X f WW Q 4 7 DEDICATION To the future, which will be only as great as we. up 1' T OTHING that was worthy in the past departs, no truth or greatness realized by man ever dies or can die but is all still here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless changes. -THOMAS CARLYLE. The years you have spent in high school have been Filled with many problems-some were easily solved, others are still puzzling you, and will continue to do so. You have learned that there are questions which must be decided, not for the moment, but for the long future. We are all aware of the fact that in our present emergency we must choose those goods and services to be maintained and enhanced, and those to be curtailed or dispensed with entirely. And, in doing this, there must be full understanding of the present and future effect of such decisions, Errors in judgment can- not be compensated for. The results will be registered per- manently in our history and our citizens. lt therefore be- hooves us to examine carefully, think clearly, and evaluate logically as we determine the relative value of our goods and services. You will have many opportunities to prove yourselves, to show all of us your strength of character, your unselfish service to others, your courage and your charity. Think not of the present alone, but of the future. Build now, save now, prepare now, for the years to come. if C ASS SPONSOR Mrs. M. Rathmell TO THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1949: This term the door closes upon your high school life, and, for the most part, the girl who leaves us is a person quite dif-ferent from the one who came to us such a few short years ago. She possesses increased knowledge, new skills, and keener appreciations, she has studied energetically and played equally vigorouslyi she has worked with her fellow students and for them. She has known the joy of success and possibly the heartache of an occasional defeat, but she feels confident, still, that life is right and holds a place for her. This girl will be a finer individual and a better citizen be- cause of her experiences here, for she is aware that she is but a small part of a group and that the welfare of all is re- lated to her as an individual. Our present turbulent world is in need of just such per- sons. Possibly unprecedented demands may be made upon each of you, and adjustments and sacrifices may be required. Remember that we live not to ourselves but with others and for others and the well-being of our community, state, and nation rests with each of us. My best wishes go to each of you. May you find success and happiness.

IHIlS'iI'0RY f x X X X X ENSINGTON HlGH SCHOOL has seen almost a quarter of a century pass, forty-eight classes have come and gone. Now we, the forty-ninth, are ready to leave. Let us pause for a moment and see how Kensington, our school, came to be. ln September, 1910, a group of one hundred Fifty-three girls from the north- east district of Philadelphia began their high school careers in the Hart Grammar School at Yorlc and Memphis Streets. This was the First time that the girls of Ken- sington had had an opportunity of receiving even the First year of high school training in their own neighborhood. The school was called the Northeast Annex to William Penn High School. Miss Beulah Fenimore was teacher-in-charge, under her supervision were Four other teachers. Every bit of space was used for classes, until teachers' loclcer-room, lunch- room, and pupils' inlirmary were only screened divisions of the office. Then, at lndiana Avenue and D Street an annex was opened. It was called the North- east High School, and, although it was an annex, it had a distinct identity. It was at this point in our school history that blaclc and gold replaced the gray and black of William Penn High School as our school colors. Because the students requested a song, Miss Fenimore wrote the words for our school song, for which Madelaine Egan, an interested pupil, composed the music. Northeast's First graduating class had a separate commencement at William Penn. Then in September, 1917, Kensington High School became independent. Miss Fenimore, its organizer, was appointed the First principal. A new school building had been decided upon in September of1916, the cornerstone was laid at Cumberland and Coral Streets, and in one year classes began in the building. Alter many years ol unmeasurable service, Miss Fenimore in 1932 retired and was succeeded by Dr. Linlc. Before she became principal, Dr. l.inlc, beginning in 1914, had already done much for the school as teacher, head of the commercial department, and principal of the Kensington Evening High School. Although the new building had room to spare at First, it was not long before Kensington again became overcrowded. Consequently in 1937 an annex was opened in the Adams School building. Shortly after this Kensington's progress became, and has since been, a Familiar part of our daily lives. Following the resignation of Dr. l.inlc in January, 1941, Mrs. Marie K. Long- shore, in accordance with the unanimous wish of Faculty and student body alilce, was appointed principal in the spring of 1941. Thus we see Kensington's history has been marked by great progress under capable leadership. The Future, we hope, will follow a similar pattern of con- stant advancement. 13 f 1 1 xg f-ff? -f g . kifyfgcf J w-K '54 -+ if 3f'L'cLfCw- 'iii Q :Srl gtf'E' WWA -4 , JFS ,ar ,Sgbjlr ff ffl7'll7'f'73 I 0- A I , X ' W'-,r ' ' itfx-- 'rf ' f'uQ 1 C-1'JL'jJ1,,'.55,Q,' gl fl , 5 H Fw. 5 i s ' ' ha Viyfsf 5 'Qi'-y 0 U- p , , L- IIE ei X LY- .

