Kensington High School - Compass Yearbook (Buffalo, NY)

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

DEDICATICN CHARLES J. 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.
