I1 UOI'I . KAUFFMAN. Very sincerely, ROSE M A Message from you'r ??incipal $0 the Glass of 1926 HE other day I heard a story that impressed me greatly. A Jape anese gentleman was showing an American friend his garden. As you know, the Japanese are very successful in making gardens in miniature and this was that kind. To the American, trees, shrubbery, hedges so small, seemed not especially attractive, and he was only perfunctorily polite. Finally, he was invited to a low seat and from this things assumed a different proportion and the plan was before his eyes. At the proper moment his host directed his gaze to a point where two tall trees seemed to hold the garden as an entrance. Rais' ing his eyes, he saw not the two trees, but Fujiyamaethe sacred mountain of Japane-lifting its royal head dominating the landscape. ilAhfl he breathed, llyou have annexed the mountainfl That is what I want you girls to do-annexu.the mountain. Much of the time you will dwell perforce at the foot,ibut keep your spiritual eyes on the top. Life and sunshine are there and even though sometime the storm clouds lower, it is not for long. Long, long ago the sweet singer of Israel sang, llI will lift mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh strength? Strength still comes from the hills if only one remembers and tries to dwell there. The breezes of heaven blowing through the wide spaces will cleanse body and spirit and inspire to better thoughts and deeds. Annex the mountain. BEULAH A.

Low from the shell comes a silvery murmur of sound, Swelling to echo the song of the stormy sea, Throbbing the angry raging of the deep, The wail of the wind, the rush of the towe'ntls leap, The peaceful calm 0f whitecap corestecl have A living song, breath of the oeeanls lay- It lives! The sea is the sea of life, the shell Is the lyre 0f the human soul That life casts up on the sands of time As the years of eternity Toll. And the life may rage igainst the storms of fate, Or hope fat the calm that comes With the break of mom, when the winds are still .And the green waves cease to foam. But happy or sad, in storm or repose, When the life has ceased to be, And the breath of life has flown away Like the winds from th, eternal sea; The soul that Tests on the sands of time . Will echo the song of lifee The soft, low crooning of childhood days, Songs of happiness and strife, And th, exultant hymn of victory When, thestorms of life all past, The sea vecedes, and the life is gone, And the soul is free at last. F07 the soul will live through eternity, While lifels but a transient dream, Whose song the soul will echoe A living, melodious hymn! Message to the Glass from their ?resident, Hedwig Grepkus EAR Schoolmates, we are about to leave the school which through four years has strengthened our characters and prepared us to fight lifels battle. We, like the young trees, are growing and building up so that we may withstand the strong winds and storms of life. Let us never V stop, but continue building up our characters so that after each storm we shall be as sturdy as ever. Let us be frank with ourselves and uproot the parasites which prevent our growth. Let us grow up to be fine, honorable women so that when duty calls we shall not Shirl; but answer its call willingly. We shall soon part. Some of us will continue with our education and others will start out into the business world. But whatever we are about to undertake, let us give it our best. No matter how insignificant the part that we play in this world may seem to us, let us play it well. It will be a great consolation to each of us to be .able to say, when our day of departure arrives, llThis world has gained something for my having been here?

