastic average.

ACTIVITIES In compiling a record of life at Kensington, we cannot overlook the many activities which comprise such a vital part of the student's educa- tion. Whether he is interested in dramatics or chess, drawing or debating, mathematics or history, there is an activity for him. Our various clubs and societies, organized under the capable guidance of the faculty, attempt to provide an outlet for our many diverse interests and for our unbounded energy. I vi A754 A record of our activities: of our varied interests, art, music, dramatics, journalismg of our clubs, our assemblies, our hobbies, our services to the school.

The yearboolcs of 1941, 1942, and 1943 brought permanent possession of the first trophy to Ken, In 1945, 1946, and 1947 Kensington again won the award. Ken- sington now boasts two of these coveted trophies and is trying for a third. ADVERTISING STAFF Again the Compass Advertising Staff played an important factor in the financial success of the Compass. This organization was open to anyone who secured an ad. A student who obtained S25 or more in ads became a member of the Ad Club . The student selling the greatest number of ads was chosen as advertising manager. The officers of the Ad Club are Charles Schwender, Room 106, President, Kenneth Barber, Room 209, Vice Presidentgjoan Page, Room 463, Secretary, Jack Schrier, Room 206, Treasurer. No small part of the success of the advertising staff is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Meegan, faculty advisor. 4M CHARLES SCHWENDER Advertifing Manager ADVERTISING STAFF Firrt Raw: S.

Under the able leadership of Miss Dunlavey and their oilicers, Presidente, Rita Willert, Vice-Presidentes, Mar- ilyn Ball and Sally Sturm, and Secretaria, Made- line Onorato, the members soon appreciated the history and customs of Mexico, Central and South America, as well as the architecture and literature of Spain, the land of Don Quixote. Games, quiz programs, movies, and stories have further extended their understanding and knowledge of the Spanish-speaking countries. With the close of the school year the members bid Hasta luego to their friends and eagerly await the meetings of next year. LANGUAGE CLUBS FRENCH CLUB Are you interested in learning something about France: its culture, language, customs, games, and people? If so, just take part in a French Club meeting under the supervision of Miss Tewksbury with President Chester Owcza- rzak presiding. Lorraine Jakubowska is upper class Vice-President, Pearl Barger, lower class Vice-President, and-Ioan Gracie, Secretary. The aim of these friendly group meetings, held every other Thursday, is to add to the students' enjoyment of the language. The students gain a knowledge of French culture and music in a more informal atmosphere than the classroom affords. Also, those no longer in French classes can maintain their understanding of the language. SPANISH CLUB Bottom Rauf: L. Cianconehl. Abrams, l, Anastasi, A. Perino, M. Onorato,-I. Boydo, C. Brown, A.

Upon investigation in Room 239 I found that Wagner's opera, Die Meister- singer, was being presented on victrola records to the students who wished not only to improve the German they learn in class but also to extend their study to the culture, customs, and habits of the German people. At the informal meetings held once a month under Miss Westerman's able direction, games using the German lan- guage Were played, and discussions concerning the literary and artistic achievements of great Germans were a source of Valuable information.

Serious and humorous plays relating to the life of Caesar, Cicero and other famous Romans, slides depicting Roman life, sketches of myth- ological characters, and the working of cross- word puzzles using Latin words have formed the major portion of our programs during the year.

Having learned the Greek alphabet and having realized that the language is vital, cultural, and within the range of their ability, these students mastered and appreciated 'much of the Hellenic culture. Grammar and reading were supplemented by etymology. The students became acquainted with many scientific terms of Greek origin.

COMMERCE CLUB One of the most helpful organizations in the development of essential business-like qualifi- cations is the Commerce Club, whose success is the result of the efforts of Mrs. Jacobs and other commercial teachers. Its members are familiarized with modern office methods, and their standards of performance are raised. At the second monthly meeting, Esther Mierzwa was elected President, Louise Galm- bacher, Vice-President, Jean Cwiklinski, Secre- tary, and Marie Balk, Treasurer. Guest speakers included Miss Mary Louise Nice, a guidance counselor, who gave an interesting talk on Personal Qualifications, and Mr. Omar Lane, a sales representative of the Underwood Typewriter Corporation, who demonstrated an electric typewriter.

