Kenmore High School - Kenitorial Yearbook (Kenmore, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1937 volume:

'Tot pecficaztion THE SENIORS PRESENT Mr. Raymond Frazier Assistant Principal of Kenmore High School TARTING his thirteenth year at Kenmore this last semester, Mr. Frazier has done much in pro- moting our school organizations as well as aiding the students in their various interests. When he started his work in this school as head of the commercial depart- ment, there was only one instructor. Through his deep foresight, which truly characterizes him, he has increased his department to eight teachers in the senior high school. The record of his advancement shows that his staff today is regarded by educational leaders as one of the finest units of its kind in New York State. Aside from his teaching duties, he has acted as financial director for all school activities and functions. At no time has he failed to help a class or organization in any task that they might choose to undertake. One of the many activities that he has done for several years is his supervisory work of managing all financial affairs of the yearbook, The Kenitorialf' During the time that he has been at Kenmore all who have known him have admired him for his manner and desire to cooperate. His record stands unchallenged. Our deep respect for him is due to his salient qualities of friendship and understanding for the students both in and out of the class room. It is with the sincere thought in mind that he symbolizes a progressive spirit that the senior class of Kenmore High School dedicates their 1937 Kenitorial to Mr. Raymond S. Frazier.

The two colors of our school, blue and white, are the two symbols of that underlying principle of progressive movement. Although these colors appear attractive together, their true significance lies in what they represent: blue for sincerity of purpose, and white for purity of ideals. These two purposes have entwined themselves around the hearts of the members of the student, faculty, and administrative groups. This same spirit has exemplified itself in this progressive community. Without the neces- sary strength of foundation, Kenmore would have never reached such a stage of development. Our school has become much more than a place to come to leam the facts of mathematics, science, English, and the other elements of education. It has become the haven for the expression of the creative energy of youth. It has been the medium that youth has used to strengthen himself physically, mentally, morally, and socially. The influence which it has exerted has done much in extending and preserving American ideals and principles. It is with pride and satisfaction that the Kenmore High School yearbook, The Kenitorial, for the year 1937 commemorates Kenmore in spirit and the results of its energetic citizens.

You are approaching the climax of your high school career. After graduation you will not be forgotten. We shall continue to rejoice with you in success and in the event your ambitions are for a time not fully realized, never lose sight of your original goal of high endeavor. DR. ELMER L. SLEEPER President of the Board of Education FRANK C. DENSBERGER Superintendent of Schools JOHN E. DEMOREST Supervisor of Secondary Education R. G. FREEMAN, Principal You, the members of the class of 1937, have nearly completed your high school course. I have enjoyed my work with your group but regret that the large size of our school prevents my knowing personally each member of the class. I hope that we may sometime become better acquainted. I trust that you have benefited by your contacts with the school. Among the aims of our in- stitution are the broadening of your viewpoint, a fuller life, and a greater attainment of the ideals of citizenship. In the past we have been proud of the records of our graduates. I know that we shall be equally proud of your group and interested in what you may accomplish. May you be happy and successful in your life's work. ROY G. FREEMAN Principal of Kenmore High School EXECUTIVES RAYMOND S. FRAZIER Vice Principal CARL W.

At faculty meetings held once a month, questions of routine are considered. Enlarging upon the work of the regular faculty meetings, departmental gatherings are also held to discuss new methods of teaching and study. In accordance with the idea that teaching is a profession on a par with medicine and law, teachers keep themselves lit by reading widely and attending summer sessions. This year the members of the faculty, under the direction of Miss Eve Strong, participated in the performance of Ladies of the Jury for the benefit of the P. T. A. Other interests that add variety to faculty life are bridge clubs, riding units, and bowling organizations. Under the sponsorship of the Boys' Letter Club this year, the male members of the faculty and the varsity basketball squad played two exhibition games. First Row: T. Sickmann, J. Underwood, G.

