Student Council Carolyn Hall, Diane Dagg, Dick Walters, Marjorie Beardslee, Secretary, Robert Chotoff, William Condrell, Presidentg Mr. Roy G. Freeman, Principal: Gerry Dirk Douglas Hoffman, Phyllis Nonemacher, ,lamcs Michaelson. .laines Kilburn. ln order that a victorious peace be established in the world of tomorrow, it is necessary that the citizens of the future, the students of today, should understand the mechanics of government. The Student Council should play an important role not only in school life, but in the prepara- tion for useful service to community and country. A number of outstanding achievements have been credited to this yearas Student Council which functioned under the outstanding leader- ship of President William Condrell. During the course of thc year, two amendments to the con- stitution were adopted by the student body. One pertaining directly to the Council proposed that it consist of all four officers, rather than merely the president and vice-president of each class. The second amendment was proposed in order to remedy a weakness in the system of choosing cheerleaders, and provided that after September, l945. there would be nine cheerleaders-three from each class. ln the Fall of 1943, two large football dances were sponsored by the Student Council and held in the high school gym at which the cheerleaders led pep rallies. Several dances were held for the benefit of the Red Cross, and l0 at Christmas time the Student Council sponsored a dance at which Mr. Marvin R. Bush. as Santa Claus, was our guest. A jitterbug contest was held, with Santa as judge. Prizes were given to the winners, and candy was presented to every- one who attended. Also at Christmas time the Student Body pre- sented the Junior Chamber of Commerce with enough ornaments and tinsel to trim six large Christmas trees for the benefit of the soldiers stationed in nearby barracks. A number of firsts were established by this council. As examples, the minutes of each meeting were placed on the bulletin board for the inspection of the students: a new Alina Mater was chosen and words written for it: a definite time was set for Council meetingsg and the faculty cafeteria was turned into a snack bar for school dances. One of the most outstanding records of this year's Student Council has been the success of the War Bond drive and Red Cross campaign. At the time of printing 3227.000 of the 3250.- 000 worth of Bonds and Stamps set as a goal, had been sold.

Senior Ofi vers Class H istmfy Looking at thc busy little community of Ken- inorc. wc find a large. impressive building at the northcrn cnd of tht- village. Carxed above its statcly portals are thc words: Kenmore Senior lligh School world renown builders of high school graduates. Spring of I9-ll finds them completing this ycar's production which prom- iscs lo bc one of the most outstanding classes cvcr lo graduatc. What lnakcs this class different? All that is known dalcs back to thc Fall of I9-lvl when local astronomers rcporlcd that the stars had begun to arrange thcnisclvcs. forming the letters-- Ke-nmorc ills. Thus. from the very begin- ning. its lalc scenlcd lo bc decided. This class was dcstincd to go places. And so it didl l irsl of all. as Sophomores. the class began its successful carccr with the election of officers: llob lVlarkham. prcsidcntg Kay Hush, vice presi- dcnt: lluth Ilion. treasurer. and Priscilla Cook. sccrctary. Then. in order to make themselves financially indcpcndcnt. thc Sophomore Show and Sl. l'alrick's Day Dance followed. With the proceeds from thcsc vcnlurcs. thc class was able lo hold a memorable Soph Hop with Nancy Rob- inson as thc beautiful princess and Peter Vogt as the statcly princc. pl ltcr a sunnncr sicsla. the class began the in- lcrrncdiatc portion ol its education. However. something ncw had bccn added. The nalnc 'flnniorsii had now been affixed to this faststcp- ping group of students. Using the experience that lhcy had obtained from their prexious year at K. ll. S.. lhcsc Juniors soarcd to new heights undcr thc ablc lcadcrship of President Peter Vogt. Vicc l'rcsidcnt Kay Bush. Secretary joan lyowcr. and 'lircasurcr ,lim lVloorc. officers lor thc second ycar. Social activities wcre not lacking this year, I2 Robert Chotolf, President llcrry Dick, Secretary Yicc President Archie Christie, Treasurer lor. in addition to the weekly Thursday evening dances, the class staged an entertaining junior Show and sponsored the Lincoln Day Dance. Money in thc treasury was supplemented by a share of the profits from The Governor's Daughter. an operetta presented by the students of K. H. The ,lunior Prom brought the yearis activities to a climax with lovely Jean Seelbach as Queen. and Bob Markham as King, reigning midst the laughter and gayety of a street scene. All too soon came the third and final year at Kenmore. With these years becoming fond memories. the seniors decided to make these last few months ring with crowning achievements. Class oflicers for the Senior year were Bob Cho- toff. presidentg Marge Heardslee. vice president: Archie Christie. treasurer. and Gerry Dick. secre- tary. Keeping pace with their resolutions, the sen- iors smashed all previous records by netting 2ili28l.U0 from the Senior Carnival. Queen of the gay festivity was none other than ,lean Seelhach. former Junior Prom Queen. It was on this fate- ful occasion that Irwin t F'rank Sinatraut Zel- man made his first public appearance. Spring of '44 heralded the appearance of the Senior Play, Junior Miss which, under the guiding hand of Miss Strong. was enthusiastically re- ceived by all who attended. With the Senior Hall. social activities came to a triumphant close. Thus. the passing of the class of ,44 brings to a close another chapter in the history of Ken- more Senior High. It is a unique chapter marked by wartime restrictions and by the absence of students who have left for the armed forces. However, to us. leaving brings us both joy and sorrow. joy for the future that is before us and sorrow for the happy days left behind. Clyde Rathmann. Marjorie Beardslee.