It has been a welcome sight to all those Ken students who have ever had the urge to create their own comic characters. Mr. Fisher, director of the club, has had wide experience in this field. Cartooning was a boy- hood hobby, and later he drew cartoons for the State Teachers College newspaper, and still later for Yank, the army weekly. Now he finds time to do cartoons for publication, and his large collection of originals helps the members CARTOON CLUB to improve their own work. Preliminary meetings dealt with simple heads and expressions, then we progressed to stick figures, clothed stick figures, wrinkles in cloth- ing, and girls' head and figure characters, hands, feet, and small detail work. This is only the beginning of the Cartoon Club. Next year we hope to have more frequent meetings and to create some cartoon characters that will merit publication. Officers for 1947- 1948 were James Gervan, President, Mildred Boje, Vice-President, Mary Lou Gregson, Sec- retary, Carol Laird, Treasurer. CARTOON CLUB Seated Finrr Raw: W. Pearce, M.

STUDIO CLUB A vital part of life at Ken is the Studio Club, which met Fridays in Room 250. Ofiicers were: Nancy Beenau, President, Janet Liebler, Vice- Presidentg and Alice Francis, Secretary. Miss Davis conducted several interesting sketching lessons, using among her models Nancy Knock- enhauer, Margaret Bullinger, ,Ioan Coleman, jim Hines and Charles Szfarczak. Sketching however, was only one of the club's activities. The students completed many other artistic projects during the year. Virginia Bernacki, Barbara Borkowski, Robert Enser, Roy Stuhlmiller, Virginia Manke, Carol Galbo S and joan Herman decorated the auditorium for the football assemblies. Janet Liebler and Nancy Beenau constructed the thermometer which was used to measure the sale of football tickets and added to it daily to show the progress of the various classes. Football signs for display in local store windows and Ken's corridors were made by Carol Bullinger, Joan Frankenberger, Frank Mazurowski, Charles Brunner, and Alice Francis. These same students produced large display cards for the Freedom Train assembly in November, and decorations for the St. Patrick's Day program. STUDIO CLUB Firrt Raufsj. Macholz, P. Wixson.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS With the opening of the football season in late Sep- tember, our assemblies began. Those passing Kensington on Friday mornings were often terrified by the unusual sounds coming from Within. However, there was no cause for alarm for the noises were only the cheers of Kensington's student body, spurred on to louder and huskier efforts by our enthusiastic principal, Mr. Monan. At these football rallies humorous skits were presented by the Public Speaking Classes, in which Art fSwamij Nehtbass and 'Ioan CSouthern-belleD Mann earned their claim to fame. The result of our assemblies and incidentally of the ability of our team, was the Winning of the Harvard Cup. We celebrated this victory with a super-special assembly, at which Sherm Wright, Al Watts, Charlie Bailey and Bud Hulick were guests. We quieted dovvn on Armistice Day, when the Fresh- men of 306, temporarily overcoming their stage-fright, presented their traditional program. The next occasion worthy of an assembly was the visit of the Freedom Train to Buffalo. The American History classes presented skits, depicting famous events of the past. Made famous in this assembly were the historic words, Sign, john, sign. At our traditional Thanksgiving Assembly, the A Cappella Choir and the orchestra presented a program ffontinued an page 150g 100 i Bottom Row: L. Ciancone, A. Perino, A. Ridolh, M. Rigo, M.

If you walk into a room some Thursday after school and hear this or some similar expression, you know that Ken- sington's Dramatic Club is in session. The club, composed of all the Kensingtonians aspiring to be actors and actresses, meets every two weeks under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Johns and Miss Strickland. At the first meeting, election of ofhcers was held, with the following results: President, Augusta Schultz, Vice-President, James Gervan, and Secretary, Theresa Batyra. At one of the subsequent meetings a Constitution, submitted by Arthur Nehrbass, was voted upon and adopted. The members of the club received interesting instruction on proper stage manners. They put on several skits and read some well-known ballads. The pantomimes performed by the mem- bers were as interesting as they were hilarious. KENSINGTON COLLEENS I.. Rutltowski, B. Wilde, G.

