WE GRATEFULLY DEDICATE THIS BQOK We, the graduating class of l954, are proud to dedicate this year book to Mr, Axlerod and Mr. Hayes, Kensington's co-assistant principals, to express our appreciation and gratitude for their unselfish and unbiased administration. These two noble men have collaborated with harmony because they have astonishingly similar ideals of education. Mr. Axlerod believes that the purpose of an educa- tion is to develop a responsible citizen , Mr. Hayes, that it is to enable one to take a responsible place in a democracy. Mr. Axlerod is happy about his transfer to Kensington last year, he considers it a wonderful experience with the children and faculty. Partici- pating in sports himself and deeply interested in people, he urges students to strive for scholarships, to become identified with the community through political, social, athletic, and religious activities. Mr. Axlerod loves outdoor life, camping, chess, and television and enjoys summer with his family at the lakeshore. He is doing graduate work at the Uni- versity of Buffalo for a Doctorate in Education. We shall always remember the faith Mr. Axlerod has in the modern generation, his belief that we are healthier, better informed and educated, better behaved, and likely to become better persons than our predecessors. All through our lives we shall respect his high ideals and persistently weave them into our pattern of life, Mr. Hayes has been very successful in arousing our enthusiasm for the democratic and social func- tions of our school. His interests lie in sports, records, and young people, his educational pursuits include earning a Doctor of Education degree at the University of Buffalo. Sincerely, he believes that our generation is more generous, enthusiastic, and interested in various activities than his own and is comparably cooperative and willing. All through the year he has been an advisor, an exponent of democracy, and a friend. What we have learned from his examples of indefatigable endeavor, initiative, cooperation, and perseverance manifested by the dances, attractive cafeteria dec- orations, and the formation of a Student Council, we shall practice in the future. We have assumed the responsibilities related to these privileges. This is in accordance with Mr. Hayes' theory of education: The success of our educational pro- gram is determined by the success with which our young people are trained to take their places as morally, socially, and civically responsible citizens in a democracy. To succeed in this aim the school should teach democracy not merely by precept but also by example. When we leave Kensington we will take all our precious memories with us. Among these will be the kindness, helpfulness, consideration, and under- standing of Mr. Axlerod and Mr. Hayes. With their moral support backing our generation we shall face the challenge of life without fear. The words of a man's mouth are deep waters, The fountain of wisdom is a gushing stream. OUR THEME WATER AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MAN THROUGH THE AGES J: ' K NANC INTRODUCTION TO THE THEME THIS YEAR, WATER AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO MAN THROUGH THE AGES IS THE THEME OF OUR YEARBOOK. THE BIBLE SAYS, lN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID: AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS. NOW, AS THEN, WATER IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE TO MAN. LIFE AND WATER ARE INSEPARABLE. LIFE BEGAN IN THE PRIMEVAL SEA. THE MAJORITY OF LIVING THINGS ARE STILL IN THE OCEANS. OUR WORLD IS WHAT WATER HAS MADE IT. WATER CAN BE CALLED THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF THE ENTIRE PHYSICAL WORLD - ACCOUNTING FOR SEVENTY PER CENT OF OUR BODIES. IT SUSTAINS AND NOURISHES ALL FORMS OF LIFE. A UNIOUE SOLVENT, IT IS AT THE HEART OF ALL CHEMISTRY AND INDUSTRY. A LEVELER OF MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS THE VERY MAKE-UP OF THE SEAS, WATER TO A LARGE EXTENT HAS DETERMINED WORLD GEOGRAPHY, AND THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC LIFE OF NATIONS. WATER-MAN HAS WORSHIPPED IT, TOLD TIME BY IT, CONTROLLED IT, MADE POWER FROM IT, DRUNK IT, AND SAILED ON IT. TODAY MAN FACES A SERIOUS PROBLEM - THE CONSERVATION OF WATER. RECKLESS WASTE AND SHAMEFUL POLLUTION HAVE DEPLETED HIS LIOUID RESOURCES. NOW HE MUST CONSERVE OR PERISH. WATER DOES NOT NEED MAN: BUT MAN CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT WATER. SO LONG AS MEN INHABIT THE EARTH, THEIR SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS WILL, IN A LARGE MEASURE. DEPEND UPON HOW WISELY AND HOW WELL THEY CONTROL AND USE WATER. Q O Q Zhu sv ' I ', ' ' fe . 9 .- N ... .

SUCH EFFICIENCY IS PRESENT IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF KENSINGTON. OUR EDUCATORS REMAIN IN THE BACKGROUND BUT LIKE NEPTUNE ARE EVER EXERTING A MOLDING FORCE. WE ARE CONSTANTLY STIMULATED AND ENCOURAGED BY THEIR SKILLFUL GUIDANCE AS WE PASS THROUGH THE TURBULENT STREAMS TOWARD KNOWLEDGE. ON OUR VOYAGE, SOMETIMES CALM, SOMETIMES STORMY, WE LEARN METHODS THAT MAY FACILITATE THE SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS THAT WILL PRESENT THEMSELVES IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A VAST UNCHARTED COURSE, BUT THE WATERS OF THESE STREAMS SERVE AS A MIGHTY FORMING AND ENRICHING POWER. THE STREAMS OF KNOWLEDGE OFFER A LASTING AND CHALLENGING MYSTERY.

Ewing of the city, it follows that needs of children are not everywhere the same. The individual school should be free to develop programs adapted to the popula- tion group it serves. The educational program through which the schools endeavor to meet these objectives should vary in accordance with the dif- ferent needs in various areas of the city. We are very grateful to you, Dr. Ewing, for accepting our urgent call to be shepherd of such a great flock. Very confident are we, that with your rich, varied experience, expert leadership, and wise guidance you will lead us to the green pastures of a secure, happy, and successful future. May God inspire and guide you in this tremendous task! .-.N Q, . ,- Last September, the Board of Educa- tion selected Dr. Parmer L. Ewing to fulfill the duties of Superintendent of Schools. Prior to this appointment, he served as Superintendent of Schools at White Plains, New York, for three years. Dr. Ewing was born in Casey, lllinois. He attended schools there, and received his higher education at the University of Illinois. There he earned his Bachelor and Master of Science degrees. However, his doctorate was awarded to him at New York University. He served in various capacities in the educational systems in Shelbyville, High- land, Alton, and Rockford, Illinois. ln addition to this Dr. Ewing conducted a workshop at the University of Chicago, and taught graduate students at both the University of Illinois and New York Uni- versity. Besides this, he found time to write articles for several publications as well as for the i947 Yearbook of the Association for Supervision and Curricu- lum Development. Dr, Ewing stresses that the educational program in the Buffalo Public Schools should not be standardized. Because social backgrounds differ in various areas 94 5 1 MR.

Work hard at the job of your choice, give generously of your time and enthusiasm to obtain the respect and trust of your employer and fellow workers.

