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.

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.

KiNMHHi EVENING NEWS VOL. XVXXVII NO. VIII A PRICE 5c SETTZO ACQUITTED Sensational new facts in the Arthur Snaffledagq murder case, brought to light by r. Settzo's own testimony yesterday gave the famous engineer his freedom. Mr. Settzo's testimony leading up to his acquittal was as fol- lows: I was spending the week-end .at Art Snaffle-dag's estate along with my colleagues Clyde Rathman and Dick Reid. Since we were there to meet representatives Bob Osgood and Harold Olmstead of the O'Neill Plas- tic Cement Company to discuss our new contracts, our secretaries Jeanne Morrison, Phyllis Munzert, and Nancy Robinson were with us. It was when Art and I were alone in the garden that the shooting occurred. Art had pointed to a group of weeds that were even scrawnier than the rest and an- nounced in all seriousness : 'See that plant over there? That is a young tree.' Now, this I couldn't believe. How could a little weed like that ever become a tree? Obviously, someone must have been gaffing my friend. With this in mind I remarked, 'Art, it must be apparent to you thaththis whole thing is a hoaxl' 'Imposs1ble,' was his rep y, 'I haven't seen an acorn around here for yearsl' U lMr. Settzo paused dramatically then shouted.J ' That was when I killed him. Any- one who would intentionally or un- intentionally make a pun as bad as that deserved to die! . Instantly the court was in an upl- roar. Settzo's attorney, Bob Nort , sued for dismissal which was imme- diately granted. The attorney for the state, Lorraine Hayes, and three jury members, Betty esbcott, Betty George. and Charlotte Busch, rushed over to shake the engineers hand. Immediately afterwar the. crowd surged forward and two of their num- ber Bill Wolf and Joe Cain carried Settzo from the courtroom on their shoulders, while Judge Peaches Packer led the jury in three rousing cheers. ................-.T- REPRESENTATIVE SELECTED Secretary of State Joyce Holzman announced today through Under- secretary Jane Bodenbender that Bruce Butler and Marjorie Beardslee have again been selected to represent the United States in the annua meet- in of the World Peace League to be held in Vladivostok, Russia next week. Miss Beardslee, you will remember, is the woman who won the hearts of the Russian people when at the recent Washington-Moscow banquet . tappe- tizers in Washingtong dessert in Mos- cowj she arranged to have served to everybody the favorite beverage of Russia, the Molotov cocktail. They give everybody such a warm feeling towards one another, Congressman John Sharp explained. Chief Justice of the League, Don Cornell, will preside over this year's meeting as usual. STATE AND LOCAL C ELECTIONS The final election returns show that the people of New York State are still solidly behind Governor Ronald Turner and Lieutenant Governor Rob- ert Tice. A new District Attorney, Carl Jacobson, was elected mainly on the prestige gained by his smas ing of a protection racket that had vic- timized such prominent establish- ments as Dev1in's Department Store, Broderson's Dress Shop, Swanton's Art Studio, and Choto f's Beanery. also re-elected was Senator Muriel o . The highspot of our local Kenmore politics was the election of Alfred Miles as our new Mayor. Other suc- cessful office seekers were Sheriff Don Murray, Judge Dick Freeman, and U. S. Representatives Nancy Noel, Joan Theobald, and Doris Webster. IDENTITY STILL MYSTERY The police are still unable to iden- tify an elderly man of about sixty-five years who was picked up last week by Patrolman Jack Quigley. Police phy- sician William Fink has announced that the man has probably been an amnesia victim for well over ten years. The only clue to his identity is that when found he was babbling over and over in a strange tongue what sounded like: Mairzy doats en doezy doats en liddel am zeedivyf' The most probable solution has been advanced by Doctor of Languages Ann Joyce Holland who believes that the victim has been isolated in a monas- tery for many years and the strange phrase is an ancient Tibetan tribal chant. Professor Donald Argus, the coun- try's foremost authority of American History, has declared that this chant was once a popular song in the Eng- lish language, but despite Argus s great prestige this theory has, of course, been disregarded as prepos- terous. 4 SUCCESSFUL OPENING The opening stage reversion of the old Civil War novel, Gone With the Wind at the Hamilton 'Theater last night was an outstanding success. Superb performances were given by the entire cast, Gilbert Gudgel giving an especially brilliant performance as the wind. Gil states that he gained proficiency in this part in high school where he was affectionatey called Hot Air by his admiring teachers. Other performers that received splen- did- plaudits from the critics were Edith Doerr, Bob Evans, Mary Alice Godfrey, and Irwin Zelman who por- trayed respectively Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, Melaney, and Ashe Wilkes. An especially effective job was done by the writers Jean Acker- man and Marilyn Hatch in their transfer of the story from novel to drama form. All of these points add up to a good plaiv, which according to its producers Bo Merkle and Vernon Moore, should have a longer run than the'Desert Fox, Rommel. -------......4............... CON DRELL ELECTED Terminating one of the most dy- namic presidential ,elections of our history, the final election returns, today showed that William Condrell is.the peop1e's choice for the thirty- third President of the United States. Mr. Condrell has the distinction of being the only President in our his- tory who has een elected by a unani- mous vote. Moreover, this feat seems even more remarkable when one re- members that even before the voting he predicted that be would win everxy vote. Of course no one but Condrel himself knows thereason for his cer- tainty. Perhaps he felt some psychic messagz. Then too, it might have been cause he was supported by Janet Hood's widespread chain of newspapers., Then too, the fact that he was the only candidate running for the office might have helped to bolster his confidence. II-lis campaign man- agers, Bill Kunz and John Obenauer, so ably extolled his desirable qualities for the presidency that all other can- didates gave up their campaigns as lost causes and dropped from the race.l Naturally, these theories are mere speculation and may be far from Condrell's true reasons. I Another unusual aspect of this elec- tion is that President Franklin D. Roosevelt declined to run for his eighth consecutive term. When asked w y he .had refused to be nominated, the acting President until Januar? first sighed wearily and murmure , Sorneliow I felt that I was getting in a ru . GOLD KEY RECIPIENT NAMED The Kenmore Junior Chamber of Commerce committee consisting of Dorothy Reilein, Jeanne Von'Daacke, Edith edder, Kay Moran, and Shir- ley Lumley have formally announced that Martin Feinen will receive the gold key which is awarded annually to the person who has done the most for Kenmore. The award will be presented at the Municipal building next Tuesday night. Of special interest is the news that Jean Seelbach, Dean of the Uni- versity of Rochester, will be a guest speaker at the banquet.