LIBRARY Kensingtonians develop a greater interest in the cultural aspects of literature through their intelligent and frequent contacts with our well- supplied library. By reading books on various subjects, the students are able to acquire a deeper and more complete understanding of current problems and historical facts. Miss Lane, our capable librarian is assisted by monitors, who learn the functions of the library by working in it themselves. They also have the duties of checking the attendance of Our library's faithful visitors, delivering our library slips to the study rooms and aiding the students in choosing suitable reference material. The colorful bulletin board displays, the well- stocked magazine room, and the interestin3.g M IOZ ONITORS newspaper rack, are attractions which add to the popularity of our library and inspire the students to make the best use of the educational opportunities provided there. Any information desired on science, etiquette, philosophy, mathematics, and a multitude of other subjects, can be obtained from our library, which is one of the most pleasant places for study and research in the school. Every year the library monitors trudge many miles and check thousands of library slips. This unceasing service is of inestimable value to us at Kensing- ton. Our sincere appreciation is extended to Miss Lane and her eflicient staff for their Will- ingness to help us solve our scholastic problems. Marlene Jackson and Gloria Botham work at their secretarial duties on the Projection Staff. Fred Michel, one of the StafT's trained operators, shows a movie to a science class. PROJECTION STAFF Here at Kensington, the appearance of one of the projectors in a classroom is a welcome sight to both students and teacher. To the teacher it means that his or her class will be ably instructed by an educational film. To the students it means that they will see a movie that period,fa welcome respite from routine methods of teaching. At the beginning of the year, members of the staff undergo a period of intensive training in the use of the various projectors.

AMERICANISM ESSAY CONTEST As a winner of the annual Americanism essay contest, Joanne Hanna was awarded a trip to Washington during the Easter vacation with all expenses paid through the courtesy of the News and the American Legion. She and the eleven other winners saw many beautiful and historic spots, such as Mount Vernon, the Capitol, Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and the Washington Monument. Of special interest was a visit to Annapolis Naval Academy, where the group was shown around the grounds by AMERICANISM Americanism . . . is the milk for our children and the meat for our laborers.

The high spot of the trip was an afternoon which the group spent at the Capitol as guests of Representative Elsaessar. During the luncheon preceding the afternoon's entertainment, Joanne met such men as Representatives Elsaessar, Butler and Andrews of Buffalo, and Speaker of the House Joseph Martin.

This year the aim of the Home Economics Club was to gain a better appreciation of the American way of life. By working together, playing together and helping others, the mem- bers gained a basis for establishing a happy home life. At their bi-Weekly meetings the girls learned such crafts as making shell and sequin jewelry, stuffed toys, knitted and crocheted articles. Some of the girls acquired new and remunerative hobbies. Visits to the Art Gallery and the Historical Building, fashion shows, teas and parties pro- vided means of practicing social graces in an enjoyable manner. Sewing kits for the needy, an afghan for Red Cross distribution, and char- acter doll Easter egg favors for the Crippled CLUB Children's Guild made us more conscious of those less fortunate. The following officers guided our program under the sponsorship of the Home Economics teachers: Dolores Schroeer, President, Carol Steve, Vice-President, Irene Anastasia, Secre- tary, Margaret Bullinger, Treasurer, Rita Kirk- patrick, Chairman of the Program Committee. Because of increased interest, advanced Home Economics courses such as clothing, Household Management and Home Nursing, and Family Relations and Child Care were popular. A new course in Advanced Foods was added. Here the girls gain additional knowledge in the prepara- tion of food and have an opportunity to develop LlCll1OI'lSII'L1Il0I1 techniques.

The life of a student is indeed a busy one if he or she spends Tuesday afternoons in 209, the headquarters of the Journalism Club. Once the door is opened members are in the midst of a whirl of activity. First there is the business meeting, which is completed as soon as possible by President, Arthur Nehrbassg Vice-President, Gloria Wietigg Secretary, Betty McKenica, and Treasurer, Kenneth Day. After this is over things really get moving. Over in one corner Mrs. Stewart is explaining the importance of knowing the what, when, where, who, why, and how of a news story, and in another, Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Moore is handing out assignments for the school news- paper, Ken Keynofar. This year, much to the delight of everyone, the Keynarar received the new look when the smaller edition replaced the former long sheets. Mr. Demerly, business manager of the paper, counsels the staff on the art of making our paper a financial success. The boys and girls darting out of the room are being sent in search of accurate information about school activities and sports, and those rushing back in are trying to meet a deadline. The journalism Club has proved itself a success both by giving its members experience in writing and by furnishing all loyal Kensing- tonians with news and views of our school and whats going on in it.

