McMahon, a student counselor of Ken- sington High School, was sincerely devoted to his faith, family, home and students. He was a zeal- ous worker in his church, a loyal and thoughtful son, a wise and understanding father, and a prac- tical guide and mentor to Kensington boys. Mr. McMahon was born in Buffalo, July 25, l902. He was a graduate of Saint Joseph's lnsti- tute and Buffalo State Teachers College, and he received both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education degrees from Canisius College. Before teaching industrial arts at Kensington High School, he taught at Schools 3l and 24. As an industrial arts teacher he came to know and understand boys on a more personal basis and as boys' guidance counselor, he gave very sound advice and valuable recommendations. How- ever, his devotedness rounded itself into a great confidence and everyone looked to him as a guide. He was admired for his optimistic zeal in his daily work and respected even by those who did not share his sometimes vigorous opinions. He had infinite energy and endless enthusiasm for his work. His deep interest in his home and his family made him quick to solve similar problems with the Kensington pupils. His natural good humor and ready laughter easily disspelled any annoyance with the whims and idiosyncracies of youth. His hobbies of gardening, craft work, painting and golf made him that much more valuable in encourag- ing young men and women to higher standards. They that instruct many to justice shall shine as stars for all eternity. John McMahon has gone from our midst but his spirit abides with us. No one who sincerely loved guiding young people as he did can leave us orphans. IN MEMORIAM JOHN J. MCMAHON, JR. Born: July 25, 1902 Died: October 'I'I, 1954 Death is the door that leads to light. 5 INTRODUCTION TO THE THEME IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. FROM THE DARKNESS OF CREATION, THROUGH THE ANCIENT DAYS OF DINOSAURS, REPTILES AND CAVE MEN, SINCE THE DAYS OF EGYPT, GREECE AND ROME UP TO THE ERAS OF EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY, SCIENCE AND LEARNING, TO OUR MODERN ATOMIC AGE, MAN HAS PROGRESSED AND THRIV- ED. FROM HIS CHANGING IDEAS OF GOD THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, FROM IG- NORANCE TO SCIENTIFIC MASTERY, FROM THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE AND MECHANIZED INDUSTRIALISM, MAN HAS DIVESTED HIMSELF OF THE RAGS OF ILLITERACY AND DONNED THE SPLENDOR OF MAGNIFICENT CREATIVENESS. MAN HAS WRITTEN AND IS STILL WRITING THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. HIS INGE- NUITY HAS TAMED THE ANIMALS, CROSSED THE SEAS AND CHANGED THE FACE OF THE EARTH. IN THE BEGINNING, MOTHER EARTH NURSED AND NURTURED MAN AND HIS ANIMAL FRIENDS AND ENEMIES. SHE WAS MAN'S HOME, FOOD, CLOTHING. SHE WAS HIS HINDRANCE AS WELL AS HIS HELP, CHANGING OR DESTROYING LIFE AS SHE SAW FIT, WITH TORNADOES, TIDAL WAVES, EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. BUT LATER, THROUGH HIS DEVEL- OPING INTELLIGENCE, HE BECAME STRONGER AND LEARNED TO HOUSE, CLOTHE AND FEED HIMSELF. MAN BEGAN TO CONQUER EARTH, CROSSED HER MOUNTAINS AND OCEAN BAR- RIERS, BRIDGED HER CHASMS AND DAMMED HER RIVERS. HE DROVE DEEP INTO HER HEART AND BROUGHT FORTH IRON, COAL, OIL AND GAS, UPON NNHICH OUR MODERN WORLD SUR- VIVES. SKYSCRAPERS, OCEAN VESSELS, AND FINALLY .ATOMIC ENERGY CAME FORTH FROM HER VAST STORES OF RESOURCES. WARS HAVE SCARRED HER, BUT MODERN ADVANCEMENT HAS BEAUTIFIED HER. MAN HAS BELITTLED HER WITH FASTER AND FASTER COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION SYS- TEMS, BUT EARTH HAS RETALIATED WITH DESTRUCTIONS IN THE FORM OF TYPHOONS, HURRI- CANES AND BLIZZARDS, SHOWING MAN AS THE MINUTE PART OF CREATION HE REALLY IS. BUT WE BELIEVE THAT MAN'S IDEALISM AND IMAGINATION HAVE GIVEN HIM THE POWER TO OVER- COME THESE OBSTACLES AND BUILD HIMSELF UP TO GREATER HEIGHTS. 6 I J E 7 ADMINISTRATION FROM A PRIMITIVE NOMAD, TO A CIVILIZED, CULTURED WORSHIPPER, THROUGH THE SEARCH FOR A GOOD LIFE IN BEAUTY, LEARNING, UNDERSTANDING, TO SELF-INDULGENCE, LUXURY, CORRUPTIONg THENCE TO RELIGIOUS FERVOR. AND GREAT GALLANTRY, MAN HAS TAKEN THE LONG JOURNEY THROUGH THE AGES. DURING THESE ERAS THE MODE OF GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO CHANGED. THE GOVERNED HAVE BECOME FREE, EQUAL, AND INFLUENTIAL. WOMEN HERETOFORE UNRECOGNIZED HAVE TAKEN THEIR PROPER PLACE IN SOCIETY. UNDER DEMOCRATIC AUSPICES WISE AND BENE- FICENT LEADERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING TO FRUITION ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND COS- TUMES. HERE AT SCHOOL OUR ADMINISTRATION GIVES US THE BENEFITS OF SELF-GOVERNMENT BUT OFFER THEIR GREATER WISDOM AS A GUIDE. SKILLED IN THEIR FIELDS, OUR EDUCATORS ALTRUISTICALLY AND UNCEASINGLY IMPART THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO THE STUDENT BODY. THEY SEEK TO PREPARE US FOR OUR ROLE ON EARTH, TO MEET AND SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS, TO MAKE OUR LIVES SUCCESSFUL, AND TO BECOME THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW. FROM THIS NOBLE UNDERTAKING THE SAME ACCOMPLISHMENTS WILL RESULT, CIVILIZATION WILL BE FURTHERED. KNOWLEDGE AND HUMAN POWER ARE SYNONYMOUSV' 8 K I AU REVOIR, MR. CHASSIN Mr. John N. Chassin A man of integrity who never compromised in the slightest detail, a man who fully understood both the teacher and the pupil, a man whose char- ity las defined in Corinthiansl was so bounded that even his enemies knew no fear, a man who Congratulations to the Class of '55l loves Kensington and all things Kensingtonian. The chain has not parted from him but has length- ened to him. Who is this man? John Nicholas Chassinl At this time you will begin to realize how short four years can seem. We all hope you have profited by spending these years at Kensington. l Each of you should have some idea as to what you wish to do in the future. Wheth- er this means more formal education or getting a job, we suggest that you use will power and honest effort to obtain your goal. Personally, I want to wish each of you a very happy future, filled with mental, physi- cal and spiritual peace. Sincerely, wm- BCNJCUR, MR. We at Kensington are fortunate, indeed, to have such an experienced and educated person as Mr. Garnett F. Roberts serve as principal, Mr. Roberts received his formal education at Buffalo State Teachers College, Syracuse University, and the University of Buffalo, where he obtained his Mas- ter of Education degree. Before becoming head of the science department at Masten Park High School, Mr. Roberts was a scientist in the research laboratories at General Electric Company. Serving as assistant principal at Masten Park High School Linder Mr. Hersey for l6 years, Mr. Roberts was principal from l939 until the closing of Masten Park in 1953. From that time until his appoint- .... ,, Mr. Abraham Axlerod and Mr. Garnett Roberts ROBERTS! Mr. Garnett Roberts ment as principal at Kensington in February, l955, Mr. Roberts was co-ordinator for the center schools at the main office. Asked to give some of his impressions ot Ken- sington High School, Mr. Roberts replied, l like the naturalism with which the students accept high school routines, the large numbers which ap- pear on the scholastic honor rolls indicating good counseling, and the enthusiasm shown in the as- semblies and at the games for all the activities of the school. Secondly, I appreciate the friendliness of its outstanding faculty who are not only great teachers but also enter into the lite ofthe school as teachers and advisers to the students. waff- . X., ff' -x Pi, fpw' HELPING TO SHAPE THE CHARACTER OF YOUTH Mr. Abraham Axlerod A CONTINUOUS OFFICE STAFF Miss Florence Lehde, Mrs. Italia Guarnaccia and Miss Emma Dwork are our capable assis- tants in the office. Their pleasing personalities, willingness, and co-operation are admired by all. The task of maintaining an organized school schedule is difficult, however, their plan- ning and skill make everything run with clock- like precision. Our sincere appreciation to theml T Mr. Abraham Axlerod, our assistant principal, has devoted his life to young people as a teacher, guidance counselor, social worker, camp director, and school ad- ministrator. lt is this experience with young people that makes Mr. AxIercd's outlook on lite and its prob- lems cheerful and optimistic. His basic philosophy is to help others to help themselves and to help others too. The application ot the Golden Rule to human behavior, Mr. Axlerod points out, is very difficult in practice, unless one really believes it and tries to apply it wherever and whenever possible.