'2 MW VOLLEY BALL TEAM J X w 5914471: --.- Unt'roductionj This, classmates, is June, 1926! Two vastly important events occupy our schoolgirl minds, viz., the Great SesquiICentennial and, none the less great tto usi, our high school graduation. We prepare to the leave the safe harbor of dear old K. H. S. for the unknown waters of a new life, in fear and trembling. But pauseea prophecy has been introduced to quell our fears and quiet our trembling! Under its magic we can gaze ahead fifty years and, at the opening of the BirCentennial, 1976, see ourselves in the sphere of life suited to each individual genius. With rejoicing, then, read on! It is June, 1976! The streets are thronged with people, crowds clustering around City Hall awaiting the arrival of the Mayor and a parade as the iirst event of the BiICentennial. The peddlers are doing a roaring business, especially one who has a stand on the wing of Dorothy FrederickTs aeroplane lettered TiEvelyn Shelly, Peanuts, Popcorn and Hot Dogs? Her assistants, Margaret Le Compt, Elinor Portser, Margaret Lawson and Jane Heilig, are attracting much attention because of their Tideep bassi, roars of iiGit yer peanuts here served hot an, tasty. Inez Gleeson, in her iimillionaire husbands, limousine, is purchasing a hot dog from the stand. Boys are racing about selling the iiDialstaf'ff, an excellent magazine newspaper. Its editors, Flora Sprecher, Clara Goldenberg and Marion Scott, through their untiring efforts, gained the mayorship for Ruth Dauterich. Now the huge band before City Hall is tuning up its instruments in preparation for the welcoming of Mayor Dauterich. This band has quite a few renowned members e-its leader, Hedwig Trepkus; the pianists, Betty Miller and Mary Willig; the violinist, Jennie Hoffman, and the mandolinist, Katherine Eakin. In the time remaining, the crowds have grown silent gazing up at the brilliant display of electric lights on City Hall. The building, designed by Dorothy Roberts, the eminent painter, designer and sculptor, with the assistance of other artists, among them Grace Walther and Anna Gorchov, is the most beautiful in the city. Suddenly, with a blare of trumpets and a rumble of drums, the parade turns up Broad Street. Leading is Mayor Dauterich, surrounded by her honored bodyguard and 56 i Class of June, 1926 friends, Isabel Ginsburg, noted writer of history textbooks; Clara Bay and Marion Hoch, amateur actresses of no small fame, and Mathilda Roedel, a' famed connoisseur of foods. . Directly behind the Mayor are her secretaries, Grace Felix. andElizabeth Fasy, ready tostake any notes necessary. Their motto for attaining any high position in business is, iimaster the details firstfi a I a , Following are the silveretongued o'rators of Philadelphia, Winifred Hoey, Lillian Antrobus, Alice Smith, Betty Bainbridge, Dorothy Rau,'Ruth Raymond, and Bertha Greenblatt, carrying a decorated soap box. The parade pauses, and the Mayor comes forward. After a sho-rtsimpressive speech welcoming the various nations to the city, the orators each make a ulong, impres, siveii speech saying the Same thing. The public then retired to the courtyard, where the program was to be given. Here Thelma Kauffman, Margaret Sivel, Margaret McKrell and Evelyn Shapiro sang for the people as their contribution to their home town. They were residing in Paris- N. J.! The public went into raptures and the newly installed policezwomen, Hazel Tunnicliff, Bessie Metvidoif, Jeanette Graham, Emily 'Hoehm, Frances Richman, and Matilda Hoehm, had great difhculty in keeping them under control. The different representatives of all nations were then introduced. Cecelia Lubeck welcomed the French Ambassador in his native language, and Rose Choderker spoke to the Italian Ambassador in Latin. Both women are accomplished linguists. Then the poet laureate, Dorothy Heller, read her latest poem of the BieCentennial. It was lilled with patriotic patriotism. Next Betty MacIntosh recited an original little rhyme on ikTaikethe Joy of Life? She is well informed on the subject. A short intermission followed while the school children, filed in and prepared to sing. Edith MacNair took advantage of the time to take up a collectionetpurpose unknowny She was forced to collect dues in her youth and enjoyed it so much it has become her life work. ' The Senators, up front, became restless and the one from IndianaeSenator Anna McCorkelerose and took out some knitting from her handbag, while