Out of the Known We stand prepared on this threshold of life Gazing bravely into the unknown. We've passed all trivial things of youth. It's now time to stand alone. We've had pleasant hours with well-loved friends And teachers who have inspired. We'll always remember good times we've had And the knowledge we've acquired. First there was the Old School, we recall. It had ivy-covered walls, Steps well-worn by hurrying feet, And dim and echoing halls. Then the New School, huge and strange, With new mem'ries to be made, Exciting, adventurous things to do. We saw the short year fade. And now it's time to say farewe1I, But although we're feeling sad, We'll ever lift high our hearts and minds, In thanks for what we've had. MARY ELEANOR MCVAY Class Poet

.wma-n Senior Officers First How: Marshlow, president: Guess. secretary: Wheelock, treasurer: Patterson, vice president: Schloerb, council representative: Mr. Grefe, senior class adviser. Class History Glancing at today's local newspaper, we were astonished by this heading of a feature article, Way to Commemorate Matriculation of the Class of '41 Sought -and then this sub-title. Time Capsule Proposed. Continuing our reading we discovered that there was an urgent need since this was to be the first class to graduate from the recently constructed institution of learning, the Kenmore Senior High School. If that plan to sink a record of the achievements of the class of '41 into the earth was actually adopted, what would it contain? We entered our sophomore year fresh from junior high triumphs only to have the ephemeral bubble cruelly pricked by upper classmen who jarringly disregarded us. That complaint is registered by all sophomore classes though. Our chronicle would certainly contain more outstanding events. Well, let's see. In '39 our election of class officers was somewhat delayed, but the final election justified it entirely. It included such diligent individuals as Iames Hagerty, president: Francis Boutet, viceepresidentp Nina Beier, treasurer: Elizabeth Ioslin, secretary: and Dorothy Schloerb, student council representative. Mr. Frederick Grefe became our class adviser. With the profits received from our theater parties, we presented the Utica Iubilee Singers at our annual assembly. As a fitting conclusion to our year's activities, a class picnic was held at Ellicott Creek Park. Baseball and canoeing proved to be popular amusements there. tSome had the additional privilege of testing garments advertized as unshrinkablej We returned from the summer vacation with renewed vigor and a restored sense of importance. Again we experienced the thrill of resuming old friendships and the joy of winning new ones. Officers elected for the junior year included: Iames Hagerty, president: Francis Boutet, vice-president: Kathleen Guess, secretary: Nina Beier, treasurer: and Dorothy Schloerb, student council representative. Mr. Grefe became our adviser for the second time. The junior assembly under the management of Ieanne Busch proved to be a memorable success. Among the acts in the program was a feature ballet of cavorting muscular masculinity. Through the earlier sale of football novelties and the sponsorship of theater parties, admission to the last junior prom ever to be held in the old school was gratis. With Nina Beier as general chairman, a Hawaiian theme prevailed, heightened by the presentation of artificial leis to all the girls present and the dispensation of the drink of the Islands, pineapple
