On all the seven seas, men of all nationalities, in both the Navy and the Mer- chant Marine, have fought and toiled valiantly for us. A great commander once said, Don't give up the ship! and thus set a high standard of courage and endurance for all sea-faring men. So, as we chart our course, we proudly dedicate this book to all the men of the sea and raise this toast: May you sail your ships ever through calm seas until you come to port at last in the peaceful harbor of eternity! ALICE ST. AUBYN. 4 THREE YEARS BEFORE THE MAST As june twentieth approaches, we realize that at last the voyage on the good ship Ken- sington is nearly over. The voyage has had its ups and downs. Many times, when the turbu- lent seas churned about the boat and the wind howled, you wanted to abandon the ship. But you looked at your shipmates and officers who were setting such fine examples, lifted your chin, and bucked the storm. Your toil and patience were rewarded, too, because soon the ship came into peaceful, calm waters. With our three years before the mast over, we wonder what use our training here will be in the work we will be doing five years from now. Will this three-year training period be the pat- tern for our future? Will we be wise enough to put it to the greatest advantage? Our work here has been for a purpose, as we all know, so let's not store what we've learned on the shelf. As we leave our safe harbor of apprentice- ship, we take the wheel of a new ship. Let's pave the way with knowledge. Good sailing, Mates. M. J. M. T. 5 f , is 1-sax., 'A 'Q N l 3 . 3 A -,..-.i11 MARIE VK. LONGSHORE it ' Principal H Three years ago you set sail on a voyage which you have now completed. just what kind' of ship you selected no one but and your intimate associates know. VVhat you carried as 'fcargong then and what you planned to bring to port with you, is something of which you again had fullcontrolg It was your privilege to choose, and we sincerely hope you 'chose wisely. What you do with the cargo you have gathered from the miiny ports you have put into may now be precious to you. You have most assuredly gathered treasures which should be precious toiyoiiland shouldlbecome more so as the years pass by. You have had the privilege of meeting and knowing ,a great many other travelers, and we hope you continue to make similar contacts in the years ahead. 72w.L.7K 6 MRS. RATHMELL Class Sponsor To 'rms Cmss or JUNE, 1946: Never in the past, as now, have world events entered so rap- idly or so deeply into the daily lives of every individual. The radio, the airplane, the many other astounding scientitic inventions and discoveries have changed the meaning of the word, neighbor. Our neighbors have ceased to be only those in our immediate geographic environment. The area has Constantly widened, like the ripples that follow a stone thrown into still water, so that now who can point out the stopping place? 'l'he United Nations are striving at present to establish peace, to settle the relationships between nations so that the countries of the world can live as good neighbors. Regardless of your immediate plans for the future, whether they be for study, a career, or a home, you will find your horizons broadeningg then should come an increasing realization of your re- sponsibility to become a thinking member of society. You cannot close your eyes and ears to world problems, for what may appear to affect only one group sometimes expands and engulfs many. VX hat can you do? Read, listen, think-on all sides of a ques- tion, not just from the angle of your own personal desires and needs. Our nation and the world need much more than just citizens, they need citizens who are also understanding, willing neighbors to all. 7 TIHIIE FACULTY Special Assistant to the Principal, Miss Laura F.

President 15 BETTY NICKLOUS Class President Stately yon vessel sails adown the tide To some far' distant land advenzfurotus bound. S a ship slowly leaves the safety of its port, so too must we leave Kensington to go our separate ways. For the past three years, we have been a part of the crew of a gigantic ship. lVe must now steer our own Vessel. The day will come when we shall be the captain of our ship, but that will come later. Not all waters are smooth, as we shall soon learn. It will be our responsibility to meet all perils with fortitude and resourcefulness. Our record book will keep alive the pleasant voyage we have just completed. VVhen your ship goes off its course and the waves are high, remember the words of that famous captain, Lawrence: Don't give up the ship. BETTY NICKLOUS.