As the school year opened, the junior class of 1936-1937 chose as their president, Alfred Corti- Roy Weber was elected vice-president: Rhoda Ann Duddleston, secretary: Harry Richards, treasurer: and Jane Ackerman, representative to the Student Council. The junior assembly, The Ball and Chain Follies, was produced April 20 under the direction of Richard Lane and Theodore Siekmann, class adviser. One of the highlights of the year was the Coronation Junior Prom held on May 14 in the school gymnasium. Following the season's headlines, the decorations were patterned after the Coronation. Robert Dodd headed the prom committee, assisted by Norma Zittle and Benjamin Banta, co-chairmen. We have been able to show a measure of our abilities in school athletics and other extra- curricular activities. We hope that next year we may carry on the excellent work of this year's graduating class. declared Alfred Corti, junior class president. For the first time in the school's history, the sophomore class was given regular class officers following a vote of the student body last November upon the suggestion of the Student Council. Oflicers elected for the second-year group are: Ward Moore, president: Henry Farley, vice-president: Robert Spitzer, secretaryg Ted Wilcox, treasurer: and Richard Down, representative to the Student Council. With its aim to enable more incoming sophomores to enter into school activities, a sophomore mimeographed handbook is being compiled by a committee of sophomores and seniors. The handbook will include vital facts concerning the administration and extra-curricular activities in the senior high school. A detailed explanation of the student government is also to be inserted. The class put on a musical comedy in April entitled Hospital Hectics, produced by members of the sophomore class and George Barna, class adviser. A theater party was scheduled for May 13, and all profits from the party went toward a sophomore picnic held in June. First Row: H. Farley, T. Wilcox, R. Spitzer, W. Moore, R. Down, G. J. Barna.

Mr. Clarence R. Vosburgh, English and journalism teacher, completed his second year as adviser for the paper. At the beginning of the school term, a campaign which was suggested and sponsored by the Student Council offering six issues for twenty-five cents was conducted by the business staff. Continuing its policy of spot news, The Rostrum has again offered its readers the latest of school events. The former editor of The Rostrum, Horace Curtis, was awarded a scholarship to Syracuse University as the outstanding student journalist in New York State. Among the awards won by The Rostrum last year were the first division merit honor at the third annual high school press conference at Syracuse University, and a blue ribbon in the First class division at the Western New York Interscholastic Press Association.

ITH more acts of official business on its docket than any other previous council in the history of the school, the 1936-37 Student Council accomplished a record of twenty-four of the most important forms of business including five measures which have changed the entire program of school affairs. The five big accomplishments recorded by the council under the direction of Horace Curtis, president, are described briefiy in the following manner. At the beginning of the year the Student Council suggested a new plan of subscription for The Rostrum. Students were to receive six issues of the paper for twenty-five cents. Besides trying a new experiment in the election of the senior class president, the council suggested a new plan of voting for all classes which was passed unanimously by the student body in November. After investigating the possibility of sophomore class oliicers, the Council recommended to the student body that the second year class be given regular officers. The student body agreed and the plan was put into effect immediately. In order to aid the incoming council on the problem of raising funds, the Student Council passed a resolution that the faculty play for next year be sponsored by the council and all proceeds be given to the general fund for assemblies, to The Rostrum, and to the debate team. This will enable the debate team to have the necessary Financing along with help for proper assembly pro- grams and a school newspaper. The final piece of important legislation was the approving of the new rules which are to govem the selection of cheer leaders, as well as their number, requirements, and duties. This is the first time that a complete system has been designed since the first draft of rules by the 1932 Student Council. Besides printing necessary football and basketball-swimming schedules and other announcements pertaining to school events, the council assisted in the formation of the Boys' Letter Club and offered several suggestions to be carried out by that group. After the cheerleading squad was organized under the direction of Louis Rekoon, and the assembly committee appointed, season basketball tickets were offered to the student body. The Tonawanda pep rally, the most outstand- ing rally of the year, and the novel basketball assembly in the school gymnasium, were also planned and directed by the council. As part of the council's extensive program for recognition for the school, a radio program was held over station WKBW, Buffalo, for the purpose of introducing the two school coaches, Earl Ruckman, Charles Pohl, and also Mr. Roy Freeman, principal, and Mr. Carl Baisch, assistant principal. This was followed by two new features, the new pen offer and the sale of magic slates. Both were conducted by the Sub-Council. The proceeds from the sale of magic slates added several dollars to the assembly fund. The pen offer was made to students who wanted to trade in their wom out pens for reconditioned ones. After handling the election of the sophomore officers, a lost-and-found locker was put into full operation with all lost material being stored under the supervision of Mr. john Lung. Many valuable articles were recovered by their owners and more lost material was retumed to their owners than ever before, according to Mr. Lung. An auction conducted by the council appointee, Robert Armstrong, was held later in the year and all proceeds went to the assembly fund. As part of its dance program, student dances were held every other week except during the spring weather and basketball season. Dancing after games was directed by Charles Conn. Class assem- blies were also held upon the suggestion of the council and several school organizations put on pro- grams at the council's request. Following its aim to develop Kenmore spirit through its various organizations and interests and trying to mend the fiaws in student government, the council ended its activities by inducting the new president. The members of this year's council were: Horace Curtis, president: Clare Pop- alisky, senior class president: Norma Griffiths, senior class representative to the Student Council: Al Corti, president of the junior class: Jane Ackerman, junior class representative to the Student Council: Ward Moore, sophomore class president: Richard Down, sophomore class representative to the Student Council, Mr. William Braunton, senior class adviser, and Mr. Roy Freeman, principal. sr a 4.