For this reason, the Slide Rule Club, under the leadership of Mr. Larrabee, plays an important part in the lives of those students who seek a supplement to their curricular instruction. At the Wednesday afternoon meetings in 104, problems in business arithmetic, physics, chem- istry, radio, as well as all other math problems are solved. On the lighter side matlieniatical puzzles and tricks are explained by the use of a slide rule. By employing a transit, the height of the school chimney was calculated. Besides the actual solving of problems, the members have become acquainted with the history of mathematics and ancient instruments of calcula- tion. This knowledge helps the students not only to solve problems but also inspires them to study higher mathematics. SI,IIJIi RULE CLUB R. I-lc-tiuan, Ii. Lic-gli-I, R. Ilcrgcl, ,I. Slut-Ilx, li.

Off we went to Colonial Radio Cor oration where we saw radios being produced? on an assembly line at a rate of seven radios per minute, rather than taking days to put together a single one-tube set! To trace radio waves back to their source, a trip was arranged to the WBEN transmitter on Grand Island and to the control room and studios in Hotel Statler. FM and television soon became realities rather than just words to us.

A better appreciation of fine music is obtained from the performances which it presents in assemblies during the year. The group is com- posed of a boys' choir and a girls' choir which combine to form a mixed A Cappella Choir. Two of the outstanding numbers of this mixed choir were Oh, What A Beautiful Morning, from the musical Oklahoma, and God Bless America. The first performance of the choir this year was given at the Thanksgiving Day Program, during which the number Come, Ye Thankful People Come expressed the spirit of the day. Other selections were America, by Carey, Songs My Mother Taught Me , and Cheru- bim Song , by Bortniansky. The most awe- inspiring work of the year was The Lord's Prayer, by Malotte, which was sung at the Easter assembly. The 23rd Psalm, Bless This House, Dona Nobis Pacem, a canon in Latin, and Deep River, a Negro Spiritual, were sung in the same program. Honor came to Kensington this year when a smaller group of A Cappella members sang their St. Patrick's Day selections over WEBR on the evening of March 17. The type of singing done by the choir is con- sidered to be the most difficult of all group singing. Each member is individually responsible for his or her own part and both the words and the music must be memorized. The choir owes its success largely to the excellent supervision of Miss Marjorie Townsend , who not only instructs the members in regularly assigned classes but also spends many hours after school giving individual assistance. Choir membership is open to all students seriously interested in fine choral work. ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mr. Pinkow, the orches- tra is one of the best cultural influences at Kensing- . ton. They have contributed greatly to our enjoy- ment of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies, and have also presented numbers on Junior and Senior Day. What would our football rallies have been With- - . . 3. oL1t the rousing music of our band? Under the baton of Mr. Pinkow, they entertained us at assemblies and inspired us to cheer our teams to victory. This year, a marching band, With Major- ettes, was organized and drilled by Mr. Mont- gomery in complicated marching maneuvers. They appeared for the first time in their new green, gold and white uniforms on St. Patrick's Day and marched into the assembly to the spirited music of MacNamara's Band - an exciting event Ken Top: The Maioretres A.

ATHLETICS As the records of Kensington's athletic teams unfold before our eyes, thrills and achievements roll by in staggering numbers. Many of these accomplishments may be forgotten as the future becomes the present and the past, but the lessons taught by interscholastic competition can never be side-lined. Whether our athletes are backs or linesmen, pitchers, or catchers, in the great game of life, they will always be governed by the rules of fair play. Many years from now, when the records are more nearly complete, our boys will be judged not as winners or losers, but rather as sportsmen.

A hard fighting team of veterans and new- comers opened the season by overpowering Tech 34-O. Bob Wilde Qwho also threw touch- down passes to Gary Hoifman and Bob Loftusj, Dickie Ball, and Ed Cromp accounted for the scoring. In a practice scrimmage our fleet fullback, Carl Wyles, suffered a sprained ankle and was replaced by our tremendous tackle, Elmer Jahn, who proved to be the best ball carrier of the season. ln the South Park game Jahn smashed the line for two tallies and fleet-footed Gene Swartzenburg scored off tackle as the Knights were forced to come from behind. The Knights reached the height of their season when they swamped Burgard 31-6. Jahn started the scoring with a 39 yard smash through center, and Swartzenburg swept 9 yards off tackle for the second.