Roberts l A SALUTE TO Miz. ROBERTS Last September Mr. Garnett Roberts graciously assumed the administrative duties at Kensington during the illnesses of Mr. Chassin and Mr. Axlerod. Thirty-four years ago Mr. Roberts began his adminis- trative career in Buffalo, as assistant principal of Masten Park under Dr. Fosdick, and later under Mr. Hersey. He became principal in 1939, and remained at the helm until Masten's closing in l953. Mr. Roberts was then made director of the new center schools. However, in September, he was needed here at Kensington for a period of six weeks. He then resumed his regular position. Mr. Roberts is a man of varied interests. ln his earlier days, he was an avid outdoors man, as well as a coach and golf fan. Now, his main interests are photography and oil painting. A good friend of youth, Mr, Roberts believes in giving every student opportunities throughout his educational career. He thinks the school makes this possible by developing the student. We sincerely thank you, Mr. Roberts, for coming to Ken in our time of need. The faculty and the entire student body salute you and wish you every future success. l'2 . we bf Miss Henrietta Langner, Mr. John McMahon, Miss Pauline Corcoran. GUIDANCE OFFICE This year we welcomed two new girls' guidance counselors, Miss Corcoran and Miss Langner have aided Kensington girls in solving many problems. With Mr, McMahon, boys' counselor, they assist students in planning post-high school education, securing part-time work, and selecting the proper courses of study. Their advice and encouragement have been invaluable. Both boys and girls appre- ciate the services of the guidance office. Numerous students have profited by the interest inventories and mental abilities tests offered by the guidance department. In addition, the counselors have presented expert speakers on various careers, have informed upper classmen of open house pro- grams, and have provided information concerning scholarships in colleges and universities. Kensing- ton's guidance counselors are always ready, willing, and able to serve, Mrs Nntnlv Giiarnatrin, Miss Rita Sinnott, Miss I-lorcnce Lchtlc, Ailrmnistrntivc Assistant.

MISS VERNA WALKER Miss Verna Walker Kensington High School 1937-54 All of us at Kensington who knew Miss Verna Walker will remember her always for her companionship, her thoughtfulness, and the warmth and cheer of her cordial personality. She was never too busy to help her students with understanding counsel and creative ideas. Her guiding hand was willingly extended to stimulate and encourage our individual development. Our beloved teacher lived democracy and taught democracy. To her classes, she brought a wealth of knowledge and an enthusiastic presentation. Her interest in world situations was carried over to her leadership of the Kensington Council on World Affairs and its part in the U. N. Model Assembly in Western New York. Her loyalty to our school was further evidenced by her presence at school functions. The way she vigorously entered into the spirit of every occasion stimulated the enthusiasm of us all. Gladly did she learn and gladly teach. Loyal as Miss Walker was to every phase of school activity, she often let us know how dear her family was to her, an instance being at Christmas time when she mentioned a treasured gift once received from a beloved nephew. For all of us she was A perfect woman, nobly planned, to warm, to comfort and to command.

Very truly yours, The Class ot i954 x 9- Q3 O'ER THE GLAD WATERS OF THE DARK BLUE SEA FRESHMAN YEAR We come from haunts diversified To join in one endeavor, Our tongues are tied, our eyes are wide, 'Twill not be so forever. The first main event in our freshman year was a Hallowe'en party for the girls Prizes were awarded to Dianna Danitz, Marilyn Tropman, Joanne Stockman, Gert Dentinger, Annette Hagen, and Lucy Silvaroli for their winning costumes Pat Kelly was the lucky girl who won the Kensington school ring. Arlene Hartman, Delphine Jarzebinska and Pat Geyer helped to supply us with the musical entertainment. Our first football season brings back fond memo- ries of Mr. Meegan's enthusiasm at our pep assem- blies and the many song lyrics written for us by Mr. Hayes. Ann Butler was the most determined sales girl in the football ticket department. Our first Christmas Pageant dazzled us all with its artistry, and we were proud to recognize in its cast our own classmates- Herman Kuebler, Bob Kelly, Ronald Sobczak and Charles Hoshal, who appeared as rosy-cheeked heralds. Michael Di Pota and Richard Smith furnished valuable assistance on Miss Panzica's projection staff, while Anton Schwarzmueller and Joel Crandall became WKEN technicians thus early in their careers. Even as spindly-legged freshmen we had a fine representation in the field of sports. Many of the boys went out for the different teams. Mermen Gord Reinig, David Koch, Tom Rooney, and Darrell Chalcraft comprised the Freshman Swimming Relay Team, which was All-High. Another freshman relay team was made up of Rich Robinson, Tommy Webb, Jerry McNeil, and Ronnie Russell. These little sprinters also made All-High. Cross Country was another of the sports in which some of the boys participated, with Rog Bock winning a major letter for his tennis playing. Mary Sullivan won a swimming medal, Pat Schrack was on the Debate Team, and Blowtop Hearn will go down in history as one of the out- standing personalities in Mr. Reilly's home room. The boys were not the only ones constantly in the pool. Our girls presented a wonderful display of synchronized swimming in the Water Show. Gert Dentinger, Norma Prell, Sheila Graham, Lucy Sil- varoli, and Gerry Campagnola were just a few of the many graceful mermaids. The honor roll leaders for our first wonderful year at Kensington were Sandra Betz and William Raymond. SOPHOMORE YEAR We chatter, chatter as we go To join the brimming river. Our teachers chide, they're soon decried. We babble on forever. As slick sophomores we started out by watching Dave Eckel, Rog Bock, Bill Roberts and Gary Young represent the school in cross country. When the Yule season rolled around, Dave Eldridge as a shepherd, and John Tita and George Walleshauser as kings showed skill in representing the sophomore class in the Christmas Pageant. As the January exams crept down upon us, everyone buckled down to real study and after the smoke of Regents week had cleared away, Sandra Betz, Dolores Crapsi and Maxine Ralicki were found on top of the sophomore honor roll. We started the new term by seeing Rog Seibert, Ralph Wiepert and Tom Webb perform skillfully on the basketball court, followed by strong stroking Darrell Chalcraft, Dave Koch and Dave Eldridge helping the school splash its way to the Syracuse Cup. Ronald Stockinger proved to be one of the mainstays on Mr. Millard's Chess Team, while Tom Wiegert and Norm Mruk helped keep the Robert T. Bapst Tennis Cup on Ken's trophy shelf. On March l7, when all good Kensingtonians become Irish, Joel Crandall and Arthur Cologgi tooted along in McNamara's Band. Kensington's spring produc- tion was Thornton Wilder's The Happy Journey which featured such fine thespians as Pat Schrack, Marilyn Tropman and Bob Kelly. Pat Schrack went on to win first place in the city-wide Girls' Declama- tion Contest. The fairer sex showed that they also could swim in the Spring Water Carnival. Beverly Burg and Sheila Graham's clown act was especially amusing. As spring wore on towards summer, third base on Ken's baseball team was aptly covered by Pete Catania. Honor roll leaders were Sandra Betz, who was awarded the Sophomore Attainment Medal, Dolores Crapsi, Jeanette Spranz, and Monica Prolejko. THE CLASS OF 1954 HAS VALIANTLY VOYAGED JUNIOR YEAR We slip, we slide, we gloom, we glance, To vie with skimming swallows. We like to dance, so trust to chance - Let Homework seek the shallows. Before we knew it our vacation had drifted by and we were jovial juniors. A few dauntless students - Amelia Del Prince, Paul Storm, William Raymond, Leonard Otminski, and Annette J. Arendt, enrolled in the newly launched Greek class, a two-year-in-one course. The girls' sports activities commenced with basketball displaying the tactics of Joan Mueller, Lois Koenig, and Carol Vann. Dave Eckel emerged from a cloud of dust, leaving his opponents behind, and won All-High Cross Country honors. We restlessly awaited the football season and then responded with enthusiasm to the skit pre- sented by coach Markham and team members Gert Dentinger, Joanne Stockman, and Carol Crotty, as well as the cheers led by Marilyn Tropman and Faye Becker. When the basketball season started, Roger Sei- bert, Donald McPhee, Alexander Papafagos and Roger Bock showed dexterity in manipulating that most-elusive ball. Gordon Reining, Norman Mruk, and Dick Robin- son splashed their way to All-High swimming honors. June exams were approaching when Bob Kelly, as Henry Aldrich, Gary Young, Pat Schrack, Joel Crandall, Lucy Silvaroli, and Marilyn Tropman won everyone's heart in the spring play, What a Life! Shortly thereafter Rose D'Amico and Virginia Sla- winowska gracefully entertained us in the water carnival. Several good infielders-Pete Catania, Roger Bock, Carmen Rossi, and Hudson Schnell, showed what training and patience can do on the baseball diamond. We realized the proximity of exams when our admirable Junior Officers, Tom Webb, Marilyn Tropman, Faye Becker, Gary Young, Barbara Mark- ham, and David Eldridge assumed their duties. Carol Crotty, Gertrude Dentinger, Anton Schwarzmueller, Pat Geyer and Pat Schrack enter- tained at the Junior Day Program. At the long-awaited Prom, King Don McDonald and Queen Gerry Heck reigned over their class- mates for one glorious and unforgettable night. Sandra Betz won her third Attainment Medal, with Annette Arendt, Jean Rich, and Jeanette Spranz as runners-up. We passed the final hurdle, June exams, and anxiously awaited our return in September, when we would be dignified Seniors. SENIOR YEAR Now out again we sadly scan The wide expanse of river. A four years' span since we began - We wish it were foreverl September Song was the swan song to summer vacation. After a ten weeks' absence from school, we entered Kensington as Seniors. We chuckled when we saw bewildered freshmen strolling with great uncertainty through our halls for the first time. We were glad to welcome several new members to our class who had transferred from Fosdick- Masten Park High School and who during the year helped to bring many honors to Kensington. Among these Joyce Cameron placed first in the city in the Girls' Declamation Contest. Daniel Goulding won three first places-the city, district, and zone- for his oration on the Constitution. Kenneth Schneider was winner of the Knights of Pythias city-wide speaking contest. Our own Pat Schrack placed first in the Voice of Democracy contest, while Sandra Betz won third place in the Atlantic Union essay contest. lt was during the football season that Kensington held the first of its after-school dances. This dance, the Beat Bennett Bounce , preceded Ken's game with its traditional rival, Bennett. The Seniors handled the dance, with Don McDonald and Faye Becker as co-chairmen. Cross Country, another fall sport, included as members of the team Seniors Dave Eckel, Roger Bock, and Bill Roberts. With the arrival of the Yuletide season came the annual Christmas Pageant. Featured in this pro- gram were sopranos Phyllis Kolbe and Delphine Jarzebinska, and male voices Paul Storm and Allan Hyde. lt was also during the Christmas season that we held another school dance.