Created one year ago as an experiment of student government in the home rooms, the Sub' Council, unit of the Student Council, has become an active organization in its purpose of carrying on student activities in Kenmore High School under the direction of Horace Curtis, Student Council president. The group first met in October and approved the new Student Council docket for the remainder of the semester. Charles Conn was appointed chairman of student dancing and Donald Burke was given the right to head the committee on song assemblies. Another group was designated to take charge of the season sport tickets while information desk clerks were also chosen. The Sub-Council supervised the sale of magic slates which were sold to raise money for the school assembly fund. A pen exchange offer was announced to the student body and many took ad- vantage of this opportunity. The group also came to the support of the Red Cross and aided in collecting SUB-COUNCIL Sept. to Jan. the necessary money, food, and clothing. COUNCIL Jan. to June Two of the biggest problems handled by the Sub-Council during the last semester were the reorganization of the present cheerleading rules and completion of the new sophomore handbook which is to be issued to the incoming students next year. The cheerleading rules, outlined by President Horace Curtis, were amended by the Sub- Council members. The final approved copy included the cheerleaders' length of time,attendance require- ment, eligibility, duties, work of head cheerleader, and method of selection. All cheerleaders shall be selected at the beginning of the fall semester by a committee composed of three students and two faculty members. The rules were then sent to the Student Council for ratification. The handbook which included school regulations and requirements was under the direction of Marion Pergande, chairman: Virginia Lane: and Ward Moore, president of the sophomore class. Robert Dodd and Warren Anderson replaced Charles Conn as dance chairmen. Harry Richards was appointed the Sub-Council's representative to the school assembly committee. First Row: P. Schlocrb, H.

By stressing poetry of foreign lands, the organization carried out its theme, Places and Poetry. Travel talks were presented at various meetings by Miss Mary Margaret Cook on Mexico and by Miss Elizabeth Lewis on Norway and Sweden. With Miss Esther Hepinstall as adviser, the following ofhcers presided: Betty Andersen, Regent: Aileen Noxsel, Vice-Regent, Virginia Lane, Scribe: Ruth Lyon, Keeper of the Exchequer. Keeping up the Christmas spirit, as well as for the purpose of increasing the Finances of the treasury, the Literary Club carried on a sale of holly during the holiday season. Consisting of fifty girls taking third and fourth year English, the club meets the third Tuesday of every month. As is the custom of the Literary Club, the girls presented the school library with a gift of a collection of poetry books. Patterned after the P. E. N. Club which has units all over the country, Alpha Phi Lambda is the only high school organization of its kind in Western New York. Its purpose, to kindle the flame of literature, is the basis for its program of activities. As part of the regular meetings, members criticize each other's writings to improve literary style. Admission is gained only by juniors and seniors who submit articles for approval by the club. If deemed worthy by the majority of the members, the person is invited to join. The major activity of the year is the publishing of The Flame, original mimeographed issue containing works of the members. This year a short story contest was conducted with an anthology of short stories as the prize. Among the features of the year's meetings was an address by Lance Zavitz of the Buffalo Evening News.

