LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI we, the Class of February, 1932 respectfully and gratefully dedicate this book. i 4- fQS zf, . ,,. 5 1 V X KWWUXF OUR PRINCIPAL To M y Girls: HEN I was a little girl I used to think that if only someone would always play beau' tiful music that I would always be good. Thinkf ing of my childish idea, I see a philosophy in it that applies to grownfups, There is a spiritual quality about l'eautiful music that uplifts our souls and makes us long for better things. While I would not have the nonfgifted tortured, I sometimes regret that even the gifted are too easily satisned. When I have insisted that you should have as much music as possible, I have had in mind your future leisure time. There is a preparation for life-livelihood, and a preparation for living-through literature, art, music. One with love and understanding for these will find resources within himself, a safeguard against what is unworthy and a spiritual gain that cannot he measured. Faithfully yours, BEULAH A. FENIMORE.

Class Sponsor The Music Box, 1932 Class of February, 1932: N THE general rejoicing in graduaf ' tion, are you going to stop once in a while and consider what this new gift, your freedom from guidance and the assigned task, means? A member of the old school has said that school should teach us to learn to like to learn. Learning is what we must work upon all our lives. After all, there is so much knowledge in the world today school can but open doors to you. Those doors lead to greater success in your work, deeper satisfactions in your leisure hours. BEssiE M.

OUR FACULTY OUR FACULTY Class Presidentls Nlessage: HE race is run. We have reached our goal, and now for the greater race, the greater goal. We can run our race with confidence, but let us not forget the rules of the game. Play square. Remember that goals unfairly won do not mean victory. And when you have conquered, do not fail to look back with thanks to those who gave you your start at the beginning of the road. It is not possible that we should fail in the everyday conflict when we are armed with such weapons as those given to us here at Kensington-a sense of fair play, an appreciation of what is fine and beautiful, and the hope of always being true to those to whom we owe the best that is in us. We have learned our lesson here, where our shortcomings are brought to light only to be remedied, where our failures are met with inspiration to do better things and with the hope of success next time, and where our chronic youthful hopelessness and fatality are dis' pelled by the experience and the spirit of new adventure in our friends and teachers, We cannot expect the world to treat us so kindly. Vv7e have, however, discovered just what we can call our best. The world never asks anyone for more than his best. And so, dear friends, give it. We shall not fail. XVe cannot!

Witnesses- THE SENIOR CLASS Euterpe, Goddess of Music Popfeye Olive Cyl Fiftyftwo ' .Rx GQIIASS 'ED IT T WAS the night of Commencement. The speeches had been recited, the songs sung, the diplomas handed around -the feverish excitement was spent. The night which had been so eagerly awaited, which had been so earnestly worked for, was over. The justfgraduated Senior snuggled cosily in bed, heaving a sigh which mingled both relief and regret. Being of a rather serious turn of mind, she thought of the futures of her old classmates-of what they would be nve years hence, The subject was weighty, the hour was late, and the eyelids were heavy, so the Justfgraduated Senior fell asleep. It was night, and a damp, cold wind blew. She was walking into a black, threatening cave. She knew, with that strange feeling we have in sleep, that she was dreaming, but she spoke to herself in her slumber, Dream on. It seemed that she walked miles in a murky, slimy passage toward a light which never came nearer. She heard faint music which she recognized as a part of Verdi's Macbeth Then, as if she had taken a long leap, she suddenly came upon the source of the light-a languorf ously burning tire. Around it were grouped the three witches from Macbeth, gazing with bleary eyes into a cauldron over the fire in which an oily mixture bubbled ominously. The justfgraduated Senior felt her lips move, but she heard no sound issue from thcm, for the music had now gained its full volume and was thundering confusedly in her ears. The witches motioned her to a seat on a rock, they looked as if they had been expecting her. The fire burned lower and lower and the smoke became thick. The witches retired slowly to a corner of the cave. The girl watched the dense smoke as it thickened more and more. Then from the flames and into the fumes rose a scene, a structure, a vision--the Shubert Theatre in New York. Here there were color, light, movement, In one of the boxes