LIFE AT SE WorIdWarII THE EUROPEAN THEATER 'I' THE time when we entered Kensing- ton in September, 1943, the Second World War was still raging hercely in Europe. British troops under General Mont- gomery invaded the toe of Italy. The American Fifth Army of General Mark Clark landed at Salerno and, after a costly battle, established a beachhead almost simultane- ously with the announcement that the gov- ernment of Marshal Badoglio had succeeded Mussolini, and the first of the Big Three in the Axis had been thrown out of the war. A bitter winter campaign followed. The Allies made slow progress from Naples. Finally, on May 11, 1944, they launched an offensive that carried them to Rome by june 4. Two days after the fall of the first Axis capital, the greatest amphibious force in history landed in Normandy-D-Day, june 6, 1944. This was a day which we shall never Untried American divisions soon forget. proved that they could beat Hitler's best veterans, and the march to Berlin was on. The beachhead was immediately built up and enlarged during the next 19 days-one of the most unusual of all military feats. This was followed by one of the swiftest Allied campaigns on record. Months of heavy Hghting culminated in the liberation of France. In October, 1944, after the liberation of France and Belgium, the Americans began stabbing across the Siegfried line. By the middle of the month, Aachen was in American hands. In the middle of November, the German counter-attack was halted and the tide of battle was sweeping toward the east after the Battle of Bastogne, It was the final turning point of the war. From that time on, the Allied tide of armed might moved steadily onward. British and Americans pressed eastward to make a junction with the Russians, sweep- ing westward south of Berlin. Before the end of March, 1945, General Eisenhower had cast aside his policy of caution in speech and announced that Germany had a whipped army. On April 12, 1945,.cfme the death of one of our greatest Presidents and heroes, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The world was deeply shocked, and People everywhere mourned the passing of this honored leader. Yet there was no slackening of military effort. Then began the collapse of the Axis. Mus- solini was captured and put to death in Italy on April 29. Two days later the German radio announced that Hitler was dead and that Admiral Doenitz had taken over. Berlin fell to the Russians the next day, and the German Armies in northern Italy and Austria surrendered. Surrender became the order of the day- May 8,1945-and German Commanders put their names to documents that satisfied the demand announced by President Roosevelt at the Casablanca Conference-unconditional surrender. LEONA WOLFF. THE PACIFIC THEATER The Pacific theater of war, like the Euro- pean theater, was full of action towards the end of 1943. American victories followed one after the other. One which we can never forget was the heroic victory of the United States Marines in the bloody battle of Tarawa in November of that year. All these victories of 1943 opened the way to the Philippines and Marianas, the front door to japan. General MacArthur opened his 1944 campaign with a jump to Saidor. He then proceeded to make landings on Wake Island on May 20. Admiral Nimitz struck at the Marshalls, the heart of Japan's Pacific defenses. Kwajalein was taken, the first American conquest territory that had been japanese at the start of the war. The capture of Truk, the japanese Gibralter of the Pacific, then followerl, and the Marianas were open for attack. One of the first islands of this group taken was Saipan, the possession of which meant control of the Central Pacific. On October 20 of 1944, General MacArthur waded ashore on the coast of l.eyte in the lfhilippines and called on the Filipinos to rise and strike. The greatest naval battle of the war, and the greatest in American naval history, followed. The japanese lost more than half of their maximum naval strength, and japan no longer was a real naval power. MacArthur's forces advanced, and the final blow came on Christmas Day. General MacArthur announced that the japanese Army had suffered its greatest defeat. On july 5, 1945, final word came that the Thilippines had been cleared of the invader. While the battle of Manila was being fought, our Marines attacked lwo jima, a dot island in the l'acific. After it was taken, the fight pressed on to Okinawa, an island in the Ryukus, 325 miles from japan. Russia renounced its neutrality pact with japan on April 5, 1945. Soon the first American soldiers from the German front arrived in Manila. The eighth Air Force, under I ieutenant General james H. Doolittle, arrived from Europe and swung into action with attacks against the japanese homeland, supported by Admiral Halsey's fieet with its swarm of flattops. From l'otsdam, in july, the United States, Great Britain, and Canada called on japan to surrender or face complete destruction. American warships gained entrance to Tokyo Bay and smashed the remnants of the japanese Navy. Tokyo ignored the surrender ultimatum, even though the city was completely block- aded by B-29's. On August 6, the first atomic bomb was dropped on a japanese city. Hiroshima was wiped out. Russia now declared war on japan, opening attacks on the Manchurian border as atomic bomb No. 2 dropped on Nagasaki and another japanese industrial center disappeared. japan acted. She agreed to accept the terms of the Potsdam Declara- tion, provided the Allies gave assurance that Hirohito might remain on the throne. The Allies agreed to this, with the provision that the emperor would submit to the authority of the Fuprenxe Allied Commander in japan. There was no answer from Tokyo, and the Third Fleet began a new carrier attack on August 13. On August 14, the Tokyo radio announced that the japanese Government had decided to surrender. Formal articles were signed on the battleship Missouri, in Tokyo Bay, with General MacArthur acting for the Allies as Supreme Commander in the Far East. There followed the occupation of japan. l.li0NA Wo1.rF. FASHION There has been very little change in the school girl's fashions this year of 1946. The sweater and skirt team is as popular as ever. The sweaters are plain or decorated with deer, rabbits, or telephone numbers. Skirts are very slim or quite full with the new unpressed pleats. A new addition is a wide belt worn with the sweater and skirt. ln the way of dresses, styles have changed somewhat. Turtle necks are very popular, with the Mandarin neckline in second place. All the girls are trying to achieve the tiny waistline effect. This is done by having large shoulders with dolman sleeves, a wide belt, and a full barrel skirt to give that com- plete Hnipped-in look. 2 4 ts. . ....,. ' X ,V W f f - ' O Q Gln: .nd Qi -sz - Vid! Y The coats worn this year are as attractive as ever. The coachman's coat is a favorite with its large lapel and belt to give that tiny waist effect. Shorties are popular for dress as well as for school. Dolman, bishop, and kimona sleeves are used a great deal in coats. Suits, too, are all made to give the effect of a tiny waist. The battle jacket is used in many suits, with either a slim or a full skirt. Bell-hop suits are liked by many. The plain sports suit is still popular with the school girl. Berets are among the most popular hats worn, either for school or dress. For dress, a jeweled pin is added to the beret. Stocking caps .are also well-liked by many. Sissy sailors are coming this spring, with flowers, bows, or almost any sort of trimming. Jewelry is a must in every girl's ward- robe. Many silver and gold bracelets are worn together, sometimes reaching halfway up the forearm. Pearls and Chokers of all types are worn on simple dresses and on sweaters. As far as shoes go, we have the loafer and the jester in first and second place, with the good old saddles coming in third. Backless, fiat-heeled jesters are worn with our dressy clothes as well as with sweaters and skirts. Well, that just about sums up what the teen-age girl is wearing. She's a mighty chic-looking chick. BETTY PAVLETICH. BOOKS Fiction books, preferred over non-fiction, are at the head of the list of current favorites. The Black Rose and UA Lion is in the Streets are best sellers. The Gauntlet is one of the newest books and is fast becoming most popular. The VVhite Tower and 'lWinter Wheat are Hn1usts on everyone's reading lists.