First Row: T. Bannigan, H. Curtis, G. Scrimshaw, W. Braunton, B. Doyle, J. Greene, R. Gordon, P. Schloerb. With the affirmative team winning three debates ard losing only one while the negative squad, meeting its opponents out of town, won one, lost two and tied one, the Kenmore High School debaters encountered live different high schools in verbal ccmbat this year under the coaching of Mr. William Braunton. This season was inaugurated with both teams holding decisive wins over the Le Roy High School on the question, Resolved: That the Government should own and operate the munitions in' dustry. The question then changed for the remaining four debates, Resolved: That the Government should own and operate the electric utility industry. The aflirmative team of Robert Gordon, Paul Schloerb, John Greene and Betty Doyle, alter- nate: won 2 to 1 victories over Jamestown, Avon, and Tonawanda. George Scrimshaw, Thomas Ban' nigan, and Horace Curtis, of the negative team held a decision over Avon and lost two closely contested debates to Homell and Tonawanda. Their most thrilling meet was at Hornell where they held the veteran team to a tie. This year's Honor Club, consisting of twenty-three boys and twenty-three girls, ties the 1932 class for record membership, according to the annual honorary scholarship society's roll recently an- nounced by Roy G. Freeman, principal of Kenmore High School. Restricting its membership to only those who have maintained an average of eighty-five per cent in final Regents examinations during their first three and one-half years of high school, the Honor Club is the only honorary group with the exception of the Thespians. However, contrary to last year's intelligence, the male sex has stolen a march, and has gained both the valedictorian and salutatorian honors this year. Valedictorian John Greene, winner of the Jun- ior Plaque of 1936 awarded to the junior having the highest average, is the honor student. He is closely followed by salutatorian Richard Durbin. Although the Honor Club has one of the largest memberships of any group in the school, it is entirely without regular officers or advisers. Mr. Freeman has charge of the computation of all averages. t Row: M. Prenevau, J. Byrn, B. Loncto, R. Garth, A. Lahrs, J. Greene, B. Andersen, R. Durbin, M. Pergande, R. Scott. G. Jones. ond Row: M.

This is one of the out- standing features of the club composed of students taking French from Mlle Gendreau. With its purpose to advance the members' knowledge of the French language, customs, country and people, the regular meetings also include social entertainment. Opening with a short business session, the meeting continues with discussions, old traditional French games, songs, plays, and crossword puzzles. Some slides on French life were shown at the March meeting through the courtesy of the Buffalo Museum of Science. The club also co-sponsored the showing of the French motion picture, Sans Famille with the Sans Souci club. The officers elected semi-annually for the first semester were: Norma Krause, president: Jean Gallup, vice-president: Frances Murphy, secretary: and Janet Brunton, treasurer. Robert Greene led the group for the last semester, aided by Allyn Kimball as vice-president, John Byrn, secretary: and LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Jean Gallup, treasurer. SANS SOUCI The Pigeon Post and Stamps in France during the Nineteenth Century was one of the nu- merous topics presented at the Sans Souci organization this year, given by Mr. Rollin Flower, Stamp Editor of the Buffalo Evening News. Other speakers during the year were: Miss Ann Conn who dis- cussed The Romance of Modem Languages in the University and Mr. Paul Speyser, French consul at Buffalo. The club, in collaboration with Le Cercle Francais, offered a talking movie, Sans Familie by Hector Malot, in the school auditorium on February twenty-fourth. A pageant, Fete de Jeanne d'Arc, was dramatized at the May meeting by the club members. A dance in the school cafeteria in June concluded the regular activities of Sans Souci for the year. The following officers were elected by the club at their first meeting in September: Charles Conn, President: Marguerite Geyer, Vice-Presidentg Sally Pope and Mary Alice Gilchrist, Secretaries: and Mary Ann Berg, program chairman. Mrs. Alise Cowles Van Wie is the adviser of the club. First Row: M. Morgan, B. Radenberg, M. Gilchrist, J. Craig, C. Conn, A. Van Wie, M. Geyer, S. Pope, H. Marsh J. Hawthorne, A. Lahrs.