Senator Ruth Heinzer asked a boy where she could purchase a lemonrpop. ' In a few minutes, however, the program was continued, and the high school girls contributed a very entertaining part, being coached by the following teachers: Ethel Boone, Marie Bryjak, Myrtle Cills, Mary Bumm, Anna Roth, Myrtle Lecky and Elizabeth Woerner. A few tiny tots from kindergarten, directed by their teacher, Elsie Rauch, sang a song. ' Next Mary Renner, a speaker, arose and gave a short talk on TiProper Discipline for Disobedient Children? She has had quite a varied experience in the matter. Afterward a short pageant was given, representing the different peoples of the world. Marion Schaubel and Elsie Rogers designed the costumes, with Ruth Miller, Imogene Huiiington, Margarite Becker, Anna Carroll and Mildred Haines as models and mannequins. The next feature was a rather novel one, the Two Inseparables, Louise Weiss and Florence Shalata, talking jointly on their modern American home and its many comforts. The eighth wonder of the world was announced, and-Tillie Dankowitz rose. Her forte is mathematics-capital M! In two and oneehalf seconds she determined the total increase of immigration since 1926. After this the Mayor made another speech, and the crowds were dismissed and told to visit other places of interest. , 57 Kensington High School Record On Market Street, at Fifteenth, there is a large building given over to wonders of the present age. Here a sign said, ilRemove 10 pounds in 10 seconds.n Katherine Noske acted as chief director with Myrtle Leese as Victim. Further on were the athletic miracles of the present day. Here were seen Jennie Brewning, Dot Ayres, Hazel McClintock, Ida Drapkin, Mabel Armstrong, Mary Heyburn and Mildred Johnson. On the next floor are a variety of canned goods, canned by girls who can can: Elizabeth McClain, Esther Weber and Elizabeth McCannon are competitors for first prize. The remaining floor is given over to a sample office, where Isabel Cunningham, Josephine Karlewski and Helen Schnieder are head bookkeepers. Efficiency experts, among whom are Helen Marvin, Helen Smalarkiewitz, Florence Levens and Edith Steinburg, are explaining. the new saving systems to a group of inter ested listeners. - Stenographers tthe best in the cityl have been borrowed from their places of business to demonstrate for the public. Here are found Elizabeth Bingham, Elsie Stromberg, Emma Grissim, Marie Wong, Edna Jennings, Sylvia Appler, Mae Murphy, Frances Bender, Emma Cunningham, Isabel Burns and Margaret Nickel. Each gave a demonstration of her skill on a different office machine. One rather stout lady, who before her marriage was Naomi Mountney, seemed a bit puzzled and kept asking queSe tions of the oHice force. With her was Wilhelmina Casebeer, who liwanted to be shownll everything. The crowds filtered out into the streets again, where standing on the curb was. Faith Niclrelson, selling balloons. Across the street is the school that gained such a famous reputation and created the upheaval in teaching a few years ago. It adopted a wholly new and modern system called the Wolcol'f System, after its originator, Irene Wolcoif. Under this method several new departments of instruction have been installed, as, for instance, the Modern Dancing Department, under the direction of Dorothy Kaferle and Sara Strause, with the able assistance of Alberta Laugginger, Marie Kordae witz, Gertrude Padolsky and Ruth Graham. It is needless to say that the school has a goOd attendance! It has, also, a small hospital, the head doctors being Constance Orrill and Maude Hawthorne. Some of the faculty who have made this school the huge success of the day are: Kathryn Zanes and Frances Blumstein, teachers of chemistry; Augusta Steinburg, French tutor; Elsie Keenen and Pauline Klenk, Latin instructors; Elsie Thomas, gym teacher, with the approval and backing of Anna Bachman, Isabel Cramp, Dorothy Copeland, Esther Eggert, Gladys Eisenhart, Ethel Buchanan and Anna B-achnan. Rose Weinberg, a social worker, has also given a few valuable suggestions for improving the new system. This is all that the author of this prophecy sees in the crystal of fate, but she wishes to add that where anyone has attained fame it has been by following the road where the only guiderpost to true success is iiHonor, Service, Efficiency ! mesgmxxMwwmmwAv ' 35 WNW NW WW mev w , Wm .L wAv amv w; '3 g - $ WM A$V,MV.....WA.W MMMW .w v NMNN: $ Mmmwgwanw IA M4,, .wl.w,.