sat Ella Humphreys and her husband, a historian, With them was Margaret Kunstmann, the editor of the New 'York Vxforld. In the adjoining box was Marie Jones, a glorified American girl, who had just announced her engagement to the English nobleman seated beside her. In the box directly opposite was Dorothy Bowers, author of k'The Ins and Outs of Personality. She was talking seriously with Kay Baberich, President of Something or Qther. Helen Brewer, winner of a contest for the most unique giggle, was red in the face from suppressed emotion. Here and there in different parts of the house could be seen a number of prominent people: Irene Birchey, bacteriologistg Evelyn Strawley, authoressg Doris Henkels, best shorthand writer in the world, Sylvia Briskman, inventor of a stretching machine which adds inches to one's height, and Mildred Metzger, who was seeing the sights on her honeymoon trip to New York. At the door three notables were coming in: Marguerite Barunas, leader of a movement to abolish brown oxfords for meng Evelyn Berger, author of How to Have Pneumonia and Keep Well, a book which had caused much controversy in medical circles, and Frances Cohen, who had recently made a fortune by winning a contest organized to see who could keep up an argument the longest. Behind them were Esther Ornstein, a seasoned globeftrotter just home after Fiftyfour Kensington High School having been busily globeftrotting for two yearsg Ida Wallack in a flutter fshe had just been introduced to a handsome Spaniardjg and Madeline Brook, author of 'The Art of Worryi11g. The scene of busy excitement usual to the preparation of a firstfnight performance was being enacted backstage. The stage manager, Lillian Fischer, was hustling and bustling back and forth. Her assistant, Regina Pinto, was giving lastfminute instrucf tions to the scene Shifters. This group was headed by Claire Pillish and were busy with the theatrical paraphernalia designed and executed by Anna Martin, Margaret Blume, and Helen Zens. The makefup expert, Marjorie Northcote, hurried by and collided with Margaret Daemer, photographer for the New 'York Wcrvld, who had come for a camera study of the star. The orchestra, which numbered among its members Wilhelmiiia Kunz, pianist, and Fannie Thompson, first violinist, was playing the introduction, and in a moment the curtain rose on the first act of Camille, in which Helen Raczka, the famous tragedian, was taking the title role. The vision of the playhouse moved slowly up the column of smoke and then vanished into the air. Another picture had formed itself above the flames-the interior of a skyscraper in the heart of Philadelphia. On the ground floor was the beauty establishment of Quinn, Wolfe and Kahmar. Two huge placards announced the shops specialties as being Eleanor McClurken's Dewskin and h'Catherine Hampson's Eyelash Grower. Evelyn Kyle was just going out the door after having received a permanent wave. The rest of the building was largely devoted to business offices. Some of the words on oflice doors were as follows: Margaret Coulter-Liberty Above All, Florence LandaufBoost john Bolesmg School of the Dance-Office--Helene Gelb, President, Marie Scott, First VicefPresidentg Beatrice Rosenstein, Second VicefPresif dent , Helen Moorels School of Dentistry-Office, Ruth Haspel's and Mary Hassman's Studio for Prospective Cheer Leaders, i'Sylvia Pill Chemical Companyf k'Margaret Kendrick, French Interpreter, and Esther Lander-AttorneyfatfLaw. Pessie Blumenthal, the poetess and Julia Dorsey, writer, were just coming out of the office of Mary Maher, publisher. A door to an office was open and Clara Heilig could be seen taking dictation from a burly politician with a twentyffive cent cigar hanging out of the corner of his mouth. Stenographers and bookkeepers were walking down halls and opening and shutting doors. Among them were Mildred Zeigenfus, Gerf trude Nennich, Edith Adelman, Eleanor Petzoldt, Anna Krauter, Sarah Hoffman, Regina Schmolze, Rose Cicko, and Marian Hoffman. At one end of the hall was Dorothea Newton, demonstrating an escalator to be used in high schools. At the other end of the hall, Marie Higgins was excitedly saying that she had just come to earth after riding in an airplane piloted by Elva Buckhalter, a pilot at Hedwig Diedrichson's airport. Alice Fleck, Olympic highfjump champion, and Laura Vardaro, another track star, were listening to her. Nearby a sign read: 'iDehate on Prohibition Today--Room 51973 P. M.