We must each remember that, though a leaf be darlc or light or of a different shape, it is structurally the same as every other leaf upon the tree. True, there are those blighted by wickedness and greed, but their character is not a result of shape or colorl Evil is evil, no matter what the outward guisel Even as now, clouds often thickly overcast the slcy, but the sun is permanent, and clouds, however ominous, must ultimately pass away. ROSEMARY GAVASSO, Editor-in-Chief 15 g JANE E. SCHAICK Class President Dear Classmates: At tlwis time of world crisis, America must now, more tlian ever before, endeavor to up- lwold Democracy. We, as students, liave been living in a small democracy of our ownbour scl1ool. lclere we lwave been able to see tlne deep moral values of democracy functioning- respect for tlwe individual, equality of oppor- tunity for all, and an intelligent form of liberty. llrierefore, we lcnow and appreciate tliese American ideals even at tliis early stage of our lives, and we realize tlwe importance of believ- ing in tlwem to suclw an extent tliat eacl'i of us will represent a strong and faithful girder in tlie frameworlc of Democracy. llius, it is imperative tlwat we try to upliold and encourage similar tlwouglits in tlwe minds of our foreign friends, wlio lwave been unfortunate players in a drama of lost principles. Let us do all we can to lceep our land free. Let us so truly in our own lives embody tlnose principles of regard and aid for all of our fel- lows tlwat in some small way we may lwelp keep alive a briglwter vision for tliose wlwo live in darkness. MARGARET LAUTERWASSER Vice-President 16 GERTRUDE M. ADOLF S. A. President Dear Classmates: Graduation has always symbolized both hail and farewell. Unfortunately, the phase of our lives that we now hail must take its course in a world engulfed by war and destruction. ln such a world we must clearly define the princi- ples that should guide us. Let us remember that the great anxieties and difficulties we now face can be endured more easily if we fix our gaze not upon them but upon the bright outcome that we await. If we can see a brilliant horizon, even though far off, of strengthened Democracy and freedom, we can somehow manage to endure the threaten- ing clouds that darlcen our lives at present. With this vision in our hearts, let us pro- foundly desire to do everything we can to help our country and fellow-men. With courageous hearts, we say farewell to our carefree school days, and with spirits dis- ciplined and mature hail to whatever awaits us. MARGARET C.

WIE ARE YQUNG They gaze at us with pity, Those who have gone before. They sorrow for hopes to be blasted And dreams that will fade with the dawn. But, though we leave with a sad farewell These halls of joy and content, It is not with sorrow or fear of tomorrow, But with hope and strength ofthe young. For youth conquers fearl With our heads held high And eyes clear and bright, We step out With the fervor of spring. Shall we Fear a world Which is not at its best, A world without Faith or ideals? We set us the taslc Cf shaping its ways And coping with fear and decay.