We hold these truths to be selfrevident, that the class of June, 1926, is unequaled in intellie gence, unrivaled in looks and incomparable in initiative, judgment and pep. In fact, from every point of view, this class is the best that has ever graduated from the Kensington High School. It is our purpose, therefore, to enlighten posterity and to elucidate our almost miraculous accome plishments by setting forth a few facts concerning the famous class of June, 1926. CHAPTER ONEeTHE FRESHMAN YEAR On September 9, 1922, at one oiclock in the afternoon, the auditorium of the Kensington High School was replenished by a fresh supply of students from nearby grammar schools. The technical term for these girls is freshmen. This fact was selfrevident upon close examination of the gathering, for certainly each girl was immaculately clean and freshly dressed. It seemed to be a gala occasion. Many girls carried notebooks and pencil cases. i As the principal of the school, Miss Fenimore, mounted the platform, a silence pervaded the vast assembly. The task of placing .the students'in their advisory sections began. There was an atmosphere of suppressed excitement as each'girl eagerly listened for her own name. i Hel, HeZ, He3,e HI4+the process continued until every girl was assigned to her section. . . ' tThis class, by the way, was the last to be called NH in the Kensington High SchooU Although it must be confessed that a few girls labored under the illusion that the elevators were for the girls? use; that Room 318 was on the fourth floor; that a real iihorsei, was kept in the gym, a few weeks, observation made it evident that this class was endowed with the gift of adaptation-and the process of assimilation, which so often becomes a most diiTICUIt problem for both the newcomers and the established order, was very brief and not at all painful. ' The Freshmenis Reception absolutely sealed the confirmation of the new girls as loyal Kensingtonians. The Freshmenis Reception is a delightful custom in which the entire school participates in Welcoming the Freshmen. This reception was espee cialiy unique, being appropriately held in October, thus affording a chance for masking. The affair was a huge success. The Students Association, an organization which captures the interest and activity of the girls in the Kensington High School, opened up more phases of high school to the STI Class by offering them a chance to govern themselves, to elect representar tives and senators, to share in the responsibility of school management. Each section, realizing with an almost uncanny intuition the importance and significance of this ofhce of representative, elected its most capable and resoons'ble girls. In choosing Miss Clara Bay as its senator in the NH term and Miss Hedwig Trepkus in 9,13, the class was no less perspicacious. The beautiful and impressive Installation Service of the officers of the Students Association did much in developing within the class the consciousness of a responsibility both to their better selves and to the aims and purposes of the school organization. 80 Class of June, 1926 High School always means an interest in athletics and sports. Certainly the Kensington High School is not immune from this. The new girls were utterly delighted with the gym period. Volley ball, the Chief sport in the fall term, was carefully watched by all. Then basketballeand baseball. The climax of the athletic year came in the track meet, held at the Northeast Athletic Field. Not only were the 9B girls among the enthusiastic, cheering crowd in large number, waving their black and gold banners and yelling encouragement to the participants in the meet, but they were repre sented in the teams themselves. If one were skimming over this eventful first year, hitting only the highest points, perhaps the highest point would be-STUNT NIGHT. Suggested by the very wonderr ful President of the Students, Association, Miss Mary Mangigian, acted upon by both Houses, approved by Miss Fenimore, it was instituted as one of the most delightful occasions in the school year. The Freshman Class had the honor of being the first to present a Freshman stunt. The stunt was an original one, sponsored by Miss Weeks. Although the judges decided that the Senior Class deserved the cup, the Freshman Song, I'AinIt We Got Fun? was declared the best. In the Kensingto-n High School students are afforded an opportunity to develop their abilities, whether literary or otherwise, by interesting them in the work of publishing the DISTAFF, the school magazine. Miss Marion Hoch, of 9,31, very capably edited the FreshmanIs Own. Miss Dorothy Roberts, also of 9,3,1, gave her services