Tonight one phase of our journey through life will end. We have come to a fork in the stream and now we separate to follow the course dictated by our feelings. Our Alma Mater, which for four years has worked diligently to prepare us for the future, must be left behind. No longer will we be able to share the many experiences of high school life, with its joyous victories and sad defeats. Although tonight we may leave our high school experiences behind, many memories have been written indelibly in our minds. We shall never forget the fire and enthusiasm of our athletic assem- blies and the thrill of watching our stalwart teams as they take the field. Ever shall the majestic grandeur of our Christmas Pageant remain with us. Now we reluctantly say good-by, but the memories of our life at Kensington will always be an integral part of our very being. We offer our deepest thanks to our esteemed principal, Mr. Chassin. His wise and enthusiastic words have encouraged us to strive for success and to maintain the high ideals he has exemplified. To our assistant principals, Mr. Axlerod and Mr. Hayes, we extend our sincere appreciation for their inspiration and friendship, which have greatly en- riched our years at Kensington. Our faculty has taught us the invaluable lesson of living well. Educating us has not been an easy job, in fact, it has required, in a sense, wisdom almost as great as that of Athena. The debt we owe the faculty can only be repaid by our gratitude and remembrance, Words cannot express what we feel toward our parents. It can only be said that without their encouragement and guidance we would not be here tonight. The last moments of these enjoyable years are swiftly ebbing away. Four years ago we entered Kensington with certain aims, and now we are leav- ing with new aims and aspirations, During these years our characters have been molded and we have learned to live with our fellow man. Now we, the Class of l954, face the challenge of the future. The world we are about to enter is a turbulent one. Tonight may be the last farewell, for the sands of time often separate the best of friends. But wherever we go and whatever we do, we will always remember our rich friendships and experiences. No matter how stormy the voyage, we fervently pray, Kensington, that truly thy wis- dom's torch may shine on and light our way and that each of us in our own manner may reflect its gleam into the troubled world. -Sandra .loy Betz CLASSES WATER, ITS FUNCTIONS, CHARACTERISTICS, AND POTENTIALITIES, MAY WELL BE COMPARED WITH OUR CLASSES. EACH REPRESENTS LIFE RISING OUT OF LIFE, CHANGING BUT NEVER ENDING, EVER EVOLVING SOMETHING NEW BUT NEVER LOSING THE OLD. EACH IS ESSENTIAL: WATER TO LIFE AND GROWTH, YOUTH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE, CULTURE, AND INVENTIVENESS. EACH IS A SYMPHONY. LAKE, RIVER, OCEAN, ALL ARE IN HARMONY, EACH A PERFECT BLEND. THEY ARE PERVADED BY A MARVELOUS RHYTHM, THE LAPPING OF WAVES, THE EBB AND FLOW OF TIDES, THE EVER-CHANGING TEMPO - SOFTENING TO THE SPRING SHOWER OR RISING TO THE THRASH OF THE TEMPEST - OUR CLASSES, ATTACKING EACH NEW PROBLEM, POUNDING AWAY WITH DETER- MINATION OR RISING TO EACH NEW CHALLENGE. LIKE MAN'S RESTLESS HEART IN SEARCH OF KNOWLEDGE, WATER CIRCLES THE EARTH, CLEANSING, PURIFYING, CREATING. THE SYMPHONY EXPANDS, ELABORATES, SWELLS, AND LEADS ON THROUGH BRILLIANT VARIATIONS AND EXOUISITE CLIMAXES. OUR SYMPHONY SPEAKS EQUALLY OF THE DIM PAST AND THE DISTANT BUT HOPEFUL FUTURE. IT TELLS OF THE SEED, WHICH PLANTED NOW, WATERED BY EACH NEW EXPERIENCE, IS PREDESTINED TO GROW INTO SOMETHING PURPOSEFUL WITH MEANING AND CLARITY. KNOWLEDGE IS AN IMMENSE SEA ABOUT WHICH MAN LEARNS LITTLE. HOWEVER, A TINY DROP DRAWN FROM THIS INFINITE WELL HOLDS THE KEY TO LEADERSHIP, POWER, WEALTH, HAPPINESS, AND PEACE. LIKE THE OCEAN, KNOWLEDGE IS SOMETHING TO BE EXPLORED AND STUDIED, - AWE- SOME, WONDERFUL: YET PURSUED WITH ARDOR AND ZEAL BECAUSE OF ITS DARK, UNFATHOMABLE DEPTHS. ROLL ON, THOU DEEP AND DARK BLUE OCEAN, ROLLI SO WE STUDENTS COMING AND GOING EACH YEAR, SHALL ROLL ON TO KNOWLEDGE AND NEW APPROACHES TO LIFE AND ITS MEANING. ff' er' vw 'ui 1, Q I fa i f 729' III-f IIAAPIII er 'IIIIIII I 69 Q Q ,a n 4 I' , ! .- 50 .. .'-I-1: KNOCC4 '.f- 'L o ,.'-:T3 ' Q o '1 'U ,. ,f .-.L..'.:-.