These boys, along with the coming squad, earnestly competed for the key positions, which were attained through friendly rivalry. Every meet in the Syracuse Cup competition was a brilliant victory for our record-breaking Mermen. Our boys embarrassed stop-watches whenever and wherever we swam. One, two, and sometimes three records were shattered in each meet. Although suffering a severely bruised back at the start of the season, our own Churnin' Charley Baldwin broke every city record except the backstroke . . . and even lowered his own records.

KEN BREAKS NATIONAL RECORD The climax of the season came when our big four broke the national 160 yd. free-style record, an event that brought us national prominence, Here's how Joe Cummiskey told the story on The Inside of Sports -a coast-to-coast pro- gram of the Mutual Broadcasting System: Here's one for the swimming fans. It's also a claim for greatness by a Buffalo high school. A few days ago at Kensington High School, Buffalo, six hundred fifty students practically tore off the roof for their swimmin team. Four boys-Hines, Schaeffer, Gsell, and Baldwin- set a new national high school record for the 160 yard relay. The time? One minute, fourteen and one-tenth seconds. It bettered, by nearly a full second, the record set by Roosevelt High School, Des Moines, Iowa, four years ago. Charley Bailey and Sherm Wright, of our Mutual Station in Buffalo tell us the town hasn't been so excited since jimmy Slattery was fightingifor the title. Nice goin', Buffalo! What's next-the Olympics? Two weeks later, the seemingly impossible was accomplished when the boys lowered their own national record to an amazing 1:13.8f1O, bringing new glory to themselves, their team, their coach and their school. It should not be forgotten that Roy Stuhlmiller, a Senior, was the man behind the relay. His efforts were tireless as he viewed the relay's positions, push- ing each man to greater heights and final victory. lk 44 Pk Not only the upper classmen but also the freshmen broke records this year. The freshman trio of Neil Mahoney, Dick Schmitt, and James Barry established a new Frosh pool record for the 120 yd. medley relay by splashing the dis- tance in 1:22:1f1O or 4X 10 seconds under the pre- vious record. In the All-High meet, Ken Mermen established an unheard of record-that of taking first place in every event and second place in every event ex- cept the backstroke. The fighting spirit of John McMahon will not be forgotten by his team- mates. Not once during the 100 yd. backstroke did John lose heart, but fought to the end, only to be touched out by inches of a second place. Kensington is indeed sorry to lose its cup- taking Seniors, who will go on to still greater heights, reflectindg the superb training of Coach Warren. It's har to see boys like Hines, Gsell, Stuhlmiller, Weisansal, Golden and Baldwin leave. Ever since Charley made All-High as a Freshman he has brou ht honor and glory to Ken. His leaving will be tilt by the entire school. This outstanding team in Syracuse Cup history is the result of the conscientious effort and untiring patience of the coach of coaches- Jack Warren. All credit to him!

As the season progressed, Robert Wypiur was forced to drop out, greatly decreasing our chances. But we didn't give up. Under the leadership of last year'sablecaptain,VincentDiLallo,ourteam racticed daily until the first meet, at which the squat showed the fruits of its labor by beating East and Bennett with a perfect score. Vince placed first, followed by veterans of last year's squad, Bob Scamurra, Ted Zielinski, ,lim Reynard and a promising Frosh, Lee Haurik. After another week of practice we ran against Tech, South Park, East, and Bennett at Delaware Park. Our Green and Gold Harriers finished in first place with 34 points. The next race was the crucial All-High meet. Our boys trained hard, but unfortunately one of our top runners, Bob Simmons, became ill. The following runners placed in the All-High meet: Vince DiLallo ff S, Bob Scamurra 10, Ted Zielinski 14, Don Batz 21, and john Visone 2.4. Others who ran were 'lim Reynard, Lee Haurik, Fran Bieber, Art Mamott and Bob Simmons. As the final score was tabulated, we found ourselves in second place with a total of 74 points, following South Park with 69 points.

