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
