LIBRARY: This is the focal point of knowledge at Kensington, a reference room for teachers and students alike. 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.
