THIS IS OUR SKYLINE, FASCINATINGLY UNAT- TAINABLE, ADVANCING ALIVAYS AS IVE ADVANCE. TO OUR SKY- LINE, THEREFORE, IVE DEDICATE THIS BOOK. IVITH THE HOPE AND RESOLVE THAT EACH -DAY ITS SIVEEP MAY GROIV CLEARER, BROADER, AND NOBLER. W H: Strong, with the strength of welded steel, Molded for speed, with graee and might, Clezmly, our planes are shaped to feel The kiss of the air, to soarwznd wheel-4 Born- of the earth, but made for flight. Som-e have been built to hu-nz and drone Smoothly, on charted, busy ways. Others will roar their may alone, Far into skies where none has flown, Free as the wind, new trails to blaze. God, when the fog obscures our view, H end-winds are strong, or storms end-ure, Let every plane be staunch, fight through, Instruments right, controls held true, Q Motors in- tu-ne, and pilot sure. l'Vhirling, they sing the song of the air, Roaring propellers, discs of light. lllillions of cloud-nziles call us there. U' e rise on our wings, the winds to dare, Riding the skgwnys-ivzv flight! JANET GRAVES l MA, ex- i BIGI' LAII A. FENIMORIC Principrzl AAA One of the things to learn is that you must live with yourself, and so you must be fit to live with. Always be able to look yourself in the eyef' You may de- ceive other peopleg yourself you cannot deceive. Whatever happens, be worthy of your own respect, and you need never fear the censure of others. Faithfully yours, Beulah A. Fenimore. Vvv The Skylinee-Kensington High School Phillips Brooks, one of Ameriea's greatest preachers and thinkers, once said, Do not pray for an easy lifeg pray to be strong: do not pray for tasks equal to your strengthg pray for strength equal to your tasksf' This is my message to youg this is my wish for you: that you may be true and loyal and faithful always, but above all that you may be courageous. For life calls for courage, but the reward of courage is rich beyond our under- standing. EL1zA11E'rH A. Fmwsnuru. Uluss Sponsor.

NVQ need not, however, part forever. VVQ can always come back to our Kensington as alumnae, as we will later come back to our homes-more enlightened from contact with a. world outside of school. May our solemn Commencement Exercises ever remain in our minds as the termination of hard work, hard, fair play, and those social and school activities that tend to bind our friendships.

There is no doubt that everything appeared strange, for there were new faces on every side. new rules to be learned, new aequaintauces to be made. and the Students' Association to be explained. Yet it w0u't he long before the Freshmen ad- just themselves to their new surroundings and beeome active members of the S. A. ELECTION RETURNS Kemptner and Kurfuerst Senators I'hiladelph1ia. October 11. 1.925 -On Oetoher 10. 1925. The Freshmen elected senators. VVith Florence Kemptner and Adele Kurfuerst holding! these impor- tant positions, the Freshmen look forward to an active term. Y, 1, FROSH AT MASQUE Newcomers Make Debut Philadelphia, October 31, 1925 -Friday, October 31, ushered in social activities for the new term with a reception for the Freshmen. Since plans were carefully made, the party proved to be the 'best given. The Frosh arrived in masquerade costumes. The other girls wore sehool colors in the form of bands, hair ribbons. and searfs. After a highly pleasing enter- tainment in the auditorium. the guests retired to the gym for dancing and ever-welcome re- freslnnents.

This is the date of the Fi-eshmen's Reception. The mills of the gods grind slowly. 3 48 HIGH FLIERS DO STUNTS Fresh Win Fame on Stage Philadelphia. May 28, 1926- Every year the students await the arrival of Stunt Night, and when it has passed. eagerly look forward to that of the coming year. On this night. when the entire school assembles, school spirit reaches its zenith. and an air of suspense and excitement characterizes the gathering. The plots of the various stunts this year were built around the theme of the Sesqui- t'entennial. and developed by each class in an individual way. lVith a garden scene as a haekground, the Freshmen stunt had an attractiveness all its own. Seated in a moonlit gar- den, the fairy queen, in the presence of other fairies, called for spirits from three different ages. all of whom appeared with songs and dances deseriptive of the ages respectively represent- ed by them. The first group pictured the colonial period: the second. the Civil War pe- riod, and the third. the present day. The queen was more pleased with the modern. snap- py dance than with the older, more sedate niinuet or the Jim f-ll'0!l', The stunt closed. loudly arc-laimed by the audience and praised bv the judges who awarded it a well-deserved SPC'- ' ond place. Class of June, 1929 The judges for our first stunt night. were llonorary Chairman, Miss Fcnimoreg judges. Mrs. Keller, Miss Mabel Fertig, and Miss. Dorothy Bowen.