Creating greater appreciation in the art field by the study of modern painting and sculpturing, the members of the Art Round Table succeeded in furthering the interests of art activities this year under the advisership of Miss Jeannette Underwood and Miss Mary Margaret Cook. Consisting only of girls in advanced art courses, members spent the month of November in craft work, preparing for the annual Christmas sale. Fifty dollars made from the sale refilled the treasury which was exhausted from the buying of materials for craft work and the purchase of several new books of water-color technique. These books were added to the art reference shelf. Those serving as officers the first semester were: Sarah Jane Pugsley, presidentg Patricia Farley vice-president: Betty Crawford, secretary: Mary Ann Berg, treasurer. Installation of new officers was held at the Town Club at the annual banquet in February placing Marcia Lang as presidentg Mary Hamilton, vice-president, Janet Smyth, secretary, and Lucille Thompson, treasurer. Miss Lena Spinner was guest of honor and entertained club members with movies of her travels. Kenmore High School again has school musicians destined for national fame. At the state contest at Elmira, New York on May 1, the trumpet trio of Leo Hattler, Edward Lowcock, and Leigh Merkle received awarded. a rating of Highly Superior and a percentage of ninety-live which was the highest Walter Hagen, violinist, again placed highest in the violin contest with a ninety-live per cent mark and rating of Highly Superior. Edward Lowcock, trumpet soloist, did not compete, being eligible in the national contest on last year's national rating. At the sectional contest at Fredonia, the A Band tied with Dunkirk High Shcool with a rat- ing of Excellent. Curtis Steffen, saxophonist and LaVerne johnson, baritonist, both received a rating of Ex- cellent. At this contest, the trumpet trio received a rating of Highly Superior enabling them to partici- pate in the state competition. Walter Hagen and Edward Lowcock did not compete but received Highly Superior from last year's contest, being eligible for both state and national contests this year. First Row: L. Merkle, E.

With the addition of two flutes, one bassoon, and one alto clarinet, the symphonic band of Kenmore High School has increased its total membership to eighty pieces during the past year, accord- ing to Carl W. Hann, head of the music department. The contest members returned victorious from the National Contest at Cleveland in June, 1936. The entire band then played at the laying of the comer stone of the new municipal building in Kenmore. In combination with the English department, the band continued its policy of presenting one opera a year by presenting several selections from the opera Carmen by Bizet at the February student assembly. For the past five years the band has steadily developed to its present high rating. During this time it has added to its numerous features, a music library containing some of the most difficult of music. To meet the increased demand for musical instrument instruction by students of Kenmore High School, two new band units were added to the now progressing music department under the super- vision of Carl W. Hann, The C band is the beginners' unit, where those who have no knowledge of a musical instru- ment are taught the rudiments of playing and instruments are thoroughly explained. When students have sufficiently progressed, they are promoted to the B band. The B band, also looked upon as the training unit, is composed of thirty-six members who have advanced from the C division. In this band, more difficult pieces are studied. In this process they are advanced to meet the demands of an A band member. First Row: A. Brendel, D. Riley, S. Repich, G. Fornoff, D. Loder, R. Dewey, P. Frye, B. Voss, C. Sabatino, E. Choppe, J.