The guidance office suffered a great loss this year with the passing of Mr. McMahon on October ll. However, Miss Langner and Miss Corcoran ably assisted in guiding the boys during the re- mainder of the term. ln February of this year, we welcomed a newcomer to the guidance office, when Mr. Smith, formerly of East and Fosdick- Masten, efficiently assumed Mr. McMahon's posi- tion. His assistance has been invaluable to the boys of Kensington. Miss Langner helped those preparing for col- lege by conducting classes and giving tests. The ALWAYS READY TO HELP advice given by Miss Corcoran on selecting the proper vocation was greatly appreciated by the freshman students. The junior girls were also aided by the administration of preference tests. On March 9, l955, the guidance counselors presented a very successful career day which in- cluded conferences for the Juniors and Seniors and an assembly for the lower classmen. The students of Kensington have profited great- ly from the wise leadership and persevering efforts of our guidance counselors. Mr, Walker Miss Dorothy Pierman, Librarian.

DRAMATICS NURSE Miss O'Meara Mrs, Doris B. Nagle 1 I8 THE CUSTODIANS OF LEARNING One reason Kensington is highly rated among Buffalo's high schools is that we have fine teach- ers. We students recognize the inestimable value of their guidance and appreciate their willingness to co-operate in all activities. Versatile Miss Creahan, a favorite with every- one, esteemed by the senior boys and a sports en- thusiast, emphasizes in her teaching Knute Rockne's message to the youth of America: Be men of honesty, of disciplined character, of high ideals, of courage under fire - scorn the base and the vulgar, fight fair and win the glory of an un- blemished name. l'll be the judge of that! is the oft-repeated slogan of Mr. Larrabee. Did you know he rarely misses any sports event and although a grand- father, loves to roam the woods and work in his work shop at home? Mr. and Mrs. Nilson, our gracious husband-and- wife team in the phys. ed. department, devote their time gladly and generously to student activi- ties. Their two children, Bob, at Princeton, and Dick at school 80, are a source of pride to them. Be hard on yourself and easy on the other felIow, is a valuable maxim from Miss O'Meara's philosophy of life. And don't forget Ach, Du Lieber, Miss O'Mearal Our cross country coach and square-dance cat, Mr. Duquin, says, What you are today, you are now becoming. Appropriate to our swimming teacher, Miss Moore, is her favorite saying: Most any poor fish can float, And drift along and dream, But it takes a regular live one, To swim against the stream. Outside of school, Mr. Geiger is an advisor to the boys' Hi-Y group and plays the saxophone for many of our dances. His hobbies are photography and tinkering with automobiles. lt is agreed among Miss Valente, Miss Mc- Carthy, Miss Kenny, Miss Westerman, and Miss Dunlavey, advisors to the language clubs, that in- terest in languages should be stimulated and in- creased. Her great sense of humor and her work with the Student Council make Miss Maloney popular with everyone. '-TE-Bill'Be?gstroms are becoming a family pro- ject at Kensington, as their two sons, John and Peter, entered this year. Bergie is famed throughout the city as one of Buffalo's finest foot- ball and baseball coaches. When not busy with his three little girls, Mr. Alaimo uses his spare time in gardening and re- modeling. Dr. Eagan's motto is, Put your head in gear before you let your mouth run. Mrs. Stewart's work with the Journalism Club causes us to await with happy expectations the next publication of Ken Keynotesf' We are indebted to: Mr. Haynes' work with the Stage Crew, Miss FlierI's dynamic enthusiasm for after-school activities, Miss Panzica's visual-aid work, Dr. Salisbury's fabulous skill in industrial arts, and Miss Davis and Mr. Fisher's help in mak- ing posters and scenery, all which make many of Kensington's functions not only possible, but out- standing. Another English teacher, Mrs. Johns, says, ln- spirations will never hit youl Tennis, chess, golf, fishing, bowling, swimming, and squash are only a few of Mr. MilIard's hobbies. Mrs. Nilson, Miss McGee, Miss Dickman, Miss Valente, Mrs. Fink and Miss Connors are very pro- ficient bowlers. Miss Stoesser, our homemaking teacher, says, Have a goal- a long term plan - and earnestly set out to reach it. Remember, America doesn't make you big, it just gives you the opportunity to be big. Miss Frink's work with the Art Service Club gives Ken students a good opportunity to learn varied phases of art. Miss Steffan's philosophy of life is to follow the Golden Rule. Ardent after-school spectators are: Miss Ken- nedy, Mrs. McKeon, Miss Mayer and Mrs. Leising. Miss Newman believes that You should do all the good you can in all the ways you can. Miss Johnson's students find learning English isn't torture, but real fun in her classes. Miss Nesper, Miss Frink, Mr. O'Donnell, and Mr. Meegan are all personality plus in our books. Mrs. Ruby's pointers on how to be an all-around person will go far with us in life. Continued on page 2l TEACHERS OF KENSINGTON.