S. lt is hoped that they, too, will soon become thoroughly ac- quainted with the school, its spirit, and its faculty. The K. 11. S. Melting Pot is work- ing overtime these days. GREAT CLEAN-UP 10A's Triumph Philadelphia, September 15, 1926-As a reward for the splendid work which they did last year in caring for the clean- liness of the school, the present 10A's will be given a party. The date of the gala afair has not yet been set, but the Senior Committee in charge is now working on the plans. The work of the last year's SIB classes was justly voted the best of all. and their successful efforts to keep the school clean and neat surely merits the prize which they will shortly receive. Give the little girls a' hand! LAMBS GAMBLE- WHO WON? Five join Dramatic Club Philadelphia, October S, 1926 -The evident nervousness of those who appeared for Dra- matic Club try-outs on October 7 indicated that they felt nmch was at stake. To be a Dramatic Club member is a s u p r em e achievement and w o rthy of such effort. The aspirants were all so well prepared and so convincing that the club members must have been nicely critical, indeed, to be able to discriminate in so ditlicult a matter. However, the luoky 10A's are Edith Scott, Mary Mc-Derinott. Sarah Shatkiu. Lucille Dorman, a n d Florence Abromowitz. Page Ziegfeld I FINANCIAL NEWS Treasurer Takes Office Philadelphia.

The music master sat as judge. Ilis problem was dif- ficult since all filled their parts so well. The Sophomore girls, 49 however, pleased him most and, therefore, received the prize.

His impatience was short-lived, however, for soon his double appeared. These two, unquestionably brothers, were lawyers of note and reminded one strangely of'qHmkHzmd'ThuH,SmRh Hmm wmmawegmdkmmiofcmghdmp fame. In a little while others began to drift in, and soon a motley crowd was assembled. A weeping figure, draped in black, was much in evidence. Someone whis- pered that she was known as Bliss Faculty and that she was most deeply stirred by the passing of the one whose will was about to be read. There was, besides, a small childish figure, dressed in green, that stayed close to llliss Faculty and carried an overstuffed brief case. Miss Faculty, though bowed in grief, was heard to warn her not to eat too many pickles and pretzels at: the reception, in winch event she nnght be having her wih read soon. Other fannhar Hgures could be disce1'ned, but attention was centered on Ebenezer Dillingham, one of the lawyers, who cleared his throat, and in a sad tone began: This, my friends, is the last will and testament of the Class of June, 1929. It reads as follows: We, the Class of June, 1929, seemingly pos- sessed of fairly sane minds in extremely sound bodies, do hereby decree that this is absolutely our last will and testament. I. To Miss Fenimore we bequeath our undy- ing appreciation of the fact that she was always a guiding hand and a wise friend, ever willing to advise, and help us over the rough spots. II. To the Faculty we leave a bed in what- soever hospital they desire. We admit they have earned a thorough rest after grading the indeci- pherable papers we so frequently handed themg nor have we forgotten how they tolerated nobly our exasperating pranks and admirably survived the brilliancy displayed by us in the various sub- jects taught by them, our august superiors. III. To the Students' Association we leave the ever shining ideals, the motto of K. H. S.-- UHonor, Service, and Efficiencyn-with the earnest hope that the remaining student body will strive to bring these ideals one point nearer realization. 58 . Class of June, 1929 IV. To the lunch room force we bequeath the energy we have used while throwing the silverware into the receptacle designated for it. We suggest that they put our parting gift to use by making strawberry short cake, nhot dogsu and other such healthful things as young appetites crave. V. To the Athletic Association we bequeath the hope that the remaining Kensingtonians will win as many class championships as we have and that their lungs will permit them to yell and cheer as lustily at games as we did. VI. To our Class Sponsor, Miss Fewsmith, and to our Record Book Sponsors, Miss O'Loughlin and Miss Johnson, we leave our everlasting remem- brances of the cheerfulness with which they helped us many times at their own expense. VII. To the Freshies of K. H. S., we will our cast-off socks and green bows. VIII. To the Class of February, '50, we leave our outstanding ability, exercised during our entire four years, for getting ncrushes' and getting over them. We hope that they will derive as much diversion from this heart-rending pastime as we have. IX. To the School Store we bequeath such articles as were instrumental in making us nlook prettyn, as, for instance, compacts, combs, hair- pins, etc. Perhaps when we again visit K. H. S. as Alumnae spirits, we shall see a small but flourishing department store. Signed and sealed, this fourteenth day of the second month of the year of our Lord, nine- teen hundred twenty-nine.

Trained workers are given the preference and also command higher salaries and more responsible positions right from the start. The COMPTOMETER COURSE is the result of 40 years of study and research, and covers every phase of business figure work. A few weeks' training in our school puts the beginner a year or more ahead of those who start in office work without specialized instruction or experience.

IIS BOO RIDE in our work, --that thing within us which makes us yearn always for better things, has entered prominently in the pro' duction of this book. GLANCING through its pages you scarcely know why you instantly recognize a. pleasing difference,-but to those of us who visualized and created the mental ideals of what it should be, it represents the successful culmination of the thoughts and ideas in back of it, and their blending into a harmonious whole. We are proud of our work, and in en- tire coniidence offer the same co-oper- ation and service to all customers. IK CLARK PRINTING HOUSE, Incorporated H 4- X , J' Philadelphia --e.vfQ- .Ccflu-.