as assistant art editor. Wherever a group of people are found together, some few of their number are bound to stand out as leaders. Even during this first year, the Class of June, 1926, followed the leadership of very capable girls. A11 honor to the senators who so excellently led their class during the Freshman yeareMiss Clara Bay and Miss Hedwig Trepkus. In the person of Miss Jennie Breuning, Kensington received one of her best athletes. The class, even then, had ample cause to be proud of Miss Dorothy Roberts, who, in her 913 term, received an art prize. CONCLUSION: The writer of this history wishes to emphasize what the reader must already realize, namely, that this Class of June, 1926, has characterized its Freshman Year by that most desirable quality, ADAPTABILITY. To Freshmen who are striving to maintain the ideals which this Class has set forth, these few words should be suHicient, TIWhen in Rome, do as the Romans dof, tBut be sure that the Romans are righto CHAPTER TwoaTHE SOPHOMORE YEAR Just to be called iTSophomoreII means much to a girl. It means that no longer must she bear the stigma of IIFreshiefI no longer must she wear the hateful green, no longer receive the condescending looks of arrogant higher classmen; but with head held up, she may now pass confidently along the hall, knowing that now she merits the respect of the other girls, that now club membership is open to her, that now she is an estab lished Kensingtonian. On September 10, 1923, the class, almost intact, and reinforced by students from the Junior High School, entered upon its second, the Sophomore Year. Thoroughly at home, the class confrdently took the reins of school government in its hands. In lOeA, Miss Trepkus was again elected senator. Quick to perceive the ability of a girl, the class chose Miss Martha Stover, a product of the Stetson Junior High School, as its senator in the 1013 term. The Lunch Room, and keeping it clean, is always a problem at Kensington High 81 Wwdmmsmnos 3mm? moroow Womenm S R E E F F O N w T Mn. C O S m 95 T N E D U T S K 3. Class of June, 1926 School, but the way in which the NB girls handled it was really remarkable. With skillful monitors, frequent campaigns, lunch room parades; with jingling bells and cries of IlTake your dishes back, the girls not only succeeded in keeping a clean Lunch Room, but also inspired within the rest of the girls a desire for cleanliness and a sense of individual responsibility in this problem. No wonder this Work was declared the most commendable student service of that term. An outstanding feature of the Sophomore Year was the new system of clubs. The last period of each Wednesday was given over to clubs. A variety of clubs, from liRadioll to llEntomological, invited membership. The Sophomores took advantage of this opportunity, and Wednesday; afternoon found the girls enjoying themselves in a diversity of ways. Many of them held offices in the clubs. Miss Dorothy Heller was viceepresident ofithe Junior Debating Club; Miss ClaraiBay, secretary of the Hiking Club; Miss Anna Beck, secretary of the Mathematics Club. A neverrtOeberforgotten event in the history of the Kensington High School came when the presentation of the Dramatic Clubls annual play llMonsieur Beaucaire'l thrilled not only the girls in the Sophomore Class, but every one who saw it. Needless to say, that with the new desire to join the Dramatic Club, which was now open to the 1013 girls, came also a rerattack of the iicrushesll after this performance. Christmas at Kensington is a very delightful festivity, and Christmas, December, 1923, was especially joyous. In the morning, the little tots from the neighboring kindergartens were entertained. In theaafternoon the girls were delighted by a very picturesque play; TIThe Six That Passed'While the Lentils Boiled? After the assembly the baskets for the poor were packed. ' The DISTAFF, as absorbing and fine as ever, held an added interest for the Sophomores, for they were well represented on the staff. In lOIA Miss Dorothy Heller was the Joke Editor, and Miss Dorothy Roberts, Assistant Art Editor. In lOrB Miss Heller was Editor of ilThesSong' of a Road? and Miss Roberts again Assistant Art Editor. Interest in athletics was even keener in the second yearthan in the first year. Volley ball claimed attention in lOeA, but basketball in the late winter months of 1924 was an activity not to be easily forgotten. The Sophomores watched with eager suspense the games which proVed Victories for Kensington, until that memorable game with Frankford, when the sCOre'was 25z24efavor Frankford. The baseball team won the championship during the spring of 1924. Again Stunt