Dear Anne: At last l'm in high schooll l'm a sophomore in Kensington, and itfs wonder- full Even though our first day was rainy and dismal, the S. A. President Cwhatever S. A. meansb made us feel right at home. With our Big Sisters we toured the school, it's so largel Most of my classes are in the annex, located a few bloclcs away in the Adams School. It isn't a very handsome building, but because the enrollment is small and we are all sophomores, it seems cozy. The other day our Big Sisters entertained us at the Sophomore Reception with My Cousin from Sweden. Afterwards we went to the gym, danced, and had piclcles and pretzels, the traditional refreshments. f-laving shalcen the moth-balls out of their suits, Kensington girls are waiting impatiently for their Northeast-Franlcford Swim at Somerton Springs. Another high- light is Stunt Day. Each class prepares a cheer, stunt, and song, judges choose the best one. Ours was a hill-billy slcit entitled United by Jitterbuggingf' and we wonl We made those mighty seniors sit up and talce noticel ln our class there are two girls Cwhom we don't lcnowl who tattle about us in their gossip column in the HDial.

We gave an after-school play with the Senior Dramatic Club, Mrs Magicians Nlistalcen was our contribution. Next term l'll be in the main building. Gee, no more early dismissalsl 'Til next time, Sue December, 1939. Hello: Qur Vocal Ensemble recently presented l-lawley's Christ Child, a can- tata. The girls who toolc part were robed in white and carried candles, it was lovely to see, and Financially the affair was a grand success. Next month we sophomores will attend our first dance with the Northeast boys, it's going to be a red-letter day in our young lives. The school is buzzing with holiday activities now. We'll soon begin to prepare our Christmas baslcets for needy neighborhood families. Everything seems gay and full of good will. Good-bye, and happy holidays. Your friend, Sue 38 April, 1940. Dear Anne: l can't imagine what has made my First year at Kensington l-ligh School go so quiclcly. l'm a junior alreadyl lt's fun being a Big Sister, one has such a grown-up and protective feeling. l wonder, though, if l was ever as stupid as some ofthose poor sophsl We're worlcing on a play for their reception now.

We,re adopting a boyl lmaginel It hardly seems possible that another summer is almost here. Mmmmmmmm, l can already feel the warm waves and sand. Abbysinnia, Suz P. S.-l lere's an interesting tidbit. On April 1, Kensington and Northeast staged a quiz broadcast over WFIL. The program was Teacher, l Know. Our seniors did well, but the boys won by two points. November, 1940. Anne dear: Our summer vacation may have passed quiclcly, but it certainly didn't equal the way this term is slipping alongl l'd give my new wedgies to lcnow where all those marvelous resolutions are that l made in September. Your school may boast a football team, but it's never produced a Miss Americal Frannie Burlce certainly has put Kensington on the map. There have been several changes made in Kensington High School. Because of illness, our principal, Dr. Linlc, has gone to Buenos Aires, and Mrs. Longshore, head of our commercial department, has assumed her duties. Under W. P. A. super- vision a recreation room is being established in the annex-an ideal place for par- ties and meetings as well as reading and games. ln an assembly program we were treated to a visit by John Liney, the creator of Henry Cyou lcnow-in the lnquirer D. l-le gave us pointers on commercial Cartooning. 4 'Bye now, Suzan May, 1941. Anne: l'm in raptures over the prom! We didn't have the best of weather, but every- thing was just perfect. Everyone loolced so glamorous, and Bill . . . really, he loolts lilce Errol Flynn in a tuxl We were given a bronze lcey as a lceepsalce-as if 39 l'd need that to make me rememberl Speaking of dances, Northeast and Kensington cooperated on a very successful night dance. If we dance much more, we'll begin to feel like a flock of lrene Castles. Do you remember my mentioning that our principal had gone to South America? She will remain there, and Mrs. Longshore has been appointed principal. The seniors had a choice in their travels this year. Some toured Philadelphia, others visited Washington. Those at the Capitol were