Each year at Christmas and Eastertime, Child Care students make hobby horses and Donald Ducks under the direction of Mrs. Hyman and Miss Meach, for their own use or for the enjoy- ment of younger relatives and friends. Under Miss Valente's direction, Margaret Pert and Joan Bernhardt have successfully presented two French Guignol plays, which are similar to our Punch and Judy puppet shows. Diane Maj chrzak and Douglas Robertson provided scenery and a stage for these delightful performances. Mr. Gianturco and Margaret Germain study chemical exhibits made by the students. Miss Davison's physics classes have brought to class visual proof of formulas by working out prac- tical physics problems. Among these were a mer- cury switch by Alicia Phillips and electric mag- nets by Richard Faber and Patricia Pirri. Others included a series of four posters by Barbara Crock- ett, a motor by Joseph Russo, and a neon tube and poster by Donald Getzin. Miss Flierl's honor sophomore classes have successfully read thirty to fifty short stories in a two week period, some students even illustrated or acted them out, Her senior classes have formed discussion groups which write and criticize com- positions written within each section. Donald Getzin, Donald Haag and Robert Battag- lia give shocking demonstrations of electrical hazards in the home, then illustrate correct wiring practices. Donald Wobig demonstrates an epochal devel- opment of our own Niagara frontier-for the transmission of electrical power at high voltage, to avoid prohibitive losses. Robert Mclntosh and Paul Cline give realistic illustration of some of the new topics in the science syllabus with their bread board layouts. Ray Kingston transmits music and voice over radio waves to a radio, while Carl Hollstein trans- mits them over a flashlight beam to a photo- electric cell and a radio. AND THEIR LIFE WITHIN THE SCHOOL Mrs. Leising vivifies and enlivens her classes by correlating mathematics with art. Students in Basic Math classes decorated Room 2ll and sec- ond floor bulletin boards, made scale models of houses and churches, and built clocks to illustrate angles. Mr. Millard's classes write history book reports. They are encouraged to make appropriate book The Custodians Continued from page I9 Mr. Baldwin's praise and constructive criticism help students pick up when behind and maintain good work. Mr. Reilly can well be proud of his son John Jr., who has attained high academic honors in both grammar and high school. Mrs. Corcoran, Mrs. Swayze, Miss Scanlon, Mrs. Lindstrom, Miss Steudle, Miss Goossen, and Mrs. Evans add a real ray of sunshine to their classes. Mrs. Hyman, Miss Meach, and Miss Keicher's fine personalities make their students aim to please. covers, as well as drawings and models of interest- ing historic items.

Re- served, yet resolute, Jerry plays trombone in the band and or- chestra, and has excelled as a member of our Football, Basket- ball, and Track Teams. He also takes an active part in his church functions. Girls' Marshal: Virginia Schenk Efficiency, modesty and compatibility are among the virtues of our petite Girls' Marshal, Virginia Schenk. She has greatly aided Ken by being an officer of the Student Council and a member of the Commerce Club and Compass Literary Staff. Boys' Marshal: Timothy McMullen Our unassuming Boys' Marshal feels more at home in the swimming pool than perhaps any other locality in the school. Temperate Tim was a proud winner in the l2O yd, medley relay at the All-High Meet. We all wish Tim the best of luck in his future endeavors. President: Robert Wrona Although Bob's pleasant smile has won him a host of friends at Ken, our affable president will perhaps be best remembered as a stand-out member of the Cross- Country, Basketball and Baseball Teams. Bob also pro- fesses an interest in popular music, pizza, and a certain young Miss at Sacred Heart Academy. Vice-President: Audrey Forster Our effervescent Vice-President Audrey Forster always has a cheery Hi for everyone. Her ability as a leader has been evident in the offices she has held in the Homemaking Club, Commerce Club and the Student Council. Active in school and Hi-Y affairs, she has been a great asset to Kensington. l Secretary: Nancy Cash Amidst a throng of energetic Ken Students you can usually find our sparkling Secretary, Nancy Cash. VVith integrity and sincerity she assumes jobs in a way which makes her most popular with the members of the Student Council, Art Service Club, and Dance and Decorating Committees to which she be- longs. 24 The Pride of Kensington-Our Knights and Ladies Gloria Bundrock Ruth Jones Joan Marie Bernhardt Q 4 I John Storms Carl Stewart Roger Shields Dear Knights and Ladies, We of Kensington would like to thank you. We thank you for showing us how to shoulder authority, to use ingenuity and to maintain good sportsmanship. We owea great debt to you, our leaders, who have proven to us that it is possible to be a perfect all- around person. By following your example we have learned that through hard work the top mark can be obtained in scholarship, athletics and personal responsibility. Long after we have left our Alma Mater, we shall try to follow your principles of friendliness, faithfulness and promptness. We wish you well in your future and we hope that we shall carry into adulthood the valuable lessons learned from you. Good luck to you, the alumni of Kensington. Sincerely, The Class of i955 25 OUR PAST LIFE FLASHES BEFORE US HISTORY or THE CLASS or 1955 September, 1951 . . . You are there! The event: the Class of 1955 starts to carve its story in the annals of Kensington. This was a year of exciting firsts. lt started with the girls' Hallowe'en Party, when Gloria Bund- rock won the highly coveted ring. We cheered enthusiastically at the pep assem- blies and tried diligently never to miss a sport event. Honors went to Bill Otis and Sam Bevilac- qua for their performances on the frosh football team. We viewed the annual Christmas Pageant with awe and were proud to have Roy Mauerman as the Spirit of Christmas and Robert Farrell, Morton Achter, and Robert Getzin as heralds. After the ordeal of our first mid-term exams, some girls, including Nancy Cash, Gloria Bundrock, and Nancy Westphall took to the pool in prepara- tion for the colorful water show. The year soon drew to a close and we waited anxiously to begin as sophomores. September, 1952. . . You are there! The event: the further exploration of a wonderful new world. We started out the new year right with the help of Velma Young and Andre Namenek, our newly appointed cheerleaders. They swiftly ushered in the football season and continued to lead the cheers for our successful sophomore athletes. Our chess team opened their season in October with Bill Rusch and David Fisher really check- mating the other players and teams. Meanwhile, Ron Ryan and Frank Brill were figuring pretty high in cross-country running. The Yuletide Spirit captured us sophomores for the second time. Appearing in the production were Reginald Canfield, John Storms, and Robert Finucane as shepherds, along with many of our sophomore girls who sang as angels. After the football season, some of our own sophomore girls pinned flowers on the basketball and swimming teams. Already outstanding on the swimming team were All-High Bill Kraus, Tim McMullen, and Marty Kahn. Zipping along into spring, many more future stars appeared. John Storms swirled to success in What a Life? our spring production. Not to be outdone, the girls also made a fine showing in their athletic endeavors. Joanne Nanna's volleyball team almost succeeded in de- feating the seniors. Nancy Blumreich and Barbara Wonacott sur- prised us all. Nancy, with her artfullv kept secret about being the Mystery Girl , and Barbara, with her lovely cultured voice, were both delightful. Barbara's rendition of The Psalms for Easter was inspiring. With exams over, and Margaret Pert high on top of the honor roll, our sophomore year came to an end and we eagerly looked forward to our next year at Ken. September, 1953 . . . You are there! The event: we return to add another chapter to our story. The weeks quickly skimmed by with Audrey For- ster, Sandra Kozlowska, and Rosemary Queeno setting the scholastic pace. On the football field we watched the smooth performances of Dave Spaeth, Jerry Hubert, and Crusher Carl Muehlberger. To welcome Saint Nick, our class proudly presented the second after- school dance, Santa's Snowball, in the school ballroom. John Storms and Nancy Westphall acted as Co-Chairmen. When the basketball season started, we watched Rag Shields and Jerry Hesson play like miniature Bevos to help our team dribble its way to a fine 8-3 record. The swimming team, led by Tim Mc- Mullen, splashed their way to their fourth straight undefeated season. The election of the Junior Officers: Timothy Mc- Mullen, Nancy Cash, Jeanne LaRue, Virginia Schenk, and Roger Shields, made us aware of ap- proaching June exams. On the thrilling night of the junior prom Bob Wrona and Audrey Forster reigned as King and Queen. At the gala Ken Carnival Sally Muran and Dave Spaeth preserved our prestige by winning the three- legged race. With the arrival of spring, Hank Dowski, Joe Folts, and Jim Ursel warmed the tennis-minded heart of coach Norm Millard. September, 1954 . . . You are there! The event: we reach the zenith of our High School Career. Everything was bigger and better than ever. Our football team came through with flying colors under the able leadership of Co-Captains Ron Henry and Rog Shields. During this most import- ant season, Miss O'Meara, up in her little hide- away, uncovered two wonderful performers, Bob Peterson and Carol Kruzicki. Their Rosy and Carl skit will live on forever in the minds of Ken- singtonians. We were also treated to poetical se- lections by our Poet Laureate, Gene Ciminelli. Next came the YuIe Season, Ronald Mutton, Carol Zagarino, and Ronald Trank gave perform- ances that made the pageant outstanding. After vacation and exams, we returned to cheer the basketball and swimming teams on to victory. With the day for wearin' ofthe green ap- proaching, the first floor lrishmen decided to sponsor the Blarney Bounce and decorate the cafeteria with little leprechauns. The third floor raceway meanwhile was being traveled by the track squad. Hard-working senior members in- cluded Gerard Gregoire, Tim McMullen, Jerry Hes- son, and Ron Henry. Election day arrived! Officers were: Robert Wro- na, Audrey Forster, Gerald Hesson, Nancy Cash, Virginia Schenk and Tim McMullen. Thus, we reluctantly prepared ta bring to a close our senior year. Our days at Kensington have been rich in fun and learning. May these experiences guide us as we go forth into the world to put into use the knowledge we have acquired. VALEDICTORY Gloria Bundrock Tonight, we have reached the point in our lives when we must bid farewell to our high school days and prepare to take our place in the world. We feel proud that the culmination of our efforts has resulted in the achieving of our goal, graduation. Yet, we feel reluctant to leave behind our carefree youth to face a world filled with conflicts and un- certainty. Graduation may also mean the termi- nation of friendships which began four years ago, for as we go our separate ways, we realize that our paths may never cross again. Although we must now say good-bye to Ken- sington, we shall always cherish the memories of experiences we have had here. No other time of our lives will mean more to us than these past four years which have slipped so quickly away. We shall never forget our exuberant singing of the football songs or the pride we felt when one of our teams brought home the cup. Regardless of how far away we may be, our Alma Mater will always remain dear to our hearts. Our most sincere appreciation is extended to our former principal, Mr. Chassin, whose loyalty and integrity served as an inspiration for all of us. Typical of his school spirit was the memorable penciI cheer which so endeared him to every student. To Mr. Roberts we are deeply indebted. Al- though he has been principal at Kensington only a short time, he has won the respect and admira- tion of the entire student body. We express our gratitude to Mr. Axlerod. His courteous and genial manner has made him a person not only to be esteemed but to be valued as a friend. We are grateful also to our teachers without whose unfailing patience we would not be honored here tonight. They have not only ably instructed us in required subject matter, but have also en- deavored to enable us to think clearly and make our own decisions. Most of all, we wish to thank our parents for the confidence they have had in us. They have constantly given us encouragement and instilled in us the desire for advancement. We, the class of l955, are now confronted with the task of facing the future. Our life on this earth may at times prove to be arduous. ln this atomic age the threat of war is becoming more and more imminent. Throughout the years we will strive to use the knowledge and democratic concepts we have gained at Kensington in becoming responsible citizens and in encouraging worlcl peace, Tonight, we leave those hallowed halls with as- surance and the knowledge that the wide world is all before us. f LX!