Night was a big occasiOn in the school year. The class chose Dr. Fellger as its sponsor. The stunt was a burlesque on llMonsieur Beaucairef and, though it did not receive the cup, its humorous qualities are not to be overlooked. Perhaps the luckiest thing that ever happened to the Class of June, 1926, took place in its Sophomore Year. Miss Kauffman, a wellibeloved member of the faculty, was made sponsor of the class. CONCLUSION: Upon close study of this important second year, it can be easily discerned that the quality that characterized the Freshman Year was super! seded by another, just as desirable, just as necessary to a successful school life as the firsteCO'OPERATION. Cooperation, the willingness to work along with the ilcrowdf the doing of the unpleasant task as spontaneously as the pleasant one, the pulling together, each with each and all with all. I am sure that if the Class of June, 1926, were able to speak advisedly to Sophomores, its message would be something like this: iiCo'operate with the Students3 Association, with the Faculty, with other classes in all things which have for their aim the furthering of the ideals and purposes 31 Kensington High School Record for which the Kensington High School stands? CHAPTER T HREEsTHE JUNIOR YEAR Though High School is distinctly divided into four classes, there seems to be another division which places the first two years as llLower Classmenll and the last two l Upper Classmenfl Therefore, September, 1924, brought the class not only to the edifying position of dignified Juniors, but also to the ranks of the llUpper Classmenfl Hitherto we have spoken principally of the activities of this famous class. How, ever, one cannot but notice certain things not quite so discernible, but nevertheless present. Friendships had been formed. Not mere acquaintances, but genuine frienda ships, which, if the writer surmises correctly, will last even after the high school career is over. Then, a quality which could especially be observed in the Junior Year, a spirit of good fellowship among all of the girls, whether Commercial or Academic. Class prejudice, a thing which so often disrupts a high school class, was almost entirely missing from all relations. In lleA election time was unusually thrilling. It took the class eons to choose a candidate for senator. Probably it realized the responsibility of the position. The result of the elections was indeed worth the delay, however. Miss Ruth Dauterich and Miss Jennie Breuning were chosen as the Junior senators. The only athletic activity during the fall of 1924 was volley ball. The Junior girls backed this team admirably. Again the class felt proud of Miss Dorothy Roberts, who was elected vice, president of the School Art League. She also received honorable mention at the School Art Exhibition. The DISTAFF was especially fine this term. This may be explained by the fact that the Junior girls were represented in large number on the staff. Miss Dorothy Heller was Editor of Club Notes; Miss Flora Sprecher, Jokes; Miss Roberts Was Chief Art Editor, with Miss Grace Wather one of her assistants. With such a generous contribution from the Junior group, one can readily perceive why the magazine was 'so commendable. In lleB- the senators were the Misses Elsie Rauch and Ruth Dauterich. These two girls supervised the splendid work carried on by the class during that term, that of caring for the attendance. The Junior Class won again iirst place in Student Service .for its class work. The award was a party to be given during the next term. In basket ball, Kensington almost wrested the championship from th: Frankford High School. It was a thrilling season, and enthusiasm ran high. Once more the Kensington team carried off the honors in baseball. This cham' pionship seems to be their undisputed possession. A tennis club, organized during this spring, afforded an cpportunity to learn tenn's. Many girls took advantage of this, and the result was the production of several local llHelen Wills? The annual track meet was the usual gala occasion. The pink of the Junior Class mingled festively with the black and gold school colors from the place reserved for the Kensington High School. The result of the meet f111ed every loyal Kensing' tonian with pride. Kensington High School won third place. Compared with former years, when the name of K. H. S. appeared very close to the bottom of the list, this was truly an achievement. Kensington owed much of her success to the work of several Junior girls, and especially to the splendid work of Miss Jennie Breuning and Miss Dorothy Ayres. S4 Class of June, 1926 The class was determined to- win the cup for the