caught in a downpour at Mount Vernon, but everyone arrived home safely Cexcept for various minor ail- ments of the pedal extremitieslj. Your friend, Suzan January, 1942 Dear Anne: My pictures have returned from the photographers at lastl When the proofs came back, we were all so disappointed, they looked terrible. But the Finished product is another story. Our Vocal Ensemble gave another Fine cantata in Qctober. This time it was Evangeline Kensington is being glamorizedl The lunchroom looks ever so cozy now that new curtains made by the sewing classes have been hung. Qur cooking rooms, too, have been remodeled and moved to a brighter room on the First Floor. An authentic Pennsylvania Dutch apartment is being prepared as a source of practical experience For home economics classes. We had the grandest surprise in assembly several weeks ago! Alice Marble, the women's tennis champion, gave us a talk on health in connection with the l-lale America movement which has been authorized by President Roosevelt. Were we thrilledl A sort of get-together for the fall term, Kensington Kapers, was tried out last month for the First time. We had loads of lun, and, incidentally, we wonl Like every other senior, l am tangled in a terrific end-of-the-term whirl. It hardly seems possible that the next time l see you I'II no longer be a high school girl. Anne dear, l wouldn't have missed these school years for anything in the world, but now, as l look forward, l'm atingle with excitement and expectationl Always your, Sue 40 RIHIYTIHM IIN Tlln-'IE IRAIIN HY, of all the days in the year, did it have Wm be miserable and dreary today? lt was May 9, 1941, and the seniors of Kensington l-ligh School were preparing for a gala event. All about the school girls with colorful bandanas about their tightly pinned curls could be seen. Classes were noisy, anxious eyes repeatedly wandered to the windows in search of signs of approaching rain, and restless minds continually strayed from Latin and alge- bra to thoughts of the Prom. Period after period passed, and 2:30 still seemed so far offl The weather was exas- perating, too. lt just couldn't decide whether to rain or not. At last we heard the shrill ringing of the final bell. Classrooms were quickly emptied, coats were hur- riedly gathered, and girls rushed from the building. At home the slow hours were spent bathing, getting dressed, and constantly praying that curls would stay in amid all the dampness. Then came the final touches Y--straightening a bow, applying an unnecessary dab of powder, and putting a stray hair into place. Eight o'clock brought the prompt arrival of the per- fect escort, handsomely attired in a formal, white din- ner jacket, and in his hands that little boxfperhaps they're roses or gardenias or even an orchid. After many fond farewells from doting parents, admiring friends, and curious neighbors, off you go in that sharp convertible coupe. There is the Brookline Country Club in front of you nowl Oh-oh- that was spoken too soon. It seems that this is the wrong road. Well, it's best to ask someone. The dimly lit country club was finally seen, and the big moment in each girl's life had arrived. For this we had spent months of anxious waiting and careful prepa- ration. But, wasn't it worth it, seniors? Will not the pleasant memory of soft music, gay-clad dancing figures, laughing crowds at the refreshment stand, and merry post-Prom fun remain etched in your minds? And who is more fortunate than he who pos- sesses a picture-album of pleasant memories from the past? 41 X 1 f55 A? i s itooiiano roiawwiaa Tl-IIS job is turning out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be. When Mr. Davis, chief of our research bureau, said he wanted a survey of the prog- ress made by each of the members of a high school class that graduated live years ago, I thought I'd have nothing but sore feet and the dullest time ever. But when I found that the class was my own, Kensington, '42, I realized that meeting my Former classmates would probably be a most enjoyable combination ol business and pleasure. With my investigatoris portfolio under my arm, I wallted up City Hospital steps. The ottice Files showed that Kensington was well represented in the nurs- ing Iield, and, anxious to see as many of my old Iriends as possible, I