Shortly after the opening of school last autumn, forty enthusiastic tennis hopefuls, of varied skills, responded to the call of the annual tennis tournament. From this ambitious group, Howard Hoek was acclaimed school champion with Don Miller and Chester Owcz- arzak receiving runner-up awards. In addition to determining the winners, this tournament helped Mr, Millard select the talent for his 1948 color-bearers. Kensington began its title quest this season with three players returning from last year's fifth place aggregation. Captain Howie Hock, our only experienced singles player, held down the flrst singles position while second and third singles were manned by doubles veteran, Don Miller, and rookey Chet Owczarzak. The third member of last season's team, Jack Mc- Minn, again saw action in the doubles, along with Frank Vogle, Jerome Olechowski, Dick Owczarzak, Ronald Blaszkiewicz and Frank Pegrum. Coach Millard selected Paul Peterson to fill the vacant managerial post. Squadmen Roger Laufer, Jim Decker, Eugene Domalski, and Edward Zobrest round out this Green Knight Tennis Team.

It was a favorable year for the Seniors who were victorious in the hnalsg nevertheless, the hard lighting Juniors, the hustling Sophomores and the eager Freshmen will agree it was a fight to the finish for the winning honors.

Every Tuesday, Wednes- day, and Thursday after school the girls met with Miss Messore and Miss Gallagher to better their skill in batting, fielding, and catching. Although the season has just begun, many of the girls are showing much interest and talent for this sport. The softball teams had not been chosen at the time that the Com- pass Went to press, but many girls have become outstanding at the practices. Some of these are: Seniorsfjean Barrett, Dorothy Stanek, and Audrey Krullg Juniors-Dorothea Panke, Diane Lavetti, and Betty Parkhurstg Sophomores- Jane Landseadel, Irene Severino, and Grace Fur- bo, Freshmen-Jeri Keating and Carol Kuhn.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL With Miss Gallagher as their guide, the Freshman girls learned the art of making baskets, how to dribble, pass, and pivot during the eight weeks. The practice sessions were every Tuesday and Wednesday after school. After the Freshmen developed their skill through their many devoted hours to individual and team practices, the Sophomore, junior, and Senior veterans invaded the gym to improve their skill. Under the capable supervision of Miss Messore and Miss Witczak the experienced veterans gained more knowledge of the fast breaking game to provide the keen competition for the final playoffs. On April 9, the finals in basket- ball were held. As expected, the game between the juniors and Seniors was a close contest from beginning to end. When the game was over, the Seniors had defeated thejuniors. The following girls warrant recognition for their splendid playing throughout the season.

With the cooperation of two local bowling alleys, it was arranged to offer bowling to a capacity group. Every Tuesday over 100 girls, dreaming of strikes and spares, swarrned to the Schiller Park Alleys, and each Wednesday, an even greater number of bowlers invaded the Kensing- ton Alleys, also hoping for high scores. At first gutter balls were numerous, but they appeared less frequently as the girls acquired skill under the capable direction of Miss Witczak and Miss Messore. Lois Taylor achieved the highest score of the season-161, while bowling at the Kensington Alleys. Other high scorers at these alleys were: Evelyn Endres, 144gJune Will, 143gJane Stabell, 138, Elaine Cantwell, 129. The five highest games at the Schiller Alleys were bowled by the following, Joan Schneider, 143, Nancy Hoefler, 1375 Marion Vogel, 132, Natalie Ferringer, 127g Arlene Firlik, 127. The bowling program not only provided enjoyment and recreation for the girls, but also brought them one step closer to the Gold K award. SENIOR BASKETBALL Front Raw: D. Westphal, Hezel,J. Duca.

GIRLS' SPORTS BADMINTON One of the activities which proved especially successful, was a course of instruction in bad- minton for the freshman and sophomore girls, in which the joy of playing rather than com- petition received the major emphasis. More than eighty girls responded for this spring activity, with a racquet, a birdie, and a great deal of energy and enthusiasm. Under the instruction of Miss Gallagher, the girls acquired the fundamentals of the game and the knowl- edge of the rules. Five instruction periods were held on Thursdays after school followed by five game periods. The girls are to be congratu- lated on their fine spirit of harmony and co- operation. Karlyn Kaufhold and Doreen Mar- schke showed outstanding ability in the fresh- man group. The sophomore stars were Lois Kolb and Shirley Konerth, TENNIS Every Tuesday and Wednesday after school, 184 girls invaded the gym to improve their skill in Tennis. At their first meeting, the girls listened to Mr. Millard's interesting lecture on the basic techniques of tennis. At the second meeting, Miss Messore lectured on the proper method of scoring, tennis etiquette and tennis vocabulary. After the two lectures the girls began to put into practice all of the techniques they had been taught. At first, more balls were missed than were hit, but with additional practice many of the girls became very pro- licient. At the close of the practice periods, the girls were hoping that the weather would permit them to play tennis out ofdoors. Betty Moyer practices tennis shots.