best stunt. They very wisely chose Miss LaiIerty as sponsor, and started early to produce the stunt. The topic of the day just then was the Iieclipsef, and this was chosen as the subject for the stunt. On Stunt Night the Juniors were confident that the victory was already won. Certainly the stunt was excellent; it had originality; it had beauty; it had humor. The verdict, however, awarded the cup to the Senior Class by the margin of one point. ' Miss Kauifman endeared herself to many girls during the Junior Year by her advice, her encouragement, her helping, hand. V In 11IB came the first hint at Commencement; the class started to pay du:s. The amount agreed upon was fifteen cents per week, and Miss Edith MacNair wa; elected Class Treasurer. One day during the spring term Room 104 was crowded with eager Juniors. After a long delay, the school rings had finally arrived. CONCLUSION MERIT-eSurely it is clear that this quality pervaded in the JunioriYear of the Class of 1926. Not satisfied with just doing the work, the girls put into the doing of it their best, and the resuIt-the result you already know. iiGirls, do not be satisfied with being mediocre. If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing wellfi THE SENIOR YEAR It was with a thrill of elation and pride that in September, 1925, the Class of 1926 returned from vacation to enter upon its fourth, the Senior Year. ' At its first Class meeting, Miss Hedwig Trepkus was elected president of the Class, Miss Edith MacNair rezelected as treasurer, and Miss Ruth Raymond elected as secretary. i ' ' In the 12A term, Miss Ruth Dauterich and Miss Jennie Breuning were chosen to lead the Senior Class in the work of the Students3 Association. The work of hall duty was carried on very efficiently by the Senior girls. Besides this work, the. 12A ' girls acted as bank tellers for the School Bank, another piece of very cormmendable work. Whether the fact that the volleyball team included several members of the class meant anything or not, the truth remains that the team won the Championship. The 12A girls on that team were Miss Jennie Breuning, Miss Ddrothy Ayres, Miss Hazel McClintoek and Miss Catharine Eaken. The Athletic Association, hitherto an organ? zation somewhat secondary, and not occupying its rightful p1ace in the school activities, underwent a rejuvenation, instigated by several Iipeppyii girls. It reorganized, drew up its constitution, solicited membership, and elected Miss Jennie Breuning as its president. For a long time the A. A. was the topic of the day. To Miss Jennie Breuning and several others of the Senior Class belongs a lot of credit for the work of putting the A. A. on the map. In 12B the Class was enlarged by the double promotion of several girls from the 12A Class; namely, the Misses Jane Heilig, Lillian Antrobus, Marion Scott, Margaret MacKrell, Anna Gorchov, Winifred Hoey and Augusta Steinberg. A thing which greatly characterizes the Senior Year is that spirit of organization of all'Iround good fellowship. Certainly in the June Class of 1926 this spirit was not lacking. In its first Class meeting of the 12B term; the same oiiieers were reelected: 85 Kensington High School Record Miss Trepkus, president; Miss Raymond, secretary; Miss MacNair, treasurer. Then, as was always the case, the Class did something that was different, that completely held it together as a distinct organization. After a discussion it Chose blue and gray as its class colors, and as its motto, iProve your worth by your workfa Even in the beginning of the term the Class planned for those usual events in the Senior Year, the editing of the Record Book and the Senior Prom. The Seniors3 object for their graduation was iieconomyf and they proved this by suggesting two very startling innovations: first, to have the Record Book published for the entire school, thus bringing down its cost to the Class; and second, to have the From in the Gym, if possible. Miss Isabel Ginsburg was elected editorrinrchief of the Record with Miss Flora Sprecher as business manager. The staff was to be chosen by Miss Ginsberg. The dance committee was elected at a later Class meeting: Miss Dorothy Kaferle tchairmany, Miss Mabel Armstrong, Miss Elsie Rogers and Miss Dorothy Roberts. In the meantime, while the Class did carry on its distinct class business, the work of the Studentsi Association was not neglected. Miss Dauterich and Miss Breuning were reeelected as senators. Three members of the Class were excutive ofhcers in the S. A.: Miss Dorothy Roberts, president; Miss Lillian Antrobus, vieeepresident, and Miss Ruth Heinzer, secretary. It was now the duty of the Class to attend to the