You are now on the threshold of new adventure. The years at Kensington should

the future with courage and faith in the ideals you aspire to. 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. Share the burden with others in your community,
to make it a better place in which to live. By doing these things you strengthen the
heritage handed down by your forefathers that ours is a country under God, of the people,

WE WELCOME DR. EWING,
NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Dr. Parmer L. 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!

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

"The purpose in a man's mind is like deep water, but a man of

Mr. Garnett F. 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.