decided to malce an old-home weeI4 of it. Wallcing through the halls, I met nurses Edna G. Bowers, Florence Lee, and Genevieve Mazurelc. Touring the hospital with them, I saw worlcing busily in various wards Beatrice Shore, Maybelle Young, and Merriel Smith. In the laboratories I Found Sylvia Perilstein, Bernice Schneyer, and Esther Klein as technicians, and Lois Pedley as a bacteriologist. Planning the meals were dietitians Evelyn Hallworth and Carolyn Barringer. As I left, Edna Godwin was entering the building in her newly acquired Red Cross uniform. Cn my way to a neighboring high school, I passed Eulala Rodgers, child's nurse, wheeling a baby carriage. Qnce in the school building, I was directed to the classrooms of teachers Norma Waschler, Florence Heller, Marion Robinson, Mary O'Keefe, and Bette Jenney. In the gymnasium Dolores Gonzalez was actively leading her class. Frances Wilkins and Janet Stewart were patiently presiding over a large group ol Icindergarten children in a nearby elementary school. The theater was next on my itinerary. Esther Cligman, up-and-coming dra- matic comedienne, was playing the lead in a current production. Close by, at the Academy ol Music, Gloria Piclcel and Irma Sivaido rehearsed lor the evening oper- atic performance. In the lobby I met Hanna Eubanlcs and Ruth Fernbaclm, who were discussing the relative merits of their orchestras and the recent arrival at the arena of an all-star ice-skating revue with Lillian Bochert in the lead. H3419 Nlarlcet Street, the next address on my list, proved to be a dressmalcing establishment in which Margie Murray, Lucy Melilcian, Margaret James, and Estella Menyweather were employed. Nearby specialty shops were operated by Mary Errichetti and Grace Young. 'Caught in a center-city shopping rush, I was swept along into a department 42 store. Mary Alahverde, Helen Goodwin, Cecilia Baldwin, Dorothy Adolf, Florence Kazigian, and Aurelia Mahnich were behind the counters, ln the dress department Anna Buhlmann, Dorothy Hanna, Minerva Koller, and Elizabeth Krumenaclcer were selling, and Sally Waters and Jean Burlce were modeling. Be- hind the scenes in this department, were buyers Dorothy Norcross and Alice Jennings. Throughout the store were scattered salesgirls Sophie Kucharslci, Thelma McAleer, Evelyn Noll, Dorothy Hershoff, Edith Oehme, Jean Reigle, Florence Riclcards, Evelyn Secouler, Alice Stiegelmann, Ethel Stolove, Betty Tyre, and Mildred Viclcers. Carolyn Esterson was writing ad-copy in the advertising depart- ment, and Anita Simplcins, Elizabeth Wawroski, and Ethel Szelcely were employed in the art department. Operating a beauty concession on the fourth floor was Sylvia Wagner, Helen Dager was a prominent member of her staff of beauticians. HAnother of my downtown calls was at the studio which artists Elaine Einin- ger, Eleanor Zagorda, Rosemary Gavasso, and Lillian Ross share. The search for many of the girls led me to various central city business estab- lishments, among them many of our prominent law offices, publishing houses, indus- trial concerns, and public utilities offices. ln the boolclceeping departments l found Emily Deamer, Elaine Cunliffe, Margaret Hood, Betty Kissiclc, Regina Clayton, Elinore Griffiths, and Rita Clarlcson. Pounding the typewriters were Doris Bloom, Mary Muvinslca, Sylvia Pilia, Marjorie Messiclc, Eleanor Canning, Carol Mur- phy, Marilyn Ritchie, and Catherine Woehr. Lennie Sylces, Edna Sauers, Emily Beclcett, Leona Ludalciewicz, and Katheryn Needham are also successful stenog- raphers. l was told that Florence Weber, Ann Wurzer, Jessie Richmond, May Garland, Margaret Lampe, Eileen McKinney, Pearl Messiclc, Anna Voloschalce- vich, and Harriet Stumacher had passed civil service examinations and had entered various branches of government worlt. Edith Schaeffer, Miriam Rottenberg, Margaret Mingle, Violet Piper, Doris Von Hofen, Beatrice Weinstock, Mary Beclcett, Dorothy Danish, Jean Stawus- zewslci, and Alberta Stierle, l was informed, had traveled to other cities in search of commercial employment. Many were well situated in Vfashington, New Yorlc, or other eastern seaboard cities. ul discovered Margaret Brown, Elma Barbalich, Mary Dubczalc, Lucille Craw- ford, Gertrude Adolf, and Helene Abraham worlcing as secretaries within our city. Bessie