JUNIOR OFFICERS SEATED: Nancy Cash, Timothy McMullen, Jeanne LaRue, Virginia Schenk. STANDING: Roger Shields, John Storms. Timothy McMullen, President Shy Mr. President isn't so shy in the swimming pool. Although while in training for swimming meets, he had to decide whether just to take in a show or go out for a glass of milk, he proved himself by being a member of Ken's All-High Swimming Team. Besides swimming, Tim likes golf and track. Nancy Cash, Vice-President Our versatile and popular vice-president has in- terests in many activities in and out of school. She is in the Council on World Affairs, A Cappella Choir, Orchestra, and is a member of Student Council. Her sports interests are bowling, badminton, volleyball, and basketball. She was a delegate to the Hi-Y Convention. Jeanne LaRue, Secretary The personality plus girl, Jeanne is always sweet, friendly and charming Well-dressed, she showed wonderful modeling ability in this year's fashion show. Jeanne displayed decorative talent as a member of Santa's Snowball Committee. Ener- getic in Hi-Y affairs, she is also on Student Council. John Storms, Treasurer John Storms, the man who handles the money, is recognized throughout Kensington as an eloquent speaker. An avid Stan Kenton enthusiast, he is very fond of jazz. John plays saxophone in Ken's band and participated in this year's winning debate team. Also he is very active in church affairs. Virginia Schenk, Girls' Marshal Our unassuming Girls' Marshal always has a pleasant smile for everyone. Willing to work, she finds the Compass staff the favorite of her school activities. She also is a member of Student Council. Although she is altruistic, it is known that she is interested in the business world and plans to be a medical secretary. Roger Shields, Boys' Marshal Humorous and dependable Roger Shields is another of our athletic Junior officers. He was on the football team and also plays basketball. His great ambition at present is to become the proud possessor of a car. Several of his recent English compositions have stressed this theme, WE ARE PROUD OF: . . .

This year, the Sophomores have eagerly con- tributed to our school in every possible way. No longer are they unsophisticated Freshmen accustom- ing themselves to a new school. They are inspired with the idea of high school lite and enjoy smooth sailing in the endless stream of school activities at Ken. Not only have they excelled in their studies, but they have been valuable assets to our athletic teams and to all clubs. The class of 1956 will be well equipped to become the leader of our school. The extra-curricular activities in clubs and sports, in which Sophomores have been enthusiastic, add greatly to school life. Some of the dancers in the Square Dance Group in the St. Patrick's Day Program were: Edward Barlow, Mercita Binner, Joan Buhles, Jim Ewert, Marianna Giacalone, Jeff Cunius, Rosalie Ives, Marlene Kuske, Noreen Mullen, Betty Sedita, Bar- bara Speidel, Jonalee Staley, and Donald Wagner. This program involved many hours of practice before school, and the participants deserve much credit for an excellent performance. Among the scholastically inclined Sophomores at Kensington are: Carol Ann Boesl, Lawrence Dob- meier, John Reilly, Ellen Thomson and Donald Waldowski, who are at the top of the list with some of the highest averages in the school. Close at their heels in The Battle of the Brains are Esther Pontrello, Barbara Button, Barbara Crockett, Donald Getzin, Al Griskevicius, Alicia Phillips, Maryann Zimmerman, constantly striving to surpass the top five and establish themselves in the desirable posi- tion.

The squads of the Ken teams this year included many Sophomore boys. lf the wonderful records of Ken athletic teams are to continue, we must depend on constant replacement by the underclass- men. This year, a number of Sophomores even made varsity teams. We expect to see, steadily soaring skyward: . . . Fred McNeil, our fearless fullback, make All- High. . . .

Continued on Page 163 KENSINGTON IS PROUD OF ITS FRESHMAN CLASS Although Freshmen are occasionally treated as inferior infants by their more sophisticated elders, the Class of '58 boasts many celebrities who have achieved school-wide fame in everything from athletics to beauty contests. Even the superior upperclassmen will have to admit the freshmen are really getting around. The competition among honor roll leaders has been excitingly keen this year. However, we are not surprised to find that Rosanne Rothfuss, who received a IOOWQ Jesse Ketchum Medal average last year, was in first place. Following close behind are Marilyn Aust, Gayel Panke, who was runner-up in the Jesse Ketchum awards, Rosemarie Bondanza, Shirley Fruth, Beth Brown, Elaine Scheppan, Lois Beicke, and Lois Curran. Due to the efforts and ideas of cheery Terry Crotty, versatile Ken Agosti, and their committee members the Shamrock Shuffle became another of our successful school dances. Indeed, it was a great day for the Irish when our petite Linda Vona captured the title, Miss Ireland, at the freshman dance. We won't be too surprised if Tony Spirito Santo decides on a career of radio or television announcing because of the excellent and natural way he emceed the Shamrock Shuffle. Three enthusiastic and sprightly freshmen: Hedda Sproghe, Mike Mercurio, and Lance Billingsley, have been seen at pep rallies and games this past year gaily leading cheers. An expense-free trip to Washington, D. C. was recently won by Rosemarie Bondanza, because of her winning entry in the annual Americanism Essay Contest. With the winning of the eleventh consecutive Syracuse Cup many Ken freshmen have become well-known because of their aquatic abilities. They are: Bill Appel, Dick Bernard, Paul Kreinheder, Dave McQuay, Tom Niezgoda, Fred Ruppel, Jay Walter, and Bob Wilson. We feel confident that with added training these swimmers will bring that coveted cup home to Kensington for many more years. Certainly these active students have helped to prove how valuable we freshmen are to our school. ROOMS 304, 213 BOTTOM ROW: H. Sterr, M. Raab, R. Beldfn, D. Botham, D. Crandall, G. Miner, C. G.