ITH a new spirited style of football at Kenmore High School this past fall, the varsity squad staged a Upigskin parade that presented their opponents with stiff compe- tition throughout their entire eight game schedule. The season marked the initial appearance of Richard Dick Offenhamer of Colgate and Leroy Lefty Pitkin of Syracuse, as head coach and line coach respectively. With these new mentors at its helm, Kenmore inaugurated its season by defeating the Depew eleven by the score of 26 to 6. A strong, stalwart line of Niagara Falls was the determining factor in their effort to turn back the blue and white invader by the score of 31 to 7. Kenmore's lone score of the game came when Dick Davey, halfback, received a flat pass from Popalisky on the red and white's two yard line, and eluded a potential safety man for six points. For a full sixty minute period, the crowd surrounding the N ichol's field witnessed one of the most thrilling and hard fought games as the big green team managed to eke out a 7 to 0 victory over the local aggregation. With Kenmore firing away on the N ichol's goal line, the game ended. With the perennial cry of Beat Tonawanda ringing in their ears, the blue and white war- riors raised their threatening scalping aerial attack by attempting to defeat the lumber- men in their traditional encounter. Tonawanda executed three scoring plays giving them the game 18 to 0. Batavia rode into town with her hopes pinned on a strong line to break its losing streak at the expense of Kenmore, but the blue and white wave engulfed the visitors and submerged them under a crushing victory of 13 to 0. The blue and red lumbermen of North Tonawanda sharpened their axes and cut wide and fancy marks through the Kenmore team. Aided by sudden and decisive blows to the weak points of the local defence, the North Tonawanda team hung up its seventh straight victory of the season by defeating Kenmore 19 to 0. Taking time out on almost every other play to wipe the mud off the football, the two teams, Trott and Kenmore, played one of their hardest games. Early in the first quarter, Kenmore was caught behind its own line and lost the game 2 to 0. Those who awarded varsity letters are: Vincent Boles, captain, Clare Schnieder, captain- elect, James Barrett, Ted Bowling, William Buckleyg Richard Daveyg William Gossg Paul Grumshaw, William Harrison, Ronald Hassler, Ralph Haywood, William and David Hennigar, Richard Hofner, Clayton Kenworthy, John Kibby, Clayton McKay, Clare Pop- alisky, Alex Ross, Roy Weber, Paul Wisler, Marian Wiktorowski, Thomas Sweeney, and managers, Charles Conn and John Stone.

Although in many cases possessing strength in individual swimmers, the 1937 Kenmore team seemed to lack the necessary balanced scoring punch which took the 1936 squad through an .800 season and a second in the Western New York sectionals. This year's edition won three of its ten meets. Pros- pects for next year seem brighter if the current B team's record of eight wins and no defeats is to be taken into consideration. Losing the first two meets at Amherst and Tonawands, the locals then returned home and won two of the three encounters in their own pool. They lost the first with Niagara Falls 42 to 33 even though two records were shattered. Broad-shouldered Dick Kratzer traveled ten lengths of the pool in 2:14.2 to break the 200-yard freestyle record by nearly two and a half seconds, The Niagara medly relay team chalked up a mark of l:09.8. With Bob Livengood swimming the century freestyle event in 59.2, the Kenmore mermen won their first victory of the season by taking Amherst, 42 to 33. Lockport, a new rival, was the next victim by the score of 56 to 19. Kenmore garnered a first and second in four events and the diving to make the win decisive. Luck turned the other way when Kenmore traveled to the twenty-five yard pool of North Tonawanda. After trailing all the way, the Kenmore swimmers saw the loss become conclusive when Livengood disqualified the blue and white's 200-yard relay team by jumping his start. This served as a stimulus the next week for Livengood set a new pool record of 56.3 at Niagara Falls and then returned home for the Tonawanda meet and broke his own record with a 57.8 performance. Kenmore dropped both these meets along with the 34 to 41 by North Tonawanda. During this meet one of the rare happenings in swimming competition occurred. Although Dick Kusch jumped his start in the 160-yard relay, one of the North Tonawanda men did the same and with Kenmore's relay finishing first, both teams were disqualified. When Kenmore entered the sectionals on March 6, they accomplished little more than rein- stating Dick Kratzer as sectional champion for another year. However, he doubled the length of his swim and won the 200-yard free-style instead of the 100 which he captured last year. Bill Buckley, last year's sectional champion in the diving, was not up to form and placed only fourth in that event and third in the breaststroke. He and Kratzer were the only Kenmore men to qualify. The sectionals in North Tonawanda's pool found the local team hindered. In a 25 yard pool such as those of both Tonawandas, the Kenmore swimmer finds himself instinctively ready to make his tum five yards before he gets to the edge of the pool. Three Kenmore swimmers placed in the annual A.A.U. meet in the Buffalo Consistory pool in March. Bob Livengood broke the 100 yard freestyle event record with a 59.2 performance. Dick Krat- zer was beaten for the first time in his three years of competitive swimming by Hutchinson High School freestyle artist, Sam McKenzie, in the 220-yard race. Varsity letters went to: Richard Kratzer and William Buckley, co-captains: Donald Livengood, Harvey Maxfield, Charles Pastor, Harry Richards, Howard Round, LeMoine Wark, and George Cochern, manager.