-Lorraine Flynn vs. Mildred Nagel-Judges: Elsie Freitag and Hazel Eberhardtf' The scene shifted to the exterior of the building and slowly down the street. There was the fashionable jewelry shop owned and operated by Florence Chntrup and Lillian Yates. There was the millinery shop of Sobel, Moskowitz and Company, and there was Ethel Mandell's Cat Store, out of which came strolling Muriel Heck with a cat in both arms. The vision of a hospital appeared in the smoke. A laboratory door in one of the corridors was open, and who should be there but Valeria Wark, Frances Marianna, Fiftyfjive The Music Box, 1932 Agnes Vance, and Naomi Shugerman surrounded by their test tubes. Out in the corridor Edith Anderson, the dietitian, was talking to Mary Shroeder and Minnie Albert, nurses, and Kathryn Clark, a baby specialist. A school was next-a high school. The teachers were at lunchiMyrtle Black' well, gym teacher, Marie Streit, weary with pounding social science into the dull heads of pupils, Helna Crooks, English teacher, Lucille Reber, instructor of what X equals, Erna Stuber, head of the science department, and Gertrude Hurvitz, home economics teacher. Phyllis Derbyshire and Elizabeth Berkowitz were librarians in the school library. The smoke haze next revealed a party in Greenwich Village, of which Margaret Pollock was hostess. She was having great difficulty in keeping three persistent reporters--Lillian Harben, Minnie Karlic, and Helen Boyajian--off the premises. The next two views slid by in rapid succession-a vast expanse of sea, a line of snowfcovered mountain ranges-Switzerland. At St. Moritz a night icefcarnival was being held. The central attraction was Pearl Leopold, the supreme fancy icefskater, who was doing some remarkable capers on the ice. Her gorgeous costume was made of cloth of gold trimmed with ermine and had been designed by Catherine Bernard and Florence Mcllravey. Some of the enthusiastic spectators were Regina Adler, a motorboat racer, who was on her winter vacation, Selma Rosenblum, premier danseuse of a Parisian theatre, also on her vacation, Evelyn Kohler, lecturer on gaining weight, and Jeanne Huyett, who was making a tour around the world with Mildred Davidoff as companion. Johanna Angerman, a reporter for the social column of an American newspaper, was there talking with Jane Przasnyska, Lillian Boorstein, and Grace Rosen' feld, buyers of Swiss novelties. The music room in a hotel in Rome was the last picture offered by the flames. Ida Lang, music critic, was listening to Maria Rapp's rendition on the. organ of The Young Prince and the Young Princess from Scheherazade. Afterward, Ethel Mintz, the soprano, sang a composition written by Margaret Beggs, Helen Nowakowf ska accompanying on the violin. The select audience was composed of Evelyn Goldf stein, who was traveling in order to have something interesting to put in her diary, Alice Bartok, Minnie Katz, who was the American ambassador to Italy, Gertrude Shamis, and Edna Lambeck, who was telling the person nearest that she had seen Beatrice Reynolds in Egypt on her way to the interior of Africa. The music room vanished, the tire died, the smoke thinned, and the Justfgraduated Senior drifted into dreamless rest. ,-, 54-5554, Ni f 'ECYQKI Fzfryfsix .fg- WG' Q Af X X W t fa I 2 j . u Q , e W IH' MLC! - - ,N , o 6.1- I TA S EE QI I WO fantastic persons walked into a giant conefshaped building. By means of a ridiculous apparatus which they attached to the backs of their necks, they ascended a long shaft to the top floor. Here they joined a group of creatures just as fantastic as themselves, who were looking at a grotesque figure standing upon a raised platform. He was talking. Fellowfwalkers of the Earth: we are gathered here today to listen to a relic ofthe year 1932, which has recently been unearthed. This relic, a boxflike instrument which the people of that age called a phonograph, is accompanied by four, smooth, black discs called records, which, when put on the phonograph, reproduce sounds which are either music or a persons voice, In this case, they reproduce a person's voice. The first record we shall hear is called 'Freshman Year at Kensington High School- Class of February, 1932,' Do not be astonished at some of the words which the speaker uses. You know that the language has changed much since that age. He adjusted the record and started it in motion, Our first year at Kensington-what a rapturous, thrilling time it was to our young hearts, What an ecstasy of anticipation we felt as we were greeted by our new principal, our new teachers, and our 'big sisters,' to whom we looked up with reverent awe, We had our first taste of school politics when we elected Margaret Hartmann and Ella Humphreys as senators of our class, Then came the Freshman Reception. How proudly we flaunted our green bows, and how good the pickles and pretzels tasted! fWe have a secret suspicion that we enjoyed them only because of the circumstances under which they were servedj By the time Stunt Night came we were well settled in our school. We stepped and sang with enthusiastic vigor to gain the coveted cup. But the Juniors won. However, we were not disheartened, for were there not three more opportunities ahead? September saw us back in school, plunging wholefheartedly into our affairs. Dot Bowers and Ella Humphreys were elected as leaders. By this time our strange' ness had worn off and we felt ourselves as part of the school itself. Let us have more, clamored the eager audience as the record came to an end. The grotesque creature complied. The next record is called 'Sophomore Year at Kensington High School-Class of February, 1932.' And all the fantastic people crowded near as the second disc unwound itself. 