Probably the freshman with the highest goal is Don Whited, who is certain of his success as Presi- dent of the United States. Ken Meierjurgen will run for Vice-President. Remember, boys-when you get in office - no more homework, but longer facationsl We hope to see Loretta Silvaroli and Dick Venator as Declamation Contest winners because of the first place city-wide honors they obtained last May in the Richmond Speaking Contest. Another one of our talented prospects is Gerard Eckert, who we believe will some day lead a famous orchestra or become a concert pianist. Also, we're hoping to see: . . . Sweet Ro Marinaccio as a famous soprano. . . . Kevin Walsh and Vern Schmitt as Ken basket- ball heroes. . . . Joan Ruzeski, Diane Rusch, and Carolee Piersall in more of their comical hillbiIly routines. FRAGMENTS . . . Ted Berger and Ken Schmitt win many more chess matches. . . . Judy Watts in more of the entertaining skits we have enjoyed. . . . Jim Bates, Dave McQuay, Bob Wilson, Tim Crooks, Dave Boyle, Paul Kreinheder, Wayne No- taro, Bob Thurlow, and Nelson Schnabel as some of the fastest cross-country runners in the high schools. . . . Barbara Rathman, Erna Mathewson, and Rosie Bondanza create more of their life-sized dolls, such as Katy O'Day, who advertised the Shamrock Shuffle. . . . A victorious Harvard Cup football team having as some of its members: Ken Agosti, Bruce Kirchoff, Ken Meierjurgen, Brad Pankow, Vern Schmitt, Jack Smith, and Tony Spirito Santo . . . Sharon Rommel as a celebrated dancer on the Broadway Stage. . . . Many more of the original posters turned out by Dawn Shaeffer, Carol Bielicki, and Bob Kalb- fleisch, who all possess artistic ability. . . . And most of all-what it's like to be a sophomore! 77 THE CLASS OF 1957 . . IT MAKES A LITTLE TALKING SOUND ROOMS 404, 405 BOTTOM ROW' P. Mclicown, K. Lichtcnthal, M. McCarthy, C. Nicmozyk, N.

ACTIVITY, LIKE THE SEA, WASHES AWAY DISCOURAGEMENT AND MELANCHOLY AND ASSUAGES WORLDY CARES. WATER IS ALWAYS MOVING IN RECURRENT CYCLES, ALWAYS COM- POSED OF VARIED MATERIALS. CHANGING CONSTANTLY, EVER PRESENTING NEW CHALLENGES, OUR PASTIMES WASH EVERYTHING CLEAN AND URGE US TO DRINK DEEP OF THEM. LIKE PURE, FRESH, SPARKLING WATER, ACTIVITY IS THE BASIS OF WHOLESOME LIFE. MAN'S ABILITY TO THINK AND TO JUDGE GRADUALLY WITHERS AWAY WITHOUT STIMULATING ACTIVITY. THEN MAN HAS NO INTEREST IN HIS FELLOWSQ HE CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN CONVERSATION NOR CAN HE MEET AND UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE. TRYING THROUGH THE AGES TO CONTROL WATER AND PREVENT IT FROM BECOMING DESTRUCTIVE, MAN HAS MADE IT MORE BENEFICIAL TO HIM. LIKE THE GIANT DAMS HE HAS CONSTRUCTED TO HOLD WATER, PROPER GUIDANCE IS A GUARD AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE ACTIVITY. AS WATER PENE- TRATES THE MOST MINUTE CREVICES ALONG ITS SHORES, SO THE TIDES CREATED BY A PERSON'S ACTIONS PENETRATE THE MIND, BUILD IT, OR WEAR IT AWAY. THE ACTIVITY WE PARTICIPATE IN SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTIVE, FOR THUS WE LEARN SOUND PRINCIPLES AND IDEALS WHICH SOME DAY WILL BE LIKE THE NOISE OF MANY WATERS DROWNING THE EVIL FORCES THAT SEEK TO INHIBIT TRUTH AND JUSTICE. ACTIVITY, LIKE WATER, PASSES QUICKLY AWAY, AND ALL WHO CAN SHOULD SWIM IN THE SEA OF KNOWLEDGE, INTEREST, AND ENJOYMENT. I ,J igfss.

Ronald created the cover, which symbolizes the theme. Arlene has been very cooperative and of inestimable value to the art staff. Since every sketch and drawing must be inspected before it can be put into the yearbook, the editors have had a large task to accomplish. Both Ronald and Arlene have been superb in coping with their responsibilities. Q5 x. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Still waters run deep. William Raymond has done an excellent job as editor. His winning personality has been an inspira- tion to the members of the various staffs. He dis- creetly chose chairmen and committee members according to their ability, and saw to it that everyone was occupied with an assignment, Periodically he called meetings to observe our progress and to give helpful advice.

After careful planning and thought they created drawings that enhanced the beauty and clarified the theme of the yearbook. They toiled diligently, giving up their own time to assure the artistic excellence of the drawings. LITERARY STAFF The patience and literary ability of the yearbook scribes has been a dominant factor in the publication and successful outcome of the Compass. They have spent many hours of their own time writing, cor- recting, and re-writing their manuscripts. Their tireless efforts have been influential in making the Compass an outstanding book.

Beginning with an Advisory Committee of about one hundred members, the Council has become an organization of one repre- sentative from each of the fifty-one home- rooms. With Mr. McMahon and Miss Maloney as faculty advisors, the Council began to function with elected officers and appointed committees. A constitution was written and the Cafeteria Committee un- veiled plans to make our lunchrooms a better place in which to eat , New rules were instituted and recorded music was offered. Each homeroom received a copy of each meeting's minutes. The Spring Swing on April 30, sponsored by the Council, was a big success, A Field Day, another innova- tion, was tremendously received. Our Student Council is an organization to be respected and commended for the work it has done in the short time it has been functioning. Mr. Chassin, Mr. Axlerod, and Mr. Hayes have initiated a group that will be a living memento to their devoted interest in life at Kensington. P57 B, Button, S, Wilcott, E. Thomson, R.

Precise tempos, smooth styling, and popular appeal gave the Ken Dance Band a sensational start. KEN DANCE GROUP Since the formation of the Ken Dance Group last year, this organization has become one of the most popular school activities. Meeting mornings before school began, the group learned square dancing from Mr. Duquin and social dancing from Mrs. Lufkin. On March I7 during the St. Patriclds Day pro- gram, the group danced an lrish Lilt and an Irish square dance to music supplied by Mr, Geiger and part of the band. Enjoyment, both for members and for the school, is the keynote of all Ken Dance Group activities. I BOTTOM ROVV: P, Storm, J. Buhlcs, I W. Evarts, J. Wallacrg, J. Crandall, M. Giacalone, J.