CLASSES ALSO ARE ROUTES TO TREASURES OF WISDOM AND EDUCATION.

FOR MANY THINGS WHICH HURT, INSTRUCT. AFTER THE VOYAGES OF THE EXPLORERS, C OLONIES WERE FOUNDED, LAND WAS CLEARED, RESOURCES WERE DEVELOPED, AND GREAT N EW NATIONS GREW UP. IN THE SAME WAY, ED- UCATION CLEARS OUR UNDEVELOPED MINDS OF CHILDISH IDEAS AND PROVIDES FIRM GROUND ON WHICH TO BASE SOUND THINKING. IT GIVES US A GOOD START IN LIFE BY CLEARING AWAY INTOLERANCE AND IGNORANCE, THE WEEDS AND UNDERBRUSH OF THE MIND, AND DEVELOPING OUR GREAT MENTAL RESOURCES, ENABLING US TO REALIZE OUR POTENTIAL ABILITIES. THE DISCOVERERS WERE INSPIRED IN TH EIR SEARCHES BY A CURIOSITY ABOUT THE EARTH AND THE LIFE UPON IT. WE ALSO HAVE A CURIOSITY ABOUT THE EARTH, AND THE INTELLECTUAL ADVANCE WHICH EACH CLASS BRINGS WILL SATISFY OUR THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SOME THINGS, WHILE MAKING US VVONDER ABOUT OTHERS. TOWER- ING GENIUS DISDAINS A BEATEN PATH , SO W E SHOULD HAVE COURAGE TO VENTURE INTO UNCHARTED REGIONS OF THE MIND, AS THEY VENTURED INTO UNCHARTED REGIONS OF THE EARTH. AT THE END OF OUR SENIOR YEAR, WHEN WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE MADE THE BEST USE OF OUR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, WE WILL REALIZE THAT OUR EFFORTS TO HELP OURSELVES ACHIEVE OUR GOALS THROUGH EDUCATION VVERE WORTHWHILE, BECAUSE THE REWARD OF A THING WELL DONE IS TO HAVE DONE IT.