Davidson, Shirley Marlcowitz, Marianna Kellenbenz, Mary Mailcow- slca, Florence Paoli, Sylvia Alper, Ruth Morgan, Anna Koller, and Catherine Sautner had found secretarial positions in brolcerage offices, accounting houses, and exporting corporations. Several, indeed, had become private secretaries to promi- nent persons in the literary and political worlds, and still others, after beginning in the commercial field, had discovered journalistic talents and become successful newspaper worlcers. Among these were Rose Molliclc, Mildred Naulty, Margaret Rausch, Ruth Rummler, Jane Schaiclc, Margaret Steiger, Evelyn Tobin, Dorothy Watson, Betty Beideman, Olga Duda, and Isabel Tissot. 43 l-laving been informed that Margaret Lauterwasser vvas often occupied in a nearby district court in the course of her secretarial duties, l decided to chance finding her. The court happened to be in session, so l slipped quietly into a rear seat. Sure enough Margaret was there talcing notes. l was pleasantly surprised at seeing court reporter, Alfreda Melee, and my visit was made even more profit- able when l discovered that Helen Betz vvas the advocate lavvyer of the case in progress. A number of the girls l had just visited had confided to me that, though they enjoyed their vvorl4, they were anticipating matrimony in the near future. l sincerely wished them happiness, and l am certain that their success as wives and mothers will exceed even that of their business careers. Hlndeed, visiting several of the addresses on my list, l found that Goldie Gangurslcy, Doris Dautrich, Catherine Branca, Marion Kelley, Ruth Goldberg, Edna E. Bowers, Anna Fullmer, Charlotte Weyman, and Angelina Lasorsa were already contentedly wed and possessed comfortable homes of their ovvn. l had come to the end of my list then, and lool4ing up as the sun slovvly dis- appeared behind the rugged city horizon tinging the slcy crimson and gold, l felt deeply satisfied. We hadn't become queens, or social dictators, or World-renovvn masterminds. Vet among those vvho, together, departed over Kensington High Schoolls threshold five years ago, there are qualities and joyful prospects for the future that even queens might envyf, A X 3. x f ix X .. .- s 44 TIME C PSU E, JANUARY, 19-42 TART with a gram of world events. Add a few drops of music, a half teaspoon of sports, a spray of fashions, and a gram of amusements. Mix well, la el it time capsule, and store it away until 1959, when you may open it to sigh and smile at what was occurring when you graduated from high school. Talk of the Day: Japan treacherously bombed Honolulu and other United States Possessions in the Pacific on December 7, and declared war on the United States. Wonder how long Russia vvill be able to stand up against German Panzer forces. They say the war will continue for fifty years. John L. Lewis finally ordered the miners back to work. Turkey is the big question mark. Italy and Caermany, too, have declared war on the United States. Music ofthe Day: Could swing be losin ground? Jitterbugs say no fand go into the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire accom- plishes what it insists it does not want to do. Doubtful honor is paid Tschaikowsky by the conver- sion of the majestic Concerto in B-Flat Minor' to Tonight We Love. Pan-American relations are the thing, so steps out Yo te Amo, Oh Baby. Classical music becomes increasingly popular with youth. Audiences are entranced by the genius in the fin- gers of Stokowski and Toscanini. Athletics of the Day: You learn to bowl or prepare yourself for the life of a social outcast. Roller skating remains on the must list of the student. The tennis bug 'invades the gym classes. My back- hand is miserable. ' Let's raise the roof. Increasing sports interest sends out the cry for pecuniary aid for enclosing Ken- sington's roof. Football, football-all is football. No date is so valued as a trip to a game. Clothes of the Day: The torso gets longer, and the skirt becomes shorter and shorter. That wardrobe is incomplete which cannot boast corduroy. Skirts are plaids-and bright. Sweaters are hip- length and too large for the wearer. Red knee socks in dirty saddles still march valiantly in the fashion parade. Tiny pompadour hats sit back on the increasingly popular baby hair styles. High boots