DEDICATICN Mr. McMahon John J. 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.