WAVES OF DANCERS SWIRL AND EDDY IN GYM One fourth of the student body stayed after school this year -- to dance for fun and - for a cause. A benefit dance for injured football players, and others to raise funds for a Public Address System were planned by Class Committees, who featured such notables as Santa Claus, Tony Castiglia, The King and Queen of Hearts, Tony Castiglia and Bar- bara Markham, Miss Ireland, Linda Vona, and fam- ous vocalists. The Beat Bennett Bounce, Santa's Snowball, the Sweetheart Swing, the Shamrock Shuffle, and the Spring Swing sparkled with enthusiasm and enjoy- ment. Cafeteria decorations, unique, imaginative, and beautiful, were another innovation this year. For Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St, Patrick's Day, and Easter, the cafeterias were appropriately decorated by student committees, inspired and directed by Mr. Hayes.

ROMAN RELATIONS Senatus, Populusque Romanus, the Senate and the Roman people, is the new name of this year's Latin Club. Members elect officers to correspond to the governmental leaders of ancient Rome. The aediles organize and present the program, while the censors of each class take attendance. The secre- tary's work is fulfilled by praetors. Tribunes cor- respond to representatives ot the common people ot Rome, and the duty ot the quaestor is to act as treasurer. Not only does this club inform its members about Roman habits, customs and civilization, it also de- velops their imaginative leadership. ln one ot the meetings several ot the young Romans presented an original skit. Baskets were sent to a hospital at Christmas. Everyone participated in the annual Christmas party. Games requiring a knowledge of Latin were played. The Roman Saturnalia was explained. Flemming, A.

Led by a president with numerous ideas, the Deutsches Verein learned German games, songs, and folk dances. They heard recordings of German songs, poetry, and classics. Watching two German movies at a neighborhood theater, learning poems by Goethe, and attending the Christmas Party given by U, B.'s German Club were other highlights of the current year. O ATHENAEUM . . . PLATO'S PRODIGIES Diana Maichrzak, Annette Arendt, Wil- liam Raymond, Miss Kenny, Amelia Del Prince. SPONSOR Miss Margaret Kenny, Because of their interest in the ancient Greek lan- guage, the members of last year's Greek class have con- tinued The Athenaeum. These students attend the club to keep their knowl- edge of Greek alive. Also by reading Aesop's fables and selections from other Greek writers they have added to their knowledge of the Greek language. I SORTES VERGILIANAE Sortes Vergilianae is made up of the members of Latin IV class, whose chief objective is the reading of VergiI's great epic, the Aeneid, which relates the adventures of Aeneas in the founding of Rome, We find it interesting to note the depend- ence of Vergil on the Homeric poems, which pre- ceded him, and his own influence on numerous poets throughout the ages, even in our own times. In fact, quotations from Vergil are so familiar because of their beauty and aptness that we can use them in almost every human situation. ln addition to the actual story of the Aeneid, the poem is so full of allusions to ancient legend that a thorough study of Greek and Roman mythology is necessary for a deeper knowledge and an increased apprecia- tion of this outstanding work of ancient literature.

THE STUDIO CLUB The depth and power of the sea, Neptune and his realm and the influence of water on man, has been the pattern for all art work this year. The five foot laminated paper snowman, con- structed for Santa's Snow Ball, was changed into a fierce looking monster, amidst mobile fish, painted backdrops, seaweed, and real mermaids, for the water show scenery. This group demonstrated their work in the Art Room on Parents' Night, donated paintings to the Junior Red Cross exhibit, and pre- sented an educational and entertaining art assembly. From these projects, and many more, members, under the supervision of Miss Davis, have learned to turn inspirations into reality. lt's the enthusiasm, hard work and ability displayed by a student, that welcomes him to this club.

Here are Knights at work, Library monitors shelve books, type and file cards, deliver over-due slips, arrange magazines, assist students and teach- ers. Miss Pierman, librarian, trains the monitors. Frequently Miss Pierman instructs entire classes on library procedures and services. Freshmen are introduced to the card catalog, the Dewey Decimal System of classification, reference shelves and the general functioning of the library. Upper classmen are taught the fundamentals of research work. In cooperation with the teachers Miss Pierman has set aside entire shelves containing literature assigned for classroom proiects. A special library service is the faculty library which includes best sellers in fiction and non- fiction. Gay bulletin boards and colorful book jackets advertise stimulating new books. The magazine rack contains the latest issues of thirty-five cur- rently popular periodicals. Pamphlets, a short cut to information, enjoy a wide circulation. This year, in one semester, l0,000 students used the library and in this time over l0,000 books were in circulation. SEATED Bcvcrly Lchr, Sandra Pettit, Joanne LaRue, Nancy Stamp, Dianne Danitz.

In addition, the girls set up a schedule and make out assignments to make sure that the operator, projector and film arrive at the classroom at the requested time. Only when he is thoroughly familiar with the 5 equipment is an operator sent out on an assignment. He goes through a general instruction period first, then he is assigned to an experienced operator from whom he receives peisonalized instruction and guidance in the proper wav in which he handles an assignment. The equipment includes movie pro- jectors, slide and filmstrip projectors, screens, record players, and wire recorders. The endless work which must be done before a classroom film can be shown makes the Projection Staff invaluable as a service organization in helping to bring the world into the classroom.

WKEN STAGE STAFF Practical experience in all phases of program production including stage crew activities, is an ideal basis for advanced radio and television work. So said WBEN programming executive, Mr. Fred Keller, in response to the question: What back- ground is desirable for those who aspire to radio and television announcing or acting? WKEN provides broad practical experiences, such as stage lighting for Christmas Pageant, and Water Carnival, sound effects for plays, record programs DEBATE . . . TO EACH Resolved: That the United States adopt a policy of free trade. Kensington's debate teams discussed this topic April 2. The affirmative: Kenneth Schneider, Patricia Schrack and Thomas Ahern, debated Lafayette. The negative team: Daniel Goulding, Sandra Betz and and announcing for basketball games and dances, in addition to assembly programs. Type recording and play-back of programs is a further rewarding experience. Whether they wish to continue stage work as a career, WKEN members have every opportunity to learn by doing, while making important contribu- tions to school life. WKEN features teamwork rather than starring roles. ln WKEN every member is an officer. HIS OWN ARGUMENT John Storms defeated Grover Cleveland, Both teams were coached by Miss O'Meara, The affirmative team won eight points at Lafay- ette: the negative team was accorded nine points at Kensington.

This is one of the many projects Radio Club members had a chance to try out for themselves with the aid of a long-lines oscillator transmitting at TV. frequen- cies. They found that properly spaced reflectors and directors of a yagi array do build up signal strength as well as serving as resting places for tired sparrows. Club members also traced radio and TV. back to their sources through trips to station WBEN and to Sylvania Electric, where complete receivers the slide rule, sextant and micrometer caliper, and using the transit to measure the height of a local chimney are projects that helped the club members acquire knowledge of the basic principles of mathe- matics and engineering.