Besides being on the honor roll, she takes an active part in Student Council and Council on World Af- fairs, for which she was a delegate to the Model United Nations Assembly at State Teachers Col- lege . . . a very capable gal for this position! Sally Heeb, Girls' Marshal Always ready with a smile, our pert Girls' Mar- shal has won many friends. She's well-known for her enthusiasm in and out of school, as has been evident in her work on several school dance com- mittees. After high school she plans to go into secretarial work. Marlene Kuske, Vice-President Our popular veep is always busy. Not con- tent to rest on her laurels after being on the cham- pion volleyball team for three years, and top bowl- ing team of this year, she has gone out for basket- ball, skating, baseball and badminton. lf we were to have a lO Best-Dressed list at Ken she would certainly be on it, for her neatness and charm are hard to beat. Anthony Lemper, Treasurer' Athletically inclined Toni Lemper was the boy to see about our Junior dues and other financial matters. Known around the school for his distinc- tive manner and physical capabilities, Tony is equally capable in his school subjects. His prowess as a member of our swimming team has won him All-High honors. Michael Sullivan, Boys' Marshal The industrious lrishman of 205, Mike Sul- livan, was our choice for Boys' Marshal. Devoting .much of his time to maintaining his desirable scholastic average, Mike nevertheless finds time to satisfy his interest in sports, especially track and cross-country. His quiet, assuring manner has made him known and liked by everyone. . . FUTURE SENIORS J is for the jubilant way they greet you, U means upperclassmen at long last! N is for their never dying spirit, I means ideal friendships they have cast. 0 means overpowered by no others, R means rugged sportsmen in their class. S umming up these words will give you Juniors - the best year now or ever in the past. Noticeable in one of the boys' lockers was a picture of our own Betty Co-Ed. As this fellow was determined to keep his treasure, only a meager description can be given. She has: . . The smooth shining hair of Beverly Full. . . Sparkling eyes of Mary Ann Burke. . . A tantalizingly-tilted nose like Carol Olsen's. . . . Judy Albright's captivating smile, the joy of any dentist. . . . Feminine qualities such as possessed by our Venus, Sandy Long. . . . Smart wardrobe and model-like carriage of Carol Wortman. To look at her you know she must also have: . . . Carol Boesl's keen mind. . . . The melodious voice of Betsey-Jill Herbold. . . . The athletic versatility of Mercita Binner, 'to keep one step ahead of the crowd. . . . An infectious smile mirroring Joan Breeser's fine sense of humor. . . . And as the final touch, the personality plus of Marlene Kuske. ln another section it appears as though the Hollywood boys aren't what the Ken girls want. Taped to all available locker-door space are snapshots of our Joe College. He has: . . Dancing feet like Frank Payne. . . . ls clad in Louis Crapsi's disreputable saddle shoes. . . . Has Dick Bartha's charcoal grey slacks. . . . Treasures a V-neck sweater from Bob Mcln- tosh's collection. And to make those clothes look right, he posses- es: . . . The masculine physique of Fred McNeil. He would not be complete without: . . . The rough and tough athletic prowess of Al Mudd. . . . Resonant tones of Jack D'Amico's voice teamed with Al Dolata's quick wit and clever comments. . . . Nick Longo's friendly, easy-going person- ality - topped off with: Jeff Cunius's brush cut.

Now the sophomores stand midway in their high school careers, happily antici- pating two promising years ahead. Their hopes and ideals have soared high, their feet have re- mained on solid ground. Serious efforts have been sparked by youthful cheer and enthusiasm. How They Spell Sophomores . . Scholarship The sophomore class takes pride in its honor roll. Roseann Rothfuss, Marilyn Aust, Betty Gib- son, Marcia Pogorzala, and Barbara Lang rank high among the intellectual elite. Keep up the good work! Originality When it comes to artistic skill Dawn Schaefer and Bob Kalbfleisch are tops. Their beautiful draw- ings for the Compass demonstrate zeal and crea- tive intelligence. Perseverance The constant efforts of Dennis Dux were re- warded when he won the All-High third singles tennis match, quite an achievement for a lower classman! Greater things are expected from frog- men Thomas Niezgoda and Paul Kreinheder, bas- ketball enthusiasts Robert Heberlein and James Ryan, and sturdy Junior Varsity football players, John Smith and Paul Mudd, as they develop through tireless practice. Humor Kevin Walsh, a rising basketball star, is famous for his ability to consume Gargantuan amounts of food. Barb Rothman, always ready with a lively quip, also collects menus. No doubt Barb will be an excellent cook! Optimism Optimism is a watch word among sophomores. Cheerful all-around athletes Lindo Best, Ennia Sciamanna, and Loretta Silvaroli represent the love of life so prevalent among sophomores. Musical Ability Through their many talents Nancy Reid and Gayel Panke have brightened life at the Veterans' Hospital. Gerard Eckert, a distinguished pianist, impressed the student body with his interpretation ofa Chopin Etude. Bill Blumreich portrayed a dignified king in the Christmas pageant. Oratory Two talented orators, Richard Venator and Paul Jarocki, are working toward future success in the Voice of Democracy Contest. Reliability Hats off to all the sophs who have done extra work without any glory! Enthusiasm Through their dynamic and enthusiastic efforts cheerleaders Hedda Sproghe and Miles Mounteney have made Kensington a brighter, more animated place of learning. Hedda's bobbing ponytail might well be a trademark of the class. Sociability The social aspects of our school life give many students an opportunity to unfold their natural abilities. Laureen Muto and Tony Spirito Santo, Co-Chairmen of the Heart Beat Hop , and Carol Bielicki, Judy Watts, and Nancy Schweichler, on the dance committees, have reflected creative in- genuity in their various assignments. Fortunate indeed were the sophomores when Sharon Rommel became the lovely Queen of the Snowflake Swirl. Many other sophomores doing their daily work, loyally supporting athletics, and simply being friendly, are a vital part of Kensington High School. The many, as well as the few, have made l955's sophomore class outstanding! OUR SOPHOMORES LOVE LIFE . . . ROOMS 205, 207 Bottom Row: C. Hoffman, W. Hirsch, T. Berger, R. Crego, D. Bogey, F.

All over the city, alarm clocks wakened the future freshmen of Kensington High School. Little did the unwarv upperclassmen realize that in their midst soon would arrive such outstanding Kensingtonians as the talented vocalist, Joan Shingles. Future suc- cess to you, Joan! Ken is also generously sprinkled with freshman brains , Richard Mellerski, Cynthia Theiser and Elizabeth Marsley were top three in January. The king and queen of the Heart Beat Hop were freshmen also, Pat Kieffer and George Reeves. The King of the Snowflake Swirl was naturally one of our stupendous freshmen, John Rights. Freshman Hallowe'en Party As always, the Hallowe'en party was overflow- ing with laughter, gay costumes, and the ever- popular cider and doughnuts. Nothing was over- looked: the colorful grand march, the traditional gold ring, the manv prizes, and the customary en- tertainment were all part of the fun enjoyed by the Freshman girls. THOSE. Believe It or Not Ken's stage crew is assisted by the indispens- ables, George Kern and Gary Hall. Although only a teensy-weensy freshman, John Mauer has already become a member of Mr. Mil- lard's varsity chess team. Judy Fritzinger and Pat Freiert consume a bottle of olives between them per diem. When you were cheering our football team last autumn, did you know one of your classmates, Dick VVebb, was on the field scoring points? Charles Moser, whose hobby is electronics, aper- ates a small Radio and T. V. Repair Shop. James Wind and Jerry McClure are freshman WKEN Staff members. Juanita and Audrey Granata, two popular fresh- men lof Spanish descent? are from a family of ten: four boys, four girls and, of course, Mom and Dad. Both Gaetan Di Biasio's maternal and paternal grandparents have been married fifty years. Seeing double? No, it's only our twins, Mada- lyn and Rosalyn Ott, and Russel and Charles Vo- winkel. To escape from the hardship and boredom of school, Joyce Mindak and Susan Weber vacationed in luxurious Florida for four and three weeks re- spectively. -.... lv: r- . iw,-, ,, ' Q , - s--Z-1 OUR FRESHMEN FACE A HAPPY FUTURE . . .

