Principal lflll lf IH IE 'IQILASS 'Ulf JIIUNIE., 1IQlI4l1I RIUMPH will evidence itself in a different form for each of you upon the attainment of this, your first goal-the com- pletion of your high school career. Some of you have achieved high honors scholastically. Some of you have done outstanding workin your chosen 6.eldwArt, Music, Business, Homemaking. And, others have shown ability inleadership in Student Govern- ment, in Athletics. Whatever the field of your particular triumph, it has been of your own choosing. Your state of joy at this success will depend entirely on how much you have done toward deserving it. Is your feeling one of real achievement, of credit well deserved, or just that of having gotten by ? Success in your future endeavors will lie measured largely by your sense of values attained during the last three years. My prayer for you is that you may always keep high ideals before you and thus know the fullest meaning of triumph. Sincerely yours, 6 MRS. MARIE K. LONGSHORE

VL, .3 DR. HARRIET J. LINK Retiring Principal A TIDIIIIBIIHFIE TDD IDID. ILIINIK O MANY of our experiences at Kensington High School are intertwined with memories of Dr. Link that we, the Class of june, 1941, feel that it is altogether fitting and proper that we pay this tribute to her. Dr. Link is a true illustration of the American success story- the gradual and steady climb of achievement, culminating in her appointment in 1932 as principal of the high school in which she had once taught. Prior to that time she acted as principal of the Jones junior High School. We deeply regret that her retirement came before our graduation, and we sincerely hope that Dr. Link is enjoying her stay in South America. And so, Dr. Link, we want to thank you for your understanding and guidance which has made this, our initial Triumph, possible. BERNICE MIROW. 5

DR MARGARET W. HENDERSON Class Sponsor TD THE 'EILASS 'Ulf JIIUNIEQ 1941 HE theme Triumph makes us think of great explorers, like Byrd, discovering new lands, great scientists, like Pasteur, conquering diseaseg great reformers, like Frances Willard, overcoming evil in the world, great engineers, like John F. Stevens, making railways and roads over high mountains. You may ask, What can we conquer? How can we triumph? Have you ever completed a particularly unpleas- ant task? Have you done it in such manner that others have thought you enjoyed doing it? If so, then you know the true meaning of triumph. Perhaps you are handicapped in health or personality. Re-organize your habits. Find out what quali- ties you need to change in your personality. Work hard at these aims and enjoy the triumph which comes as a result of perse- verance. My wish for every member of the Class of June, 1941 is that you may triumph in the little things of life, succeed in your everyday activities, and' enjoy the feelingof work well done. WJ