As March 1936 rolled around and brought the beginning of the track season, Andy Schultz was forced to resign his coaching position because of illness. Into his shoes stepped young Wes Snyder who in 1927 and 1928 played football and basket- ball for Kenmore. The year Earl Ruckman captained the basketball squad, Wes led the second team. The next year he moved up to the position of varsity captain. Although he didn't see service on the track team, the physical education course which he took at Michigan State College fitted him for the coaching position. Kenmore took the opener, defeating Lockport and Batavia on Batavia's field by an impressive margin, Batavia finishing second. They then set off to an invitation meet at Lockport and emerged seventh of the thirteen teams entered from Western New York. East Aurora, who had a top-notch team this year, placed first with Dunkirk in second position. Probably the most thrilling meet of the season was the one with Nichols on the Colvin-and- Amherst field. Everything was hinged on the last relay. Nichols had taken seven events to Kenmore's four, but Kenmore's accumulated points kept her in the lead by a slight margin. By the time that last event was called, the meet could swing to one team or the other. Duncan set off and chalked up a short lead which Dixon and Hensel held, and by the time anchor-man Kibby hit the tape, Kenmore had taken the relay and won the meet-64 to 58. On May 29 the local Cinder path was the scene of the sectionals. Kenmore followed East Aurora to second place out of eight schools, Kenmore getting 27lQ points to East Aurora's 32521. Kenmore placed fourth of twenty schools in the zone meet on june 5 of all Westem New York teams. Bob Eldridge won the high jump: john Kibby took second in the 440- yard event, Duncan finished third in the 100-yard dash, and the relay team of Duncan, Dixon, Kibby and Cochern placed third. jack Hensel, Bob Wheelock, Paul Wisler and Alvin I-Ieinie' Schmohl entered but failed to place. East Aurora who wedged Kenmore out of first place in the sectionals won the zone meet with 20 points. Dunkirk followed with 1834, Hamburg with 11f54, and Kenmore with 991. In the sectional and zone meets the blue and white men were aided by the fact that they were on their own field. The Kenmore track has some of the best facilities in Western New York. Beginning with the 1937 season, there will be no more track sectionals. Emphasis will be placed instead on the zone meet and it will be unnecessary for individuals to qualify in order to enter. It is believed that the change should encourage smaller schools who have been so disheartened by the more experienced teams that they have not developed track at all. The quarter, half, and mile will be started in a chute to avoid congestion at the turn. Many of the 1936 squad returned for the 1937 season. Nick Dragech, james Duncan, Bob Wheelock, and Bob Eldridge were the only losses. john Kibby, George Cochern, Paul Wisler, jack Hensel, Chester Swierczynski, William Buckley, Leonard Spencer and others were all eligible to return. Varsity letters were awarded to the following nine men: john Kibby, captain: George Cochemg Nick Dragech: james Duncan: Robert Eldridge: john Hensel: Alvin Schmohlg Paul Wisler, Robert Wheelock, and Robert Weller, manager.

