Miss Strickland's troupers presented the comedy, The lns and Outs, and Mrs. Hyman's mothers meet faculty sewing classes put on a fashion show. A piano solo was given by joan Bernhardt. Mr. Chassin concluded the program with remarks on educational aims at Kensington. At 8:30, student exhibitions in the pool and gymnasium delighted the parents, who visited with the teachers later. Following the interviews, refreshments were served in the cafeteria. Executone Experiment . . . Pioneer Project in Education Miss Walker and Miss Ma- loney feel that their unseen pupils at Meyer Memorial Hos- pital have become an integral part of their classes. Emma Sue Rankin, Fay Harris, and Ellis johnson are freshmen and take Economic Citizenship. joan Orbin and Colleen Westmiller, juniors, study American His- tory ll and English lll. These pupils keep up their school work while recovering from tuberculosis in Meyer Memo- rial Hospital. The Executone enables them to recite and to participate in all classroom activities. The students in the classes are making Kensingtonians of these pupils, although none of them are from Kensington. After each assembly or special event the students from the classes write letters to each of the hospital stu- dents, sharing with them the pleasure of their experience at school. Each hospital student has purchased a Kensington COMPASS. A blow-by-blow description of each athletic contest is given them while classes are passing. The Executone experiment, a project in which Kensington has pioneered among western New York high schools, gives these convalescent pupils a sense of belonging and a delightful contact with the outside world as well as a chance to continue their high school education.
