THE KENCOLL 1 94 3 13 ..llllimillinilllliiMIMUllMlltMIlMMUMMmiHllllllMIMIIMIMMIMMIMmiMIIIIIMMMIIMlinmilMIMIHIIIIIIMIIIIimil « 1 PREFECTS Mr. Fox (teacher in charge), May Lord, Art Lampkovtiz (head Prefects). Wc art all familiar with the blue and gold armbands worn by a few of our students. These people are our “Prefects’ . This year, as formerly, the staff of about 60 students was chosen by Mr. Gilbert from the upper forms. As their adviser, Mr. Fox has managed to keep every¬ thing running smoothly and efficiently. On the whole, the student body ha been extremely co-operative in their acceptance of the rules and regulations, set down by our “school police. The prefects have been most helpful in keeping our school as orderly a possible, and on several occasions have given special help in conducting the crowds at basketball games. May the Prefect Organization continue to function as successfully ill future years! SOCIAL Despite the many war restrictions, four dances have been held this year. The first was a “Get Acquainted T-Dance for which the Forum Card was the admission. On December 20, the annual Commencement Dance brought many Grads back for one more Kennedy Dance. The very original decorations looked like snow, giving the ballroom a wintry atmosphere. In January the Social Committee held a roundabout T-Dancc. Among those noted were Don Gallagcr es¬ corted by Miss Alex Newell, wearing a stunning blue gown with all the trimmings. Undoubtedly the most enjoyable dance ever held at Kennedy took place on April second when the girls “dragged ’em out to the K Hop. Many a weary dancer cringed at the least mention of “conga” the next day. Multi-colored decorations were used and Jack Hick art’s artistic flower arrangement s in the l»asket were especi¬ ally note-worthy. The Social Committee consists of Gladys Sutton, June Lewis. Dorothy McF.vvan, Peggy Fuller, Catharine Knapp, John Mills, Rod Ross, Hill West, Charles Murphy and Ted Back.

They tagged in large numbers for Chinese Relief, the Blind, Polish Relief, the Navy League, Russian Relief, the Optimists, the Kinsmen and the Kiwanians. A number of our boys and men teachers are blood donors. Many of our girls and boys have g iven their help to farmers in the county.