Williamson Although their record was not so impressive as the undefeated varsity of 1935, the tennis team under coach George Wessell closed the 1936 season with six victories and four defeats, a record that compares very favorably with those of the past four seasons. The team this year did produce two outstanding singles players for Western New York, Robert Griffin and Harry Lazalle. Griffin ended the playing season undefeated in competition. Victories were registered during the season over Tonawanda, Nichols, Batavia, and Canisius High School. The U. of B. frosh, Niagara Falls, and Canisius High School were the only teams to defeat Kenmore. In the sectionals at Kenmore, Harry Lazalle lost to George Rushton of Niagara Falls, while Richard Hofner and Harry Weed placed in the doubles by defeating the Eden team. At the zone meet, Hofner and Weed lost to Niagara Falls in an extended match. Letters were awarded to Harry Lazalle. Robert Griffin, Clifton Bainard, Richard Hofner, Harry Weed, Donald Colby, and manager Chester Thoman. Because the blue and white golfers had no opportunity to practise, the 1936 fall team showed a record of six defeats against no victories. Again the team was entered in the Suburban Scholastic League composed of class A schools in Westem New York. At the be several boys who s to retum. ginning of the season, coach Miller found no lettermen returning, but soon discovered howed possibilities. Hope is high for next year as four men of this year's squad expect Composing this year's team were: James Duncan, George Scrimshaw, Arthur Kamuth,Albert Chilcott, Samuel Easterbrook, and William Mahlman.

Jones Harriet Hallenbeck's team won the senior division championship in the girls' basketball com- petition this year, having captured the class championship in their junior and sophomore years also. The winners in the 1936-37 competition for the juniors and sophomores were Jeanne Thompson's and Joan Stall's teams. At the annual winter play-day at East Aurora eight schools from surrounding towns were represented, and Hallenbeck's team defeated Hamburg. Mary Kutzbach's six also came out victorious over Lancaster. At the Girls' Letter Club assembly, '37 numerals went to the champion teams in each of the three classes: Stall, sophomore champs: Thompson, junior champsg Hallenbeck, senior champs. White K's on blue backgrounds went to twenty-Five seniors, while letters were also awarded to sixteen juniors who were outstanding players in their class. Betty Smith, sports manager, was presented with a silver bracelet, while Miss Kauffman also received a gift. Sally Pope of the Inter-Sorority Council presented a cup to Harriet Hallenbeck, captain of the champion team. Not to be outdone by the boys' varied athletic program, Kenmore girls are offered participation in seven sports. After the autumn tennis competition Margaret Merrick was awarded a tennis K as champion in the senior division: and Frances Murphy, junior, and Helen Bone, sophomore, received tennis letters for first place in their class tournaments. For the third time Jeanne Thompson earned individual honors in the swimming meet. The spring schedule includes baseball, volleyball, lacrosse, and archery. Those awarded archery K's are: Betty Lind, high scorer, followed by Dorothy Lewis, Dorothy Pendergast, Beverly June, Trudy Elliott, and Aileen Noxsel. The following members of the Girls' Letter Club, who had received K's for participation in three different sports were presented special pins: June Honeywell, Peggy Geyer, Mary Swedish, Betty Smith, and Betty Lind.

A touchdown sure this time! On, Oh Kenmore! On, Oh Kenmore! Fight on for your fame, Fight, fellows! Fight! And we will win this game. Stand Up and Cheer Stand up and cheer, Stand up and cheer for dear old Kenmore: As the pigskin goes fiying down the Field on the opening kick-off or the basketball cuts the air after the tip-off, the Kenmore cheerleading squad leads its variety of cheers and yells for the blue and white supporters. This is only one of the duties that the members of the squad have to perform throughout the year. Cooperating with the Student Council last October, the cheerleaders presented one of the most novel period-long pep assemblies ever staged for the Tonawanda football game. Other assemblies and rallies were held during the football and basketball seasons, and the year was concluded with a pep assembly for the spring sport teams, tennis, track, and golf. At the end of the basketball season, the members of the cheerleading staff received the following awards: June Honeywell, a three-year service charm: Clifford MacBay, Sally Davies, june McIntosh, and Sally Pope, two-year service K's: Dorigen Ditsch, Henry Farley, Ruth Cushing, and Mary Hamilton, one year service K's. For today we raise the blue and white above Ffrst Row, S, Davigg, 5, pope, M, Hamilton, the rest. Second Row: C. MacBay, J. Honeywell, H. Farley. Our boys are fighting , Third Row: J. Mclntosh, D. Ditsch, R. Cushing. For they are bound to win the fray: We've got the team, We've got the steam, For this is dear old Kenmore's day.