When the weather permits, the riders meet twice a week to take a iaunt through Delaware Park on their favorite horses of which the most popular are Dynamite, Scarlet O'Hara, Finne- gan, and Rose. The Riding Club is not without social meetings. Our first was the Christmas party at which time it has become a tradition for the girls to donate the price of one ride to the school fund which is used to bring happiness to someone at Christmas time. Before June examinations, our last meeting takes place. We have a breakfast ride which ends the year with a sad farewell to our older members and an anticipating thought of the next year.

FLCRIDA FANTASIE On the 18th and 19th of May, 175 girls, in costumes they themselves made, participated in this year's water show. The script was written by Miss Mack and Jane Mullen. A very pretty mural at the shallow end of the pool, depicting one of Florida's famous orange groves, was painted by Grace Furbo and Beverly Evans. The two beautiful floating formations were presented by such outstanding Freshmen as Mary Urso, Madonna Shea, Anita Lawrie and Dolores LaRosa. One of the acts was put on by a group of Senior and Junior girls who called themselves the Silver Springs Octet. This intricate number was ably executed by Audrey Krull, Jeanne Huck, Carol Steve, Phyllis Belcher, Nancy Sedler, Joan Neely, Pat Lund, and Ruth Bayard. Two of the acts vied for first place as the loveliest of all the formations. The first of these was a balloon number worked out with big red balloons and the other was done with candles that made us think of the reflection of stars in a moonlit lake.

Absent from picture: Jane Mullen and Esther Mierzwa. january-Februagl, 1947: After mid-year, an increase in speed was noticed in theJunior Girls' gym classes. Could it have been practice for Leap Year? March: Even we, as sophisticated Juniors, were impressed by the ability of debaters Joanne Hanna and Art Nehrbass as they sent Hutch and Lafayette to crushing defeat. April: With such mermen as Bob Gsell, John Golden, and Roy Stuhlmiller, how could we help but win that Syracuse Cup? Weren't we all proud when the season ended and Churnin' Charley Baldwin held the title for three city records? After much deliberation and last minute campaigning, we elected Dick Gassman, Presi- dent, Nancy Beenau, Vice-President, Bob Dono- hue, Treasurer, Carol Steve, Secretary. Sue Jones and Bob Gsell were appointed Marshals. May: The musical organizations presented a beautiful Spring Concert in which numerous Juniors participated. Jazz addicts as well as the lovers of Bach and Beethoven attended, for the proceeds were used to finance a War Memorial honoring Kensington's students who died in World War Il. For us, the highlight of the year was Junior Day. We'll always remember Jackie Moore as the doting aunt and Milton Ellis as her nephew in Wisdom Teerla. The day was made complete when we retired to the gym where we danced to the dreamy music of Buddy Mack's band. Everyone had a good time, including the lucky vocalist who danced with Al Kielich. june: Far too soon Regents Week was upon us. At its close, we learned that Joanne Hanna had received her third Attainment Medal. With unconcealed relief, the rest of us found that our diligent study had paid off. And so, as do all good things, ourJunior year ended, leaving many fond memories in the minds of all. September, 1947: Exuberant as only Kensing- tonians can be, once more we mounted the steps of our favorite school, this time as Seniors. Although our spirits were saddened by the untimely death of our outstanding principal, Mr. Thomas McDonnell, we were very fortunate to have as his successor, Mr. Charles J. Monan. We all gave Mr. Monan our fullest cooperation and within the first few weeks We realized our new executive was really one of us. October-November: Let's go, we can do it was officially adopted as the school's by-word during the excitement of the football season. Spurred on by our football captain, Bob Dono- hue, Cwho also led in sales of ticketsD and our football-s irited Mr. Monan, the students and faculty it by turning out en masse, break- ing every attendance record at All High Sta- dium. Our greatly honored, flower-deluged foot- ball team did it by remaining undefeated. Enthusiasm reached its highest peak when we handed McKinley its first defeat in five years. Our Thanksgiving victory over Lafayette was the final touch which brought us the coveted Harvard Cup. Seniors who helped keep the pigskin rolling toward our goal were Bob Donohue, John Beckley, Leo Pacanowski, and Bob Wilde. Cross country runners, Vince DiLallo, Jim Reynard, and Fran Bieber were among those honored during assembly for their many tri- umphs. December: Although we, as Seniors, enjoyed the annual Christmas Pageant, there was a slight undertone of disappointment when the angels failed to Fall on schedule. january-Februeugf, 1948: With Let's go, we can do it fresh in our minds, we left '47 behind and tackled our books with the vigor of a foot- ball player. This unusual display of scholarship lasted only until that tortuous last week of January. After surviving mid-terms, studyhalls returned to normalcy. March: Smartly outfitted in their handsome green uniforms, the band marched proudly down the aisle to open the St. Patrick's Day CCominued on page 1721 Designs in Flowers 466 Doat St, HU by DeWALD jpggjdljffi in EDERER'S FOOD SHOP FLORAL DESIGNING Open .fufzdayr 8:30 AM. to 4 P.M.