social end of the schoolvlife: the parties, the receptions, etc. The first occasion was the Freshmens Reception. With a committee for decorations, one for entertainment, and one for refreshments, all working together, the reception was a huge success. Everyone present thoroughly enjoyed herself, and certainly the Freshmen felt more at home after their glorious reception. - . . The DISTAFF was carried on with Miss Heller as editoreinechief; Miss Flora Sprecher, editor of Exchange; Miss Scott and Miss Hoey, School Notes; Miss Betty MacIntosh, Poets, Corner; Miss Dorothy Roberts, Art Editor, with Miss Gorchov and Miss Walther as assistants; Miss Hazel McClintock and Miss Bertha Greenblatt were assistant business managers. No wonder the DISTAFF won honorable mention at the press meeting held in New York. Miss Ginsberg was forced to relinquish her editorship of the Record Book, and Miss Dorothy Heller Was selected in' her stead. Miss Plimpton accepted the sponsor ship of the book. The committee consisted of Miss D. Roberts, Miss Jane Heilig, Miss Betty MacIntosh, Miss Clara Bay, Miss Matilda Roedell, Miss Cecelia Lubeck, IVIiss Isabella Cunningham, Miss Edith Steinberg, Miss Ruth Heinzer, Miss Elsie Rogers. The Record Book is to be published for the entire school at the cost of thirtyefive cents a copy. THE TRIP TO WASHINGTON: This is such an important event that it merits a special paragraph.

The next stop was at Lincoln Memorial. An impressive fifteen minutes were spent by the girls at this wonderful snrine. Ln route to Arlington Cemetery the buses stopped long enough at the Old and New National Museums to allow the girls time to go through each one. At Arlington Cemetery the Class placed flowers on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. The last stop that afternoon was at the Capitol. Under the escort of special guides the girls saw both the House of Representatives and the Senate in session, and a few fortunate ones saw the Supreme Court. - Dinner was served at the Lee House at six olclock. The tour was resumed at eight olclock by a Visit to the Congressional Library. Here the girls spent a most enjoyable evening. , Friday morning breakfast was served at sevenrthirty. The buses came at eightethirty and took the girls to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Here the girls saw how their money and stamps were made. The next stop was at the PaneAmerican Building, the most beautiful small building in all Washington. Perhaps the most delightful sight in Washington at this time of year is the Japanese cherry blossoms which bloom on the banks of the Tidal Basin. After luncheon the party left for Mount Vernon in special electric cars. At Mount Vernon the picture was taken, and the Class had a most enjoyable afternoon rambling around the beautiful estate and through the historic old mansion. The return was made from Mount Vernon by steamer. Friday evening was a gala occasion. The ballroom of the hotel was at the disposal of the Class. The orchestra was also lent to the girls, and a most glorious party was held. Besides dancing, the llknockersl, were presented. Punch and chocolates were served. Saturday after breakfast the girls Visited the Red Cross Building and the White House. At the White House the girls saw the East Wing including the ballroom and several reception rooms, but unfortunately they did not see the President; he was ill and not receiving. The next stop was at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and then at the Naval Display of Airplanes. After luncheon at the Lee House the girls went to the station, left Washington at three olclock, and arrived in Philadelphia at six oraclock. Everyone had a most glorious time. The girls were disappointed to learn from the Board of Education that the Senior Dance could not be held in the Gym unless just enough was charged to meet expenses tabout ten dollarsl. This information, of course, squashed the idea. The Dance Com' mittee, after much effort, secured the Cedarbroo'z: Country Club. On the evening of May 7, 1926, the ballroom of the Cedarbro-ok Country Club was gay with light and festivity. The girls of the Senior Class of the Kensingto-n High School were holding their Senior Prom. llDolled upll would be a mild term to describe these beautiful young women, who flitted happily about in the arms of the most hand some young men! Present at the occasion were the principal, Miss Fenimore, and the class sponsor, Miss Kaulfman. The music was furnished by Cal Rushls Arcadians. CONCLUSION: If one were to sum up in one word the predominant quality of the Senior Class of June, 1926, in the writers opinion, it would be INITIATIVE.
