SUENIOR OFFICERS . ' All ,gn . 'I .riff f i 1 Q. , ,fi 4 1 CAROL STEVE Vin-Pruidmt Carol, one of the finest dancers ever to grace the portals of Kensington, is also a sports enthusiast, enjoying volleyball, tennis, and swimming. 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.

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