RESOURCES TO FORGE A NEW LIFE AND A BETTER CIVILIZATION FROM THE WILDERNESS OF THE NEW WORLD, SO WE, THROUGH THE CULTURAL, ARTISTIC, AND ATH- LETIC ACTIVITIES OF OUR SCHOOL, HAVE OPENED NEW WORLDS OF IDEAS AND INTERESTS FOR OURSELVES. TURNING BACK THROUGH THE PAGES OF HISTORY, WE DISCOVER THAT THE PIONEERS WHO TAMED THESE VAST TRACTS OF VIRGIN TERRITORY, PLAYED TOGETHER AS THEY WORKED TOGETHER. SEWING AND HUSKING BEES, CABIN RAISINGS AND DANCES HELPED THEM TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER. THE DESTINY OF THE NEW WORLD WAS SHAPED BY INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE CONSTANT- LY SEARCHING FOR CHALLENGES AND THE FREEDOM TO EXPRESS THEIR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS. THUS WE, TOO, THROUGH OUR EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, HAVE OPENED FOR OUR- SELVES NEW VISTAS OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION. WE HAVE COME TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER BETTER AND I-IAVE LEARNED THE VALUE OF FAIR PLAY AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP. THESE LESSONS WILL BE OF INVALUABLE WORTH TO US ON THOSE WIDER HORIZONS LOOMING AHEAD, AS WE STEP INTO THE NEW WORLD BEYOND THE PORTALS OF KENSINGTON. OUR EARTH IS LITERALLY SEETHING WITH ACTIVITIES -VARIED, MULTIFARIOUS - MORE NUMEROUS AND MORE COMPLEX THAN MAN'S MIND CAN IMAGINE. OUR EARTH AND THE LIFE UPON IT!

THE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW! Every effort was made by the literary staff to make this Compass a superior yearbook. Many hours were spent collecting the necessary informa- tion and assembling it with diligence and care. Tirelessly they corrected, rewrote, and proofread their manuscripts until everything was as flawless as possible. Although the job was tremendous, everyone derived a great deal of satisfaction and pleasure therefrom. Front Center: M. Giacalone, M. Binner. Second Row: R. Trank, C, Nepakroeff, A. Huber, P.

BEAUTIFYING OUR YEARBOOK ART CO-EDITORS This year's art editors, Carol Baun and Nancy Blum- reich, have headed the staff which has produced the fine art work contained in this edition. Their many duties have included gathering reference material about the theme, and advising, criticizing and also inspiring the staff to greater efforts. Nancy and Carol are to be commended for their own fine work and leadership. Art Co-Eddors: Carol Baun, Nancy Blumreich. ABSTRACT, COLLAGE, DESIGN . ART STAFF The Art Staff is the group responsible for the illustrations in our Compass. To accurately trans- late from ideas into pictures, all of life on earth from creation to the present time, staff members must have a thorough understanding of the theme and a deep knowledge of the techniques of their craft. They earn the right to be on the staff by competing for the best drawings. This year they overcame the obstacle of working in a new me- dium, scratchboard. Congratulations on a fine piece of work! S.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL To assist the faculty in school problems and to arouse the interest of the students in all oc- tivities of the school are segments of the purpose of the Kensington Student Council. This purpose has truly been fulfilled by the enthusiastic help of the members of various committees. The students greatly appreciate the efforts of the Honor Roll Committee to liven the honor as- semblies. The change made by the Cafeteria Committee in providing monitors has produced a noticeable improvement in various aspects of cafeteria life. Posters by the No-Smoking Committee called attention to fire hazards and emphasized the im- portance of refraining from this practice in school. The Student Council also sponsored the first dance of the year, the Snowflake Swirl, for which one thousand tickets were sold. The Ken Karnival was again a tremendous success.

BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE CLASSROOM To supplement their classroom activities, teach- ers often request many of the excellent films which can be procured from the Audio-Visual Aids Group. Besides supplying films, this group furnishes slides, record players, opaque projectors, film strip projectors and a tape recorder. Headquarters is Room 4l2, where Miss Panzica, their adviser, supervises and trains operators. Be- hind the scenes, secretaries write up teachers' orders for Visual Aid materials, make out film assignments and deliver notices. With the co- operation of the whole staff, film schedules are kept running smoothly for the benefit of the en- tire school. Certainly this group deserves a note of thanks, for not only does Visual Aids bring reward into the classroom, it also helps the students to under- stand the subject matter more thoroughly.

ONE IS WAR, THE OTHER ATH- LETICS. WAR ISAVIOLENT, DISTURBINGg ATHLETICS ARE PEACEFUL, FRIENDLY, EARLY IN HUMAN HISTORY ATHLETIC GAMES WERE FIRST ESTABLISHED. LIKEWISE THE PERENNIAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN MEN, CALLED WAR, BEGAN IN THE DAWN OF HISTORICAL TIME. TO THE GREEKS WAR AND ATHLETICS WERE CLOSELY RELATED. AS WAR MEANS AGGRES- SIVENESS AND BRUTALITY, ATHLETICS MEAN CONSTRUCTIVE COMPETITION. THE YOUTH PRACTICES STRATEGY ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD, THE SOLDIER MANEUVERS FOR LIFE AND DEATH ON THE BATTLEFIELD. THE BASKETBALL PLAYER CLEVERLY DEVELOPS ALERTNESS, THE PILOT'S SPLIT-SECOND THINKING SAVES A LIFE. WARS HAVE ALWAYS MENACED MANKIND. REVOLUTIONS HAVE CAST THEIR SHADOWS ON AMERICA, FRANCE, AND RUSSIA BUT TO SOME EXTENT HAVE BROUGHT THE DREAMED OF FREEDOM TO THOSE WHO SUFFERED FOR IT. IN THE FUTURE YOU TOO MAY HAVE TO SUFFER FOR THESE IDEALS AND DESIRES. BUT IS WAR ALL DESTRUCTIVE? CULTURE HAS BEEN DISSEMINATED IN THE AFTERMATH OF WAR. IN THE GREEK WARS, GREEK ARTS, ARCHITECTURE, FURNITURE AND COSTUMES WERE BROUGHT TO THE FARFLUNG CORNERS OF THE GLOBE. EVERY WAR HAS OPENED UP NEW CHANNELS. THOUGH THESE ARE SOME GOOD EFFECTS, THECHAOS AND CONFUSION, THE BITTERNESS AND BLOODSHED OF WARS, FAR OUTWEIGHS THEM. PERHAPS MAN REALLY PREFERS THE ARTS OF PEACEFUL COMPETITION. LET US HOPE THAT SOME DAY THERE WILL BE NO WARS ON EARTH . . . THAT THERE WILL BE EARTHLY PEACE. TILL THE WAR DRUM THROBBED NO LONGER, AND THE BATTLE FLAGS WERE FURLED.