in black or white defy the rain. Heart Throbs of the Day: Tyrone Power and Errol Flynn are causing increased heart action, along with ever-popular Clark Gable. H OrsonlWeIles'lvoice is commonly admitted to be thrilling as his Citizen Kane is eagerly awaited. In the intellectual field, Clifton Fadiman, who seeks the information on Information Please, creates a stir. Oh's and ah's greet the exploits of Temple's Handy- Andy Tomasic. Radio Programs ofthe Day: Bob Hope and company draw the largest number of laughs. Tuesday morning question is, Did you hear Lux Radio Theater last night? At 8:55 Columbia presents Elmer Davis and the news. The Quiz Kids entrance listeners with their seldom- failing answers. Bing Crosby is still singing pleasantly. Music of the New York Philharmonic supplies a background for Sunday afternoon activities. The Ford Sunday Evening Hour continues to pre- sent distinguished guests to radio listeners. Books of the Day: William Shirer's Berlin Diary leads the list of news analyses. Wild is the River by Louis Bromfield comes out with promise to be the romance of the year. They Got Me Covered is the very popular auto- biography of Bob Hope. Edna Ferber scores again with Saratoga Trunk. John Qunther delves inside again in Inside Latin America. Comic Strips of the Day: Li'l Abner runs off Cwith Daisy Mae in pursuitb with all the honors in popularity. Haridsome Smilin' Jack and Terry and the Pi- rates are close runners-up for the affection of all readers. A remodeled Tillie the Toiler is climbing into the limelight once more. Theater of the Day: Macbeth lives again as Maurice Evans adds his talents.to those of Judith Anderson to create Shake- speare s characters. Fredric March and Florence Eldridge in Hope for a Harvest show how a woman's courage substitutes hope for futility. Hellzapoppin continues to make audiences roar. Ethel.Barrymore, in the best traditions of her family, stars in The Corn is Green. And probably most characteristic of the times is The Saying ofthe Day: ls that good or bad? 45 ALL SIENIIQIFQS LlRELY, some imaginative lower class girl must have S thought, some Aladdin has rubbed his lamp! Where are the seniors? l-las a magic carpet carried them away? No, it was merely May 29, the day ofthe senior trips. Two groups of chattering girls had gathered outside of Kensington that May morning. The first group was taken to Broad Street Station, the second clambered aboard buses that took them on a tour of our own city. The Washington travelers, speeding on a Baltimore-bound train, bought postal cards and, in illegible handwriting, scrawled notes to the folks back home. Four streamlined buses met them at Washington. The Capi- tol headed the sight-seeing list. What girl can forget her first visit to the Whispering Gallery, the Senate chamber, and the Rotunda? The breathless seniors were whisked swiftly among the wonders of Washington, pausing a short time only at each of the more important buildings, the imperial splen- dor of the White l-louse and the Pan-American Building etched itself sharply upon every memory. Meanwhile the remainder of the class was acquainting itself more intimately with the historic independence and 46 OAIRD Carpenters' Halls, tiny Betsy Ross House, and tranquil Christ Church. Past the Washington Monument, across the new Memorial Bridge, and through Fort Myer to Arlington Cemetery ran the Washington itinerary. They stopped to explore the Lee Mansion, see the Tomb oi the Unknown Soldier, and admire the Memorial Amphitheater, Mount Vernon next entranced the group with its stately loveliness, but a sudden downpour returned the girls to their buses and later prevented any care- ful examination oi the Lincoln Memorial. At the same time, more than a hundred miles away, sister seniors were gazing down from City Hall tower at the vast panorama of Philadelphia spread below. At six o'clock in Washington, weary but still exuberant seniors boarded a Kensington High School Special in Union Station and sped homeward, dining on delicious roast chicken, talking excitedly, and exchanging autographs. Our senior trips were over, but the delightful memories ol this eventful day may outlast even those graphic accounts recorded by the ever-accurate eye ol the camera. 47 4 7.'a 'lx:f- ASSIING Left: Senior in Marble Hall.