Paul Bullinger, Radio Club alumnus, now active with Standard Electronics, brought the club a demonstration of picture tearing, out of sync, lack of raster and other T.V. service problems.

Stewart, The Journalism Club teaches students the correct ways to read newspapers, publishing procedures, writing techniques, methods of gathering news, and the vocational possibilities of journalistic careers. When collecting news the reporters become better acquainted with school activities. Students also find that careful reading of lead sentences helps them to become well-informed and to write con- HOMEMA Experienced guidance combined with the efforts of the Program Committee have led the Homemak- ing Club through another successful year. Activities included a comprehensive tour of the State Teachers' College campus, making decorative Easter favors for children in hospitals, serving luncheon at the teachers' convention and modeling KI cisely, factually and objectively. A tour of the Buffalo Evening News showed the theory learned at club meetings put to practical application. The Journalism Club published a Christmas issue of Ken Key Notes, thus achieving its journalistic aims, NG CLUB at the fashion show. The Valentine party was an outstanding success and the annual dinner party climaxed an exceptionally happy year. Through these projects and entertainments the girls have learned much that will enable them to fulfill efficiently their future roles as citizens, home- makers, and mothers. llQ SEATED ON FLOOR D, Mahr, C.

WHEN A BOY TRIES OUT FOR AN ATHLETIC TEAM IN HIGH SCHOOL HE NEEDS TO BE BUILT UP BEFORE HE CAN PERFORM ADEQUATELY IN COMPETITION. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS BUILDING UP PERIOD HE MIGHT REPRESENT A TRICKLE OF WATER IN A SPRING THAW. THEN AS HE GROWS STRONGER HE BECOMES A RIPPLING BROOK, AND AS HE TRAINS HARDER HE TURNS INTO A MIGHTY RIVER PRIMING AND BUBBLING WITH ENERGY. IT IS THEN, WHEN HE HAS THE FORCE OF NIAGARA. HE BECOMES AN ACTIVE PART OF THIS OCEAN OF POWER, THE TEAM. NOW HE CAN HELP THOSE WHO INSPIRED AND PUSHED HIM THROUGH HIS TRAINING PERIOD. THIS TEAMWORK RESEMBLES A FLOOD WHERE EVERY MOLECULE OF WATER PUSHES THE OTHER UNTIL THEIR MOMENTUM MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO STOP. EVERY PLAYER HELPS HIS TEAM- MATE, AND TOGETHER THEY BECOME AN ALMOST INVINCIBLE GROUP. THEN VICTORY UPON VICTORY IS WON AND SOMETIMES WHEN MAGNIFICENT EFFORT IS EXERTED A RECORD FALLS. BUT EVEN THEN THESE MEN ARE NOT SATISFIED. THEY TRAIN AND TRAIN MORE UNTIL PERSPIRATION DRENCHES THEIR PROUD UNIFORMS AND THEY ATTAIN THE SKILL NEEDED FOR VICTORY WHEN THEY ARE IN COMPETITION ATHLETES LOVE AND NEED COMPETITION. IT IS THIS YEARNING THAT MAKES THEM CHANGE WATER TRANSPORTATION INTO SPEED BOAT RACES, SAIL BOAT RACES, AND SWIMMING RACES. THIS GOES INTO DIFFERENT MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND DIFFERENT FORMS OF ATHLETIC ENDEAVOR: BUT IN EACH ONE TEAMWORK, SKILL, AND COMPETITION ARE NEEDED. THEREFORE ONE CAN SAY THESE FACTORS ARE AS IMPORTANT TO AN ATHLETE AS WATER HAS BEEN TO MAN THROUGH THE AGES. 4 II6 IDA TURSINI K. TTT? FIRST ROW' G. Pollock, Manager, W. Flattcry, W, Roberts, R.

With the help of Dave Eckel, Roger Bock, Ron Ryan, Bill Roberts, Dick Bartha, and Jim Ewert, Cross-Country activities started in early September, when the boys began to train under the expert and watchful eye of Coach Duke Duquin. The team, hoping to retain the championship, made a fine showing September 29 when they de- feated Bennett and Burgard at the Delaware Park Lake. In the second meet the team finished second to a surprisingly strong McKinley team The Ken harriers then bounced back in the third meet and downed Emerson and Riverside.

Pluvius, god of rain, has been the cause for the curtailment of the activities of Ken's track team. At the time of the writing of this article, because of his generous outpouring of rain, our first meet with Bennett and Burgard has been canceled, with the weather for future meets looking no better. The team, captained by Dave Eckel and Tom Webb, has had no chance to judge its strength. However, on paper Ken has a well balanced squad.

Moulton, A, The football team of i953-54, under the watchful eye of Coach Bergstrom, finished the season with a record of 3 wins, l tie, and 2 losses. Looking like all-stars at the opening of the season, the Knights were blistered with one injury after another. In the first game Ken, paced by co-captain Tom Webb, defeated Tech by a score of l3 - O. The victory cost us the full-time services of Dan Ro- chonski, who hurt his knee. Then the black hand of fate clutched the Knights' armor as Seneca upset us l3 - 6. In that game co- captain Al Clark was afflicted with a shoulder injury. But worse than Clark's injury was the breaking of Tom Webb's leg when he fell late in that same game. Oh, what a fall was there, my country- men! The disheartened Knights were then surprised by Lafayette, who defeated us I3 - 20. This time Sartori, R. Battaglia. it was Rog Seibert who received a minor knee injury. The team then bounced back at Grover Cleveland, downing them by a score of 3l - l8. The Knights were led that day by Ralph Wiepert, Darrell Chal- craft, Ron Henry, and Carl Muehlburger. The team kept rolling with Tony Castiglia, George Stock, and the recovering Seibert leading Ken to a l4 - 7 victory over Burgard. The Bennett game on Turkey Day ended in a hard-fought scoreless tie. The notables in that game were Al Clark, Gord Reinig, George Stock, and Bob Cromp. Congratulations are in order for Al Clark and George Stock, who both received All-High Honors for their tremendous contribution to the team throughout the season. This is also a credit to the expert coaching of Coach Bill Bergstrom. 120 . ENGULFS THIS YEAR'S TEAM COURAGE, SKILL AND PERSISTENCE G. Stock, T.

Captain Rog Seibert paced the Knights by scoring 2l points. Ken then defeated Grover Cleveland and Technical in successive victories. With the term over, Strzelczyk and Wagner were now eligible but Ken then lost the services of their ace ball-handler, Butch Wiepert, who broke his wrist in practice. The team continued to roll as they downed l.a'ayette, Burgard, South Park and Seneca in that order. Ron Russell, Jerry Hesson, and Connie Strzelczyk made a fine showing in each of t'1ese games. Riverside upset the first place Knights by l point on a foul shot with i2 seconds left to play. The team then returned home and beat McKinley four days before our final game with Bennett. The Bennett game, witnessed by a capacity crowd, saw Ken managing to stay ahead most of the way. The team suffered greatly as Connie Strzelczyk and Woodie Wagner fouled out in the third quarter.