MUSIC f'Symphony, one of the top tunes of 1946, was brought to the United States from France by our fighting men. 1 ig HSN G alll P l The motion picture industry gave to the nation such first place songs as It Might as Well Be Spring, That's for Me, and It's a Grand Night for Singing. Vaughn Monroe became one of the most popular band leaders. He made such re- cordings as f'Fishing for the Moon, Let it Snow, and f'There l've Said it Again. I Can't Begin to Tell You, from the movie Dolly Sisters was another popular song. Taken from the classical Polonaise, by Fredric Chopin, was a melody with new words, which soon came to be known as Till the End of Time. There were other top tunes such as Oh What it Seemed to Be, Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief, 'fMoney is the Root of all Evil, and Someday. ELs1E KAMPF. MOVIES VVe happily hailed the two best stars of the year. Ray Milland and joan Crawford were the proud recipients of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' awards for the past year. Lost Weekend won hrst place above all other motion pictures. The top musical of the year was Anchors Aweigh, a story about two sailors and a girl, that starred Gene Kelly, Kathryn Grayson, and Frank Sinatra. The best comedyewas Wonder Man that starred the inimitable Danny Kaye. Another excellent picture was, The Bells of St. Mary's. It was a continuation of the previous year's academy award winner, Go- inglVlyWay. Bing Crosby was a young priest working hard to rescue a parochial school from some financial difiiculties. Ingrid Berg- man was starred as one of the nuns, and joan Carol as the little girl with all the troubles. ft, - Wie - XX A Other outstandinf Jictures of the 'ear . is l 5 were Leave Her to Heaven, This Love of Ours, S iellboundf' and Sentimental l journey. Ersm KAMPF. THEATRE The season's successful plays have been many and varied, to appeal to all tastes. In the political field there was State of the Union. The story of the success of Supreme Court judge, Oliver Wendell Holmes, was told in The Magnificent Yankee. In the mystery line we had Therese The best in heavy drama was displayed in Deep are the Roots, and The Hasty Heart. On the lighter side, the musicals Are You With lt and On the Town were favorites. Oklahoma and Bloomer Girl are still going strong. The season's most costly flop was 'fNellie Bly. 'l'mciuzsA ZABOROWSKI. SPORTS The athletic programs of 1945 were of vital interest to the Kensington Community. We have dillied and dallied through our senior year, but now that our school days are coming to an end, we remember a few facts such as: Football-eThis year Army found itself with the best team in Army history. Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis, backed by a strong team, went undefeated through the 1945 season. On December 2, 1945, here in Philadelphia, Army beat Navy 27-7. Un the same day, Southern High School beat Northeast High School, 18-6, and took the Public League Championship. A week later Southern defeated West Catholic High School for the City Championship, for the second time in two years. Basketball-Southern High School again captured the Public League Title by defeating Northeast High School 34-28. Southern, however, was defeated by La Salle High School, thus giving La Salle the City Cham- pionship title. Baseball-The Phillies opened their 1946 exhibition season with a victory over the Athletics. Frank McCormick and Jim Labor helped to make the team click. The return games with the Athletics didn't prove so successful and the A's stepped into the spot- light once again. joe Di Maggio is back with the Yanks. This great team may be making headlines soon. Swimming--At the end of every swim- ming season, Public and Catholic high schools join together in an interscholastic swimming meet. The competition is great with so many schools competing, but our Catherine Stru- bert, who has been on the varsity swimming team of Kensington for three years, placed first in the 100-and 50-yard freestyle.

A An Idle Hour WHEN GOD'S PORT IIS NEAR When the candle of life at long last burns low, And God's Port will soon be in sight, When the mind is weary and the feet are slow, And the hours grow longer each night, Q There are tirnes when the present world fades from sight, And we travel back to the long, long ago. We see across the years those old beloved faces, Youthful friends we once held so dear, Through the rnisl of tirne we see those old forgotten places, Scenes of joy in a youth free from all fear,- While the ship to God's Port sails ever more near, We find joy in the youth that rnernory retraces.