I II III IV V VI We leave to the Sophomores, the Juniors, and the Seniors the re-established Stunt Night. May it remain as one of Kensington's traditional events! We leave to the Sophomores, first, the privilege of getting acquainted with their new surroundings. Secondly, we be- stow upon them the Sophomore Reception, their first intro- duction to school society. As our third bequeathal, we leave them the thrill of their first dance with those hand- some Northeast students. ' We leave to the Juniors the honorable positions of Big Sisters and Study Hall Monitors. To them we also bequeath the job of Lunchroom Monitor and, with it, the problem of controlling the mad dash of hundreds of starving girls each lunch period. We bestow upon the best mathematicians the duties of the Bank Teller. As a final bequest, we leave the Juniors Junior Day, the only day when they may command their awe-inspiring upperclassmen. We leave to the Seniors two long-awaited events, their Prom and their Class Trip. We grant them the pleasure of putting together and getting ads for their Record Book. We pass on to the Seniors the worry of not passing their C Level test in time to graduate and the immense disappointment that class pictures invariably bring. We also bestow upon the l2B's the exclusive honor of being Hall Monitors. We leave to the Faculty the satisfaction of seeing us go forth after a successful conclusion to our high school years To the Faculty we also bequeath the enjoyment of welcoming new faces each term. We also leave each teacher the hope of some day having so bright a class that tests are unnecessary We hereby leave to all future graduates of Kensington the happiness had by us while attending our Alma Mater. We may no longer be remembered within her portals, but the memory of Kensington will remain in our hearts forever. CLASS OF JANUARY, 1942.

A. is the controlling body of government by the students with aid of the Faculty. To develop a liner type of citizenship among the students is its chief aim, and it is the baclcbone ol all our activities. Modeled alter the United States Congress, it consists of a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer, sena- tors, and representatives. Several social Functions are sponsored by the S. A. Stunt Night, held in the spring of every year, is one of our most popular activities. Entering into l4een, sportsmanly competition, the girls of each class cheer vvildly For their color, and the winning class, selected by piclced judges, is given a cup. Bow Day, another exciting event, is held in honor of the new students each term and lends gay color to Kensington halls and classrooms. The S. A. also distributes llovvers among those students who are ill. Every club is chartered by our central governing organization. The Athletic Council, a division of the S. A., has jurisdiction over the Following clubs: Bad- minton, Basltetball, Leaders, Riding, Svvimming, Tennis, and Volleyball. These clubs develop healthy minds and bodies as vvell as cooperation and sportsmanship among the girls. Girls who are interested in the theater or special arts jointhe A Cappella Choir, the Vocal Ensemble,the Stagecralt Club,or the Dramatic Clubs. The activities of these organizations aid many students in developing or discovering natural talents. They also contribute to the entertainment and Financial vvellare of the entire school by means of various programs. An opportunity for further study in certain subjects is atlorded by the Bible, Current Events, and Retail Selling Clubs, as Well as by the Mathematics Club lor Nurses and the Pan-American League. The V. G. Ci. concentrates its efforts on vvel- fare vvorlc and seelcs regularly to bring increased happiness into neighboring hos- pitals by distributing toys and other useful articles. We believe that participation in these activities has helped each member of this graduating class to gain a greater sense ol responsibility and a Finer conception ol American citizenship, and vve sincerely wish that the future ol every girl may uphold that belief. 59 STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION Sponsor- Miss Twaddell President G.