Presented for the tenth year, the Christmas Pageant again impressed everyone with its magnificence and splendor. Begora, and 'twas a great day for the Irish at Ken when our local colleens danced the Irish jig. This assembly was expecially gay, since all Ken wore a bit of green and participated in the program by singing familiar Irish tunes. Easter was celebrated in all its glory with the beautiful music of the orchestra and the A Cappella Choir echoing through the school. Especially impressive was the orchestra's rendi- tion of Tschaikowsky's March Slav, and the A Cappella Choir's interpretation of The Lord's Prayer. During the swimming season, we enjoyed many assemblies as a result of the speed of our champion swimming team.

By this time, it was becoming increasingly evident that the guidance program had become too popular and valuable to be carried on in the small conference room. Mr. Monan was quick to see the need. With his usual dispatch and efiiciency, he arranged for the alteration of Room 165 into a suite of offices so that the counsellors might more adequately meet the needs of the pupils. Within three weeks Room 165 was transformed into a large waiting room and three private offices where pupils have enjoyed confidential interviews in a pleasant, fresh environment. This first year of organized guidance has been an extremely busy one. Its success has been due in no small measure to the cooperation of Mr. Monan, the faculty, and the students them- selves. It is the sincere desire of all concerned to establish at Kensington a program of guidance that will prove a model of service and achieve- ment. !lNlV5... Lead Again.

As the next game approached, there wasn't much speculation as to the outcome, but to the surprise of everyone, the East eleven outfought and outplayed us for the first three quarters. In the final period our boys rallied and Went on to a glorious, but ever-so-close 14-13 victory. Next we met the champion McKinley Macks , undefeated for the last five years, having 26 consecutive victories to their credit. We downed them 14-0, with Dickie Ball and Gene Swartzenburg making long runs for the scores. We can thank our hard-charging line for this great victory. During the season, the capability of Captain Bob Donahue and manager John Graham helped carry the team through many glorious battles. The Bennett jinx held no terror for our team, for in the last game of the regular season, our boys swamped the Tigers 13-O.

We battled Lafayette on Thanksgiving Day for the city championship on an ice and snow- bound field. A smooth pass defense was set up that halted the dreaded Lafayette air attack. The action was at a standstill until late in the second quarter when Elmer Jahn exploded 70 yards through the center of the line. Bob Wolf, our ever-ready end, scored soon after, when he stole the ball from Lafayette's quarterback and raced 35 yards. Big Elmer finished the scoring and ended his high-school career with two more tallies in the final period, enabling us to capture our first Harvard Cup.

Other guests were: Earl Browne, coach at Auburn, Alabama, James Peele, coach at U. of B., Thomas Timlin, American Football Conference, Edward Hirsch and Harold Lahar, Buffalo Bills, Anthony Nocero, East Buffalo News Tribune, and Joseph Brown, Buffalo Baseball Club. Captain William Shanahan was chairman of the committee of arrangements and Ralph Hubbell of WEBR was toastmaster. As Mr. Hubbell said on his broadcast the next night: You will look a long time before you find such loyalty as that exemplified by the Kensing- ton business men. Certainly that community spirit will instill in the boys a deeper feeling for their school and their community. Compliments of Parks Commissioner Edward I-I. Hath RAYMQNU5 MILLINERY JAMES H.
