SENIORS YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF YESTERDAY PREPARING TO ENTER THE ADULT WORLD OF TOMORROW. YOU ARE ABOUT TO BREAK AWAY FROM AN AUTHORITATIVE WORLD OF MUST'S AND DO'S, IMPOSED BY PARENTS AND COUNSELORS, INTO A PERMISSIVE WORLD OF LIKE'S AND WILL'S. YOU WILL LEAVE THE PROTECTION OF YOUR FAMILIES AND ENTER WORLDS OF RE- SPONSIBILITIES OF YOUR OWN MAKING AND CHOOSING. IN YOU, ALL HOPE FOR THE FUTURE LIES. CONQUESTS HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE, BUT NONE TO EQUAL THOSE YOU WILL MAKE. EMPIRES HAVE RISEN TO ASTOUNDING HEIGHTS, BUT HISTORY NOW RECORDS THEIR DECLINE. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY WILL LIE IN BUILDING A FOREVER EMPIRE - A UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY. HISTORY IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONQUESTS, HUMANITY IS READY FOR YOUR CONTRI- BUTIONS - YOUR PAINTING, YOUR BOOKS, YOUR BUILDINGS, YOUR INVENTIONS, AND YOUR WONDERFUL DISCOVERIES. AS YEARS PASS YOUR NAMES WILL REPLACE THE NAMES OF OTHERS. WITHIN YOUR GRASP IS FAME, FOR YOU ARE TOMORROW'S LEADERS, STATESMEN, DOCTORS, EDUCATORS, AND SCIENTISTS. YOU WILL BE THE AUTHORITIES, THE MASTERS, THE CREATORS OF A GOLD- EN AGE. LIFE GOES NOT BACKWARD NOR TARRIES WITH YESTERDAY. YOUR NAME IS HOPE. YOU ARE TOMORROW! .LQTGES X1 22

INTRODUCING OUR SENIOR OFFICERS OF 1955 Treasurer: Gerald Hesson For the two brief years that Jerry has resided at Ken, he has certainly added much to the school and the community. 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