The Kensington Football team, coached by Bill Bergstrom, finished second this year with a record of 5 wins and I loss. In the first game, Ken was behind I9-7 at half- time, but recovered to tie the score at I9 all. Then with 4 seconds remaining, Jerry Hesson intercepted a pass and went all the way for the touchdown that gave Ken a 25-I9 decision. The Seneca game had all the makings of a O-0 tie when Al Mudd threw a pass to Jerry Hesson in the end zone with I second remaining to give Ken a 6-O victory. Next the boys trampled McKinley 24-6. A muddy field slowed the Knights down, but they edged Riverside 7-6. VARSITY TEAM Bottom Row: R. Barnes, R. Shields. F. Burns, W. Otis, G. Cimlnelli, R. Battaglia, G. Roedel, J. Hubert, G. Hesson.

A last minute rally failed when the place kick was blocked, and Burgard won 7-6. On Thanksgiving Day, Ken scored another shut- out, defeating Bennett I4-O in the traditional game. Ron Henry led the league in rushing, with an average of 8.8 yards per carry. He ran up a total of 272 yards in 31 carries.

Interest in the Golf Club has fallen off in the past two years - primarily because those who like the game and want to belong have to underwrite expenses when they play host to another school. While golf is not officially recognized, the boys are endeavoring to secure matches with Timon, Bennett, Canisius, Shaker Heights in Cleveland, and Tech in Erie, Pennsylvania. During the June 3 weekend the club stayed at the modern YMCA in Cleveland. Obviously, the boys did not lack for leisure-time activities when they were not on the golf course. They played on both the nationally known and difficult course at Highland Park, and the ex- clusive Shaker Heights Country Club. During the year, films were presented on one of the Tam O' Shanter tournaments, Golf Magic and Beginning Golf. ln their first Match Play Tournament, Don Wobig defeated Ralph Betz 6-4. Because it was Don's first match, he was given a whopping 46 handicap against Ralph's l2. Congratulations to both of youl AND LET'S REALLY HEAR IT! A rhythmical flurry of arms and legsl There we have the cheerleaders of Kensington High School. Always backing Ken's athletic ventures, the cheerleaders give confidence to the men in play and provide spirit which leads to success. Proof of their enthusiasm was the introduction of the new victory cheer, Say Team! This year our cheerleaders extended their abili- ties by teaching cheers to the pupils of School 87, thus bringing cheerleading into the grammar schools for the first time. A IO7 CHEERLEADERS A.

Our next game, against South Park, saw the Knights a slight un- derdog, but the Knights, led by Sam Bevilacqua, with 23, smashed South Park 85-64. ln our next game against Burgard, Ken was a definite under-- dog against the powerful league leader, but the Knights, after trailing at the half-time, absorbed a talk by Coach Nilson, out-played, out-jumped, and out-scored the Bulldogs in the second half and We split the next two games, beating McKinley 62-30 and losing to East 57-47.

The soloists also assisted Miss Moore in the group numbers, giving excellent performances in both the after- noon and evening shows on May l2 and l3. Underwater speakers, a new feature this year, Woods, enabled the swimmers to perform in better syn- chronization than before. Our underwater light- ing has been doubled. We now have a total of eight underwater lights, which enable the audience to see the performance more clearly. Every participant in Water Ballet in the U.S.A. was an outstanding star.

As we approach the wars of life we humbly leave' Barbara McCauley's frenzied fiction to future novelist Joyce Knott. Carl Crusher Muehlberger's football passes to all future Rose Bowl contestants of America. Patricia Garrold's infamous answers in history class to Emily Rogge. ' Virginia Schenk's bubbling and bouncy enthusiasm to Judy lngraham. Shirley Meger's and Barbara Whissel's scrump- tious pizza to Geraldine Cancelli. Rosemary Queeno's and Gloria Bundrock's theme song I May Be Wrong But, to Ellen Thomson and John Reilly. And now we ponder on our twins: Judy and Delphine Hruby leave the query, Which twin has the Toni? to all future twins of Ken- sington, male or female. Jean and June Neuner leave their cheerful smiles and friendly appearance to all teachers, to brighten up their days, especially BLUE MON- DAYS. In the realm of ROMANCE, the following HEARTS AND FLOWERS are left: All engagement rings of the Senior class are left with best wishes to the spinsters of America and their clubs throughout the country. Casanova Kelly, alias Phil Gentner, wills his indescribable charm to Wayne Vernon. Carol Gangnagel leaves her famous blushes to every shy and diffident Junior boy. Bill Kraus' All-High medal we leave to Joanna Rose to wear forever. The following will be of great interest to every Junior girl who wishes to spend that lonely Satur- day evening with a FRIEND! To come to the point -- those lucky, lucky Junior girls receive Nancy Westphall's date list, which they may divide among themselves. LEFT BEHIND . To continue in the realm of romance: To next year's Romeo and Juliet, Sally Muran and David Spaeth leave o chapter from their romance. Carol Cronyon's half a carat we give back to Bugs Bunny, who would rather have a whole one. Sam Don Juan Bevilacqua's stupendous popular- ity with the girls is willed to Jeff Cunius. These precious items, we do impart with sincere wishes from our heart: Some junkyard in the city of Buffalo is granted John Storms' bass saxophone, which was run over by a truck at All-High Stadium. The English Comedy of Arlene Szymanski is be- queathed to Miss Maloney to use as she sees fit to augment her wit. Freck!es, otherwise known as Marie Bentley, of- fers her nickname to any freckled-faced Junior who wishes to adopt it. Carol Scharhag's horses fnot in the stablel we transmit to Mr. Duquin to win a race with. Fire and Ice Lois Leibler's shy but cute manners we bestow on Joyce Walberg. By the way, we would like to get a word in about kneesocks: Kneesocks a la Carole Schaefer attributes her invention to every Freshman who wants to per- petuate this fashion. And furthermore: All mad scientists who invade the physics lab re- ceive Bob Sawyer's electrical wizardry. Carol Kruzicki permits Katherine Cornell to imi- tate her great Thespian ability. Anyone who is ever approached by the inquiring reporter is the lucky recipient of Sam Lauricel- la's definitely negative answers. That oh so heavenly dinner jacket of Clark Triftshauser is conferred upon anyone tall enough to wear it. Here is your chance, fellows. Nancy Blumreich and Carol Baun, Ken's future American artists, leave their talent to the kin- dergartens of Buffalo. We also have some personality traits that must be disposed of before it is too late: The pride and dignity of the I955 class goes to the class of l956. Francis Bruno leaves her bright disposition to Elaine Jakubiak to cheer up the corridors of Kensington. Pert and vivacious Jean LaRue's smile we award to Dick Faber. WHO ELSE? LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1955 The popularity and kindness of Carl Stewart are bequeathed to anyone who can come up to the high standards they require. The versatile 'all 'round ability of Gerald Hesson we assign to Robert Barnes. Andre Namenek's ability to keep an audience spell- bound lor are they sleeping?l he dedicates to Curtiss Berger.

The Seniors' lockers on the first floor to the fresh- men, so they won't have to climb up the stairs every morning.

Dizzy Gillespie's band is fortunate to acquire the trumpet of Bob Agthe. Frances Diodato, with fiendish glee, bequeaths her flashing baton to Pete Kern.

Anthony Raosto dedicates his sovoir-faire to aspir- ing Junior Thespians. Gene Ciminelli tour great poetl leaves his works of art to all the William Shakespeare Fan Clubs over the world.