With only 3 returning regulars from last year's Champion- ship Team, a tournament had to be played to de- termine who would comprise the team. Co-Captain Tom Wiegert lthe last of the fabulous Wiegert brothersl, Joe Folts, and freshman Dennis Dux won first, second, and third singles positions respectively.

Because of the well-balanced squad, versatile Coach Millard found he had several substitutes close to the ability of the first team men. Among these are Jim Urbanski, Jim Ursel, Al Mudd, Lou Crapsi, Dick Herrick, and freshman Frank Tatko. All of these men saw a lot of action this year, so that an experienced team will be on hand next year to continue the fine record set by former Kensington Tennis Teams, who in the last 7 years have won 53 of their last 54 matches in league play. Dennis Dux won All-High 3rd singles. GOLF . . OVER HILL, DALE, RIVER AND STREAM 'Z' Mr. John Meegan, David Timberlake, A great asset to Kensington is the Golf Club, which includes some of Western New York's best young golfers. The Golf Club's Team is composed of Dave Koch, Jim Urbanski, Dick Robinson, and Smiling Jim Lennon. Here are some of the things these boys have accomplished. Dave Koch won a plaque for beating golfers of all ages in his class at the Lancaster Country Club and he also accomplished a hole-in-one at Grand View Bay. Jim Urbanski last year placed second in a tournament at Grover Cleveland against boys under eighteen years old from all over Western New York, and he also achieved a hole in one. Dick Robinson, Ken's long ball hitter, made one David Koch, James Lennon Richard Robinson, James Urbanski, Charles Baschnagel, Michael DiPota, Walter Wilson, James Ferrick. of the longest holes in one on record in 1952, a 375 yard blast on the 5th hole at Grover Cleveland. Jim Lennon last year was fifth in a tournament at the Transit Valley Country Club and he also made a hole in one on the same course. Mr. Meegan, an expert golfer himself, will accom- pany the club on an annual trip to Cleveland, Ohio, Erie, Pennsylvania, or some other course in Canada in order to condition the boys to playing on strange layouts. Other active members, who played vic- torious matches against Timon and Bennett, are: Al Metzinger, Joe Crandall, Mike DiPota, Dave Timberlake, and Jim Ferrick. 1' 1-v-gl.

Bill Rusch and Dave Fisher won First All-High Honors, while Carl Nepokroeff and Ken Schmidt won Second Honors. Bob and Don Getzin also did well by winning many matches.

GOLD K AWARD IS All through our school days at Ken, we, the Gold K girls have eagerly and willingly participated in after-school sports, Under the capable guidance of our four physical education instructors, Mrs. Samul, Mrs. Lufkin, Mrs, Nilson and Miss Moore, we have learned to display good sportsmanship in victory or defeat, teamwork and cooperation with our extra-curricular program. Girls' athletics at Ken are numerous, Whether it's Fall, Winter, or Spring there is always some sport scheduled. These include basketball, volley- ball, tennis, badminton, swimming, softball, hiking, TREASURED TROPHY bowling, skating, baton twirling, and drill team. ln order for a girl to earn her Gold K she must accumulate a total of SOO points over a period of four years, The first three years, a girl earns a felt letter K but in her fourth year she gets a little Gold K pin. This pin is precious to its owner and will always be treasured. We would like to express our gratitude to the girls' physical education department whose efficient instruction and supervision made all of these achievements possible. 1 Q 1 1' Rah!

THROUGH ALL THE AGES IT HAS DETERMINED HIS RESIDENCE, HIS OCCUPATION, AND HIS DIET, AND HAS INFLUENCED HIS THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS, HIS HABITS, AND HIS DESIRE TO BUY WHAT HE NEEDS. SINCE CIVILIZATION BEGAN, RIVERS HAVE PROVIDED TRANSPORTATION, FOODS LIKE FISH AND SHRIMP, AND A LIVELIHOOD SUCH AS SHIP BUILDING. NO GIVEN COUNTRY CAN SURVIVE ECONOMI- CALLY INDEPENDENT, FOR IT MUST IMPORT RAW MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURED GOODS TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF ITS PEOPLE THE GREAT STEAMSHIP COMPANIES AND RELATED AGENCIES EMPLOY ADVERTISING TO MOTIVATE THE PRODUCERS TO ACCEPT THEIR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. THE VOICE OF ADVERTISING IS HEARD EVEN IN THE REMOTEST COUNTRY ON THE GLOBE. ADVERTISING STIMULATES BUYING AND SELLING WHICH IN TURN MEANS PROFITS FOR THE DISTRIBUTING AGENCIES AND THE MIDDLEMEN WHO CAN RELAY THESE BENEFITS TO THE CONSUMER. WITH HIS SAVINGS THE CONSUMER CAN AFFORD TO BUY MORE AND THIS CYCLE, LIKE THE CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN. KEEPS AMERICA PROSPEROUS. OUR BASIC BELIEFS AND FREEDOMS ARE PRESERVED BECAUSE A PROSPEROUS NATION IS LESS LIKELY TO TURN TO WAR. IN A LIBERTY-LOVING COUNTRY LIKE THE UNITED STATES THE ADVERTISER IS FREE TO PRESENT THE MERITS OF HIS PRODUCT BY WAY OF NEWSPAPERS, RADIO, AND TELEVISION.

After the holidays we anticipated a fine basketball season. Connie Strzelczyk, Woody Wagner, Rog Seibert, Butch Wiepert, and Ron Russell showed much ability on the court and helped to make this Green and Gold team one of the best Mr. Nilson had ever coached. At the same time Tom Rooney, Norm Mruk, Dave Eldridge, Dave Koch, Darrell Chalcraft, and the rest of the swimmers were showing the form that made Kensington's Knights the Syracuse Cup winners once again. The day before the All-High meet we had an assembly program which served as a pep rally. A Dragnet skit included in its cast Harry White, Paul Stoll, and John Gaydica. We all appreciated Miss O'Meara's help in preparing this and many other programs throughout the year, Some of the class- mates taking part in these assemblies were Marge Shamblen, Pat Knasiak, Dan Goulding, Ken Schneider, and a quartet consisting of Barb Mark- ham, Carol Stewart, Ann Notaro, and Sandy Errick. The coming of Senior elections made us realize that graduation was just around the corner. Our choices were as follows: Tom Webb, presidentg Bark Markham, vice-president, Dan Goulding, treas- urer, and Maxine Ralicki, secretary. The marshals were Dottie Hayn and Dave Eldridge. Beatrice Saxer has led the honor roll all year. With confidence that we have developed here at Kensington the qualities necessary for success and happiness, nevertheless with sadness, too, we come to the close of our Senior year. We know that the memories of our high school years will always remain among those most cherished in our hearts.

Acknowledgments Many people helped to make this year's Com- pass possible. The editors, the staffs, and the faculty advisors express a sincere thank you to all.