'Sophomornores'! The word held magic for us. We were in seventh heaven when we came back in September. Smirking, we watched the new 'greeni Freshmen ask for twofcent lunch checks and rush into the wrong rooms with a kind of anxious bewilderment. To be seen with a Freshman was a disgrace impossible to live down. We condescendingly attended the Freshmaifs Reception, making our yellow bows exceptionally large and wide. 'Wise fools' we were indeed. Our senators were the same as had been elected the term before. During this term we had our first class meeting. Again the judges' verdict at Stunt Night was unfavorable to us, and we solemnly resolved to win the next year. Cnr IOB term saw us monitors in the lunchroom with Helen Brewer and Aloise Conrad, our senators, directing us. We did our duty and accepted our privileges cheerfully, you may be sure. The rest of the term was practically uneventful, hut we jogged contentedly along. Fiftyfeight Kensington High School 'Junior Year at Kensington High School,' 4' announced the figure on the plat- form. We gained a greater signihcance the next term, when Dorothy Bowers came prominently into the political spotflight. She was elected the Secretary of the Students' Association, and our hearts swelled with honest pride and joy as we watched her march with measured step at the installation of officers. Our senators, Ella Humphf reys and Aloise Conrad, guided us in the execution of our class duty-computing attendance percentages. Our resolution of the year before to win the Stunt Night Cup was not in vain because, though we did not win the cup, we did have the best song. Our positions as 'big sisters' in 11B we took soberly enough. The Freshmen Reception was prepared by our senators, Dorothy Bowers and Helen Brewer, in col' laboration with the big sisters. We provided the Students' Association again with a SecretaryfElla Humphreys, An election was held by the class to decide whether to have the old style of class rings or the new style. The new rings were chosen, and we became their proud owners just around Christmas. The next record was placed upon the phonograph- The Fourth and Last Year at Kensington High School. As Seniors we acquired a new dignity becoming to our exalted position. Our senators, Helen Brewer and Ella Humphreys, prepared assembly programs, Dorothy Bowers was installed as VicefPresident of the Students' Association. In April the Senior Dramatic Club presented the old favorite, 'Little Womenf The cast included Ella Humphreys, Helen Raczka, Ida Lang, and Dorothea Newton. We emerged triumphant from the gaiety of Stunt Night, after being tortured with suspense for almost a half hour while the judges deliberated. We finished the term by electing Ida Lang as EditorfinfChief of the RECORD BOOK. In September, we elected the rest of our Class Officers: Margaret Coulter, President, Doris Henkels, Secretary, and Alice Fleck, Treasurer. Anna Martin was chosen as the Art Editor of the RECORD BOOK with her committee of three: Regina Pinto, Pearl Leopold, and Margaret Kendrick, Helen Zens was elected Business Manager, assisted by Lillian Yates, Claire Pillish, Ida Wallack and Mildred Nagel, Margaret Daemer became the Photograph Chairman, with Gertrude Nennich and Edith Adelman as her assistants. Marie jones was the Dance Chairman, with Ella Humphreys and Florence Mcllravey on her committee, The Gift Staff consisted of Ethel Mandell, Chairman, Mary Maher, and Minnie Albert. 0ur disappointment at not going to Washingon was somewhat softened by the consoling thought that there was still the Prom. And what a Prom it was! December 11, 1931, at the Penn Country Club! Thus, we completed our fourfyearflong journey together-a journey full of pleasant, useful things-sweet friendships, experience, and learningAthings we shall never forget, and which will always leave their mark upon us. We leave the fortress which has sheltered us for so long, each with a better understanding, a better knowledge of human nature, and a fuller, deeper appreciation of what wonders and beauties life can hold for us, if we but seek them out. The grotesque creatures left the auditorium with observations like uQuaint! k'Amusing! and Very unusual. They left the conefshaped building and promptly forgot what they had heard.

Our sympathetic, helpful girls joined the Y. G.