Build Coke bars in each of the corridors so that the students may enjoy the pause that re- freshes. ln closing, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. Fi- nally to all the teachers, old or new, Mr. Chassin, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Axlerod, and the office staff, we extend a very sincere thank you. IN WITNESS WHEREOF AND IN THE PRES- ENCE OF EACH OTHER, we have hereunto set our hands and seal in this our Last Will and Testa- ment in the year of our Lord l955.

IT IS A MIRROR WHICH COPIES IN PERFECT DETAIL THE MYRIAD ACTIVITIES OF MANKIND. THE DAILY ROUTINE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL IS GREATLY DEPENDENT UPON ADVERTISING AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION. OUR MODERN WORLD, BECAUSE OF FASTER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANS- PORTATION, IS LITERALLY GROWING SMALLER. THIS SHRINKING DEMONSTRATES THE POWER OF ADVERTISING, WHICH STIMULATES AMBITION AND THE DESIRE TO POSSESS, THE STRONG- EST SPARK TO PRODUCTION. MANY COMFORTS AND LUXURIES ARE MADE KNPOWN, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TO AMERICA, VERY QUICKLY TO THE WHOLE WORLD, AND SOON BECOME A PART OF PEOPLE'S LIVES. ADVERTISING IS THE ESSENCE OF INDUSTRY, OF DEMOCRACY, OF THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE. SINCE ADVERTISING FOCUSES PUBLIC ATTENTION ON QUALITY, EVERY MANUFACTURER MUST STRIVE, THROUGH CONTINUOUS RESEARCH, TO IMPROVE HIS PRODUCT. THE RESULT IS THAT ADVERTISING HAS BECOME A MAJOR BUSINESS UNDERTAKING. OUR ECONOMY IS BASED ON HUGE PRODUCTION CONTROLLED BY MASS CONSUMPTION. IT SUSTAINS A SYSTEM THAT HAS MADE US THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD. THE AMERICAN WAY: FREE ENTERPRISE! I44 145 No T XXX?

The editors, the staffs and faculty advisers appreciate your assist- ance. Here are but a few non-staff members who were especially helpful: Christine Pokorski, James Holder, William Rusch, Judy Fritzinger, Pat Freiert, Judy Hangauer, Eugene Pfeiffer, Geraldine Schwartz, Carol Bestine, Carol Gangnagel, Carolyn Klass, Joan Marie Bernhardt, Beverly MacKearnin, Sharlene Bolt, Marty Kahn, Maria Notar, Dave Spaeth, William Carpenter, Noreen Mullen, Gary Pache. We express our gratitude to all the teachers for their willing and capable guidance. The fine work of the physical education depart- ment in special assembles, dances and extra-cur- ricular activities, will not go unheralded. Because so many have aided and endured with us through our trials and tribulations, we could not possibly have ample space to complete this list. So we thank each and every one. l67 Continued from page 69 Diemert, Robert' Dubiel, Judith Dyczkowski, Susan Dziak, Christine' ' ' Edwards, Marian' ' Ehlers, Gladys' Fenski, Carol ' ' ' ' Freiert, Patricia' ' Galinski, Audrey' Gehring, EIlen Gerace, Joanne Gladowski, Barbara 'kkkk Gleason, Janice' Gohn, Lloyd ' Gross, Robert' Hahin, Sylvia ' Harrington, Leland Harvath, Anne Hauser, Gretchen ' Haberlein, Barbara ' Heidenburg, Carol' Helta, Judy ' Henzler, Linda ' Hess, James' Hoffman, Lois ' Hogan, Judy lhlenfeld, Richard' lzydarczak, Diane' HONCR ROLL Jacobs, Ka ren' ' Jansma, Elizabeth' ' ' kk k kkkk ki: 'k k Neureuther, Faith Jenis, Edwin Klein, Nancy Kavop, Esther' Kucinski, Audrey Langgood, June ' Leible, Annette Leney, Carole Lock, Sylvia ' Lukasik, Janet Mac Lawrey, Donald 'kkk Majchrowicz, Rosaline kk Marchinda, Margaret kkk Marsley, Elizabeth Martina, Betty Mast, Alvin' McClure, Jerald ' McKennan, Joyce McNeeley, Kathleen kkkk Mellerski, Richard Miller, Donna' Mindak, Eleanor Mindak, Joyce Moser, Charles 'kk Nevergold, Paul' ' Nicklas, Janice' ' Oakes, Linda' Opala, Judith Ott, Madalyn Panosky, Anatoly' ' ' Paribello, Beverly' Patterson, Gloria Pauly, Carol Pavlish, Helen Pavone, Dawn ' Pfieffer, Eugene ' Poch, Anita Radcliffe, George' Rickard, Carole Russell, Joan' Schaefer, Patricia Schall, Patricia' Scherer, Rachel Schlothauer, Barbara ' ' Schulz, June' ' ' Searles, Sandra' ' ' ' Senefelder, Judith' ' ' ' Siepielski, Lucean ' Simoneit, Patricia' Skowron, Donald' Smith, Carol' Smith, Susan Sobczak, Joan Spann, Faith Staebell, Marguerite' Stahl, Mary Steinhilber, Barbara kkkk Stockman, David ' Swanson, Sharon ' Swick, Wayne Syhlowy, Harriet Szuba, Christine ' Theiss, Cynthia' ' ' Tober, Gary' ' ' ' Tomaszewski, Joyce k k k k Ucci, Delores' ' ' ' Veronica, Larry' Vesper, Gayle Vohwinkel, Russell' Vona, Lillian' Voss, Carol Walterich, Joanne' Way, Richard Wetzel, Dorothy' Wiegand, .James' Wiegert, Phyllis Willard, Judith Winter, Linda' Wroblewski, Carolyn' Zagarino, Judith' ' ' ' 'kkk C.

ROBERTS' MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATES TO THE SENIORS OF 1955: May I call your attention to a challenge, perhaps the major one which confronts Americans who live in the latter half of the twentieth century? An unusual series of photographs now being shown in a national weekly portray that America is a favored land in which freedom is lived to a higher degree than ever before. Much of the credit for this great privilege is due to the fact that for two centuries there was always a frontier moving slowly west toward the Pacific Ocean. The struggles to overcome the perils of the wilderness beyond the frontier developed men of courage, leadership and in- dividuality which set the pattern for the American way of life. Our schools have also had this great purpose in developing the individual accord- ing to his needs and abilities. ln spite of the complexity of the present atomic age, I ask you to continue your belief in individual thinking and democratic prgocedure as your high school teaching has directed. Keep your independence and freedom as in the frontier days and do not surrender them for the material benefits of so-called security. The obligation upon us is clear: To labor earnestly, patiently, prayerfully, for peace, for freedom, for justice throughout the world. - from President Eisenhower's State of the Union Message, January, 1955 VWkfgfQ, R I I f. intl' ZA A U f0Y-E an.: . , f, T' V,-,J I 1. ,L 1 ' I Y YYY Y H Mvsf L ,5f.,11 K-ff! . 180 M,,,M'b f0f , mM MZ fQ2w,f Qf ?
